There have always been establishments that they go out of the ordinary: shops of horrors and various absurdities in which to acquire the most famous rarities of any area.
Well, food, no matter how functional it is, also has its own cabinet of curiosities fueled by nightmares of horror and fantasy in equal proportion.
This is how it was explained by the tiktoker @aquisandrax, with almost three million followers, after remembering his trip to Las Vegas, about the Omega Mart store, which he considers the strangest supermarket in the world, and where everything is a food trompe l’oeil.
In a video that is approaching half a million views, the Internet user shares images of a supermarket in the bizarre city American that, he considers, simulates that there has been a great “short circuit” and everything is in altered versions, or where everything is “kind of weird.”
Mammoth pieces
For example, it lists that this establishment sells square peas either a can of mammoth pieces. Another of the most bizarre revelations is the can of potatoes with piercings, cooked and ready to serve and impress the guests.
The store also makes available to its customers tattooed chickens and “organs that look like they came out of Stranger Things”, and even what the Internet user considers artworks made with mortadella.
Also striking is a container that “looks like a cleaning product, but it is liquid butter”. In fact, the establishment has an aisle that looks like a cleaning products aisle, but in reality the degreaser bottles are fluffy plushies.
In this oddity store they also have some avocados which are actually purses and “peanut-free peanut cans” which are truly salt packets.

‘Upside down’
The carnage of this establishment is the entrance to “a secret world”, like the upside down of Stranger Thingswhere everything takes a bluish chalice and with the daydream before a nightmare. This hidden world is full of scary corridors and sub-passages in which the visitor continues to encounter such oddities.
“It’s crazy,” says the tiktoker lost in this hallway where you can see tigers, cereal boxes hiding toothpaste, carrots playing sports, lettuce flip flops and even another area of the store that gives access to another “parallel world” similar to a long illuminated intestine.
This supermarket is Omega Mart and is actually an elaborate immersive art project by Meow Wolf that has taken the form of surreal supermarket.
It is, in truth, a permanent installation that landed two years ago in Las Vegas and pays tribute to the psychedelic. According to its creators, this strange supermarket is a social criticism of the dependence of societies on consumerism.

However, everything that is marketed is to tease customers, but everything that is on display in this establishment can be bought and taken home to surprise guests at a Halloween party or any day random with no other pleasure than playing with food.
