American shopper cops a surprising backlash after posting her 'shocking' video about Coles products

An excited American who shared a video about the things she finds 'shocking' in Australian supermarkets was quickly shut down by offended Aussies. 

American expat Tate shared the clip of different things she found strange while walking around a Coles in Melbourne on Thursday.

The first thing that caught her attention was the number of Tim Tam flavours available.

'There are so many Tim Tams,' she said.

Also on her list was a shelf of Vegemite, the large selection of fresh produce, including seasonal chestnuts, the variety of cordials and Kewpie mayonnaise.

'Wild!' she commented.

Another product she found odd was a packet of Golden Gaytime bites, saying: 'This brand is everywhere'.

Tate also highlighted how capsicums are called bell peppers in the US.

The final items on her list were Allen's snake lollies and Coles' Mix N' Save Mochi fridge.

However, Tate's excitement was misinterpreted by annoyed Aussies who shot her down in the comments. 

'Things in an American store that shock me as an Australian - guns,' one person bluntly commented.

'Don't ever call them bell peppers again - you live in Australia now, you call them capsicum,' another said.

'So many Tim Tams? Have you seen how many Oreos you guys have?' a third wrote.

Another said: 'Americans coming to Australia and expecting everything to be the same, they really do think USA is the world.' 

Tate responded in a follow-up video to the comment: 'Girl, shut up, the Australian shop (sic) are the best.'

Tate responded to the hate comments (above) in a follow-up video, saying she wasn't trying to criticise Australian supermarkets

'Girl, no, because I never said that,' Tate said.

'Everyone seems to be confused. Tell me where in this video I said that your foods or shops are worse?

'I literally was saying, "oh my God, this is so exciting, so new".

'If you went to a grocery store in another country, things are gonna shock you. Like, I've never seen Vegemite on an aisle shelf in a grocery store. That's shocking!

'That doesn't mean I hate all of the foods that are here. Or that America is better or has better foods, no.

She added: 'I was even saying like some of the things are so good and I wish we had them.

'So before you guys come for me and start bringing up crazy comments - like, people talking about "oh you're just upset cause we don't have guns".

'Like, what!? What!? Get it together.'
