You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I have personally made the 'Female Emergency Trip' check out on multiple occasions that have made people laugh. It includes: 1 package of tampons, 1 pint of Ben n' Jerry's, and some Ibuprophen.

But the absolute funniest? Hmmm. I'm thinking about a really large grocery store:

-Super glue
-Acetone
-Cucumbers
-Bananas
-Powdered donuts
-Extension cord
-KY Jelly (his and hers)
-Cyanne pepper
-Preperation H
-Modern Bride Magazine
-Baking Powder
-Wire cleaning pads
-Box of straws
-Sudafed (20 boxes)
-Vodka (2ltr)
-Twine

Of course this person also went into the 15 or less lane... but no one was around... at first.

Well... in reality, I wouldn't be able to buy 20 boxes of Sudafed (unless I had a license), since meth heads break it down for the ephedrine. Mmmm.

Maybe I'll just dash down the car isle and pick up some coolant. Mmm, that stuff tastes sweet!

One of the most fun sites I've ever seen addresses exactly this question: http://www.grocerylists.org/, consisting of found grocery lists since 1997. So you *know* that these items have ended up in someone's cart!

Some of my favorites:
http://www.grocerylists.org/wp-content/gallery/lists-301-400/0382.jpg

This tells a story. A very odd story. Who makes bee traps that involve squirt guns, pie pans, strawberries and hot peppers, anyway? Lure them to the pie pans with the strawberries, then shoot them with squirt guns filled with hot pepper juice, maybe? What a way to build a better bee trap!

Or this one. The site describes it as "Cool! A drunken smoking milkshake party!"

Finally, the ultimate PMS shopping list:
http://www.grocerylists.org/wp-content/gallery/lists-701-800/0701.jpg

Oops, I said "finally" too soon. I imagine the person who dropped this shopping list got either sympathetic glances from the cashier, or the cashier ran screaming away:

I'd like to let this appropriate xkcd comic answer the question for me:

http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/collecting_double_takes.png

I also enjoyed visiting my local grocery store to see lube, condoms, and pregnancy tests together on the checkout display.

The best laugh I've gotten was when buying 6 boxes of Tampax and 6 jumbo (1lb) chocolate bars (both were on sale, I couldn't pass up the deal) and nothing else.

HaHa! I love that cartoon! I once worked with a guy that was arrested in Wal-Mart for shoplifting some KY and a cucumber while wearing fishnet hose and high heels. True story. I do not know wear that guy is now, but I hope they upped his dosage.

I haven't actually witnessed a strange combination of items in any one shopping cart but I was witness to these other two funny scenes:

1. A couple come through the checkout lane with nothing but a can of REDI-WHIP.
2. A familiar customer, an older man of about 80 years bought 18 boxes of condoms.

Oh, my goodness. How about the makings of "9 1/2 Weeks" in a a shopping cart? With the help of youtube, I'll get a pretty good shopping list together. The items are in order of appearance in the attached clips.

If I saw this in someone's cart on a Friday night, the first thing I'd think was"Someone is SO gettin' it this weekend, all weekend, beginning perhaps as soon as the stuff gets home (or to the office or hotel, whichever comes first--if not sooner).

-Popcorn
-Panty Hose
-a pack of Zippo lighters (I don't smoke, but it's not my shopping list.
-a bottle of wine and a bottle of champagne
-Condoms (The song is "You Can Leave Your Hat On," isn't it?)

-Hot fudge syrup--just plain chocolate in a pinch
-One of those small crock-pots
-Maraschino cherries
-A bag of ice and a tell-tale lack of ice cream to go with the above three items.)

The third clip--the food scene--is the clincher. In my mind, this scene IS the film.. It contains:
-Eggs and an egg slicer
-A can of olives and a can opener
-Cherry Tomatoes
-Strawberries
-Corkscrew pasta
-Something Jello-like that's already made
-A jalapeno pepper
-Milk
-A bottle of Perrier
-Honey--a LOT of it. Maple syrup is an acceptable substitute.

Though not shown, by Monday morning, I'd think the following would be needed (at least once)
-Deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes (hers and/or his
-Bath soap of some kind--maybe even bubble bath, too.
-Lipstick and other makeup& cosmetics, including hairbrushes
-A triple-pack of tissue boxes
-Laundry detergent and dish detergent

If I missed anything or if you need someone who DID see the film and likely remembers, worry not.

There are 75 people who, if you ask if they saw the film, say they "did it:"

PS: God Bless Kim Basinger.
