There is a new Supermarket in Vancouver that tries to use all of your senses when you shop.

It has an automatic water administer to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and smell of fresh rain.

When you approach the milk case, your hear cows mooing and witness the scent of fresh hay.

When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying.

The veggie and fruit department features the smell of fresh buttered corn and hot apple pie.

I do not buy toilet paper there any more….:yks

You are such a nut!

One of our groceries (Kroger) did that for a while. They've taken all the "hollywood" stuff out now.

Hmmm, new concept for "far out" drugs, just make the place a little dark, add strobe lighting....I couldn't imagine the line-ups....they'd make a killing.

I think I'd check it out for the experience, but I don't think it'd be my thing. I don't need to be entertained at the market...it all smacks of manipulation.

I expect truth in advertising. I want to hear farm machinery in the produce section and perhaps the sounds of migrant workers. I should smell blood in the meat department and the floor should be a little slippery. I think we can all agree that the toiletries isle is better experienced than described.

Please no more emails asking where to find the store...there isn't one...but have you checked out the Rainforest Cafe? It's a restaurant that has a rainforest theme, it's really cool...and yes, this one is REAL. http://www.rainforestcafe.com/

Actually, I didn't, you had me completely fooled. :nu

But seriously, is it all that difficult to believe that it wouldn't be tried? I was at a conference in lovely Reno and we went to a restaurant very much like the Rainforest Cafe. I think all of the external stimulus is supposed to distract you from the low quality fare.

No, I wasn't kidding! They really did this here! It was Kroger.

They even had a big pirate over the seafood section. It was kind of silly, but somewhat entertaining. The really cool one was a big fake tree in the pet section.

And yeah, Rainforest is WAY cool.
