This reminds me of an old and probably somewhat racist joke, involving a person from [insert low income country here] moving to America and marveling at an American supermarket. Food is so easy to get in America, not like in the old country, and they go so far as to put pictures -- in color -- on the cans and jars showing you what's inside so you don't even have to be able to read the language.

This can has a picture of green beans on it and inside are green beans.

This can has a picture of a bowl of soup on it and inside is that very soup.

This box has a picture of a plate of cookies on it, and inside is a plastic tray with three perfect rows of those exact cookies.

This can has a picture of a baby on it and --

That person went straight back to the airport and booked a one way flight back to the old country at that very moment. All those things people in the old country told them about Americans were true.
