A routine trip to Walmart in Wisconsin turned unexpectedly strange when a local Reddit user witnessed a bizarre and uncomfortable interaction involving a politically-charged shopper and a jaw-dropping cart full of baby oil.
According to the Reddit post, the situation unfolded when a man began harassing Wisconsin Walmart store employees with “MAGA politics.” The poster didn’t go into detail about the political rants, but made it clear that the man wasn’t just expressing his views, and he was confronting workers and cashiers with them.
As if that wasn’t enough of a scene, the man’s shopping cart reportedly raised even more eyebrows. He was buying 13 bottles of baby oil and some children’s clothing. Understandably, the strange combination had people wondering what in the world was going on.

The Redditor, clearly perplexed, whispered to their daughter, “What the hell is the deal with all the baby oil?”—a fair question in this context. But things got even weirder when the man overheard the comment and felt the need to respond. Apparently, he claimed his skin was “extremely dry” and that he has to use baby oil constantly.
“It was one of the most awkward situations,” the poster concluded. Of course, the internet couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share their thoughts on the strange situation, as the post began to pop off on Reddit.
“Well I can’t unsee that. Goodnight and good luck,” one person wrote. “At least he’s not slathering on the Vicks. That was our childhood drug of choice,” another joked. “Boomers are like one of the hardest generations to treat/deal with. They think they know everything, don’t want to listen,” another comment read. A third person stated, “I mean even without Diddy seeing someone at that age buying that much baby oil would raise some questions.”
Between the unsolicited political speeches and the massive baby oil stockpile, it sounds like a scene straight out of a cringe comedy. It may be that the man found a remedy that works for him and sticks to it. On the other hand, the situation is enough to warrant a double-take, especially when you add in the political ranting and raving. Just another day in Walmart, Wisconsin.
