Luckily for them, [Jimmy Kimmel](http://time.com/4826393/jimmy-kimmel-valedictorian-speech/) has some ideas about what [the future of Whole Foods a la Amazon](http://time.com/money/4825394/amazon-buying-whole-foods-change-store-customers-prices/) will look like. In a segment aired on _Jimmy Kimmel Live!_ on Tuesday night, Kimmel imagined what visiting an Amazon-owned Whole Foods would be like, with hilarious results. After receiving a hummus sample, Kimmel was offered the option to get it delivered monthly to his home, shopping suggestions based on what other customers bought, and an in-person review of the product. Staying true to Amazon’s latest business developments, Kimmel eventually received his hummus via drone and was offered the option to join “Whole Foods Prime” which besides costing $600, includes “a free streaming series from the Duplass brothers.” Watch Kimmel experience Amazon Whole Foods above. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4826531/jimmy-kimmel-amazon-whole-foods/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4826531/jimmy-kimmel-amazon-whole-foods/"},"headline":"Watch Jimmy Kimmel Have a Terrible Time at 'Amazon Whole Foods'","datePublished":"2017-06-21T15:25:48.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:44:44.480Z","description":"Complete with Whole Foods Prime, drones and customer reviews","url":"https://time.com/4826531/jimmy-kimmel-amazon-whole-foods/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Amazon","Late Night","Whole Foods","Jimmy Kimmel","Late Night Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4826531/jimmy-kimmel-amazon-whole-foods/","name":"Watch Jimmy Kimmel Have a Terrible Time at 'Amazon Whole Foods'"}}]}] ```
