Once at rite aid there was a sale on Arizona tea and I tried to pick up like, 6 or 8 of the big cans? It was a catastrophe that ended with me kind of stuck halfway in the fridge door using all four limbs to contain the cans unable to move. One of the workers, who knew me from many previous Arizona tea purchases, saw me from halfway across the store, raised his eyebrows, I nodded, and he came to my rescue a moment later with a basket lol

You pray for an abandoned cart with even a wonky wheel, but even that will evade you, so you get creative and figure out how to start hanging whatever you're purchasing on each finger until you get to the checkout.

One of my local grocery stores doesn’t allow you to go grab a cart after you start shopping. It’s so stupid
Philip Rutter 1 year ago
What, you haven't figured this out?? This standard Walmart practice - find somebody looking distracted, with 1-3 small items in their cart - follow them, wait until the leave the cart for a moment- dump all your stuff on top of their stuff, turn the cart around, move very slowly- and when they come back looking confused, give them a nice friendly - 'Um... what?" smile...
Steve Hall 1 year ago
Or maybe you could just get a cart when you enter the store. There is nothing wrong with pushing a cart to the checkout counter with only a quart of milk in it.

As mentioned above, I Am Hungry AF (@iamstarvingaf) is an Instagram meme page that posts content about all things food. But not in the traditional sense—no recipes or Instagram shots of the lovely things you’ve had for lunch.
Rather, it’s memes and posts about relatable realizations and concepts and situations that tie in with food, which in turn might make you super hungry. All right, not all things food then, but better! The 335,000 followers can attest to it.

I would love to fly, but I wouldn't be able to even if I could, because everyone would see and then they would either dissect me, or treat me like a star and pry into my life. So I would hide my gift. If I could have any power, I would instead choose to be able to cause dopamine, oxytocin and serotonin in my self and others around me. I would use this new power to relieve my depression and to make sure that my family is always happy.

Ah, there is Karma for seagulls, too. As a kid I was spincasting, using a half a shrimp for bait- and a gull swooped on it and took my shrimp. But it got my hook, too. Playing a gull on a cheap spincasting outfit is very entertaining for onlookers. Only minor gull-damage, and it was VERY huffy while leaving.

Bored Panda reached out to the creator of I Am Starving AF to talk about the page, the memes and everything in between.
“When we started with @iamthirtyaf, we'd post about really anything that we found to be relatable/funny,” explained the creator of the page. “We ended up posting about food quite often, and when we noticed that food related content was a theme that kept popping up and was really connecting with our followers, we decided to give it its own page on @iamstarvingaf (we've also done the same with work related content on @iamemployedaf and mental health content on @iamokayaf).”

They continued: “[Food’s] such a broad category and can really have a connection to any part of life. Whether we were sticking with the nostalgic themes from @iamthirtyaf and talking about foods and snacks from our childhood, discontinued '90s foods, etc., or food related themes that we connect with as adults—trying to be responsible and save money by bringing a sandwich to the office for lunch but finding yourself having eaten the sandwich by 10am and still going out for lunch anyway, the relatability of making a healthy decision to buy ingredients for a nice salad at the store and getting home and deciding to order a delivery burrito instead—everyone seems to have something to say about food!”

It’s interesting to see how, despite our unique and personalized experience, the internet has a very strong collective conscience of sorts in terms of memes—how many people tend to relate to seemingly niche experiences. That’s what the creator of I Am Starving AF has noted in our interview:
“One thing I've noticed as I've gotten older is that the priority I give food has changed! If I had $100 for a night out in my 20s, I'd probably buy a dollar slice of pizza for dinner and spend the remaining $99 on cocktails. Now in my 30s, I'd probably spend all $100 on a really great meal and skip the drinks. I don't think I'm alone in that! Good food is, for me at least, something that makes my day better. When I've had a long day at work and feel stressed and overwhelmed, making a nice dinner is therapeutic and is something I look forward to all day. And this seems to be a theme that a lot of people connect with.”

Where do we get it? At any half-decent grocery store that doesn't only sell pre-packaged produce, that's where.
Matt Wilda 1 year ago
Not really. They won't let you buy half a head of lettuce, or half a bunch of celery, etc. That's my problem -- I buy a head of lettuce, eat some of it, then don't get to the rest of it before it starts rotting. But you can't buy anything smaller than an entire head.

What perishable item can't they buy in a small portion size? Fruit and veg you can buy just one if necessary. Milk you can buy by the pint and yoghurts come in single serving pots. Cheese will keep long enough to work through 250g, and you can buy things like sliced ham or salami in packs of four slices. What am I missing?

Load More Replies...They continued: “It's funny how many little opinions or experiences we have that we think are uniquely our own and then realize, through memes, that it's a shared experience with a lot of other people! Do you hate cooking with other people because you turn into an absolute monster when someone is in your way in the kitchen? Do you roll your eyes at the 5,000 word essay about a study abroad semester in Spain that you have to scroll through before getting to a new recipe? Do you buy a bag of mixed greens every time you go to the grocery store only for it to rot in the back of your refrigerator? Do you also agree that pineapple on pizza is not *that* bad, it's just a social media trend that everyone jumped on like hating Nickelback and the word "moist"? You're not alone! Memes are a fun way to start conversations through humor, and there are a lot of conversations to be had around the topic of food.”

Load More Replies...You’d be surprised how much social media platforms play a huge role in shaping food culture and trends through those very same relatable memes. The creator of the meme page explained that there was a time when Google was their go-to place for planning trips–especially ones that aim to experience the restaurant scene to the max. However, they soon came to the realization that many of the best spots recommended on Google are ads for places that want to draw in tourists. But this is where social media like Instagram solved this issue.
“One of my favorite parts of traveling is trying new foods and restaurants, and social media has helped connect people in planning out trips to find great food options that aren't overpriced tourist traps.”

They continued: “I'm currently planning a trip to Portugal and posted recently asking for food tips from locals and now have a full trip planned out from the replies. Instagram is now the first (and sometimes only!) place I go when planning a trip, it's such an incredible way to learn about different kinds of foods and plan out your trip based on recommendations from followers or content from other social media users. I have restaurants bookmarked in cities I've never been to/don't even have plans of visiting (yet!) all because of content I've seen on social media that has made me hungry.”

Lastly, we asked the lovely person behind the I Am Starving AF project what they hoped their audience would take away from the meme page–and you gotta admit that calling it a “fun food party” is definitely something we’d all love to be involved in. And hey, you’re invited!
“We don't go too deep on @iamstarvingaf. It's a fun food party that everyone is invited to where we can laugh about funny food observations, share food tips, and celebrate how great it is to live in a world with so many incredible foods to try. Instagram has a lot of people associating food with guilt, pushing diet culture and making people feel like eating food that tastes good is something they should feel bad about. We are unapologetically doing the exact opposite of that. Food is great, dig in, friends!”
