You forgot the toilet paper

[–]davepollotart[S] 217 points218 points  (27 children)

Can’t directly link, but if you search my username on ig and look about nine posts in, you’ll find what you’re looking for :)

[–]atehate 86 points87 points  (8 children)

I can't wait to find some toilet paper.

[–]PlayerOne2016found relaxlu's marbles 10 points11 points  (1 child)

I have everything but the Spam and Nutella. If you need toilet paper that bad I'll mail you a pack. I got like 20 rolls.

[–]atehate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the offer. But I'm good. We mostly use water here haha.

[–]HeirOfHouseReyne 19 points20 points  (1 child)

Here's a screenshot of his painting. I had to look through a lot of awesome art to find it.

[–]Beckels84 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can't you order some online? Shelves and online stock can still be sporadic but I ordered some online from Wal-Mart a couple weeks ago.

[–]katashscar 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I ordered some from Grove. It's honestly the only place I could find it. Also if there's a factory in your town that makes industrial toilet paper they can prob help you out.

[–]HooverinSchneef 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ahh yes the local tp factory

edit: not tryna be a douche, it just made me laugh

I follow you on instagram and was fully about to call you (as OP) out. "Actually this was done by an artist called Dave Pollot" but then I saw your username....

[–]127_0_0_1-3000 10 points11 points  (11 children)

call it "poor people food"

[–]Bdiablo89 10 points11 points  (10 children)

Nutella is rich people food bro!

[–]siensunshine 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Seriously, I don’t see one store brand anything. This cannot be a poor person. 😂

    This is amazing I love the juxtaposition of flowers and ribbons with Jif.

    [–]davepollotart[S] 73 points74 points  (13 children)

    Thank you! So, I’m admittedly a creature of habit and I have a brand of pb that I’ve loved for years. While painting this, my wife bet me that I couldn’t pass a blind taste test between JIF and my go to. After controlling for temperature (I like my peanut butter from the refrigerator) and freshness of containers (density of nut varies depending on distance from lid), I’m proud to say that I easily guessed my brand...

    [–]4got_username 14 points15 points  (1 child)

    Skippy?

    [–]19_MCMVII_07 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    Me, an European who grew up with Skippy sent by aunt in CA, yes!

    [–]LegalAppeal 13 points14 points  (2 children)

    There's certainly a difference between brands of peanutbutter, especially smooth variants. Some are grainier than others and some are sweeter than others.

    Jif seems to be a bit sweeter and a bit smoother than other peanutbutter I've tried and I prefer it.

    [–]mckulty 22 points23 points  (1 child)

    There's a bit of "fresh roast" caramelized taste to Jif that I just don't get from anything else.

    Probably an additive formulated by a secret committee of food chemists who dissect 12-year-old children in their secret laboratory.

    But I'll switch to pimento cheese before I'll buy a different brand.

    [–]kliman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

    I'm not a religious man, but my fondness for Jif is pretty close.

    [–]oolaroux 5 points6 points  (2 children)

    I've always been partial to Peter Pan, myself!

    [–]mckulty 7 points8 points  (1 child)

    That's my #2.

    But Planters.. wow.

    I expected Planters would know how to make peanut butter. It's just a step above that old brown sludge the cafeteria ladies used to dig out of gallon buckets.

    [–]little_miss_bumshine 6 points7 points  (1 child)

    Jif is a cleaning agent in my country so I have to admit, the painting and then reading this confused da faq outta me haha!

    [–]Onyxthegreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    For whatever reason they renamed Jif to Cif in my country about 10 years ago. Still no idea why, because it's exactly the same besides.

    [–]moosepile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    This is unrelated to visual art, but as an also-not-Jif guy I feel the need to introduce Jif Dark Roast (or similar name) to the conversation.

    It’s peanut butter plus.

    [–]princessaurus_rex 3 points4 points  (1 child)

    Ha! That was a fun story. My dad claims he can tell the difference too but my mom has been refilling the jars with store brand since we were kids. If he ever did the shopping might notice JIF doesn't even use that packaging anymore. My parents are weird.

    [–]KiKiPAWG 36 points37 points  (6 children)

    This is amazing, I totally thought these were real at first! Some good ol' fashioned staples there! We've actually got all that except for the SPAM!

    [–]Restless_Fillmore 3 points4 points  (3 children)

    I wish I could find that stuff.

    [–]jb007gd 4 points5 points  (2 children)

    Spam is absolutely delicious. I don't know why it ever gets a bad rap. Except for the facts that it's visually unappealing, has a distinct odor and that clear gelatin when opened. But oh baby! Once you slice it thin and fry it until crispy, it's like high class bacon ♥️

    [–]BatsForCats 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    [–]Wander_Pig 26 points27 points  (5 children)

    LOVE this.. Oil or acrylic? If it’s oil: I’m impressed. If it’s acrylic: I’m even more impressed because it looks like oil. Either way: NICE WORK 👍🏻

    [–]davepollotart[S] 31 points32 points  (4 children)

    Oils! I’ve never been able to work well with acrylics. They dry so fast...

    [–]Wander_Pig 10 points11 points  (3 children)

    A man after my own heart. My first true love is oil painting.

    Acrylics do dry much too fast for my liking and no matter how well they are used ... the end result always feels so, well, PLASTIC (yes I know that they are plastic to begin with.. it just feels fake, like an imposter somehow?!) It just lacks this I-don’t-know-what that an oil painting has. I feel like a total snob when it comes to oils vs acrylics, 😬 .. oh well?!

    [–]Le_90s_Kid_XD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    I had a friend visit me that wanted to paint a giant canvas, so i bought acrylic due to it being cheaper. I hate it and ill never paint with it again when i finish this current painting.

    [–]ghettobx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    I've only ever experimented with acrylics. If I wanted to get into using oils, what would be the top 2 or 3 tips you'd have for that transition?

    [–]geniusMonkey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

    If I ran a grocery store, I would buy the rights to this and hire someone to paint this on the side of my store, ASAP.

    Great work.

    [–]mightymeatloaf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    I didn’t even notice the pasta box at first! It’s a good way to tie the foreground/background together. You should definitely be proud of this one

    [–]WWTBFCD3PillowMin 3 points4 points  (2 children)

    This is great! That better get one fancy fucking frame! I’m talking gold fleur-de-lys... everything!

    [–]davepollotart[S] 5 points6 points  (1 child)

    I’ve already framed it! It looks great in gold...

    [–]xoxoshb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    [–]Gqchii 9 points10 points  (16 children)

    Somebody look up if all these companies are owned by one big large company. If they are, we got here a fat advertisement.

    [–]GranFabio 6 points7 points  (1 child)

    Barilla and Nutella (a Ferrero brand) are for sure different companies, interestingly still owned by the original families (so Mr. Barilla is the boss of Barilla and Mr. Ferrero is the boss of Ferrero).

    [–]ghettobx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    I love that. Don't see it nearly as much these days.

    [–]loveypower 4 points5 points  (2 children)

    why do people ALWAYS think there's a gotcha. he's an artist using every day items in his medium. check out his IG of the same name.

    [–]One_pop_each 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    People want to think they’re smarter than they are. Like you can’t fool them with ads.

    Ads don’t have to be hidden. They literally will interrupt your youtube vids and slap you in the face. Idk why people think they have to be sneaky.

    [–]musicaldigger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    that sounds suspiciously like an ad...

    [–]Cetun 9 points10 points  (1 child)

    Seeing as there is Campbells soup in there the answer is no. Campbells isnt owned by anyone else and they own their soups obviously, Pepperidge Farm, Pace, and some Danish cracker company. All those other brands are not related to anything Campbells owns, and Campbells isnt owned by any conglomerates that own those other brands. So that alone should be a give away.

    [–]ghettobx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    I'm impressed, good for Campbell -- didn't know they were fully independently-owned. As a kid, I just remember seeing so many of their commercials.

    [–]electricdwarf 4 points5 points  (3 children)

    That's what I was thinking lol.

    [–]GlucoseGlucose 7 points8 points  (2 children)

    All owned by different companies

    Campbell’s — Campbell’s

    Jif — Smucker’s

    Kraft — Kraft-Heinz

    Barilla — Barilla

    Chef Boyardee — ConAgra

    Maruchan — Toyo Suisan

    Spam — Hormel

    Nutella — Ferrero

    [–]ghettobx 3 points4 points  (1 child)

    I'd be interested to see who owns those companies.

    [–]TheRealAlexisOhanian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    They’re all publicly traded companies, except for Barilla and Ferrero which are still owned by families

    [–]Ivegoneinsane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    [–]Ferocetis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Oh, lord, my mistake. I thought you begun painting altogether a month ago.

    [–]I_Walk_The_Line__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    For your next masterpiece, you should do a painting of your haul of goods from a trip to Trader Joes and post it to r/traderjoes. You'll get all the karma.

    [–]AvasGramma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    I don't know anything about art. I either like it or I don't. I inherited an old family painting that sits under my downstairs where I store Christmas decorations. I'm too embarrassed to take it in for an authentication and appraisal. I will leave it there until my kids decide what to do with it. All I know about it is it's a Rembrandt and the word "Titus" written on the back. It's covered up well, so it doesn't get damaged.

    [–]Yxcves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I love how you contrasted the natural flowers drying in contrast to the fabricated items that are conserved. Doing it in an oil painting adds to the contrast from old slow live to the new fast one. And it still has this peaceful side to ist through which you give no judgement wich is better. A true combination of both worlds.

    Great work!
