Tim speculates that Ozempic-type weight loss drugs could reshape America by making people disgusted by warehouse food culture, joking that Costco should trigger an Exorcist-style reaction once the drugs take hold.
- Ozempic could reshape America and fundamentally change how people relate to food and consumption.
- Nobody on Ozempic would want to go to Costco, unlike porn's effect on a remote Amazon tribe.
- Walking into Costco on Ozempic should trigger revulsion similar to The Exorcist, with food stacked so high it could kill you.
- The Costco experience is like watching San Francisco's needle-strewn streets while 14 years sober—a vision of cultural decline.
- An article describes Costco as a cult: sensory overload, merchandise in cardboard boxes, no signs, everything in the back.
- Tim hopes Costcos become museums, like bars that used to litter America but are now mostly gone.
- In the not-too-distant future, people will reject bulk shopping entirely, deciding against buying 300-piece appetizer boxes.
- Tim's mother once bought a Costco box containing 80 potato puffs, 80 things of other appetizers—too much for any actual party.
