With an [interactive approach to pranks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-rewards-program), MediocreFilms has attempted to confuse and disorientate workers while asking for ridiculous items at Kmart. This viral video is just one in a series of videos from the company, who have a full [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beechers-handmade-cheese) channel. The goal of these videos is obviously to entertain, but also to win the challenge between the two presenters.

The competition is to find as many objects on a list that each of the presenters have written for each other. Both have to carry out this feat without looking at the list before talking to the employees. Some of the questions involved include: "Do you have shaving salsa," "I can't believe it's not daddy butter" or asking for "a car ceiling fan."

MediocreFilms should definitely give you some ideas to make your next [shopping adventure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asda-and-wicked) more fun.
