IS RETURNING YOUR SHOPPING CART A SPORT OF THE FUTURE?
Written by Jesse Skelley on August 19, 2025
Move over, cornhole and pickleball — we may have found the sport of the future: German ladies returning shopping carts. A recent clip from the German game show Schlag Den Star went viral for featuring women launching shopping carts back into their corrals with laser-like precision and sheer competitive fire. Forget the Savannah Bananas taking over ESPN; this should be the primetime slot.
There’s something uniquely entertaining about international game shows. Maybe it’s because we don’t understand the language, so the banter sounds even more intense. Watching two German women square off with shopping carts feels like the perfect blend of absurdity and genuine competition.
If Schlag Den Star leaned into this event and built a spin-off featuring fiery retirees duking it out in cart-return duels, we’d have an instant cult classic.
