Not being American, I’ve never been to a Wallmart, so I have no idea how big a Wallmart generally is.

The only point of reference I have is the Fairly Odd Parents parody of Wallmart, the “Wall 2 Wall Mart,” which looks to be about as big as the Starship Enterprise and sells things including huge buckets of lard, life-size wax replicas of superheroes, and military helicopters (with missiles sold separately).

Americans always say that Wallmart sells everything, so I have difficulty finding where the truth ends and the exaggeration begins.

There are only like two in my area but they’re about the size of the city of Brussels, and roughly as tall as the Empire State Building (though I’ve heard they get taller).

I’ve been to 5 of the 50 states in the North American Union of North American States and saw exactly zero Wallmarts in none of them, thus I can conclude that Wallmart is not a real business but instead an ideal, a legendary retail lost to history, akin to the cities of Atlantis and El Dorado.
