The reaction of a Cuban who just arrived in Europe at a supermarket: "I was taken in."

A video shared on TikTok by the Cuban user @creadorcubano has sparked hundreds of reactions after showcasing the surprise and amazement of a newcomer to Europe at the vast array of products in a supermarket.

In the video, the young man cannot hide his disbelief at the abundance of food and essential goods available on the shelves, a stark contrast to the reality he faced in Cuba.

"Is all of this ham?" exclaims the Cuban as he walks through the deli section, where he discovers an unusual variety for him.

With a mix of surprise and excitement, he comments, "They had me fooled," implying that in Cuba, he never imagined the abundance he would find abroad. The expression has gone viral on social media, and many Cubans have shared similar feelings about their experiences of emigrating.

In Cuba, state-run stores are often understocked or limited in product variety, and shopping options are restricted, particularly for imported goods.

This reality has led many Cubans to be surprised by the variety of food and goods available in other countries. For them, visiting a foreign supermarket becomes a revealing experience and, in some cases, an emotional one.

The video has gathered thousands of views and comments from other Cubans who relate to his reaction. While some appreciate the opportunity to learn about different realities through these videos, others express the sadness of living in a nation where access to basic goods is a constant struggle.

This type of social media content has become a window for Cubans seeking to understand and compare their circumstances with those in other places, especially when they emigrate in search of better living conditions.
