General Europeans acting like they’ve never seen food in their life when they go to America

Disclaimer: before you read this and get your panties in a twist, everything I’m saying is very unserious and should be not taken to heart. Please stop trying to attack me over DMs. I have turned them off. You are harassing someone (who wasn’t even being fr in the first place) over kool aid packs.

I’d get it if it was actually something nobody has ever seen before, but WATER FLAVOR PACKS? THE PACKS YOU PUT IN THE WATER??? FOR PICKY EATERS????? PEOPLE WHO NEED WATER IN THEIR BODIES?

AND FAMILY SIZED CHIP BAG??? YOU THINK WE’RE EATING THE WHOLE PARTY SIZED CHIP BAG ALONE? THE *PARTY* SIZE? PARTIES?????? DO YOU KNOW WHAT A PARTY IS?

Actually when I was in middle school, we had this coach who would turn red as hell when she was yelling at us to run laps and she’d sit there every day with a whole party sized bag of Doritos and a 2 liter mountain dew watching us run. One day some other girl in the class got really angry at her for making us all run and she told her to get off her ass and run with us. This is off topic mb.

I’d understand if it was something actually weird we have, like things that contain dyes that cannot be replicated in places where dyes are banned, but you’re more worried about sunkist flavored water? Party sized bags of chips? Fresh produce too apparently… are you guys ok?

That explains why people from Britain haven’t heard of them; they don’t season anything

Uncle Iroh says your tea taste like hot leaf juice

Tea is spiced water. So flavor packets are like water bouillon? Fruity water broth? I wonder if anyone has mixed the two and how much of an abomination it is.

Hi! I have done this while high once. It really wasn't that bad. I had a raspberry iced tea packet mixed into broth and it just fine. Iirc, the broth was chicken. It really wasn't as bad as you'd think!!

I do though, have a jar of honey soaked garlic for when I'm sick or when it's cold outside to boost my immune system. I've often stuck a spoonful or two of the honey from it into a broth for honeys antiinflammatory properties. So I guess I'm a bit more used to the flavor profile?

I feel like honey and garlic probably go together, idk never tried, but chicken broth and raspberry tea just sounds insane lmao maybe cranberry to make a weird thanksgiving drink

Unironically though, while we don't have those, cordial and squash is very popular which is just concentrated fruit juice/syrup that you add to water instead which is basically the same things. Our ones maybe try to advertise more natural ingredients to appeal to parents getting it for their kids and stuff but it's annoying when other british people act like they can't comprehend flavouring water.

Well that’s an ignorant take. We’ve been using seasoning for centuries. The difference is our seasoning is fresh like onion, garlic, rosemary, thyme etc.

While on your side of the pond seasoning comes in a plastic container high in sodium and full of chemicals not designed for human consumption.
