Devin and Andy head to <a href="https://faoschwarz.com/">FAO Schwarz</a> in Rockefeller Center. Will the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVz1kBnIDd0">Schwar(t)z</a> be with them? Is this toy store overwhelming in a good way, just overwhelming, or not overwhelming enough? Are the toy demonstration vibes more state fair or uncanny sci-fi? Are you tempted by this magic <a href="https://faoschwarz.com/products/marvins-magic-snow">snow</a>? Does the floor piano live up to its star turn in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF7-rz9nIn4">Big</a>?

The NYC Souvenir Store Shopping Experience

Full Carts is a podcast about shopping experiences. In each episode, hosts Devin and Andy visit a store and discuss what it was like, along with any thoughts and memories that get churned up. They then distill their observations into a highly subjective Cart Score of 1-4 Carts: How well did it work for them? The show is founded on an appreciation of the human desire to understand, express, and improve ourselves through our things, and an affection for the people and places behind memorable shopping moments. Affable consumption under capitalism.
