If there's really 100,000 products on display, I could see myself spending at least a week there. This stuff is my crack cocaine.

If I have a spare hour or two this weekend I will stop in and take some pics for you. I live less than a 20 minute drive away.

Any household goods or foodstuffs of particular interest?

I'm mostly curious in American household items that feel familiar but are bizarre- the toaster eggs thing is amazing to me, I wonder if there's some marketing angle that could have been made that would have made toaster eggs a mainstay staple.

You also reminded me that I once had waffle batter in an aerosol can shipped up to Alaska because I thought it would be the coolest christmas gift in the world for my dad, and he was thoroughly unimpressed. So yeah, stuff like that.
