USA: The Land with at Least 50 Options

A Hilarious and Eye-Opening Tour of America's States, One Grocery Aisle at a Time

De: Robert Okine

Narrado por: Kevin Clay

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.

Jean Shepherd (A Christmas Story) Quality

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!
