Daydreaming of Europe, reality hits from @dangerbean_55

The creator portrays a North American man in a convenience store who begins daydreaming about what his life would be like if he were born in Europe. A montage of beautiful European scenery plays, showing an idealized lifestyle. The dream sequence culminates in a hypothetical interaction where he tries to order a 'white monster' energy drink, which confuses the European server, shattering the illusion and snapping him back to his reality outside the convenience store, where he happily embraces his American identity.
