We're lucky, that microsoft isn't a grocery store... Video reached 15 million views on YouTube in the first 30 days.


Ellen tested Microsoft mogul Bill Gates' knowledge of everyday grocery store prices with a game of "Bill's Grocery Bills."

We're going to test Bill Gates knowledge of some everyday items that you get at the supermarket.
When's the last time that you have been at a supermarket?
A long time ago.
This will be interesting.
If you can guess three out of the five products within $1 of each one, the audience will get something, OK?
If you get all of them, we'll pay off your children's student loans.

No danger there.
No.


TWitch is going to be our prize model.
And here we go.

There is Rice-A-Roni right there--
--the San Francisco treat, of course.
How much do you think Rice-A-Roni would be, within $1.
Hm. $5.
[LAUGHTER]
OK.
The audience didn't like that.
Let's see.
Ready?
Oh, it's $1.

What a bargain.
I'll take five.
I know.
[LAUGHTER]

Tide Pods.
You've been hearing a lot about those lately.
What do you think?
$4.
Aw.
No, no.
They want me to go higher.
Yeah.
Let's go with $10.
$10.
All right.

Ready?

$19.97.

[BUZZER]
It's expensive to do laundry.
I'll take a half.
It's very costly.
OK.

Now, very important
This is my best chance with this one.
Really?
Yeah.
Because you floss?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
I floss as well.
It's very important to keep your gums in good health.
That's floss.
How much would you say that floss is?
I would say, $4.
Look at you!
$3.78!

You need to get both of these within $1 so that they get something.
That's going to be hard.
If not, you got to run to your car.

Totino's Pizza Rolls.
One bag of Totino pizza rolls.
Totino's, have some tonight--
--hot from the oven.
I'll go with $22.
No!
No, no.
$15.
$15.
No!
$7.
Lower, lower.
$8.
All right.
Let's try it. $8.
$8.98!
[DING]
Totino's.
That's two in a row.
Phew.
All right.

How do you feel about this?
This is TGI Friday's Frozen Spinach & Artichoke Dip.
It's 8 ounces.
8 ounces.
It's branded.
You know, you guys think less than $10?
Yes, we think it is less.
Like, $7?
Who said what?
$5.
He's saying, $5.
[SHOUTING] $6!
Somebody's - $5 or $6.
$6.
I would go with maybe lower than $5.
Wow.
OK, we'll go with $4.
Yeah, go with $4.
Good job.

That was a big help.

I want to thank Bill.
I want to thank Bill.
Thank you so much for being here.

And you probably want to know what you won, right?

Well, you're all going to come back for one of my "12 Days of Giveaways."
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
Ding dong ding.

God [BLEEP]!
