Take it away Jaws...


I broke down Dan Smith’s latest trip to the grocery store and I liked what I saw. You can see that the aisles are in a dairy, poultry, cereal formation, with one shopper clearly blocking the cereal aisle. Upon noticing that the cereal aisle is blocked Dan is able to adjust to the pre-Corn Pops distraction. Dan turns his cart to the side and performs a maneuver known as the shopping cart boogie. Notice how his shoulders stay parallel to the soda display, a clear indicator that Dan is comfortable improvising. This drives the grocery store employees nuts and they scramble to maintain aisle containment. Dan is able to react to the employees who are only able to contain the cake counter and fish counter, and unfortunately for them it’s already too late. Dan is wrist deep in eggbeaters, and making sure that no one will lay a finger on his Butterfingers. A balanced attack and the ability to make good decisions on the fly is what makes Dan Smith dangerous in the Shopping Cart game.
