Other people joined in on the fun with one saying they were 'pretty sure that's in the Constitution' in regards to adding melted cheese to any dish.

Another perk people referenced was the ability to get something shipped to you through Amazon or other online retailers within days of ordering.

'Being able to buy basically anything I could possibly want. As someone who lives in a tiny, third-world country, it's almost impossible to get things delivered here from American stores/Amazon. Or it's so expensive it's not really worth it,' one person from Uruguay wrote.

The plethora of grocery stores and pharmacies selling a variety of products was another alluring feature to multiple people who live outside America.

'I'm from India, and I've got to say grocery stores and pharmacies!' One user wrote.

'While I try my best to keep consumption to a minimum, I love the sheer number of choices we have. To me, the freedom to choose between 15 brands of cereal instead of four is WONDERFUL.'

At last! The title:

‘Being able to buy whatever you want!’ Foreigners reveal the most alluring things about America, from being able to get ‘melted cheese on any food’ to the ‘freedom you can enjoy’

Reddit asked it’s non-American users to write what’s appealing about the US
People responded about how citizens could ask for melted cheese on any food
Another popular response was the number of choices offered in grocery stores

Grocery stores was something that amazed Soviet and Eastern Bloc citizens when they came here. I remember years ago reading about Soviet tourist going to grocery stores just to walk around. Ditto for malls and apartment stores.

I tried looking for a Brit choice of ‘Wheet a Bix” in LA. I had to troll massive aisles of American cereal ... which I don’t eat.

Because some people have no family and treat them like children.

Yes. Those are *not* good reasons to move to the U.S.A. Those who fought our American Revolution were here to escape religious tyranny in Europe. They had a good reason for coming here.

If they like it so much why don't they have the courage to turn their country into a replica of the United States rather than coming here and turning the United States into a replica of theirs?

I remember a woman I met back in the
mid 80’s from the USSR who was on a visit...we took her to a mall in Middletown NY *smiles*...just driving there was an experience for her, her head was on a swivel.... we passed a car dealership, she couldn’t get over all the colors.*huge smiles from her*...Then we arrived at the mall ...specifically remember tears (joy)when she was able to select the different size jeans she had to bring home. (8 pairs for others).

I worked with this English guy in Hong Kong years ago. Whenever we we’re ordering lunch he would always, sarcastically, ask me if I wanted melted cheese on that.

To be fair, the reply was almost always yes or of course.

'"You can't buy alcohol in the supermarket [in some states], and it's so annoying!

When I read this I thought "it must be a Frog", and it was!

I live in the only state named after a French king and yes you can buy alcohol almost anywhere it seems.

We had a cousin come from Poland (around the glasnost era), and he would walk around the ShopRite just to gawk.

Can you imagine someone coming here and being ask if they would like to go to Disney and having them reply "lets go visit a grocery store"? It happened.

I guess you have to have your priorities in order.
