Who on /ck/ used to watch SuperMarket Sweep?

Greatest gameshow ever?

>> No.4901140

I never understood why they didn't just fill their trolleys with booze for max price/size ratio. Always shoved fuckhueg ironing boards in there like dicks

also Catchphrase shits all over it, based Mr. Chips

Me, I fucking loved that show as a kid.

I used to watch it when I was really young with my mom and grandmom.

They would literally always say how if they were on, they would win.

I always felt like maybe it was against the rules to buy alcohol, but why not just fill up your cart with spices?

I always wondered that too. Seems like maybe some prime rib roasts would be pricey, but hams? It must have been a weird store with limited stock on the shelves.

I wondered why they didn't just go to health and beauty and fill the cart up as much as possible. Shit, that was a fun show to watch though.

>> No.4901230

>>4901212

Most of the items on the shelves, especially the more expensive ones the contestants went after, were made by sponsors of the show. You'd hear the announcer saying, "Contestant #1 is going after Clairol Natural Hair Dye, at just $9 each!" The show took place in a studio, not a supermarket, so unless Jim Beam wanted to pay for an episode, their whiskey wouldn''t be stocked.

Loved this show, why don't they air it on Gameshow Network? Nothing else on that channel is worth watching.

I always thought the prices were pretty inflated for the show. Realistically you would go buy some aspirins at $13 a box but they waste their time grinding coffee which they get more money from for some reason. I wonder if before filming they got to walk through and look at the prices of everything quickly, because you always saw people grabbing the exact same high priced items each episode, like they knew ahead of time what was best. Always hams and diapers.

A feature of my childhood. Pure 90's right down to the team colors (Burgundy, Teal, Banana Yellow). I was too young to understand the strategy, but teams usually went for the turkeys. I used to lol when somebody would just stick their arm out and sweep just whatever the fuck was on the shelves into the cart.

>> No.4902345

>>4901131
Holy shit, that show. I'd completely forgot about it.

I'd never go for the turkeys. I'd be hitting the jerky, nuts, specific higher priced canned foods, pepperoni sticks/sausage links, high priced cooking oil, spices and herbs, LorAnn oils, maple syrup, honey, and basically smaller items that are high priced.

Do you think the winners got to keep whatever they put in their cart, or did they have to return it?

This show was ridiculous and the contestants were awful, but it was good fun.

I'm a firm believer I could win without even using the cart.

Gosh. Meat is nice and everything but if I was on that show I'd head right to the spices aisle. Spices are fucking expensive. I'd get a shitton of fancy cheeses as well. I wouldn't even try to maximize profits and instead just get a few things and head for the finish line.

Yep. There was also a bandit in the store. He would hide in one of the aisles and if he caught you, you lost everything in your cart and had to start again.

Also this was made for suburbanites in the 90s, so spices and booze may have been less usual of an occurrence in their supermarkets.

Well it was a gameshow that took place in a supermarket. First there was some little minigame where the dumb soccer mom contestants would guess what a product with the label removed was, or some other such game. Then the main game was to run around the supermarket and fill up your cart with expensive items so it was worth the most money. Sounds dumb, because it was, but it was good fun that you'd never get to see on tv today.

What was up with those giant cheeses. The host used to call them "expensive imported cheeses." Looked like some kind of bulk swisslike. Those things were bigger than most full wheels I've seen in stores.

>> No.4905124

>>4902014
Yeah it says during the show that the people got to walk through the store before doing the final act. I think the main reason people went for the limit on turkeys and hams and shit is because they didn't figure they were gonna win anyway and why not get enough meat and cheese to last a while. After all you keep what's in your cart.
