Filming a supermarket aisle, the American said: "My beige flag is that I am wildly entertained by walking around grocery stores in other countries. And I will not apologise for it!"
After exploring the grocery store in Fiji, Lex wrote: "Checking out grocery stores is one of my favourite free activities that you can find anywhere!
"I think it’s really interesting to see what unique foods they carry and to see what the locals eat.
"This Fiji supermarket was a mix of mainly Australian and Asian products with a few made right here in Fiji!"
The short clip blew up on social media, with users crying they were not the only ones enjoying the quirky activity.
One person wrote: "I thought I was the only one! Let's start a club where we just travel to other countries and wander around all the grocery stores we can find."
Another added: " I need to read every label. You can just dump me there, I can easily spend hours and feel perfectly happy.
"I always bring supermarket things back home so I can cook with them."

A third agreed: "I love it too! I feel we learn a lot about the country, culture and lifestyle from grocery stores.
"It gives you an idea how it is to be a local there."
It comes after a holiday guru warned Brit holidaymakers not to charge their phones using USB ports at airports.
In a video uploaded onto the Travel Pirates TikTok account, a travel search platform for holidaymakers, the expert states flyers should be wary of threats to their phone's security.
That's because the popular airport charging stations are a beacon for vicious malware and monitoring software to hack into your phones.
Pointing to one of the USB ports, the expert (@travelpiratesus) said: "Do not touch those, do not put your phone in those, do not charge your phone there. You will regret it."
She goes on to inform viewers that the FBI has issued an urgent warning about juice jacking at airports and stations.
The term "juice jacking" is used to describe the process of cybercriminals using USB ports and station at airports to steal your data.
"Fun, right?" the expert joked in her post.
