“This is insane!” American woman shocked and surprised by a simple experience so common in India

For many Indians, the convenience of ordering online and receiving deliveries within 10 minutes is routine. However, for an American woman, it turned out to be a remarkable experience—something she hadn’t encountered in any other country, including the United States. That sense of amazement is what an American content creator, known as “Spicygori” on Instagram, highlights in a video reflecting on her experiences of living in India.The incident that shocked herLiz is married to an Indian and lives in India. She keeps documenting and sharing her everyday experiences in the country. This time she shares a moment that shows the rapid development of India’s urban lifestyle. The video she shared talks about the safe. She begins the video with, “India this is insane! I have never seen anything like this in the US or anywhere else in the world. Yesterday I was sitting at a cafe and my phone battery was 2 percent, so I go online, order a charger and no joke, the charger arrived in less than 10 minutes.”She is pleasantly shocked and says, “How are things getting delivered so fast.”No wonder! Liz’s reaction is both amusing and relatable. She is so surprised that she calls the experience “insane.” But the video doesn’t stop here. She compared India with other countries and went on to say that she has never seen anything like it in the United States or anywhere else in the world. She further explains that in her home country, ordering something as simple as buying a charger would typically involve a trip to a store or waiting two to three days for delivery through platforms. But getting a charger in less than 10 minutes is something she can never recover from. Almost unimaginable for her!India’s “quick commerce” platforms such as Blinkit, and Zepto, among others have completely changed how urban consumers shop in 2026. Be it groceries or gold coins or electronics or undergarments, the instant delivery apps promise everything within 10–15 minutes. It’s a claim that, as her story shows, is often fulfilled.But beyond technology, what makes her video relatable is the human perspective behind it. It’s not just about speed but also about the cultural difference. Her amusing video is a perfect example of how something ordinary for crores of Indians can still feel revolutionary to someone from a developed country like the United States.Today, experiences like these show how countries like India are setting new benchmarks in certain aspects of digital living. In a simple moment of needing a phone charger, she found herself witnessing a modern India that has outsmarted many developed nations. So yes, sometimes, it takes an outsider’s perspective and such videos to appreciate where we live and remind us just how extraordinary the everyday can be.
