USA The Land With At Least 50 Options

Ever stood frozen in a grocery aisle, paralyzed by 37 types of orange juice or milk options that require a PhD to decode? Welcome to America-the land of freedom, fries, and fifty wildly different grocery store experiences. In this delightfully quirky road trip, Robert Okine trades tourist traps for frozen food sections and souvenir shops for snack aisles. With the eyes of a global nomad and the wit of your favorite stand-up comic, he journeys state by state-from California's kale sanctuaries to Texas' brisket emporiums, from Vermont's maple-syrup serenity to Florida's hot mess of sunshine and Spam. Forget Michelin stars-this is a love letter to the humble grocery store, where culture, identity, and chaos collide under fluorescent lights. It's anthropology with a shopping cart, humor with heart, and America like you've never seen it: through the absurd abundance of almond milks, the regional pride of ranch dressings, and the soulful confessions of hot bars and deli counters. Whether you're a curious traveler, a cultural junkie, or just someone who's ever yelled "WHY are there eight kinds of frozen waffles?"-this book is for you. Grab your reusable bags, buckle your snack belt, and prepare to laugh, nod, and crave a cheese curd you've never tasted. Because in the U.S.A., one thing's for sure: you'll always have options.

USA Where Dogs Have More Rights Than You Do A hilarious and eye-opening tour of America's states-one barking mad, bone-laced, paw-approved policy at a time. In a country where dogs wear designer raincoats, attend therapy sessions, and sometimes enjoy better healthcare than humans, one outsider embarks on a state-by-state journey through America's canine obsession. From Alabama's truck-riding hounds to Washington D.C.'s politically connected pups, this satirical travelogue explores a nation where dogs aren't just pets-they're privileged citizens with Instagram accounts, artisanal diets, and bedrooms in houses they didn't help pay for. With sharp wit and genuine affection, the author uncovers how America's treatment of dogs reveals deeper truths about our values, regional quirks, and national identity. Whether it's California's canine movie stars, Colorado's mountain-summiting mutts, or New York's pampered pups with better real estate than most Millennials, these four-legged Americans live lives that would make most humans jealous. Part cultural commentary, part loving mockery-and entirely entertaining-this cross-country romp proves that understanding America might be as simple as seeing who gets shotgun on the road trip. Perfect for dog lovers, wanderlusters, and anyone curious why we treat our pets like royalty while barely managing our own lives. "I didn't grow up where dogs wore sweaters or had birthday cakes. Then I moved to America-and discovered fifty ways to treat a dog better than a person." Book 2 in the "USA The Land with At Least 50 Options" series.
