A chef has taken TikTok by storm after revealing an unexpected treasure he stumbled upon in the home and garden aisle of Walmart: Kinder’s seasoning rubs and spices.

Corey (@livefromthekitchen_), a traveling private chef, said he was shopping at Walmart when he noticed something odd in its gardening section. As of Tuesday, his video elaborating on his find had amassed more than 130,700 views.

“Did y’all know Walmart had these?” Corey asked viewers as his camera panned over a wall of Kinder’s seasonings and rubs. “Am I the only person who didn’t know this?”

Walmart offers a variety of seasonings in the gardening department.

Corey and numerous other Walmart customers claim that these spice rubs are essential items found in the home and garden department of Walmart.

On one hand, this is quite logical. After all, Walmart has its outdoor grills displayed in a nearby area. Therefore, customers interested in smoking or grilling meat probably require some seasonings for the dishes they plan to prepare.

Nonetheless, Corey conveyed a sense of astonishment and wonder regarding his discovery. 

"I guess this is a sign of my age, considering how thrilled I get over things like this," he remarked.

He mentioned Kinder’s Greek blend barbecue rub, along with its habanero pineapple, citrus and garlic mixed with jalapeño, smoked onion, and black cherry chipotle.

In his video, Corey suggested that some of these seasonings were “new” or he wasn’t aware of their existence. If you can’t make it to the store in person, though, Walmart sells many of the same flavors online. While prices may vary by state, most six-ounce bottles cost roughly $5, and at least one of the brand’s slightly larger bottles (which was eight ounces) cost about $14 online.

Surprised by this discovery, the chef inquired if other Walmart customers were aware that the store offered Kinder's brand seasonings in bulk.

"Hey, did you guys realize these were hidden back here?" he inquired.

What exactly is Kinder’s? 

The California-based company is recognized for offering a variety of blends, marinades, rubs, and spices.

To help out customers who don’t know what to prepare, Kinder’s website even has a page of recipes utilizing its various seasonings. In November, a reporter for Tasting Table tried and ranked 13 seasonings she said she was sent by Kinder’s. 

Certainly, it appears that the brand has made a positive impact on the author. 

"While each of them was certainly good, there were a couple that truly amazed me with their impact," she noted. "I was even taken aback by how impressive the company's basic seasonings were." 

For those who want to try Kinder’s for themselves, Walmart isn’t the only retailer to sell Kinder’s products. You can buy many of their products at stores including Amazon, Costco, and Sam’s Club.

Audiences are equally amazed by the chef's discovery. 

In the comments beneath Corey’s video, numerous Walmart customers expressed that this was their first encounter with the store's secret gems.

"I'll really miss TikTok because I wouldn't have discovered this otherwise," remarked one user.

"Another person chimed in, asking, 'I was curious about where everyone is sourcing these from.'" 

"I can hardly contain my excitement now that I've discovered this," commented a third viewer. 

Some individuals proudly identified themselves as Walmart enthusiasts, claiming to be well-versed in all that the store provided. 

"I realized that after walking around and exploring the entire store," one woman confessed. 

“Yes friend,” another echoed. “I be all up in Walmart’s business.”

“Catch em at the right time and they be on the clearance aisle,” a third viewer shared.

In light of this news, several viewers enthusiastically revealed their cooking plans using Kinder’s seasonings. 

“I need tequila lime!” one woman said. “Anyone remember Tyson’s tequila lime chicken wings?”

“Wings finna go crazyyyy now,” another added. 

"A third user commented, 'The black cherry chipotle is incredible when used on ribs!'"
