Mystery Question that is Plaguing Me!? Grocery Haul Videos

[joatsaint 2,814]

I know someone out there must know the answer to this question about life, the universe, and everything!

Why are "grocery hauls" so popular on Youtube????? Please... someone answer this.

I just don't "get it". Why would anyone want to know what I'm buying at Costco/Walmart/Sams Club/Amazon??????

Why would you want a video tour of my refrigerator????

Or is knowing the answer to this question one of those, "if I told you, we'd have to kill you!" type answers?

What does that mean?

I buy Gouda, margarita lime shrimp, oranges, skinny pop, chicken, Kirkland tortilla Soup and Kirkland coffee (it's starbucks) at costco. Pretty dull...

I just want to know why so many people like watching videos of other people showing and talking about their latest food purchases?

Boring lives? Just a guess.

[JustWatchMe 7,117]

Wow. I guess there's an audience for anything.

[LipstickLady 25,682]

I don't get why people put post about what they are having for dinner on fb. Or that they are doing laundry. Or a myriad of other daily tasks that are duller than dirt.

[JustWatchMe 7,117]

Or "checking in" everywhere they go. ??? Hey creepers!! Follow me around!! I don't get it. One of my best friends checked in to a Panera restaurant and tagged me too. Wth? You want stalkers, fine, but leave me out of it! Maybe I'm a little sensitive cause my NSETBEx is a creeper. But sheesh.

I am one of those people who posts what they are having for dinner to Facebook (occasionally) but mostly because I have a ton of sleever friends on there and we like to get ideas from each other. I know no one else cares that I had tuna casserole last Wednesday! lol

[LipstickLady 25,682]

I do occasionally, too. It's the people who posts pics of their every meal that make me scratch my head.

'Hauls" in general are popular Youtube vids. I'm in a few fashion & makeup groups and you'll see shopping hails and makeup hauls. ::Shrug:: Not my thing, but I'm not really phased by it.

I will on occasion post a picture of my dinner but usually only when I've made something really good that also photographs well. _{(cause sometimes good food looks like vomit or dogfood when photographed).}

Life is too short to watch videos of grocery shopping. Every once in a while I do post photos of food to my small sleever group and health conscious group but that is simply to share a recipe with pix.

youtube is an amazing resource, but...

I've never heard of these videos! They sound a bit odd. THough I have to admit to being one of those people who "checks in" on FB quite a bit. I'm not worried about stalkers because the only people who see these are my FB friends, not the general public. Why do I do it? For my own benefit, not for anyone else. I have always kept track of where I go and what I do--I have calendars back to the 80s that have all this info on them! lol. Yes, it's a weird obsession and I can't seem to stop! And I have discovered now that my mother has always done this, too.

[JustWatchMe 7,117]

Do you tag your friends when you check in?

[esskay77 785]

No, I don't tag my friends when I check in. If I were to do that, I would probably only tag the ones who also do the check-in's. I have some friends who would not want me to tag them and I respect that. But, I usually don't tag anyone.

I found this topic to be hilarious!! I HATE grocery shopping!! In fact I don't do it!

Maybe if it was a "professional" shopper who went out and video'd their haul as a marketing tool but why do that for no reason?

We already know that Americans spend too much money on stuff do we need video evidence of that now too:) Sorry it's just like the couponing hoarders that buy vats of soap and toilet paper and every thing that's on sale or has a coupon. Are they feeding or taking care of a hungry nation with all that stuff?

If you are so bored why not go back to school and learn something useful if nothing else I'm 100% sure there are ditches that need filling and roads that could use some work. Come on people...get out there and live life food shopping is a necessary evil like taking a poop I don't need to see it or hear about it..but you know that will be next!!
