    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.

          This is literally representative of the current state of big box stores in the US, which you can confirm by any of the numerous comments here giving their personal accounts.

          Cope harder.

            I wasn’t referring to the prices. I’m not sure how else to explain it, so I guess I’ll just repeat myself and hope it clicks for you?

            A couple of shelves of candy is not representative of what a market - small or large - looks like. Markets sell more than one type of product.

            Any other coping I should be working on, smart ass?

          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.
