Supermarket Sweep!

My friend Jess Murray joins me as we historically analyze the game show Supermarket Sweep! The conclusion we come to is fairly obvious, but also super important in larger context, this show accentuates consumerism culture in America. Check out an episode from the 60's and from the 90's, it is a very entertaining show to watch! 1967: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se4syko6Law [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se4syko6Law] 1994: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmbot1p0Eb0
