Everything is huge in Americky ain't it?
Supermarkets. Page 4
Pretty much. Even toilet cubicles are about 3x bigger than they need be. (even the non-disabled ones) That's another one that struck me when I got back.
Waitrose is the very best. Just a pleasant experience from start to finish.
Was shopping the other day and a chap in the queue hadn't bothered with a basket but was just carrying half a dozen things in his hands. The top item (a cauliflower) rolled off. As he stooped to pick it up, I naturally shouted "Crackerjack".
Not a flicker of recognition. Is it me...?
No grapes were crushed in the previous comment........

Umm possibly because crackerjack was cabbages...?
Not cauliflowers
I know that Crackerjack was a kid's show from the olden times of yore. But I've no idea what that has to do with dropped vegetables.

You're shouting "Crackajack" at strangers ? I only came on this thread to find out if Supermarket Sweep was a comedy.

Ed Stewpot Stewart would reward the successful ankle biters with raw cabbages

Yes, it really was with the original Crackerjack and Eamonn in B&W. The cabbage then was a penalty, and when the Crackerjack pencil was awarded everyone would shout out Crackerjack!!
We did laugh...............................

I just remember "it's Friday, it's five to five, it's Crackerjack".
Not that I watched it.
I just tuned in to get the time before watching the programme I made myself about the speaking clock.
A truly stellar line-up of comic legends. Maclean, Francis, Little and Large, Brush, Clifton, Krankies, and the colossal talent of the immortal Peter Glaze. Saturday Night Live??? Beat that .........
How to turn people who could have become Einstein into the sort of robots who walk around Aldi.

It rolled on to this one - Phill Jupitus when he used to be Bob Carolgees with Spit, Mick and Twigs.

Well that's a load of late 1970s bollocks, make it easier for the kids - artificial cabbages WITH handles on?!?! What the f**k?! And not a murmur when he handed out a Crackerjack pen and pencil.
Nowhere near so much of a laugh as the original show.
