About this listen

Ever stood frozen in a grocery aisle, paralyzed by 37 types of orange juice or milk options that require a PhD to decode? Welcome to America—the land of freedom, fries, and fifty wildly different grocery store experiences.

In this delightfully quirky road trip, Robert Okine trades tourist traps for frozen food sections and souvenir shops for snack aisles. With the eyes of a global nomad and the wit of your favorite stand-up comic, he journeys state by state—from California’s kale sanctuaries to Texas’ brisket emporiums, from Vermont’s maple-syrup serenity to Florida’s hot mess of sunshine and Spam.

Forget Michelin stars—this is a love letter to the humble grocery store, where culture, identity, and chaos collide under fluorescent lights. It’s anthropology with a shopping cart, humor with heart, and America like you’ve never seen it: through the absurd abundance of almond milks, the regional pride of ranch dressings, and the soulful confessions of hot bars and deli counters.

Whether you're a curious traveler, a cultural junkie, or just someone who’s ever yelled “WHY are there eight kinds of frozen waffles?”—this book is for you.

Grab your reusable bags, buckle your snack belt, and prepare to laugh, nod, and crave a cheese curd you’ve never tasted.

Because in the U.S.A., one thing’s for sure: you’ll always have options.

This is so well done. It's fun, it's funny, and it's fast--like a quick trip to 50 states in just over an hour. Wow! As my headline says, the story could have been written by Jean Shepherd himself, with all the local detail, and an occasional line as good as "You'll shoot your eye out, kid!" Robert Okine did a masterful job of crafting this gem, and Kevin Clay's narration was just sensational.

This is a perfect gift for foodies or anyone with a family, as Robert tells a story of America by looking in the grocery shopping carts of all 50 states. Every state has at least one chuckle, and some have belly laughs.

I wish I had written it. I wish I had narrated it. It was that good, and I enjoyed it immensely. Great job, Robert and Kevin!

This was my first experience with this author's work, and I was surprised by how amusing I thought the document was. Although I've experienced going into a store and being confronted with a confusing and varied array of the same types of foods and drinks, it never occurred to me to actually think about just how extensive America's choices were. I appreciated this thought-provoking dissertation, and I enjoyed it a lot. I was amazed at Kevin Clay's narration as his performance kept my attention and was entertaining. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

The witty nature of Robert's writing, combined with the narration and vivid imagery, made this an adventurous listening experience. I feel as though I've traveled to all fifty states, though there were moments that left me with unexpected cravings.

This audiobook prompted me to reflect on deeper questions: Why do we do the things we do? What drives the choices we make? How much of our daily living is truly authentic?

I've even started a little mental game while shopping—guessing cart owners' states or personas. It's a surprisingly enjoyable way to get through everyday errands.

Witty, funny, adventurous and reflective piece
