Chip's Chewables: 16 Items They Only Sell At Chinese Walmarts

imagechina/AP
Walmart in China is very different.  I remember the first time I walked into a Walmart in Beijing.  The whole experience was a major let down.  I thought I was going to be able to find frozen pizza and boxes of cereal; however, I found dried duck, fermented eggs, and the largest aisle of cooking oils I have ever seen. 

Chinese Walmarts are not a complete waste of time.  If you like aquariums or sea food, you will be entertained by countless live options available jumping from tank to tank.  I was entertained for several minutes by the shrimp, clams, eels, turtles, and frogs all swimming or hopping in their tanks. Lets just say, the lobster tank at your local Walmart is a joke compared to the "things" you will find at a Chinese Walmart.

  1. I'm not even sure how to comment on this post! (other than feeling sick to my stomach at the thought of having to go to Walmart in China!)
