A dead New Zealand supermarket, which was usually very high-end and expensive. Foodtown stores were rarely stand-alone, and were mainly found in shopping malls. All Foodtown stores were converted into Countdown stores before 2010.
I miss Foodtown.

Get the foodtown mug.Not the dying US department store, but in New Zealand and Australia, Kmart is one of the best things to ever exist. So many shiny things for your aesthetic, not to mention the $2 gumball jars. Honestly, we don't even deserve Kmart. Their stores are bright, and always full of basic millennials. They look absolutely nothing like their dying US counterparts. You could fill your house with Kmart furniture and your life would be complete. Where else could you get a 2m rainbow charger for less than $10? What about a unicorn phone ring for $1?
"I really wanna go to Kmart"
"I got this Bluetooth speaker from Kmart, it is sooo cute and only cost $10!"
"Your water bottle is so cool, where did you get it?" "KMART!"

Get the Kmart mug.Something that is very likely to happen.
It is referring to the New Zealand homewares store Briscoes, and the fact that they have a sale almost everyday, and that it would be very unlikely for there not to be one. The iconic Briscoes Lady often presents these sales on TV.

Get the Briscoes Sale mug.A New Zealand supermarket chain that is the exact fucking same as an Australian Woolworths store. Same food, same logo, same colour sceme. But don't try to use your Woolworths Rewards card at a Countdown. Trust me. It won't work.

Get the countdown mug.A word relating to the New Zealand low-cost department store chain The Warehouse. It refers to the fact that the stores are often painted bright red. The stores are also known as the Ware Whare.
"Did you hear that they are building a big red shed down the road?"
"I just bought some jandals from the big red shed for 5 bucks"
