Two wide-eyed American tourists have become an overnight internet sensation after documenting their first-ever trip to a British Asda supermarket, and their reactions are absolutely priceless.
In a viral video that's captured the hearts of Brits everywhere, the pair can be seen wandering through the aisles of what they describe as an "alien" shopping experience, completely mesmerised by offerings that are utterly commonplace to UK shoppers.
The Great Crisp Conundrum
Their adventure began in the snack aisle, where they encountered what can only be described as pure bewilderment at Britain's crisp selection. "Pickled Onion? Prawn Cocktail? What are these flavours?" one exclaimed, holding up packets like archaeological artifacts. The concept of crisp varieties beyond standard potato chips left them both confused and curiously excited.
British Treats That Baffled the Americans
- Jaffa Cakes: The age-old British debate - is it a cake or a biscuit? - suddenly became an international crisis as the Americans tried to categorise this orangey-chocolatey delight.
- Irn-Bru: Scotland's other national drink prompted reactions ranging from curiosity to suspicion at its bright orange hue.
- Yorkshire Tea: The simple tea bag became a symbol of Britishness that both impressed and perplexed our overseas visitors.
The Legendary Meal Deal Revelation
Perhaps the most mind-blowing moment came when they discovered Asda's meal deal section. The concept of getting a sandwich, snack, and drink for a set price seemed almost too good to be true. "You mean I can get all this for £3.50?" one asked in disbelief, as if uncovering some secret British shopping hack that the rest of the world had been missing out on.
The video has sparked thousands of comments from Brits delighting in seeing their everyday shopping through fresh eyes. Many have welcomed our American friends to the wonders of British supermarket culture, while others have suggested they try Greggs or a proper British chippy for their next cultural adventure.
Their final verdict? British supermarkets are "like a treasure hunt" where every aisle holds new surprises - from the practical to the completely puzzling. The experience has left many wondering what British shoppers might find equally fascinating during their first trip to an American grocery store.
