20 grocery store items that are not even good enough when panic shopping

The world has changed virtually overnight, and we’re seeing some human behaviour that… interesting to say the least. Good luck finding any toilet paper or hand sanitizer at your local grocery store.

But there are some items that just can’t seem to make it off the shelves, even in desperate times.

1) What does everyone have against raisins?

Am I alone in my love for cinnamon raisin bagels? A perfectly toasted, sweet, cinnamon-y slice of heaven goes perfectly with some cream cheese. You don’t know what you’re missing, people!

2) This makes sense

Who knew this existed? I don’t know what the people at Kraft were thinking when they came up with this, but it was a bad call. Here’s the evidence to prove it.

3) An age old rivalry

I’m surprised they even stock it on the shelves in New England to be honest. It’s a matter of pride. Now let’s see the shelves in New York for comparison’s sake!

4) This settles the debate

Americans refuse American pineapple pizza, so this makes sense to me. This should put an end to the debate and hopefully everyone can be friends again.

5) Kraft of GTFO

No one wants to eat Peter Pan peanut butter. Literally any of the other brand would be considered before someone would reach for that bottom shelf… but it looks like things are bad enough that a few people resorted to it.

6) Fake pasta? No thanks.

Lol. Chickpea pasta. Who comes up with this stuff and why do they believe we want it? Bring back our real pasta! This is a crime.

7) Chocolate… hummus?

At least it hasn’t come to this. Rule #1: never ever mix chickpeas with chocolate. What are we even supposed to dip in this? No. Just no.

I’ll give the Buffalo hummus a pass because at least it’s within the same savory flavor palette. But I can’t blame people for not choosing this time to be brave and try it.

8) Vegans will survive the apocalypse

Not only does their protein have longer and more forgiving expiry dates… there’s plenty of it. If you’ve ever considered going vegan, now may be your time!

9) Pierogis

Canada is a multi-cultural country where they embrace all kinds of different foods… except pierogis, apparently.

Plain pierogis made the cut, but the more adventurous varieties like roasted garlic potato, blueberry, sauerkraut, potato and cheddar, are still sitting pretty, waiting to be brought home to a good family.

10) This one doesn’t add up

I thought we were all of the mind that you could never have too much parmesan. Aren’t you eating pasta? Pizzas? Salads? I’m baffled.

11) Oh let’s get some… ew, nevermind

No fries left in the frozen foods section… unless you want “low-fat” french fries. Ha! What’s the point of those? Salt & fat are the key ingredients, thank you very much.

12) Water-loyalty is a real thing

I’ve never understood this, but there are people who claim to know the difference in taste between tap and bottled water, and even the difference between brands. I’m skeptical.

But this has convinced me somewhat. Even in the apocalypse… no one is willing to buy a case of Dasani. Now can we do the same for Nestle? #StopNestle

13) They’d rather go without?

When toilet paper is making newspaper headings around the world, and supplies are running short, people still want their favorite brands.

14) Seems like they’re worth at least trying

It’s the apocalypse and they’re discounted. And yet, they still can’t sell. It makes me wonder what happens to these when there’s no panic-buying going on.

15) Weird mix but ok

Seems harmless enough, but I guess it’s hard to imagine what you could be cooking that would ever need this combo. Stir fry, sure, but then why don’t get a whole frozen stir fry mix? No one will be resorting to just plain onions and peppers and that’s a fact.

16) Buy they’re so good!

The one thing I can think of to point the blame away from these delicious chips… is that all the shelves around them seem to have discount stickers while the Takis remain full price.

That’s gotta be the reason you’re all missing out these great chips, right?

17) It will never be this bad

Never ever ever in a million years. Fire whoever came up with this, and whoever approved this, immediately.

18) Ummm

So, I’d very much like to believe this isn’t what I think it is. I’d like to have more faith in people. But after Corona beer reported a drop in sales since the outbreak… I’m finding it hard to believe this is a coincidence.

19) Fancy pastas

Oh man, people don’t know what they’re missing with gnocci. And lasagna?! That seems like the best apocalypse food – it reheats like a dream.

20) Baaaaaaaaby… shark do do do do do do

Yeah, I see why no one wants this. Every time you open the cupboard you’d get that damn song stuck in your head! Move your children past this quickly in a single file line, cover their eyes if you have to.

Who knew these are the choices we’d make in times of crisis? We’re living in a strange world.

On the bright side, this might help grocery stores and food companies to reassess what products people do and really don’t want.

Like, please cool it on the chocolate hummus.
