00:00that's right guys we're at walmart one of the most iconic brands that even people in italy
00:05have heard of right yes so now we're gonna examine walmart yes it's gonna be like lesio's
00:11experience when he first stepped foot inside these sacred halls all the secrets
00:17it's huge right oh yeah but you know what is the funny thing if there's a person right here
00:30they're gonna tell us welcome to walmart you see and bye to walmart so in europe we keep in europe
00:39we don't have that much money to hire somebody to say hey welcome to walmart and it's just their
00:45only job is to greet and say bye yeah so i remember when you first stepped in walmart you thought that
00:51was the craziest thing you've ever seen that somebody was like hello i learned from the
00:55simpsons really the simpsons they show all the time like this i didn't know i don't watch the
01:01simpsons well uh this is a great thing point time's up for america for this because increase
01:08giving jobs to people you know it's important what they should do is hire two one to say goodbye and
01:15one to say hello
01:24fresh what do you feel i wanted to uh grocery store in walmart you came here to buy grocery
01:31store very rarely and i never bought produce here i don't know if it's good or bad i really have
01:37don't know i've never given it a shot i mean i'm surprised because it's really stocked like
01:42our grocery store never has this much stuff so here it's more cheap
01:47respect other places like uh whole foods or other things but
01:54i don't know if i'm gonna buy a zucchino like this kind of looks yellow but i don't know
01:58why a wrap you know i remember when your italian friends came to the u.s to visit one time they
02:07weren't with us they were in a different state at the time but didn't they tell you they went
02:10to walmart every single day to buy something to eat because they weren't sure the chicken
02:16where to go where to go yeah it is other places italian people uh i don't come here to go grocery
02:22but you know in italy too you have big malls with the grocery but it's different it's not
02:27inside the grocery it is by side yeah it doesn't appear to be
02:33a very good quality situation here yeah
02:44maybe you need to start hiring more people looking for the food that's gone bad
02:55so i gotta try i'm gonna buy the parmesan because a lot of american people thinking
03:02it is parmigiano-reggiano totally wrong it's totally different cheese it is totally
03:08made different cheese like the thing is i get why they do because we don't really see a lot
03:13of parmigiano-reggiano here so unless you've heard of it and you've seen the name and know
03:18the difference there's no way people are gonna know so they see parmesan and they think oh that's
03:23good so it sounds like parmigiano-reggiano it's like in english i think they did it on purpose
03:28i think no oh maybe yes i don't know because isn't parmigiano-reggiano the one that's
03:34controlled yeah so parmesan is probably like oh let's do a similar name so people confuse yeah
03:44it looks great huh why is it brown oh because it's gone no no that's for october 2025 october
03:56yes i was thinking february like italians this is a common problem we have because in europe they
04:01switch the numbers for the months and the dates so let's see how i think the dates are bad yeah
04:09you thought it was february 10th i was thinking february 10th yeah
04:15oh no never mind
04:16it's the american daily american daily do like this
04:29like what do you mean they come here to buy like when you buy prosciutto
04:33turkey oh the deli the deli okay you said daily okay the american daily american deli yeah
04:42and so you ask for how many slices or how many pounds you want of this meat
04:46yeah pizza oh wow so ten dollars for uh a large pizza
04:56not the price good price good price but nothing can come in to me like oh i need to buy it are
05:02you sure you don't want the savory breakfast biscuit crust pizza that's not jumping out to you
05:09no no are you sure yeah sure this is american planet so italian bread is this one wow one
05:19dollar this is a great deal says it's baked in the store daily yeah this is great deal for
05:28i never see something in america cost like a dollar so right because in italy that's what
05:34the pricing for the bread is right 55 cents 52 cents for but uh depend how much you how much
05:42bread you buy but yeah this is what usually typical americans buy for eating like hot
05:49hot bread like this you know french rolls this is what you look like the bakery section is giant
05:59look at all that triage
06:04right you're doing oh yeah for like breakfast toasts yeah american people eating like this
06:10i think one thing that europeans would find shocking about walmart is that it definitely
06:15has the stereotype that the united states has where it's huge and there's a lot of everything
06:22yeah yeah like so many rolls so many cookies so many options everything you have bakies everything
06:29this is just the grocery section guys yeah okay sorry but we have to talk about the pistachio
06:36color here because this is like that same artificial green that they try and do in the
06:41gelato in italy for the pistachio gelato and that is not real pistachio it should not look like that
06:46no pistachio coloring is more brownie not not baby right great so yeah
06:54in the meat section you can buy a big meat you know look at this like 2.25 pounds how much cost
07:03of 11 11 right yeah and but what is surprised me america all the time
07:11oh my lord this is meat guys but can you see how how they packaging wow like i don't know
07:23that that's crazy i guess you would buy that and freeze it or if you're having a party you
07:27would have that much i mean we need to say something in walmart you find a big big stuff
07:33because not everybody in united states that have grocery store close by that's true so when they
07:40need to come here to buy they buy big bags quantity that will last but to me what surprised
07:47me how the packaging instead to have a package like this that my brain can understand understand
07:55this it looks like a tube it's a big tube you still do so so that is what shocked me i mean
08:04that is a shocking uh yeah container shocking presentation yeah really shocking right wow
08:15what is that beef brisket oh my gosh wow i mean
08:24that's it's amazing how people can come here do a party and find this large quantities
08:31so they can cooking you know i mean that's insane i don't think i've ever seen a giant
08:35brisket like that for sale in a grocery store yeah me either amazing
08:41i don't think it's almost a hundred dollars hundred dollars 85
08:48wow maybe it's cheap i probably is for that much yeah one thing america is good is in marketing so
08:57if you want to buy at this jar the mayonnaise you know it's eight dollars a small like this
09:04is six so what are you gonna do makes more sense to buy the big one but then you're not gonna use
09:11all and you're gonna toss it i mean if you're not a big family right i just say if first two people
09:18you're gonna spend that extra dollar or have that big one or what well i hate i hate mayonnaise so
09:26i'm not buying on ketchup it's the same thing with any single product i always buy the small ones
09:35always doesn't matter if it costs a little bit more but let me know guys do you buy the big one
09:41or the small one just for know what is you're gonna use it for
09:49so in america guys nutella cost ten dollars oh lord i feel like that's more expensive than i
09:55remember it was uh nine eight dollars eight something no eight no nine like 8 90 something
10:02like nine dollars could be it go up the price wow but the one ticket they don't have here is
10:08nutella in glass they're all in plastic yeah i remember we did a short video about that and
10:14everybody from europe was shocked that they we sell nutella in plastic jar yeah because in europe
10:20it's like always in glass and then we have our names in italy like alessio jessica so you worth
10:26marketing that too but if you if you like me i was going with pinabara if i see it
10:35something somehow oh it's right there
10:40i love peanut butter i like organic stuff maybe i was going to
10:47i like how you say peanut butter i say peanut butter but you say peanut butter
10:53peanut butter peanut butter we are in the bread section so it is busy
11:10it's really really hard to find coffee real coffee
11:13so americans love this instant coffee dunkin for folders folders folders
11:23and
11:28i'm surprised we do not have flavazza yeah i'm actually surprised here they have every
11:33single store that flavazza at least uh qualità rossa no they have something i'm surprised
11:44when it was a little what was your coffee um i think my parents got folders folders but they
11:50would do it instant so get this so sometimes i would make coffee for my dad i put a cup of
11:56like a mug of water in the microwave yeah two minutes then take the powder and stir it in
12:01and then it makes the coffee oh nice i remember doing like the nesquik that would horrify you
12:08no no no like nesquik yeah yeah i think we have something like that in italy too
12:14like something like that instant latte i bet it has like uh powdered milk inside so it's
12:22automatically a latte i actually think this sounds good and these are your favorite snacks they used
12:30to be and you ruined it because you now i taste the chemicals yes you taste the chemicals huh this
12:38was my go-to guys this is my favorite one and now zero never again never again
12:46one thing positive in america it is you have international aisle but because you have a lot
12:52of people coming in the united states you know you have multiple cultures so because you have
12:58multiple cultures you have multiple food in the in the shelves you have the korean japanese you
13:05can find everything in italy i don't remember to find an international aisle where you can find
13:11mexican i've looked at zero right it was just italian so because italians eating italian so
13:18that is a negative thing and uh yeah bring some spiciness right in there guys yeah well it is
13:27because you have multicultural so this is positive for america because you can eat whatever you want
13:35like we said
13:40that's really i need that like we said a lot of people in united states they don't have opportunity
13:46to go grocery all the time and so they need to go by driving maybe 30 minutes that they're
13:51gonna buy in book so that's why in walmart you find the big things i think it's not a bad thing
13:56even companies i guess i'm not sure but even companies right yeah i guess so yeah so that
14:02is another plus having big options because like like we said if we are in an italian grocery store
14:09i noticed even buying flour for baking and stuff making bread the bags are tiny like the bags of
14:17flour are this big yes but you need to think about italy every little small town have the grocery
14:24store small grocery store here no it's not working like that yeah it is all big if you are not big
14:32you are not american we arrived to the past style well we know this is good lasagna we always buy
14:40this good lasagna the color is ivory rather than yellow yellow yeah you don't want yellow guys
14:48i don't even go close here like this i know i know
14:52now for pasta snubs sorry no so when do you remember so it has to do with so when in the
15:02beginning the hard relationship when we can afford that much we were going to still going to buy a
15:09good quality pasta because we eating 80 grams per per thing so in one box it is divided by four but
15:17um for eating a big family i don't know we'll see that's the thing i need to describe that so for
15:23example in one box is 454 grams so the correct portion like lester said is 80 grams per person
15:31so it would last us longer even if we bought a little bit more expensive box for what you're
15:36trying to say yeah for two people it is but if you have a family of four or more it's tricky
15:41yeah it's tricky don't you think i'm shocked in america it is when you buy a pasta you know
15:47in italy you find even a good price pasta you know a good high quality like with pasta a long
15:54time ago was cost 52 cents per per package yeah yeah so here uh with two dollars you don't find a
16:04good pasta that is what is that's true because you don't have to spend very much in italy to
16:08get a good quality but here the good quality pasta is like eight or ten dollars a bag i mean
16:13no need to be made in italy you can use your brain and do your pasta you know but just dry
16:18it properly properly and do you can do it but maybe it's not business wise i don't know good question
16:25okay this ragazzi
16:35don't buy this because this is not cheese it is wood wood wood wood so this is a big no
16:45actually all this is a big no even down below you is a big no oh my goodness that is a huge big no
16:56look amore chef boyardee yes your favorite yeah
17:04oh wow chento hey they have a lot of chento
17:12i wish they had smoothies you know this i never tried it looks like it's good it's in a nice box
17:25a nice colorful
17:31in italy your biggest aisle is for pasta here in the u.s our biggest aisle is for cereal
17:38all this
17:47look how many different kinds different flavors different brands keeps going it keeps going
17:56keeps going any type of cereal you could dream up
18:02yeah you go crazy so what i would buy here honestly it is no one no one of this i would buy
18:12this oil one thing is totally different it is the beverage between europe and america so here
18:21when you buy it you need to buy all the whole package all the package in italy you can broken
18:29you can broken up like this and take one bar and then pay but in america they already
18:36storage for you if you want to want yeah all big all big so psa to europeans if you're ever
18:44shopping in the u.s don't come here and break open the bag the bag because i think it's even
18:50like that in europe other european countries other european countries i don't know if i have
18:54everybody so for example they'd come here and be like oh let me grab us some pellegrino
19:00no we destroy the package like and we take it like this perfect example we pick it and they
19:08sell it individually i feel like that one's been because somebody drank it yeah goodness so when
19:14you first came to walmart and bought and you saw the grocery section what was your initial
19:18impression i was so amazed how big it is i take so much video sent to my mom because she's american
19:23i know she was missing this stuff in italy we have big stuff like this too here's for the
19:28surprises all right in my beginning adventure in america this is what i was buying all the time
19:34now i go in this direction with a cardboard or whatever so yeah instead of the plastic
19:39maybe instead of plastic but most americans they drink milk for dinner too oh yeah like they love
19:46here the milk like i never see so so much people drinking milk so you have to in this direction
19:54yeah that was a big shock for you how much milk people drink here so much so in america the eggs
20:00it is only in the refrigerator because the conservation in different way the europe
20:04europe it is upside you know without refrigeration america have refrigeration because they clean
20:11the egg in america so they need to refrigeration
20:14in europe they don't clean the egg so it need to be a temperature
20:24i want to just show a price for the italians
20:30pasteurized it is 7 11 here is the cheapest if you're going somewhere else they discuss you
20:41eleven dollars or ten dollars this brand
20:46one thing walmart is known for is the huge variety of products yeah so you can buy baby stuff
20:55and you've got so many options so many
21:02you can buy silk flowers you know i don't think i've seen anything like that in italy
21:08i don't remember no big like this no you can't buy stuff like that i don't remember
21:16so you can buy crafts you can buy silk flowers like huge stuff
21:24one thing positive it is you can buy everything like for any project that you want it is in one
