Watch an episode of the show “Food Unwrapped,” also found under the name “Food CIA.” (this is NOT the
show “Unwrapped” with Marc Summers. If you’re not hearing English accents, you’re on the wrong show).
Each episode consists of, generally, 3 interspersed segments on how products came to be available at the
British Supermarket.
Updated on sources:
It is available through HBO Max, YouTube, (Links to an external site.) Apple TV+, and Dailymotion. There may
be others, please share them with me so I can share them with the class.
For YouTube, important: be sure to get FULL segments ~6 minutes
For Dailymotion (and other internet options), best to Google “food unwrapped s0Xe0X” s=series and
e=episode; s0X is replaced by s01-s16 and e0X is replaced by e01-e16 (most series have less episodes)
Selection:
