"Their food is disgusting" -Dan Avidan, 2022

[@jekblom123]

what was that episode?

[@clussylove]

when Dan said that I thought he was talking about a restaurant not a grocery store how can it all be disgusting

[@wherefancytakesme]

​@@clussyloveThe store-brand stuff and deli/bakery probably sucked.

[@wherefancytakesme]

​@@jekblom123Powerwash simulator. Not sure which video specifically, but they're cleaning a playground doing their very first dad kissing bit.

[@ShannaeJ]

@@clussyloveit’s a joke 😭

[@danielpenrodii2389]

I always go back to this jingle whenever I want to kiss somebody else’s dad.

[@SniftSneft2]

It will always makes me want to seek some truth. No matter how many dad’s I have to kiss

[@paralegalerika_s6389]

My husband and I were laughing our asses off this morning seeing this collection of truth seekers in the comments.

[@Smapti]

@@paralegalerika_s6389 so anyway... where's your dad?

[@thedogmancaper]

[@Aluciel286]

I missed the entire commercial because I was laughing too hard at this comment. 😂

[@cartreezy1631]

My fellow lovelies!

[@Nick.Steven]

So... Is your dad around here?

[@magikenn]

The sheer confusion this person must have from reading comments about dad kissing.

[@paralegalerika_s6389]

All you dad-kissing truth seekers, we see you and love that this brought us all here together.

[@cartreezy1631]

I’m crying laughing so hard! I’m late to being a Grumps fan and this whole comment section is killing me!

[@jay_cee583]

Thanks dan

[@xMetallicxAlloyx]

Just a dad wandering around food emporium. Alone. Without a sweater.

[@Ofwhateverrrrrr]

Dan brung me here 🎵🎵FOOD EMPORIUM, FOOD EMPORIUM🎶 the food is disgusting

[@tisha1092]

Same here 🤣

[@Rand0mHero713]

Where's that dad of yours at?

[@sensudubs4421]

Gotta meat that dad

[@Xerox594]

Am I the only one who thought this song was gonna sound WAY different after hearing Dan sing it

[@TheRealGuusMcgoose]

The account owner definitely doesn’t know who the Game Grumps are and is like “???” Wtf 😂

[@SklumfThe]

Grumps anyone?

[@Nekomania]

Where's your dad at? I've got a joke to tell him.

[@Tremmor500]

This poor business. Now it will be forever associated to kissing my dad.

[@mage1439]

And having disgusting food.

[@terranocturnus]

Thank you Dan for bringing me here

[@legomojo]

“Someone’s got a dad just for me!” “Going on a dad kissing spree!”

[@Aluciel286]

Good lord, the reaction when the guy pulls the lobster out. The purest joy and/or terror I have ever seen.

[@Emgee78]

"Going on a dad kissing spree! (Food Emporium, Food Emporium)"

[@kindbeats]

I still sing this to this day.

[@40whiteowls]

Me too 😂

[@19211265]

Andrew McAuley Me too. One of my favorites!

[@massinamuhammad6593]

This song is classic!! I still sing this too!! Me and my sisters!!

[@matthewjereomsky]

Me too!

[@ryan9570]

I think if they'd made a 3-minute song out of this, it would have charted in NYC! this is the greatest advertising jingle I've ever heard!

[@boblarson9994]

the Sea Monkeys made a 1:30 min version. I put it to the commercial kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJjXfIhmpriqh9E

[@TheTERMlNAT0R]

I agree because I can’t forget this damn jungle …I think I’ve heard this when I was 6….I’m 41 now 😂

[@shelydon78]

:)

[@mykeanimates252]

It's great for kissing your dad

[@wms229]

This is such an incredible find. One of the greatest jingles ever written. A must listen for all NYers of the 80s and 90s.

[@bigalsretroroom]

"dadsoldtapes" is definitely appropriate for this upload

[@TheRealGuusMcgoose]

You think like me 😂

[@ManMonkey600]

As a kid I used to want to go to a Food Emporium so bad. This commercial made it seem like the place was on par with Disney World.

[@CTKid203]

I used to hear the jingle on the radio so much...it felt like the greatest place in the world

[@nikkicas260]

I had this song stuck in my head since I was a child my parents always woke us up to 1010 Wins news every morning

[@19211265]

Yes same here. Miss those days

[@CTKid203]

Me too. Miss being a kid sometimes

[@KairuHakubi]

i love how everything in the 80s was trying to get you emotionally involved. like we don't need to make this a christmas card situation here, I just need food.

[@ecksdeeeXD]

The only non dad kissing comment on here.

[@Bli757]

That ol Danny and Arnold did it again! 🤣

[@cartreezy1631]

It’s 1:45 am, I’m in the bathroom crying laughing at all the truth seeker comments. Thanks for the laugh

[@PV24]

I never remember seeing a commercial for this. I just remember hearing it on 1010 WINS as a kid. Does this place still exist?

[@dbentley18]

I also did not remember a TV commercial. i would always hear it on 1010 wins. Most of them are gone since A&P went bankrupt. There are like 5 left in NYC.

[@mjb1124]

Key Food bought them and took over a few of the NYC stores, and are opening some new ones including one in Garwood, NJ (a former Pathmark). They should bring this jingle back.

[@jfitnesshealth]

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss 1010 wins use to always play it and even as a kid I use to say "during the 90s" this is the same song for yearrrssss. It had a 80s sound and it always reminded me of whos the boss for some reason on a sunday 80s day. ll im from bk ny.

[@saulschildhorn5966]

No. A&P closed all their markets over 1 year ago. Many Food Emporiums In Manhattan are vacant.

[@rillloudmother]

@@jfitnesshealth it's from the 80s. i remember it from like 1983 or 84 when one opened up near my house.

[@mingtooter]

Could be anyone...You. Your Dad. Anyone at all.

[@Animehater333]

You your dad, hey Billy where's your dad at?

[@glimmerlarue7382]

Your dad tho.

[@usedforks]

It really upsets me that they started another verse and then didn’t finish it

[@OptimusProvost]

“Their food is disgusting.”

[@MatthewJohnson-ps5uv]

Best song. I love this. Takes me back to NYC 1989🗽

[@leelalo6625]

Wow I was singing this with out a skip. It is like my brain was stained and stored this song. I must have been as young as 6 when I watched this.

[@ItzDrPlow]

you ever was just sittin around and a song pops into you head? this is one of those times

[@ldyluv6988]

Oh em Gee! It 1:20 in the morning and this song pops up in my head! Such a nostalgic jingle of childhood 😩

[@lakoper478]

What the fuck.... Was the power wash simulator playthru really 2 years ago already😭😭 there ain't no way.. I remember that like it was yesterday

[@DevinGates]

You're damn right it was! I remember back then, watching the playthrough, kissing your dad.... Good times
