Thread: Chinese Walmart

Got this email and thought I would share. Now I'm not Chicomm bashing or anything but WOW! Open troughs of unwrapped meat with every passerby handling your potential food? I bet the old guy was digging at the fellas just a few seconds before the pic. Tanks of frogs, crocodiles, etc. Not to mention mashed ducks hung on a rack like flip flops. And my personal favorite, antibacterial underwear.
16 Items They Only Sell At Chinese Walmarts: Pics, Videos, Links, News

I am surprised at all of the refrigeration being used, I remember the farmers markets in Korea, you could buy the worlds largest leeches from a vendor with a wheel barrow surrounded by an immense cloud of flies. Fresh (?) fish from a sheet of plywood with its own swarm of flies and the list could go on. I wished I knew what happened to those pictures, it would be fun to scan and post them.

PS To whom it may concern: I am not bashing Asians, I have had too many good meals with them.

I gotta tell you that you can find some really odd stuff here in Atlanta at a couple of the (very big) international markets, but not crocodiles and live turtles and frogs.

They should market some of that anti bacterial underwear to some of the Walmartians I have seen in this country.

The definition of "this sucks"= walking through one of those Korean farmers markets in the summer time, with a soju hangover. I think I would have thanked someone for putting me out of my misery that day.

They have some cool stuff at Chinese Wal-Mart!

That sounds like something vlad the impaler might say

All these food looked bit exotic except ribs that made me hungry. In urgent need i would also accept Walmart brand spirits.
And yes i'd like to believe that they don't sell underwear in the food section In a case they do that will for sure raise some questions but not any answers i wouldn't want to know.

LOL! That is too funny, ahhh the good ol' days! That little yellow frog could kick some serious butt!

I think we would've gotten along quite well, maybe too well!

Yeah, I think back then we were both probably what used to be called "high speed, low drag", "all thrust and no vector", like most young GIs I was bulletproof back then and I only had one speed, FULL BLAST.

Back then, my motto was "I'll get all the sleep I need when I'm dead." These days I have a different motto, "If I had known I was gonna live this long I'd have taken better care of myself."

You forgot to mention the spring thaw and the smell of a winters worth of urine in the air!
