Khloé Kardashian clearly likes to keep her pantry very organized — but critics think she’s gone too far. In a recent video, Khloé gave viewers a tour of her pantry (which is something she said fans have been requesting for years). To some, Khloé’s organizational skills are almost too perfect, to the point that her pantry resembles a supermarket or an airport store.
Khloé said her pantry used to be a garage.
“Welcome to my crib, my pantry crib,” Khloé said in the video. She added that her pantry is “where all the magic happens” — but it wasn’t always!
Before she transformed her pantry into the space that it is today, it was actually a garage. “This area actually was one of my garages,” Khloé explained. “And I said, ‘Who needs a car? We need a bigger pantry.'”
She said she wanted it to feel like a farmers market.
Explaining the vibe she was going for, Khloé said, “I wanted it to look a little farmer’s market-y [and] beautiful.” But some critics don’t think she achieved this goal — to many, it looks a lot like a shop and doesn’t exactly feel homey.
“I thought this was an airport store,” one person reacted on Reddit. Another person wrote, “Where does she keep the shopping carts?”
To a third, it looked more like “a 7/11 set in a nice hotel.” A fourth person described it as “a bodega inside of a pottery barn showroom.”
Khloé explained how she organized the space.
Because her kids are shorter, Khloé said she keeps snacks on the bottom. The foods that are located higher up in the pantry are more “adult-y.” Think: “olives for martinis for Kris Jenner.” Even higher up, Khloé keeps “back stock,” and at the very top, she stores some cake trays. The Kardashians star added that at least one aspect of her pantry probably makes her a bit “relatable.” She has some really healthy food — but also has processed food.
“That’s my life,” Khloé said. “I can’t be full-on Kourtney, but in my soul I try.”
Critics called the pantry ‘excessive.’
Some people wondered why Khloé needs to have so much food in her home. Surely, some of it will go bad before her family gets around to eating it, they pointed out. One person took issue with the fact that Khloé keeps “back stock” in her pantry, calling it “absurd.”
A second critic said the pantry was the size of “an entire supermarket,” while others claimed it was basically the same size as their apartments.
“As someone who can barely afford groceries most weeks that’s insane and i don’t get why they need that much,” another critic pointed out.
Some were not so convinced that Khloé actually uses the pantry. “They use food as a decoration,” one person claimed. Another accused Khloé of just keeping the pantry space “for show.”
But some fans think Khloé should start selling home organization products.
In spite of the critics, some fans loved Khloé’s pantry tour and encouraged her to take on a new side hustle.
“If Khloe ever started selling home organization stuff I would go broke,” one fan commented on the YouTube video.
“Iconic,” a second fan wrote. “Khloe should start her own line of pantry storage. The market needs it.”
One fan noted they like the look of the pantry — but they still think it’s a bit much. “I like it, not going to lie,” the commenter wrote. “But it’s definitely too much for a family of 3. If the staff and friends and other visitors help themselves it makes more sense though.”
