I'm probably going to be doing the first challenge either tomorrow or Tuesday, so it's not too late to get suggestions in for that, but I've already started narrowing down the list of items that I'll try to find.

Probably outShow

• A single onion (Any generic produce item is easy to find)
  
• Manager's car keys (Sadly this isn't food, nor am I in Jak and DaxterNaruto and Pikachu)
  
• All the Kinder Surprise stuff (I know exactly where these are. Except for the legal one, but I can't head out of the country at the moment)
  
• Kimchi (I know where the kimchi is, and it looks like it doesn't ever really expire, and even if it did, it couldn't be sold)
  
• Evil food (Can food ever really be evil? I don't think this can be covered in only thirty minutes)
  
• Sega Genesis (This isn't food)
  
• Not Pockets (The name brand version doesn't exist, the generic version is ridiculously easy to find)
  
• True Love (Unless this is true...)
  
• Overwatch Body Pillow (BAD A52)
  
• Pickled eyeballs (Eww...)
  
• Pickles outside of a jar in the produce section (Yep. They have loose pickles. The garlic ones are delicious. Heck, if I find enough of the stuff, I might buy myself one of these to celebrate)
  
• Exceptional tallow roast (They don't have hot food, sadly)

Anything not listed in here is still possible for the first attempt, but even if it's not used then, were I to do this again, they'd still be up for consideration. But as I said before, the list is by no means finalised at this moment, so keep suggesting wonderful (or horrible) foods for me to try and find.

• An everything bagel that has some of every topping from every other bagel type sold
  
• A scoobydoo sized sandwich
  
• Candy with Halloween advertising (like the black and orange smarties)
  

lawn darts

I'm pretty sure that kimchi counts as evil food.

gummy chilli peppers
ostrich eggs
frozen, prefried octopus

a chirimoya

super dickmann's dicke eier

dragon fruit
cactus pear
ackee
star fruit
coconut

exactly 3.17 pounds (or your country's equivalent) in ground beef

gluten-free whole-wheat bread

a pie costing exactly $3.14 or your country's equivalent.

something individually packaged that probably shouldn't be, like one grain of rice, or one twix instead of two

anything with "barcode art"

something that has the ingredients listed but its only one ingredient

a bottle pack (water bottle, 6pack) but it has different bottles

Rum cakes

Freeze-dried Neapolitan Icecream (bars)

6 pack of energy drinks where each one could kill a man

two labeled products that are anagrams (not identical) of each other

python dist. under 1 gb

A bunch of old signatures from Bionicle forums that were popular in the late 2000's.

EDIT: let me try that again uhhhh

raw bear meat

rabbit's leg

a cookbook/coloring book COMBO!!

deep fried coffee beans

your cousin who disappeared 7 years ago and has been living in the back corridor, eating peanuts the entire time

peanuts

i like this thread so im bringing it back

sugar free gummi bears

k-cups that are just regular coffee flavor

spice packets

You know, I actually went out about a month ago and did the first run, I should finally get around to writing up about the experience. Anything after the 3.17 pounds of meat was sadly not up for consideration for this run, as I already had my list.

Bees

SpoilerShow

Ha ha ha, very funny.

Cactus Pear

SpoilerShow

Right with all the other produce, not that hard to find.

Expensive water (as defined by being >$4.99)

SpoilerShow

OVER SEVEN DOLLARS? And for some reason, they were completely sold out.

Food with exactly 1 Calorie

SpoilerShow

A quick search after the fact shows that Pepsi One was discontinued over two years ago. And I spent like four minutes searching for it.

Gluten-free pita

SpoilerShow

There were like seventeen-billion pitas. I spent five minutes trying to see if any of them specifically said 'gluten-free' before just cutting my losses with any pita whatsoever.

Meyer Lemons

SpoilerShow

Apparently this store sells them, but it could just be at the other location. Oh well.

Monosodium glutamate

SpoilerShow

Let's be honest, WHAT WAS I THINKING INCLUDING THIS IN MY LIST???

Peanut butter and jelly in the same jar

SpoilerShow

They also had it with grape jelly.

Pickled Eggs

SpoilerShow

I didn't get around to searching for this until I had three minutes remaining. I'm fairly certain that they are somewhere, it's just I had no clue where to begin and no time to do it.

Santa

SpoilerShow

Just over a minute in, I find a cannister of biscuits with his face on it.

Tzatziki sauce

SpoilerShow

Well, I didn't find it exactly, but this make-your-own gyros kit has it, so it has to be in here, no?

Utz cheese balls

SpoilerShow

I live in the midwest. Of course there's going to be Utz cheese balls here.

FINAL SCORE:

SpoilerShow

6.5/12

What I learned from this:
I need better time management, and I need to NOT PICK FOODS THAT WOULD NEVER SHOW UP.

Also, I did a test run with items which I knew where they were, just to see if it would work.

SpoilerShow

Kimchi

Kinder Surprise Eggs

Not Pockets^TM (aka Bread)

Individual pickles in the produce section

It took me four minutes to find all these. And that's why they weren't in the actual search.

So, with all that, guess who's probably going to do this again with items that I either didn't get around to including the first time, were offered up after I did it, or if I KNOW IT'S THERE AND I SWEAR I'M GOING TO FIND THOSE PICKLED EGGS IF IT KILLS ME.

Bonus round: Double your total points by purchasing the strangest energy drink for sale, sampling it, and describing your experience in the

ENERGY DRINKS THREAD

the challenge was not to find utz cheez balls, it was to find a SMALL container of utz cheez balls, like 16 oz
