She sounds so calm and normal when she says "there may be a vortex in the aisle." Yep, perfectly normal supermarket

[LudiusQuassas]

Please bring back the 80s-styled commercials!
I can't get the Omega Mart jingle out of my head.

[jackpijjin]

I like that Omega Mart isn't outright evil, just... strange.

[nefariousyawn]

I would love to see an Omega Mart employee training video.
EDIT: Thanks. Everyone can stop telling me about the training videos. I made this comment within days before they published them, and of course I watched them all as they were released.

[Parpious]

I would actually go to Las Vegas *just* for this

[unicute]

The slogan was “Part of the food chain part of the fun”? My life is a lie. How will I know what’s in store for me now?

[auroraSLAP]

I’m going insane wondering if this is an in-universe documentary or not

[marsupialsofmars]

I thought this was all just spooky commercials I never knew it started as an actual place and has lore and stuff

[LuisHernandez]

Omega Mart has to be one of the coolest art projects I've ever heard of. We need more stuff like this across the US, this is great for our artistic culture.

[TeethCollect]

As a artist also working in a meat department I can really resonate with this

[kawaiikoffing]

I REALLY REALLY wanna go to omega mart. I only live like, 10 hours away

[spongerobert]

The strangest iconic thing I always see even in "regular" American stores is cheese poof balls in giant plastic jars. For me that's a really strange normal thing and I'd like to think it's actually an Omega Mart original product that sort of escaped and started stocking itself en masse in other regular stores

[forimmatureaudiences]

Theory: time goes faster in omega mart since the new commercials are getting more modern

[LaneTraveler]

Gambling is not my scene, because if it weren't for bad luck, I would have no luck at all. So it's nice to finally have a reason to visit Las Vegas.

[MetanteiTriforce]

I can't believe I'm in Japan, and suddenly I wanna cross the world to be at the wildest pop up instillation--cause its not HERE. Now THAT'S weird.

[deviantartest]

That’s absolutely how stores pop up. Starting our small and then becoming bigger and more elaborate and then finally branching out. I really want to buy things from Omega Mart.

[SamiTheAnxiousBean]

this is definantly amazing
I loved and still love seeing this thing evolve overtime

I don't know 2009 omegamart was a thing but I love
it's fun to see how far it's came

[GalacticRainestorm]

I love how they're self aware in this video, but at the same time they don't give up the act that it's a real place where real stuff happens



I absolutely love art and I'm hooked on this, I think Omega Mart is one of the best and most unique art projects I've ever come across.

[ms.pirate]

I would like to buy one of their fake label items, but I'm afraid to ask what liquid it is for because i don't want to ruin the magic

EPILEPSY/STROBE WARNING:

Just as a heads-up for anyone watching with epilepsy, there's a pretty serious strobe effect right after the 2:57 mark. There may or may not be others after it, also.
