While shopping the produce aisle of Publix, I noticed something peculiar.  “Shoppers talk to food.” Do you engaged in what seems like lively talk with your fruits and veggies.

According to a recent study I stumbled upon, a whopping 87% of shoppers confessed to chatting with their groceries!

“Hey Banana, are you ripe yet?” “What’s the math on this BOGO deal?” “Which one of you is gluten-free?” “Is this salsa really as zesty as it claims?”

Dodging carts, navigating around kids on sugar highs, and encountering the guy who insists on carrying a hundred items in his arms instead of getting a cart.

So, the next time you find yourself on a grocery run, take a moment to notice the little things. Strike up a conversation with the avocado to gauge its freshness.

You never know, your groceries might just have something enlightening to share!
