    Oh, so that’s what it looks like inside a murican supermarket. That’s a metric shit ton of plastics from an UE pov.

    I’ve never seen bags like that, some seems dumb with the numbers, 195 or 310 but why not plain and round 200?

      Definitely a US grocery store.

      195 or 310 is piece count. The bags are usually sold by rounded weight (3 or 5lbs).

      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.
