Old Show for you to reference #5: Supermarket Sweep!

"This is a vegetable that is also in the old saying, 'Mind your ____ and Q's'. Yellow team, you buzzed in first"
"English!"

English in the 1990's was a vegetable. It was such a popular vegetable that everybody that lived in the United States spoke it every day.
The iconic gameshow of 90's galore had a host to die for, as a father.
David Ruprecht was the ultimate looking father. He's still got some of his looks, he knows a lot about buying groceries, and he was always cracking jokes that would make anyone under nine laugh. Hand the guy a can of Busch to drink while he hosted and its game over for Father of the Year award.
Rupy asked his contestants food related questions and if you go it right, you had to let your partner, who was in the same awesome cotton sweater try and answer the question. Then it was on to practically hangman.
But it all built up to climax of the show, the Supermarket Sweep! Finally, twenty minutes of answering Neanderthal questions to accumulate more time to shop was going to pay off.
The Blue team bolted towards the deli and grabbed the biggest ham they could possibly lift. Then the dairy aisle was close enough for the cheese wheel. BIG BUCKS BIG BUCKS NO WHAMMY STOP! Wrong game but that's what I always thought would be cool if a Whammy popped up out of the freezer aisle and took away some of their items. Anyways, whoever racked up the biggest bill won the game,
If you ever have this competition between you and some soccer mom's at a local grocery store, take these steps towards beating them:
1. Realize they need this more than you do, they actually want to keep the groceries.
2. Don't care about step number one.
3. Grab a big ol' ham.
4. Grab cheese.
5. Stuff your cart with diapers and baby food.
6. Medicines can fit anywhere, stuff em.

And number seven is the big secret to dominating Supermarket Sweep that still hasn't caught on.
7. Use the bottom rack! Nobody ever uses it.

So there you go. Next time you challenge some soccer mom's or Mr. Ruprecht and his colorful sweaters are put back in the game show market, you have an advantage. Remember though, always be prepared for
 in any aisle, at any time.

Check back within two days as I will bring up the biggest lawsuit since Plessy v. Ferguson,
 R. Kelly v. Nickelodeon.
