With the use of Facebook and Instagram becoming more and more popular in Colombia, it seems like Colombians have no idea how to use it to post relevant and interesting content. They don't know about the American concept of "being basic", so they end up posting things that Americans would otherwise consider basic - like things that are considered "basic" in the USA such as Starbucks coffee and UGG boots.

Not that this is a bad thing, it just means that there is a cultural gap between what makes American vs. Colombians look cool to their followers. For example, Colombians take pride in the little things in life while Americans are more grandiose about the things they post - everything is bigger and better than the last person.
Because of this, you find Colombians posting photos of the most irrelevant things that Americans would not care about such as:
1. A piece of chocolate or candy (why? do other people not have the exclusive privilege of buying $0.10 candy?)
 |
| Wow, candy... so impressive. Not! |
2. Food from home and basic snacks like its the most delicious thing they have ever eating (fruit snacks are not exciting)
 |
| What is so special about chicken and french fries that it needs to be on IG?!? |
3. Gifts from other people that suck (the gifts suck, so what is the point?)
 |
| What is this?! |
4. Taking pictures of the one expensive thing they bought, like the rich.

| It's just water, hun. |
