The Shopping Trolley

Sometimes, I bring it upon myself to introduce my foreign compadres to a little taste of Americana pop culture. The cheesier the better.

Last night my English colleagues were introduced to:

The Shopping Cart:
"A dance technique adopted by most white, male teenagers that requires very little rhythm and coordination. The shopping cart is peformed by placing one arm out in front of you, as if guiding an imaginary "cart," while with the other you branch out and clench a fist to any random area above your waist, as if "taking groceries off the shelf.""

Of course, before demonstrating this difficult dance move, I had to dub it - "The Shopping Trolley" to aid in understanding.

If you've never seen it - perhaps these guys on YouTube can help:


Last year, this move along with The Sprinkler and The Lawn Mower was busted out in front of some French friends and now they're all convinced that if you go to a club in America you'll see everyone doing these dances in unison like a scene in a 1990s teen movie.

And I ask you - What's wrong with that?!?

  1. Grocery shopping can be converted from fun into a daunting act when you have to carry the bags from the malls to the car. In case the car is a few miles away you should get ready for the walk. The bags are often uncomfortable and hard to carry. This is the reason that customers often request for a trolley.
    Unfortunately, due to some recent cases, the supermarkets do not allow to take the trolley to the car. It has made the matter worse. In this situation, your best shopping partner would be the CLAX TROLLEY. Here we have everything you need to know about this amazing invention.
