I don’t understand what is upsetting in your comment for some.
Some heavily processed foodstuffs are unique to the US and doesn’t sell anywhere else, to the point as someone who has lived in a bunch of countries across Europe, I have no idea what a rice-a-roni is either. I imagine every country has its own food types not many other countries sell. I would be surprised if French cuisine stopped at croissants as well.
Maybe people don’t like pointing it out that US culture is not the default across the world and people have different cultural lenses with which they view the world?
I don’t know, man. I mean, I know about that last part, that is definitely a thing. I don’t know if that’s it or if the perception here is different or what. I wasn’t even trolling, I’m mildly curious about Rice-a-roni now. Just mildly enough not to google it. Maybe the Carrefour versus Pepsi thing reads as a Europe vs the US thing? I hadn’t even considered that until just now and it seems hilarious.
For the record, we obviously get a ton of cereal, including very sugary cereal. You can get those pillowy things with nutella inside them, which are less cereal and more a way to pretend you’re having breakfast when you’re really just inhaling a full box of chocolate cookies.
It is an American brand of oatmeal. You cook them to make a porridge.
They also make cereals (Capn Crunch), snack bars, Rice-a-roni, Tropicana, etc.
We don’t have Cap’n Crunch either. And I don’t know what Rice-a-roni is. If Tropicana is juice we do get that. Pepsi drinks are a thing worldwide.
As for porridge, the only reason I’ve ever seen it is I know people with medical issues.
