Each person he meets before each song is emblematic of someone who suffers from the line of existential thinking that each song is about. *Milk:* the old lady refuses to try new things because she can always try them later, but then ‘dies’ by disappearing at the end *Bread:* the nut man smugly uses material possessions to justify his existence and make himself feel superior to others, despite shopping at the same store as everyone else. *Paper Towels:* the worker was so hung up on the concept of irreversibly changing, that he never got around to actually handling messes in any meaningful way. *Oatmeal:* the bowl man was obsessed with planning out every moment of life and failed to account for or accept the spontaneity of life. *Coffee:* the mom was addicted to coffee and used it as an unhealthy coping mechanism to get herself through every aspect of life. *Cheese:* the main character himself was suffering from this which was choice paralysis in the face of the possibilities of life. Unlike the others, he actually overcame his existential crisis by realizing that by simply making a choice, you automatically get some form of control and meaning out of your existence that the randomness of the universe cannot provide.

They’re also a representation of every song the item is attributed to.

[@인아윤-h7u]

I think this video is very interesting because somehow Jack Stauber manages to capture the important things he values in life using... a shopping list. Of random stuff. The main character gets each item, spontaneously contemplating about his life each time he chooses. The milk song was about a 'life' lived, and how after you die the world just moves on('your days are gone, the grocery list goes on'). The artisan bread part was about how people try to act like they are 'artisanal', like they live a luxurious life. But at some point they start getting obsessed with it(" what is an artisanal me, where do my clothes end? Which ones are my artisanal friends?"), to the point where you only try to be the version of yourself that looks artisanal, and only befriend people who are artisanal. Your clothes(a metaphor for who you look like on the outside) are what determines YOU. The paper towels is more about a 'mess' than the item itself. The mess is a metaphor for how life keeps going on and doesn't heed your needs when you want to stop things from happening, or have time to think. And at some point inevitably you must die. The oatmeal entails a silly conversation with a person who lives a preposterous life, planning everything on a rigid schedule("I just sacrificed getting peas for standing here, bagels for explaining a body's like a clock to you and..."). Then the main character wonders to himself if everything can be planned, like accidents? What about death(symbolized by the car crash scene)? The coffee part is about starting drinking coffee because YOU decided you want to use it to control yourself, bit then getting controlled by COFFEE. It can be anything other than coffee, I just think the caffeine is a metaphorical example. In "Cheese", the main character is antagonized by the fact that he is supposed to choose one product out of so many different ones, wondering if someone else can choose it for him instead. But choosing the cheese(and making important choices in his life) is completely up to him; nobody can live his life instead, can they? And then he suddenly realizes something. "I trust I would pick something better... It's a decision I make to be a good go-getter. Milk will expire so toss your oatmeal and eat something new. Coffee moderation, life is messy and your bread isn't you." Basically: "Your living days are limited, so don't be obsessed with schedules and rules and seize unexpected opportunities, embrace the new. You depend on other things to try and moderate your life, but life doesn't wait for you. Also don't get obsessed by what others think, because what you are to them aren't necessarily your identity." After this declaration he rushes... to the sample corner and decides he wants the strawberry flavor. I was particularly tickled by this ending. Like so many of us, even when he finds some deep meaning in life and decides to live his best version, the things he's capable of changing and choosing are so petty and little. Like which flavor to sample?

I just realized: every person our protagonist meets during the pop opera has their head shaped like the product in question, save for Cheese: The old woman looks like a milk carton. The artisanal gentleman is shaped like the Multigrain 12 Nut Vitamin bread. The worker who cuts his finger on the broken glass is shaped like a roll of paper towels, there are small lines on him that are similar to the tearable parts on each roll. The time-obssessed man is shaped like a bowl of oatmeal, his hair being the oatmeal in the bowl. The coffee addict looks like a coffee mug, her ear being the handle to the mug, her three hairs being the steam coming out of cup And our protagonist's hair has a little bit of his hair curl up, just like the curl on the yogurt sample he chooses Jack intentionally designed them this way to say something, the only problem is I don't know *what* he could be saying

[@Lucien_M]

They represent the problems addressed in the songs. Also the main character looks like a sample because of his main problem which is addressed in "Cheese", the last song and the opening segment. The main character's problem is that he's too indecisive, so he samples their lives through each segment

[@mariopikaman1]

Thanks for the explanation, after rewatching it again, I've noticed a few more things that might be interesting -The old woman asks for a box of pecan cookies, cookies are a natural partner to milk (you dunk the cookies into the milk) -After we finish Bread, we notice the couple, they're the only one to not be met by our protagonist in any way, the only thing we know about them is that they're in a relationship and eat vegan hot dog buns (another form of bread) I don't think Jack meant to say anything with the woman's need for cookies (I could be wrong, Jack Stauber is one of those artists to hide details), but I do think that he did mean something with the vegan couple: As we see in the Bread section and the final song, you aren't the bread you choose, and, with the bonk on his head, letting yourself be only known by your food choices (what society knows you for) hurts you in long run

[@sexfuk2119]

Also I’m pretty sure (it might seem obvious idk) its related to the stages of grief Edit: each character is in their own world and aren’t willing to try new things, so the main character realizes that he should try new things instead of being self absorbed because he saw how reserved the others were and he didnt want to live like them. The people became the food basically because they made it their personality, for example the mug-shaped woman who lived on coffee.

I think the music in this has really interesting things to say about the decisions we make. *The milk song* seems to be about how life is shorter than you realise and how you will waste it unless you get out of your comfort zone and do something new occasionally. *The Artisanal bread song* is about how if you define yourself by your choices and what you own then you will never truly have a personality and most likely, never truly be happy because you are busy considering what others think of you. *The mess song* stresses how life is difficult and living in nihilism may be a better alternative to making choices but also points out the negative impact that would have on your well-being. But it suggests that you can accept that it is “Out of my hands” and use the problems of life in a positive way. *The oatmeal song* begins by saying that your life could be nice and orderly if you did the same thing everyday but then points out how life is too unpredictable to successfully plan things out that much. *The coffee song* is about how using coffee (or anything else) to make choices for you is a bad idea because it leads to an unhealthy addiction and often has a negative impact. For example, the coffee, in the song, distracts him from paying his bills. *The final two songs* point out that choices may be difficult sometimes, but just by deciding something, you can regain a sense of purpose and maybe feel better.

He's come to terms with routine being a bad thing. - He never buys paper towels, he gets a reusable one, meaning he's come to expect messes to be a permanent thing. - The coffee he gets is decaf meaning that the addictive quality is missing.
