I really love this content from you. I traveled to New York earlier this year and initially only watched New York food content because I was going there! But I like your videos and want to still see cool stuff exactly like this! Loved it. 👍🏻
Also sasperella is a popular drink in London, it became traditional to drink it in pie and mash shops in London with your pie mash and liquor! There was a famous factory called Baldwins making it on the Walworth Road in London. It’s also very popular in the Caribbean/Jamaican community in London/uk. ❤

Isn’t scrapple in all grocery stores?!?
Is very good I had at third Thursday is a street festival in Willimantic Connecticut every third Thursday
What a great adventure if I went to any of those cities those markets would be a must see. Thanks for the fun. How about a video. Search for the American old fashion soda fountain. Who still has egg creams
I loved the animatronics. Im a sucler for musicals 🎼 😅
I really like your videos but I wish youtubers would stop using AI for their thumbnails 🙁 generative AI is very environment unfriendly and ethically questionable. Maybe do some research and rethink your usage of AI. I hope I said this as kindly as possible since I just want to educate people. What you do is your decision.
I’ve been to Jungle Jim’s a number of times and a great trip every time. Love Jungle Jim’s.
We live in Lancaster county and have shopped at Shady Maple. The gourmet fruit breads are fantastic!
The Amish store looks good. Mmmm pepperoni bread.
This was one of your BEST videos EVER!!!!! It was so much fun to see the "weird" items in these other grocery stores (other than Stew Leonards which I have been to a million times) – but especially the Ohio and Las Vegas grocery stores. Thank you for another amazingly creative and innovative video concept!
I'm only a couple hours from Jungle Jim's but still haven't been 😢
OmegaMart is a must-see if you're in Vegas. The whole Area 15, well, area, is also very cool. Highly recommend it! Will take a few hours to get through all of OM, there's an option to join a questline to learn more about what's going on. Do it if you have the time!!
Root Beer is called that BECAUSE it was, at some point, brewed from the root of the Sasparilla plant
Well that was a bit different. You don't get that sort of weird stuff over here in our UK Supermarkets (or the banned ingredients used in US Foods). Don't know how you came up with this idea for this video. Definitely changing up the content. Good for you. Trying to keep things fresh. I just hope you go back to doing some old school New York Jon Barr videos every now and again plus the newer style content like these supermarket ones and eating challenges because this is what made you so good. Nice work as usual. Keep well.
Thank you. ❤🎉
Camel meat I would absolutely like to try !
I live 5 minutes away from jungle Jim's in fairfield and I used to work directly next to the one in Eastgate .
The last supermarket is straight out of Alan Wake.
This was a fun video. Thanks (:
