You're going to let the ignorance of a few people dictate the way you feel about an entire country? I think there's something wrong with you.

They'll have running water and electricity before you know it.

FYI dumbass, America isn't in Europe. You can't just get on a train in Texas and magically be in another country (besides Mexico) in less than an hour. There are millions of people who will never have a chance to visit another state, let alone another country.

I am aware of that.

You can't get on a train in London and be in another country in less than an hour either. What's your point exactly?

That doesn't really excuse glaring ignorance does it? I've never been to the United States but it would be pretty stupid of me to say "do you guys have electricity over there?"

This family was a bit backwoods, but some brands are uniquely American. No, Coke isn't one of them.

Oh, and Coke tastes differently in different countries. American Coke has corn syrup in it.

These are simple people who clearly aren't well educated or well traveled. It's funny that they think Coke is something specific to the United States but really, it inspires hatred?

Not independently but collectively with other examples of stupidity/gross ignorance. Yes.

Exactly. I really think it demonstrates how this family could be duped.

Yes, this is what I wrote in another thread. With the Coke line, the sister is giving us evidence of her own innocence & naiveté. It's a conscious little detail that she adds in.
