Cultural Scavenger Hunt

Go to Wal-Mart, Target or similar store and try to find all of the items on this list. Using the table, indicate which items were easy versus challenging to find, and try to generate a "count" of how many items (i.e., choices within each category) were available in the store. For example, if there were three different types of "white Barbies" to choose from, you would record "3" in that column. Item Easy Difficult How many?
