When Little Potatoes from the South set foot on the snow-covered land of Harbin with curiosity about Northeast culture, they discovered many interesting local characteristics and lifestyles, the most surprising of which was their different Xi of drinking milk. In the South, bagged milk with straws is almost unwritten, while in the Northeast, the practice is a source of confusion. This discovery caused a burst of laughter on the Internet, and also provoked a friendly "food culture war" between netizens in the north and south.
Subtle findings of dietary differences
The little potatoes from the south came to the Northeast just to experience the exotic scenery of the ice and snow. However, when they bought bagged milk from Northeast China and found that there were no straws, their confused expressions instantly became a hot topic on the Internet.
In the South, pouches usually come with a straw because of the hot and humid climate in the South, where people prefer a cool, convenient way of eating. In the Northeast, thick gloves and a cold climate make people more inclined to bite open the package and drink milk, which is more direct and rugged.
A fun field in the online comment area
This cultural difference was quickly taken to the extreme by netizens. Southern netizens said they didn't understand the way of drinking milk in the north and were worried that it would "spray everywhere", while northern netizens proudly demonstrated their "tooth biting skills" and jokingly said that this was a survival skill that they had learned since childhood.
Many netizens began to leave messages to discuss, and netizens in the south joked: "Our bagged milk manufacturers in the south, if there were no straws, would have gone out of business a long time ago." Netizens in the north retorted: "Growing so big, drinking milk has always been bitten directly, where do you need a straw!"
The story of bagged milk and straws
Behind this incident, it actually reflects the long-standing difference in food culture between the north and south of China. In the south, due to the warm and humid weather, people pay more attention to light and convenient diets. On the contrary, the cold weather in the northeast region has made the locals pay more attention to affordability and convenience in their eating Xi.
The manufacturer's little secret
All this seems to be a casual vignette, but it also invisibly reveals a small secret of manufacturers: their sales strategies are different in different regions. The bagged milk in the south comes with a straw, while the northern one does not, which is undoubtedly a deep insight into consumer Xi and precise positioning of the market.
The call for a unified food culture
As this anecdote unfolds, it has also been proposed to accelerate the unification of food culture between the north and the south to reduce such misunderstandings and confusions. Although this proposal is a bit tongue-in-cheek, it also reflects the tolerance and integration of cultural differences in the modern and online society.
The unique charm of the North and South cuisine
Although the voice of unity is endless, many netizens have pointed out that it is these small differences that constitute the breadth and profundity of Chinese food culture. Just like frozen pears to be sliced and plated, sugarcane can be sliced, and roasted sweet potatoes are served with spoons, these different ways of eating are all unique flavors formed by regional culture for a long time.
Reflections on cultural differences
This small incident not only made people discover the difference between the north and the south, but also triggered thinking about the identity and inheritance of local culture. In the wave of globalization, how to maintain local characteristics and how to better integrate traditional Xi with modern life have become issues that we need to discuss together.
This contest between the north and the south of food culture, caused by a small straw, not only caused a joyful storm in the comment area, but also aroused widespread attention to the differences in food culture.
Perhaps, these little things in life are an interesting reflection of our cultural diversity. In this diverse world, understanding and respecting each other's differences, and appreciating these uniqueness, is an important step in building a harmonious society.
