A Cuban woman residing in the United States has humorously depicted the various reactions of Cubans encountering a U.S. supermarket for the first time. The amusing video, shared by the user known as @nosly162, captures diverse behaviors that many Cubans might find relatable, highlighting with humor the stark contrast between the scarcity in Cuba and the overwhelming abundance in American supermarkets.
One character she portrays is the Cuban who reminisces about family. In a touching moment, she is visibly moved and even tears up in front of shrimp, exclaiming, "I remember my mom."
Another persona she takes on is the "show-off," who eagerly makes a video call to family back in Cuba, excitedly displaying each supermarket product.
The video also features her astonishment at the array of items, as she exclaims with surprise and delight, "How long has it been since I saw tangerines?" This reaction captures the reality for many Cubans who, upon arriving in another country, rediscover basic items that are often scarce or difficult to find in Cuba.
Lastly, she embodies the typical Cuban who insists that "we had everything in Cuba."
The video has sparked laughter among the Cuban community, who resonate with these reactions when exploring U.S. supermarkets.
