Not saying you're wrong, just want to elaborate on it. I think it was a valid question as Henry John Heinz, the founder of the Heinz Company was born and raised in the US. His father emigrated from Germany to the US 4 years before he was born. Henry visited Germany a few times when he was already maybe 50 years old(?), probably from the end of the 19th century until WWI. It is a true US product. However, the high quality of it comes from his German background.

So funny, because I live in America and was like, “That’s a normal amount of bread options.. not even that many.” My grocery store in Maryland has more than that in the bakery area. Pretty similar to Germany. And of course if you go to a bakery that’s not in a grocery store, there are a lot more options. Dieser Typ kommt vielleicht aus einer Kleinstadt.

Working in such a store myself (actually, working for Kaufland, the grocery chain), just something for clarification. The hair salon, the bakery he showed, the flower shop or travel agency aren't part of the grocery store. They're just in the same building and are known as concessionaires, meaning they are stores that rent space in the building. Either Kaufland owns the building or someone else does. In the Kaufland building I work in, there's the grocery store itself, but also a hair salon, an optical store (where they sell glasses), a bakery, a butcher shop, a travel agency, a tobacco shop, a small shop that sells Spreewald specialties, a clothing store, a shoe store and an electronics store. Outside are several food vendors, Chinese, Kebab, Bratwust/chicken, on Wednesdays a Hot Dog vendor, and on Thursdays, a Fish food vendor as well as a field kitchen In the video, the guy seems to be shopping pretty late in the day because the bakery already has a lot of empty trays Also, a market like this isn't actually a grocery store, it's rather a hypermarket, because they don't just sell food stuff and other household stuff but also shoes, clothes, electronics etc

I remember the time, when Aldi (or so I think) introduced this "deposit" for the shopping carts. They claimed at that time, shopping carts often were stolen. Homeless pepople were called to be the culprit (that never was confirmed though). Because these things cost a fortune they thought of this solution. The result was, that the number of stolen carts dropped like a stone an is now well below the 1% mark (from around 25 to 30 %)

That bakery selection actually isn't that big by German standards. You usually got like 10 different types of bread rolls, even on Sundays, and that doesn't even included the different bread types. I'm pretty sure most Asians would assure you that our "Asian" food doesn't taste anything like what they'd actually serve. Asparagus is a staple in German spring cuisine, but I'd really recommend buying fresh one from one of those little huts (usually the same farmers that have the strawberries also got asparagus plants in their fields :3) Of course you can get Heinz ketchup here as well ^^' - That Hela Gewürzketchup is a bit more like a mix of regular ketchup with something like a barbecue sauce. There's a lot of different spices added to that tomato+sugar+vinegar base and it's usually a bit sweeter :) BTW, just read on another vid, that the American Aldi got frozen Pretzels to bake at home that tastes like real German ones. Oh, and there is 0,1% skimmed milk, you can get that at Kaufland and Edeka both ^^.

In Germany a Pinata is quite uncommon. Much more often you would have a Schnitzeljagd or Schatzsuche. A treasure hunt. Something that is quite similar to a pinata is Topfschlagen (pot hitting), where you would hide candy under a pot and put on a blindfold. You would hide the pot with the candy in the room, then spin around the kid and give them a big spoon. The kid is supposed to probe for the pot with the spoon and try to find it by feeling around. It is called Topfschlagen, because you would bang on the pot when you found it. Normally the other kids would scream hot or cold depending on if you are going in the right direction or not.

In Germany by law the final price must be obvious for the consumer -- all prices for goods and services targeting the "ordinary" consumer. For professional purposes, like B2B (business to business) the VAT (value added tax = MWSt, Mehrwertsteuer in German) may be omitted. It is also mandatory for most products to reference the price information to "proper" sizes like liter, kilogram (or sometimes 100 grams). You must be able to compare prizes of the 185 gram glass of a product, i.e. peanut butter, to the 205 g glass of peanut butter of a different or even the same producer. Generally, it is "what you see, is what you pay".

@Hellequin Maskharat actually they are correct. It is called invitatio ad offerendum. The invitation for a purchase. In general the price of the register is the correct one. The shop have to react and change the label imidiately otherwise they can be sued due to misleading advertising. But they don't have to sell anything to anyone. Both, the costumer and the company, have to agree the purchase. If the company refuse to sell a product underpriced and react to the wrong label, there is no chance for the costumer to force it because the labels are typically offers without engagement.

The reason you want your "plastic thing" back from the shopping cart is that the next time you go shopping - you can bet that you forgot to bring a new one from home. I.e. you always have your plastic thing (some are made so you can fasten them on your keychain) or a euro coin in your pocket for this very reason. (and in my experience those plastic things are not that common - so it is not like you have dozens of them laying about at home)

We have the same system for chopping carts in most stores in Finland and the incentive to bring back the cart when using those platic tokens is so that you will have it available to use again the next time, I have one of those on my keychain cause I barely ever have any coins on me so without one of those tokens, I'd not be able to get a cart

In Germany (and in my opinion in the whole EU) the prices shown always include the relevant taxes. You pay what the sign says. Exception: special wholesale chains such as METRO, which only sell to traders. VAT is added to the stated price. Heinz ketchup is also available in Germany. However, many Germans love Hela's spice ketchup (curry ketchup). The European chocolate tastes completely different than your American chocolate from Hershey. You should check out "Why Europeans Hate the Taste of American Chocolate - Cheddar Explains".

Just to clear things up...I actually used to shop in this exact place a few years ago...it's actually more of a mall type of set-up than just the super market. The actual supermarket starts at the entry sign of "Kaufland" inside the building. The other shops are renting space from the supermarket, as it owns the "Kaufhaus" which is a type of shopping mall. The idea is to attract more customers to each other, as they may enter because they need to get something from the grocery store and might stop by the bakery, or the other way around, they have an appointment to get their hair cut and decide to get their groceries while they're at it, instead of driving to a separate location to do so. - However, it is important to mention, that these stores called "Kaufland" only exist in a few locations in the West of germany, you'll find supermarkets like, "Penny", "Rewe", "Edeka", "Lidl", "Aldi", and "Netto" across Germany in more locations than "Kaufland".

The grocery chain "Kaufland" is usually located in shopping centers or malls, it's a big building where several stores are located as well, like shoe stores, flower stores, travel agencies, drugstores, a pharmacy, hairdresser, takeaways, and least one traditional bakery (except for ALDI there is nearly always a traditional bakery in the same building, if there is a supermarket/discounter). Discounters like ALDI, LIDL, PENNY, NETTO, and so on usually build their grocery stores in separate buildings. Tax is always included in prices in B2C. In B2B prices are net prices, you have to add the VAT. Vests are popular amongst only elderly people. Most times it is actually a jacket with sleeves you can zip off. But they HAVE to be beige. Indeed retired/older people almost only wear beige. There is a saying as soon as you cross a certain age limit your start to become beige yourself. 😀

Toast-Bread is no bread! Toast-Bread does not still hunger by it self! *Bread's* function is to *still hunger* as *mainfood* which _Toast-Bread_ can not fullfill. Invalid as bread. On top, Toast-Bread has no own crust. Crust delivers most of a breads taste, which is why Toast-Bread tastes bland, but a bit sweet. Sweet, bc Toast-Bread root is from *Milchbrot/ Milkbread.* Which is a *yeast pastry.* Toast-Bread is in true form a yeast pastry. No Bread. >> It only can _fake_ to be kind of a bread, by _toasting it,_ to create a fake crust, which *then* adds taste to it. Again, bread is a mainfood like rice, potatoe, nudle,.. *Function is to still hunger as main food, by it self.* ~> Toast-Bread can't be bread therefor with missing function for it. >> Which is why "Toast" needs to be added infront of "bread" bc it is no bread, but "bread-like" in connection of toasting it.

And there are several shops where you don't need a chip or a Euro, and people still bring back the cart. It's just... us. Yes, that's a mini mall. Regular super markets usually only have a bakery outlet in addition to the market itself. Yes, when he says Trader Joe's he means the USA. We don't have Trader Joe's here, only its parent company ALDI (which funnily enough has a store brand that's called Trader Joe's). All prices presented to the customer have to prices including taxes. It's the law. I guess HE is the son who lives overseas and is on visit at home in Germany. Yes, we have Heinz. Those magazines are bought by older women (Except Bravo, which I'm suprised to see is still in print). Many of them don't want to take an iPad or something along.

Plastic tokens for shopping carts: you need one every time you go shopping.

Otherwise, you can buy them. And they usually are a euro each at least.

High pasteurized milk lasts a long time, so it makes sence to sell it by the gallon. Low pasteurized milk on the other hand, only lasts for about a week, and it can't sit out of the fridge for too long before going bad. Because of this, it is better to sell it in litre containers. Why even buy low- pasteurized milk if it doesn't last? Because the pasteurization process destroys a lot of the natural nutrients in the milk.

That guy is a German living in the US, but currently visiting Germany. We don't have Trader Joe here, but he knows it from the US. Kaufland has large supermarkets with some smaller shops in the entrance area. It's actually more like a Wal-Mart than an ordinary supermarket, since they sell a lot of non-food items. The owner of Kaufland is the Schwarz group, which also owns the discount supermarket chain LIDL. Shopping at Kaufland always takes some time because the shop is so large and you have to walk a long way to the most needed products. They like you to walk by all the other stuff, because you might see something and buy spontaneously.

For a supermarket to have small rooms with travel offices, a printer repair shop, nail studios, hairdressers, etc. is, at least where i live, highly unusual.

Also, most of the "coin shaped thing for shopping cart" items I've seen are keyrings or designed to be carried in one. Can't start the car or enter your house without the keys. Many supermarkets in Spain which used to require coins now don't; they've seen that people are equally likely to bring the carts back without that, and so many of us pay with cards or the phone that having to remember to bring a coin is just a PITA.

We do have a Kaufland as well nowadays. It opened earlier that year. Prior brand names that were in that place were in descend order: real,-, Walmart, Wertkauf, Kaufpark. You still hear people referring this place as Wertkauf or even Kaufpark even these days.

14:57 he didn't describe what they look like, he quoted an ad for a candy called 'Dickmann'. On tv it always said "Mann, sind die Dickmann." which roughly translates into "Man, are those huge-man." So it was just a nice little german reference when we comment on something overly large. Not that common nowadays but i think everyone still knows that slogan. :) Also at 16:32 you say that 'Schönheit' seems like a long word for beauty. While our word for beautiful is just 'schön'. :D

Regarding the Asian food: I live in Düsseldorf and we have a really big Asian community and a lot of very good an authentic Restaurants. So if you ever travel to Germany stop in Düsseldorf, it‘s a beautiful example of different cultures meeting. Because very close to the japanease part of the town is a big arab&turkish community. So you get a lot of amazing food. I really enjoy you content, it gives a new perspective on the mondaine aspects of daily life, so thank you ❤️

Today, Heinz Ketchup is the most successful ketchup brand in Europe. Until mid-2014, the ketchup was made in Seesen in the Harz Mountains. Food manufacturers from Düsseldorf are Heinz (sauces), Lea & Perrins (sauces) and HP Barbecue Sauce (barbecue sauce).

Every price tag in Germany shows exactly what you are paying for that item. Taxes are already included. For beverages, deposits may be added to bottles later at the register, but get these back when returning empties.

So funny what he did with the Shoppingcar, I didn’t know that the wheels are frozen in the USA. For a german person as myself it’s such a common thing and for you it’s so special. So funny 😂😂

The fact that that dude from the video is in the EXACT same supermarket that I go to with my family is insane. Even saw him in a neighbouring city and was so confused to see him online later

Hey, this is from my city 😅 Krefeld. Best to germaninvenice. Fun to see that you see the stores where my wife and I are shopping. Its Kaufland before it was a Real store. Additionally there are small shops and foodstores. Tax is always included. Would like to meet germaninvenice here. Could be someday

The shops shown here have nothing to do with Kaufland. It's just a marketing strategy: "All you have to do is shop here. And you'll get everything you need!" The small shops are independent and pay rent to the owner of the building. Kaufland is also only a tenant.
