Piggly Wiggly Super Duper Supermarket Day
This is a 1996 sing-along VHS tape created by regional grocery store chain, Piggly Wiggly's "Piggly Pals Studio." A teacher starts things out by attempting to educate a bunch of 10-year-old preschoolers about nutrition. While, at first, this seems strange, their inclusion in the remedial class is soon justified by asinine responses to their teacher's simple, food-oriented question. None of the kids can properly identify even a single food group, but responses like "bubble gum" and "pickles" serve to illustrate that the two boys are a few steps behind either of their female classmates. Fortunately, the interaction garners the attention of "Inspector Quigley" and a giant grocery store mascot pig. The pair are bound and determined to tackle the seemingly insurmountable task of teaching the feeble kids their food groups.
