Many years ago, my friend was visiting America from Asia,
for the very first time. He said he wanted to go with
me to the
supermarket, so I invited him along. As he went up &
down the
aisles with me, at the local Giant Food Store, he
constantly
asked me questions about products he saw.
“Vas dis?? Powdered orange juice??” asked my friend
pointing at Tang.
I said, “YeAh, dude. You just add a little water, and
you have
fresh orange juice.”
A few minutes later, in a different aisle, he blurted
out,
“Und vas dis?? Powdered milk?”
pointing at a box of Carnation.
I said, “Yeah, man. You just add a little water, and
you have
fresh milk!”
A few minutes later, in a different aisle, he yelled
out, “Und give a look here!! Baby Powder!! Vat a
country, vat a country!”
