A Latino living in the United States has taken to TikTok to share the products he vows never to purchase again from a supermarket, based on his personal experience with these foods. The first item on Roberto Alfonzo's (@robertoalfonzov) list is gallon milk. "These gallon milks are the worst thing you can buy; it's overly processed and terrible for your stomach," comments the young man, originally from Venezuela, in the video titled: "Foods I Would Never Buy in U.S. Supermarkets."
After gallon milk, he showcased some sugary energy drinks. "These drinks are poison in a bottle. This isn't a beverage; it's pure sugar. This sends me running to the bathroom," he declared.
Additionally, he mentions white eggs, describing them as "hormones in circles," arguing that when he bought them upon arriving in the United States, they caused him to break out in acne.
Finally, the TikToker discusses some candies he calls "stomach destroyers," claiming that after trying them once, he suffered severe stomach pain that lasted all night. The video has sparked numerous reactions, with some users supporting his claims and others defending some of the products.
