I enjoyed your humor, how you shared the products, the comparisons, and really appreciated you pronouncing the words as I am/we are looking/reading/seeing the package/product.

    We also had coin type trolleys here in Australia even in the 80s, but for some reason the supermarkets here stoped ysing them. But when Aldi came here in the early 2000s, they brought those trolleys back. Love Aldi by the way!

Unsere Besuche dort sind immer herrlich und nostalgisch. Leider seit Corona nicht mehr möglich. Eines möchte ich noch zum Video hinzusetzen: I was most impressed by the refund system for plastic bottles in the Supermarkets. If we had that in SA, the country would be much cleaner! Thanks Mike.

    Having visited both Germany and US, as a Brit, I have to say that Germany is far ahead than the US in terms of quality of produce and food overall. America has a lot of choice but it's mostly tripe. Germany lacks choice but does things well.

      Agreed. I lived half my life in the USA before I moved back to the UK, and the produce in US supermarkets is horrible. Most of the produce we ate in South Carolina either came from our garden or from the neighbourhood farmer's market. The shite they sell in the supermarket is barely fit to feed animals.

    We stayed at the Hotel Maas. We couldn’t read the menu so the manager said “no problem, I’ll make what Americans like.” Biggest platter I’ve ever seen piled high with potatoes, sausages, peppers, onion. Fantastic.
