  • In this video I'll show you what food you can find in grocery stores in Uzbekistan and how much it costs. I visited a supermarket in Tashkent and there were many things imported from Russia and therefore they looked familiar to me, but also there were some things that I found very unusual!

    Fun Fact: The reason pepsi was everywhere is because they were the only western brand to invest in Soviet Countries during the 80s. Others did try to work there way in - only PEPSI actually invested in building Soviet owned manufacturing plants and bottling.

      Fun fact: PepsiCo traded Pepsi to USSR for warships (which they sold). For a brief time in the late 80s, Pepsi had a Navy larger than most countries (17 subs plus surface ships).

      Lawrence, I too do the grocery shopping and has always done that because my better half worked late shifts at a newspaper. I used to bring the kids along too and when they got a bit older they knew what we needed and fetched everything to the trolley. At the same time they learned what to watch for when buying vegetables and meat. Plus I never have a list, I have everything in the head and adjust to what the store might have extra, like fresh fish and so on. Both my kids also learned to cook and are really good at it so no readymade and processed food, just real homemade food. Btw, I live in Sweden. 🇸🇪

      It's a joke Brother, don't take it to heart. If you go to the South of my country ALL pools have these big letters in the bottom saying "DON'T BREATHE". Speaking of bottoms, do you know what it says in the bottom of bottles sold in the South of my country? "Open the other side". Everyone makes fun of everyone else. It's just honest fun, we love you guys anyway. Besides, we have rules about toys in food products too, we just set age limits for them. Kinder eggs are +3 years only I believe. Mostly, we just don't have the "If you don't treat me like a complete moron I'll SUE you" culture here. People over a certain age are expected to KNOW Starbucks coffee cups contain the hot beverages they ordered without being told. It's all good. By the way, we also have the "American style" Kinder eggs here...egg shaped plastic container, toy on one half of the container, some sort of chocolaty paste on the other half that you eat with a spoon provided, they taste gritty like powdered milk...yuck

    Speaking of Soviet Koreans. In my neighborhood here in NYC, there is a supermarket run by a family of them. You see them and think they are Koreans, but then hear them speaking in Russian. Anyway, the owner once told me the story about the transfer by Stalin, so I am familiar with this. Also, one of the long time employees at the store is an Uzbek woman. I think I am the only person in the neighborhood that knows this story. As for trips to supermarkets from other countries, I like to see them. I am always interested in what domestic products are availabel, but also in how American corporations have expanded their tentacles seemingly everywhere. Take care.

I also feel that the chocolate is different but I'm going on memory from may last trip to the UK.

      I wondered at one time why there was a hole in the middle of the Lifesaver(R) hard candy. I thought that it was there so that I could blow my breath through it like a whistle and it made a nice loud sound. That, of course, wasn't why the hole was there ! 😂 I also thought that it was for emulating a life buoy.
      It's for saving the lives of the people who may catch the hard candy in their throat and choke. The hole allows air to pass through so the so-called "dunce" doesn't choke and suffocate to death. Lifesavers were an apt name for that hard candy.

    I love KimChi. It's fairly expensive in the US - about $4.50 to $6.00 for a 14 to 18 oz jar (400-450 grams). I could eat that whole jar in one sitting. I prefer the more Americanized versions that go light on the fish paste. You can get it cheaper at the Asian grocery stores and in larger quantities, but they always go really heavy on the fish paste, which I'm not a fan of.

    Hi Natasha. Yet another great social commentary video. On my travels over the years, I have shopped in supermarkets in 14 different countries. It is always fascinating to see the differences in the prices of both standard and more specialised items from country to country. Of all the items that you highlighted that are available here in Australia, only the non dairy milk was more expensive. Some items are much cheaper (i.e. the Pepsi is $3 Australian, about $2 US compared to the 80 cents).

      @@Rennrogue About 2 weeks ago, I was able to get two cartons for 95 cents apiece at ALDI. That's the first time in the past 2 years that they've been under a dollar. About 2 years ago, I remember getting them for $1.05 a dozen at ALDI. Then they just kept getting more and more expensive until they were going for about 4 bucks per dozen. At that point, I just cut my consumption in half. Instead of having my usual 2 egg ham and cheddar cheese omelet each morning, I'd just have 1 egg over easy with 2 pieces of buttered toast. I live in Missouri--farm country, so that might explain why they're so much cheaper than they are where you live. You have my sympathy. I hope the price starts dropping where you live until you're paying the same amount as me.

    Some items were more expensive than in the Upper Midwestern USA while other products, especially the local ones, were really inexpensive. 5.5 pounds of potatoes or 2.5 kg would make you feel like you were stealing them in one of our local markets. Kinder chocolate eggs are sold here but they are toyless. The sausages would be considered extremely expensive here. It appeared that the market in the video had more freeze dried food and many uniquely packaged prepared foods that we would buy the items separately and then put together at home such as the dumplings and meat. Usually, you would need to make your own dumplings in this part of the USA. Canned pickled items are uncommon here but my wife makes and cans our own from our garden that we grow because she found out that I grew up on homemade canned and pickled vegetables. ( including pickled tomatoes, try them they are really good) I bought her a freeze dryer because she doesn't like to stand as long as canning requires. ( I used to come home to help my mother can as she got older and it required long hours on your feet) Lately, we occasionally make our meat and dumplings or similar and then freeze dry the mixture which preserves it for about 20 years in a heavy plastic bag. ( you can store it at room temperature on a closet shelf) You have to add water to re-hydrate freeze dried products and then heat it on a stove or in a microwave. Now that I think of it such products could make a great group of grocery store products. It might even be better than the mooing cow dispenser.

My dad used to tell me how cheap everything was back then. Looking at the prices of the super market I am realizing that it really isn’t as cheap as I thought it would be. Definitely does not resonate the prices my dad used to tell me about. And I also have a feeling that such trendy looking supermarket didn’t exist back then.
