@Brad Koehn ☑️ I laughed to tears yesterday looking at it. Where it was posted on Twitter, many an American got confused and didn't immediately get it was a parody.
@Brad Koehn ☑️ For me, it's the combination of: - Made-up region names ("Plain Plains" is my favorite with "Gulf Toast" and "Mid-Up" in tow). - Made-up supermarket brand name and logos ("Food mommy" for the win and "Chunk-E Friend" as a close second). - Except Kroger that still sounds like it could be completely made up. - Actual Americans not immediately realizing this map was made-up from top to bottom because everything is still in the bounds of American culture.

I grew up with Piggly-Wiggly, Pick ‘n Save, and more.

Now Piggly-Wiggly definitely sounds made up, I can even picture a fake cartoon pig that would go with it.
