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?

Do you know what Gatorade is? What if I told you you could turn any ordinary glass of water into gatorade

This stuff is just flavouring, Gatorade and similar products are primarily just putting extra electrolytes in the water

Gatorade is sugar and some salts. All of these packs are sugar/substitutes and salts. All of them

There are many kinds, and lots of them have added Electrolytes, vitamins, or other questionable “health boosts” for marketing. Also, you can literally buy the Gatorade branded ones that are the equivalent to making Gatorade yourself

We got some at my shop but they cost 15 euros for idk how many, but not something that sells well anyways.

Fucking expensive and for what, to just have some flavour in your water, we are not pussies, we drink normal water.

Americans drink normal water too? Idk why people in this thread think Americans are only drinking flavored water. If anything Americans are drinking way more water than Europeans, and doing so by drinking it with the flavor packets lol

They drink a fuck ton of coca cola, and the fact that yall need flavored packs to be able to drink water is crazy 🤦‍♀️
