Things sir didier finds on the internet thread

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I found this interesting/entertaining, though I suspect a little bias in terms of the people participating playing up to national stereotypes and the positioning of items in the photographs:

Lots of coke in Mexico, insane amount of beef in Australia, everything out of a box in Japan. African countries are funny to me, just big burlap sacks of rice. Of course America is 100% junk food.

Canada looks ideal.

UK is disappointingly shitty. I love the fact that the Aussie one is basically all things you can Barbecue. Italian one is disappointing (where are the whole hams?) but I find the Mongolian one cool (piles of bread and horsemeat). Most appealing to me is probably the French. However, I think they are playing up, because the only ones with booze are France with a bottle of wine and Germany with loads of beer. You're telling me the Brits or Canadians didnt buy one beer all week?

I wondered about that with Australia too. And Italians with wine

The Mali one is actually for the whole province, not just that family.l

And for a year

American family definitely needs a case of Budweiser somewhere in there.

They could be Mormons. But Alex is right, NO WAY would an Aussie family have all that BBQ meat and no beer to go with it.

EDIT: If you look carefully the Americans actually do have a case of Budweiser!!!

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Also the families vary in size. The Kuwaitis have eight mouths to feed whilst the Mongols have only four. I am not gonna include the African ones because there are no ways of telling which children are part of the family and which are part of the groceries.

LOL, okay I'm partially satisfied. Although any true American would buy cans of Bud, not longnecks.

Aussies need some tall Fosters. I'll just assume there's vegamite in there somewhere. Also, are those aboriginals? They don't look like "real" Aussies.

Finally, it's hard to see behind that cat, but the teenage French girl appears to have very large tits.

I just recently found out that if you want real milk in Mexico, your only chances is going to a farm that has cows. Everything is not real milk, like here in the U.S.

And look at the Americans family, bunch of junk food, but making sure they have the Diet Coke .

 

[ShiftyPowers]

In Wisconsin we get great milk. You can usually get decent stuff anywhere in the USA, but for some reason it's difficult to get good chocolate milk the further I get from the Dairy State.

I had no idea they eat Corn Flakes in Kuwait.

we don't sell alcohol at grocers

And you tried to import that bullshit to Colombia, I'm glad I have a cow in my garage.

 

[Back Door Skip]

I hate milk.


Anyway, it's crazy how much processed food Americans have over the other countries.

And Mexico is the Coke capital of the world.

Fresh milk in every store is a luxury - we have it in England and so do Canada and the States, but even in France they mostly drink that UHT bullshit and outside the developed world you dont stand a chance.

Ahhh, that also explains the lack of beer in the Canadian one. If I was Canadian I would sue the canadian liquor laws in the international court of human rights.

My sister said when she lived in the US nearly all milk there had added sugar.

We have awesome fresh milk in Australia. Most of our produce is good actually. Guess that's an advantage of living in such a deserted country

Depends on the state. The ACT does.
