I’m in Europe, where american football isn’t a thing and the NFL is nothing we care about.
We also tend to have better standards to serve and eat our food.
So why am I to find this crap in Lidl?
Taylor Swift. I think it’s cause of her that we’re getting hoodies and socks in Aldi with NFL logos etc, they seemed to appear about the time she got with that lad.
I don’t get it?
Is this an appliance you use BEFORE you eat? or AFTER?
That is supposed to be a snack tray. The top of the helmet is an ice bucket and the face guard has two small trays for - I don’t know… - peanuts and salty snacks?
I couldn’t tell … I thought it looked like some sort of strange hospital bed pan … or a toddlers toilet trainer
And if they were those things, I thought it was funny that it was all sponsored by the NFL … and judging by the way the US is going, I wouldn’t be surprised if this contraption was meant for toilet use.
Its for when you get too many cerebral traumas and cant get yourself out of bed to use the washroom any longer.
Use it as a dice tower.

Shitting on other people’s lifestyles and the things they like because you don’t like them and don’t understand them seems kind of antithetical to the philosophy of this community as I understand it. No? Would it be appropriate for Americans to start mocking English football and their scarves?
Scarves?
What year is this?
Wait is there no rule here
Lidl sells some random crap is the rule.
The rule is post before you leave.
The title is just a convention.
I’m kind of glad tbh, this community constantly shows up on the front page and I gets tiring seeing so many posts contain “rule”.
Do you ever eat garbage?
This is what you serve it in.

You’d be surprised. I know a number of people that organize Super Bowl watch parties every year here in Germany.
I knew someone from Newcastle who was a bigger Green Bay Packers fan than a lot of the Americans I’ve met. And they had no connection to Green Bay; they just liked the franchise.

I can’t post a picture without doxxing myself. But I found a Star Trek Picard ship in the kids toys section of a local grocery store. I have no idea why it exists in the first place, why it was in among the kids toys or why it was in a local grocery store here in Europe. Weirdest thing I saw in a long time. Must be for all those European kids who are a fan of Star Trek Picard?
Appetizers tray and ice bucket combo.

In 2024, three NFL games were played in London, one in Germany. In 2025 scheduled games include the same plus a game in Madrid and Dublin.

So it is “a thing”, but not caring about it is understandable.
Retailers don’t bring in products unless they have reason to believe they can sell it.
and the NFL is nothing we care about.
The viewership numbers of a game that happens at lunch time says overwise
So why am I to find this crap in Lidl?
Because it’s fucking Lidl.
And it was being treated as a poor taste novelty by everyone.
To be fair, this isn’t exactly an uncommon thing for Lidl. Have something absolutely insane for no reason whatsoever.
Poor taste plastic novelties are sadly as American as Apple Pie.
Give me the apple pie, keep this trash.
I don’t get that saying, apple pie is a thing in many places

A lot of it is from early colonialism a la Johnny Appleseed and that, at the time, cider was a preferred drink over water.
Jean Kayak picks up his Applejack…
