In 1965, grocery shopping got a high-octane upgrade with the premiere of Supermarket Sweep on ABC. Now fans have a chance to relive the high stakes and questionable food safety of the game show. As Hypebeast reports, 15 episodes of Supermarket Sweep are available to stream on Netflix.

The show's appearance on Netflix follows news of a new reboot. Earlier in 2020, ABC, the show's original network, picked up a revamped version of Supermarket Sweep hosted and executive-produced by Saturday Night Live-alum Leslie Jones. A release date for the revival hasn't been announced.

The show has been rebooted several times, and the episodes currently streaming on Netflix date back to the 1990s. In every version of the show, contestants compete in a combination of trivia games and speed shopping challenges to take home a cash prize.

If you can't think of anything more entertaining than watching people in Dickies fight over expired produce, you can head to Netflix to start binge-watching all 15 episodes. For more behind-the-scenes secrets from the show's production, check out these facts about Supermarket Sweep.
