I guess you’ve never seen the Asian fascination with putting everything in individual plastic wrappers. Definitely not just an “American” thing.
If you’re going to jump on the America Bad train, at least put some fucking effort into it. There’s plenty of non-hypocritical stuff to make fun of.
You assumed that, the murican supermarket and the plastic quantity are two different sentences separated by a comma.
And the murican supermarket is only because I’ve never been in one, nor seen candy packaging of that size.
It’s a singular shelf of candy. This isn’t representative of any market, super or otherwise. A quick trip by your image search engine of choice could probably elucidate the mystery better than a Lemmy shitpost.
I fail to see how that’s relevant. I’m not looking to learn how they look.
I was telling that American supermarket and plastics were not the same sentence and not at all a "murica bad" stereotype that you thought I was getting at. Believe it or not, I have zero interest in trashing the US or its people that I know are a majority of good intelligent peaceful people, I just don’t care and carry on.
