Supermarket Sweep

We rushed to the back office, and I turned the TV on.

An episode of Supermarket Sweep was playing.

A husband and wife were tearing through the aisles, trying to find the hidden $5,000.

I clicked through the channels.

The Great Pumpkin.

Static.

Back to Supermarket Sweep.

Then the show cut away to a woman at the news desk.

okay.

That's old school, because that's used to happen in Supermarket Sweep.

I've heard of this, actually.

The game show from the 90s, or probably late 80s and into the 90s.

No, that would have been before that.

My college roommate liked to watch Supermarket Sweep, but that was before 91.

I think I remember watching it in the dorm room and not the apartment.

You know what? I'm just going to say it might have been our last year of school, and it might have been in the apartment we had and not our dorm room.

I'm just going to say supermarket

sweep.

Supermarket sweep from 287 yards away.

I'd say you hit it about 215 yards.

So on the buymeacoffee.com slash the Hake Report, I'm pretty well sure I read all the coffees from Michael and Canada.

So Popcorns Thumbcake asks, did you ever watch the show Supermarket Sweep? Sweep, like with a broom.

As a kid, supermarket sweep.

I don't think so.

I'm sure a few people in your audience have, even if you haven't.

Now, this is an appeal to anyone who, I was watching TV last night, having a bit of dinner, and I flicked over to a programme that I could see on BBC One called Hole in the Wall, which I thought might be a documentary about the credit crunch, you know, banks and all that, and then I saw Dale Winton.

And I thought, well, this probably isn't a documentary, but, you know, Supermarket Sweep, maybe he's using his experience.

And then what preceded was a program that the conception of it made my blood boil.

And I sat watching it angrily.

[laughs]

My ninth, again, because it was just fun, was Supermarket Sweep.

[gasps] Oh, that was a fun one.
