Delighted Pedestrian Spots Giant Grocery Cart Driving Down Washington Street
Forks, Washington, is located on the Olympic Peninsula. The area is famous for the raw beauty of the surrounding mountains and for being “the rainiest town in the contiguous US.” It was also the backdrop for the popular Twilight Saga movies. Many things could make Forks, WA, stand out in a crowd. But if you’re not an outdoor fan or a movie buff, you could visit the area to see the giant grocery cart.

As the giant shopping cart passes pedestrian Cherish Danae, she records a video and says, “Hey, Bruce.” There is nothing unusual to see here. Move along. Bruce owns the local grocery store. We’re not sure why Bruce has the giant grocery cart, but it indeed turns heads around town!
The giant shopping cart craze began several years ago. The origin is fuzzy, as several people claim rights to the title of “The First Giant Grocery Cart.” The carts are built on car or truck frames. There seem to be two basic configurations. In one style, the driver sits in the “seat” area of the cart, and all controls are there. In the second model, the driver’s seat is under the cart, much like the driver of a regular vehicle. The Forks cart is the second type, with a rear-mounted engine.

A man in his backyard made one of the first carts to go viral for his local Christmas toy drive. The giant grocery carts have been custom-made for various organizations. The specialty carts are often used to promote stores and charity campaigns. The carts are street-legal, with lights, safety features, and state registrations. You might see one cruising down the highway in your town! This may be the next “Bigfoot” craze.
