So, let me just say this: As a mom on Long Island, I’ve lived through enough grocery store chaos with swarms of angry holiday shoppers, toddlers knocking over entire stack of cakes in the bakery section, tampon wrappers spilling out of my purse at checkout – all of the things.
But never, NEVER, have I been chased out of the produce aisle by a woman yelling about the price of immigrants, Joe Biden, and the price of peaches.
This mom was not so lucky.
Enter our hero. Lindsy Floyd posted on TikTok about her recent trip to the grocery store with a wholesome mission, to get a little “fun fruit” for the family. We love her already because, yes, we will always have bananas and apples because the kids consume them like oxygen, but sometimes you want to jazz it up for the squad.
As she trolls for some funky fresh fruit, she finds herself in front of the peaches, and that’s when it happens.
Enter a woman in her 60s who’s giving “MAGA rally but make it casual-er Friday.”
You know the type. She sidles up, starts pawing the fruit, and announces, loudly enough for them to hear, “I don’t understand why the prices are so high.”
Ohhh boy. Here we go. That’s the grocery store version of “Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines.”
Normally, these comments fizzle out after a muttered “yeah” from someone else reaching for zucchini.
But not this time. Nope.
She zeroes in on our TikTok renegade like she’s running for office. “Do you know why these peaches are so expensive?” she asks. Twice. Because apparently silence wasn’t a clear enough sign the first time.
Finally Lindsy (@renegadeforjustice) can’t take it anymore.
She puts her peach hunt on pause and hits her back with the DUH of the century: “It’s because Trump is in office.” Aaaaand we’re off!! MAGA Granny wasn’t about to let that one go.
“Uh uh, it’s because of Biden!” she insists.
Of course. Because apparently Joe Biden himself is personally inflating the peach market while tucking immigrants into his cardigan pockets.
At this point,TikTok mom tries to make a graceful exit. But does MAGA Granny let her leave? No. She follows her. THROUGH THE STORE. Calling out “Ma’am! Ma’am!” like she’s about to sell her a Tupperware set.
Honestly, the audacity.
Finally, Grandmama Peach Prices just can’t resist and blurts out her big theory: “It’s because Biden loves the immigrants. He put all the immigrants in the country, and that’s why it’s so expensive.”
Y’all. Y’ALL. I had to put down my coffee when I heard that. First of all, ma’am, peaches are expensive because peaches are bougie because they’re a fun fruit, duh? They’ve always been bougie.
Second, if you’re going to yell your conspiracy theories in the produce section, at least make them make sense. Like, can we get some economic research on Aisle 3 before Nana blames the price of eggs on Taylor Swift?
And here’s the kicker.
Lindsy finally turns around, drops the truth bomb about Trump’s actual track record with women and children, and then mic-drops her way out of the conversation.
AND BECAUSE WE’RE ALL SO TIRED OF THIS, PEOPLE CLAPPED FOR HER.
Actual applause – from strangers in 2025 – in the grocery store, like she just stuck the landing at the Olympics.
Honestly, where was my popcorn?
So yes, I am 100% Team Fun Fruit here.
Because as moms, we know, if she had wanted to be cornered by a loud, relentless human while I’m just trying to buy food, she would have just brought her kids to the store with her. But taking grenades from strangers?
Over peaches? Nope.
In conclusion:
… just buy the damn peaches and leave the politics in the trunk of your car with all the reusable grocery bags you forgot to bring in with you.
And if someone follows you through the produce section yelling “Ma’am! Ma’am!” just remember… you’re allowed to ignore them.
Or better yet, serve up a clapback that will have the other grocery shoppers giving you a standing ovation.
