> More than anything else, I think the modern American super market would blow the minds of anyone born before 1900 more than any other marvel that exists. Modern American supermarket would blow the minds of anyone from the Warsaw Pact countries ;), up until probably mid 1990's.

There is a video where it literally blows the mind of an immigrant from Cuba: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBA41QgIty8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBA41QgIty8

  Literally literally, or metaphorically literally?

    "It literally blew his mind" doesn't mean what people nowadays think it means :D

    Literally, in that he is unable to process things, just in the same way my fuse blows - it is resettable. Not literallly in the cartoon sense.

  on top of it all, they took him to an Aldi which is pretty small/basic. They should have taken him to a large Central Market.

Still current for some countries: 2 weeks ago, a shopper clearly confused half to death barely manages to make themselves understood to me in 3 words of english: They are asking what is the price of the bag of oranges. Because there were 3 different prices on that price tag. The price, the one if you have the card, the one if you have the app or some other deep magic. (They were not stupid - presumably they could understand on their own the additional price per unit - but most likely not which price this was based on and why...) What a world we live in /s!
