Found Grocery List #2

A few of you have pointed out that we're not the first to be interested in found grocery lists. In fact, if you're interested in the concept, this site is pretty amazing. And there's a BOOK out there as well.

But, that isn't stopping us.
We're pleased to present the second in our "Found Grocery List" series.

Found Grocery List #2 (front and back)_

Found at: Outpost Natural Foods, abandoned in a stray shopping cart













Points of interest (or "What we DO know about this list):

  • We happen to know that Juusto is a type of cheese, and it is very delicious
  • Kefir is also quite good, and it's filled with beneficial pro-biotics.

Some questions this particular piece raises:

  1. What in the world is #5 from the top?
  2. What about the last item on the list?
  3. What type of assertions can we make about someone who writes his/her grocery list on the back of a technical spec sheet?

What do you think?

Found Grocery List #1

Maybe you've heard of found art?
Well, we seem predisposed to finding abandoned grocery lists.
After finding our third grocery list in a matter of weeks, I told Peef that we were going to start blogging about them.

I'm convinced that a grocery list says a great deal about a person. There are all sorts of variables -- the paper it's written on, the language that's used, the abbreviations used, the language chosen to express real, basic needs. Grocery lists are thought-provoking and HIGHLY personal items.

And so, I present the first in an ongoing series...

Some questions this particular piece raises:
  1. What is Hot Cho? Does it go with waffles?
  2. Who is Teah?
  3. Why does mom need special bacon?
