Imagine jet-setting across the globe, clocking in at 1,000 supermarkets in 150 countries over 11 years! That’s exactly what Dan Kelly did, all while on a mission to collect cost of living data. What started as a job collecting grocery prices evolved into a fascinating discovery of global shopping habits. 🚀
Throughout his adventure, Dan stumbled upon two quintessentially British products that seemed to pop up on supermarket shelves everywhere. Any guesses? It’s the iconic 100g red box of Twining’s English Breakfast Tea and the trusty 100g jar of Nescafé Gold coffee. No matter where he went, from bustling cities to remote towns, these two staples were always in stock—even if they were tucked away at the back of a dusty shelf! 🫖☕
Dan’s journey wasn’t just about numbers and prices. It was about the connections he made, from the supermarket aisles to chatting with locals. His takeaway? A simple smile and a “hello” can open doors and hearts wherever you are in the world. 😊
Now, Dan’s epic journey lives on as a stand-up comedy show, bringing a humorous twist to his tales of travel and shopping. While he’s moved on to new adventures, those years of globetrotting remain close to his heart.
