Shadowing Practice: I Bought Every ABANDONED FOOD Product! - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
Every day, shoppers pick up food products, push them around the store, and for whatever reason, change their minds.
2
Cookies end up in the toy aisle, a box of pasta gets left next to the shampoos, and once you start noticing it, abandoned food is everywhere.
3
So it got me thinking, if I collected all the groceries that everyone left behind, what kind of meals could accidentally come together?
4
So today, I'm hunting down abandoned food products to see what I can cook with.
5
And thanks to HopeScope for this amazing inspiration.
6
Starting with Target, where you can find food, toys, and everything in between.
7
Okay, let's grab a cart because you don't know how many goodies I'll be able to find here.
8
And as I'm walking in, everything looks suspiciously organized.
9
I think I found my first abandoned product.
10
You wouldn't actually notice it at first because both things are orange, but I spy my little eyes.
11
Some M&Ms on top of these Maruchan ramen.
12
And already we found our first abandoned item.
13
That was easier than I thought.
14
Okay, I think we just found another item.
15
Wait, why does this feel cold?
16
And what is it doing in the women's section?
17
Did mom decide that she needed a dress more than soup for her kids?
18
But I think now would be a really good time to introduce the rules for this challenge.
19
Rule number one, it can't be from the frozen or refrigerated aisle for safety reasons.
20
Rule number two, the food package cannot be open.
21
And rule number three, it can't be found in the aisle that it belongs to.
22
So with that said, I'm gonna go put this back
23
and let's see what other fun food products we can find on the way.
24
And I'll put it back right here.
25
Wait, this Target is crazy!
26
This package is open and this package is open.
27
Who does that?
28
Maybe that should be another video that I do.
29
Open packages at the grocery stores.
30
But finding food in the food aisle is too easy.
31
I am in the beauty section.
32
Let's see if we can find any goodies here.
33
I'm in the beauty aisle and I'm looking around to see...
34
Oh, oh.
35
What?
36
What?
37
Not only are there...
38
...whites...
39
...a mini purse at the bottom you have to actually be
40
walking in order to see this there's a chobani greek yogurt here
41
but the thing is it's empty and open like somebody literally drank this
42
and hid it in here that's crazy what would you guys
43
do about this crazy hi i found this bottle by the
44
lip smackers i just want to give it to you thank you Thank you.
45
Hmm.
46
There's a lot of misplaced items around here, but I don't see any food items yet,
47
other than that open one that we already saw.
48
Okay, I just saw this end cap with a lot of abandoned items, like these bandages.
49
I think somebody got hurt and couldn't decide which was the right bandage for them, but these are not food items, so I can't take them.
50
I feel like these end caps are where people normally dump things, but I'm not seeing anything else yet, so we gotta keep going.
51
I don't think anyone would dump food by cleaners, though.
52
Oh my gosh, they have these mini rice cookers.
53
They're so tiny and so cute.
54
I love looking at gadgets.
55
Okay, we're entering the food area, and here's all the...
56
That was almost too easy.
57
We have overnight oats shakes. Are these open?
58
No, they look like they are still good.
59
After the last bite, I don't know, you just have to check.
60
We have overnight oat shake, where you just have to add water and refrigerate.
61
I think both of these have to count.
62
Okay, so since we are in the food items, I feel like things are gonna be scattered everywhere.
63
I found another one!
64
This is literally too easy now.
65
We got some nuts.
66
Okay, I think I'm finding some pretty decent things to make something with.
67
Something I don't know what.
68
I'm just gonna go down all the aisles.
69
Ooh, Doritos in the cookie aisle.
70
I feel like this isn't really a challenge because obviously food will get displaced around here, so why don't we make it interesting and go to the toy aisle.
71
Oh, look, Joyride inside of Magic Spoon.
72
But see the display right there?
73
Does this technically count as abandoned or just misplaced?
74
We have toys and makeup in the dog food aisle.
75
Ooh.
76
They're open.
77
Why do they keep doing that here?
78
and half-drunken Dr. Pepper.
79
Can't take those.
80
Do you guys spot it?
81
I spy my little eyes.
82
Ramen in the kitty litter box area along with a toilet wand.
83
That doesn't belong there.
84
Do I have to take both of these?
85
Wow.
86
Our cart's filling up quite nicely, guys, but I still have to go to the toy section.
87
Oh, I found Oreos in the toy section section.
88
This is probably the part where mom said no and there was probably some negotiations to be had around here.
89
A lot of snacks that I'm finding everywhere.
90
Oreos.
91
What am I going to make with all of these?
92
This is going to be an interesting challenge.
93
Okay, we're walking out to the checkout and I just found this.
94
Boo-boo-loo-boo.
95
I don't even know what this is.
96
Marshmallow and strawberry gummy with chocolate flavored coating.
97
I feel like that could be interesting.
98
I don't know what I would make with this but at least we'll give it a taste test.
99
I'm walking up to the checkout and I already see something that shouldn't be there.
100
Do you guys see it?
101
I feel like the checkout area is also where everyone makes their final decision
102
and puts things back randomly just like they did right here.
103
Toys, food.
104
Okay we have a pretty decent haul.
105
This is a lot more than I thought we'd find, but let's head to our next door and see what we can find there.
106
And now we're at Costco, where I actually wonder if people make more thoughtful decisions when they have to buy in bulk.
107
All right, guys, thank you so much.
108
Thank you.
109
All right, we just walked into Costco.
110
Surprisingly, not super busy, and I haven't seen anything misplaced yet.
111
But we're only just getting started.
112
I can't go to Costco without getting a sample though.
113
This is good lasagna.
114
This is too obvious.
115
Lego set in between some towels.
116
Definitely more negotiations between mom and child.
117
Okay this didn't travel too far.
118
It was just right across the aisle.
119
But now we gotta look for more food.
120
And I just ran into a viewer.
121
This is Lauren and we really say hi.
122
Everything has just been so well organized.
123
I haven't found a single thing misplaced yet.
124
Wait, we found strawberries in the cookie aisle,
125
which isn't super far from where this lives and it's still cold so technically does this count?
126
I'm gonna say yes.
127
For being such a huge store, I'm actually surprised and shocked right now that there's There's nothing just lying around on top of these bagels.
128
Hmm.
129
Let's browse the non-food section.
130
Okay, so I just spotted this bag of baby spinach next to all the dips.
131
And technically, this is still misplaced in a refrigerated item.
132
So I feel like this should count as abandoned.
133
I think we'll grab this.
134
And look what we have.
135
Not one, but two boxes of sparkling water.
136
in the toilet paper section, which kind of makes sense because the sodas are right across from it, but I don't see a home for these anywhere.
137
So I guess I have to buy two of these.
138
Maybe it got so heavy they just decided they needed to unload.
139
I mean, technically these chips are in the wrong place, but we're still in the chips aisles, so So I don't think that counts.
140
Honestly, everything is so well organized.
141
I can't find anything at a place.
142
There's people going around checking and organizing each aisle.
143
Honestly, because there are organizers here, I don't think we're to find anything, but I know the jackpot is usually at the self-checkout,
144
so let's see if we can find anything there.
145
Okay, we are headed to the checkout line.
146
I found an apple cider vinegar near the L-theanine that still supplements.
147
Look what we have!
148
It's still hot.
149
Honestly, I was wondering if we would find the iconic rotisserie chicken anywhere
150
and apparently someone decided they didn't want this for dinner.
151
So, I said refrigerated, not hot.
152
Am I gonna get sick?
153
I don't know.
154
Five items for $62.
155
Hand and fleece.
156
Follow the instructions.
157
We didn't find too many items at Costco, but I think this is a good assortment.
158
So as crazy as Target was, I was actually pretty surprised at how organized Costco is For the size of the warehouse,
159
I'm surprised that I only found five things that were abandoned.
160
But I have one more place to go.
161
And now we're at Whole Foods where people spend their whole paycheck.
162
And honestly, I'm not even sure what their spending habits are gonna be like.
163
So let's find out if there's any abandoned foods.
164
And I'm in the produce aisle and it's looking nearly perfect.
165
Perfectly organized.
166
Not a single grape out of place.
167
It's literally perfectly organized here.
168
There are workers everywhere in every aisle.
169
So I think that's how they're able to maintain everything perfectly.
170
I've walked through the produce section and then I walked through the meat section and I couldn't find anything.
171
Now I'm just going up and down the aisles hoping to find something.
172
My cart is empty.
173
The aisles are still perfectly organized.
174
It feels a little dystopian to me because even the end caps, which usually are a complete mess, are perfectly lined.
175
Every single end cap.
176
And she's probably the reason why.
177
In every aisle, there's a worker organized.
178
So I'm not really sure we're going to find anything here.
179
We're in the beauty aisle.
180
And at first, I thought it was a shampoo bottle.
181
So I didn't think twice but look what we found here.
182
It's a creamy sauce, Dandan inspired the bowl cut.
183
Could be shampoo, but I found one item.
184
Yeah.
185
Okay, I walked through just about the entire store and I only found one item that was truly out of place.
186
But there's one more section I mentioned to you guys earlier that at the checkout, people typically abandon their foods there.
187
So I'm gonna ask a worker to see if there's any food that got left behind.
188
Hi, do you have any abandoned foods that people put back here like they didn't want anymore after they came to checkout?
189
We do have a cart over there.
190
It's a go-back cart.
191
You should be able to find some.
192
Oh, okay, awesome.
193
I'm going to go there.
194
Thank you.
195
Okay, so here is the abandoned carts where everything that gets left behind at checkout goes.
196
Technically, it's already behind and secluded, so I can't really buy anything from there.
197
But in case you're wondering, that's what happens to abandoned foods at Whole Foods.
198
And here's our haul, or part of it anyways.
199
I still have the Costco stuff to bring in.
200
But let's see what we have to work with from Target.
201
We have the mixed nuts.
202
Spicy sweet chili Doritos.
203
I'm still not entirely sure what this is.
204
Those overnight oats.
205
Peanut butter M&M's.
206
Why did you have to grab two packets of ramen?
207
Some Oreos. And bagels.
208
I mean as individual snacks these would be great
209
but to make a meal out of them I don't even know where to start.
210
Luckily we also have some strawberries from Costco, rotisserie chicken, and this giant bag of spinach.
211
Not to mention some sparkling water.
212
I'm not going to carry the other one.
213
And then Whole Foods.
214
Some sauce.
215
And surprisingly, I was only able to find one item.
216
The question is, what can I create with these?
217
It's like I'm on an episode of Chopped.
218
I think I have a plan.
219
How salty is this?
220
Oh, it's salty.
221
Okay, I'm gonna add some nuts to the food processor.
222
Then, I think we should add these peanut butter M&M's to balance out the saltiness.
223
And while we're at it, let's throw in some Oreos and see how this turns out
224
Okay that took care of that so now I have a few more things left Let's cook up these noodles Okay,
225
noodles are all cooked.
226
I think I'm gonna go for a noodle salad type of dish, so while it's hot, let's add our spinach to wilt it a little bit.
227
Then I'm gonna throw in some shredded rotisserie chicken and a little bit of the ramen seasoning,
228
plus a little bit of our shampoo sauce.
229
Okay, let's toss it up.
230
Eeeeh, the noodles got all clumpy.
231
Water is not a real ingredient, so I'm gonna add a splash just to mix things around a little bit.
232
Wee!
233
I also have this Yuzu Mandarin sparkling water and hopefully it'll help separate the noodles a little bit while infusing some flavors.
234
I can confidently say I have never added sparkling water to my ramen before.
235
Hey, but it did the job.
236
No more clumping.
237
We have one more left.
238
This can be our crunchy topping.
239
You guys are probably wondering what I was doing with the nuts.
240
I made an M&M Oreo nut butter, and hopefully it tastes good, but it looks like.. like a nut butter.
241
So let's spread it on our bagel.
242
Then I usually like to top my bagels with some interesting things.
243
So we're going to add some strawberry slices and I still have to find the use for these boo-boo luboos, which I've never had before.
244
Let's give it a little taste test.
245
Oh, it's just like a marshmallow candy stick.
246
Mmm, so bad.
247
You know what?
248
We're gonna add some to our bagel.
249
Oh, this is actually pretty good.
250
The strawberry filling is like a strawberry jelly.
251
I feel like this would be really good as s'mores too.
252
pretty good fine but i still need real strawberries dessert for breakfast
253
or breakfast for dessert but i think i was able to use everything
254
that we found to create not one
255
but a few meals we even have breakfast for tomorrow this
256
one is just your average overnight oats nothing too exciting i just followed the directions
257
and added water and milk to the line now we just have to let it set
258
but let's try our breakfast item I used the bagels that we found next to the Tide Pod, the marshmallow candy, and strawberries from Costco.
259
Along with our Oreo nut butter concoction.
260
If this is good, I might just jar it up and sell it.
261
You know, that's actually really good.
262
It's very balanced.
263
It's still like a hint salty from the mixed nuts, but then the M&Ms and the Oreos gave it that chocolatey flavor and sweetness.
264
I actually really like that.
265
But let's see what our main course is like.
266
This reminds me of a college struggle meal, and I think it could work.
267
I'm glad that we were able to find some meat.
268
This dish could have gone without the meat, and this spinach really makes it a salad.
269
Mmm, that's really good.
270
Noolani had a good eye and spotted this by the soap.
271
And to be honest, I feel like the chicken bouillon powder with this drink could have made the sauce too, but this took it to the next level.
272
I'm actually really impressed with all of the abandoned products that we found to make this.
273
Sometimes you just gotta use your imagination.
274
One man's trash is another woman's treasure.
275
I hope you guys like this video.
276
Now go watch me test Facebook Marketplaces food.
277
Bye!

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
