If the first steps to cook due to no money/starvation are eat canned veggies/chicken in the case of that /k/ lad, then no wonder you don't want to even light a stove.
You will eventually get the hang out of it unless you find a great woman who knows how to cook, which are becoming exceedingly rare in the last years.

They probably wanted to belittle you for having disgusting drinks in your country, not that i can talk too much, although italians are known for their excellent soda culture (some of the best mineral/fizzy drinks, corporate or handmade, were italian).

Americans, and ergo every place they touch in which they can get away with ingredients, use high fructose corn syrup like it was low quality sugar, making things double or even triple the sweet which becomes very unappealing at times. Hawaiian Punch tastes decent but uses even more syrup, which makes it a bomb that needs obligatory watering down to even flavor its cherry/pineapple flavor.
It is not uncommon to see people water down drinks (even soda) in some latin american places, but over the time people just gobble it up without that water ratio which sometimes reached 1:1 (one cup of water by one cup of juice or soda).
Another factor was that latin america mandated cane sugar which
was normal to see until americans got their hands in many distributors to manufacture their so-called mexican soda, which is merely their normal 50's soda recipe but priced doubly to scam the unsuspecting cattle. After this only Cuba and Mexico had cane sugar as Colombia and Venezuela could not cope with demand (in the former they got jewed, in the latter gommunism destroyed their crops), but Obama made peace with the Castro regime in Niggerland and got their cane sugar, which destroyed the soda industry in Mexico as they could not produce both local demands for grain and continental demands for syrup, which made our local soda start having the syrupy jew.
The big problem with corn syrup is that when used in high quantities, like most american recipes do, it produces a mild tingly burning sensation in the tongue and throat along with a low fatty coating, like eating very stale nuts and spices, which is very unappealing for the usual consumer. Hence why in Mexico they have to mix it with Aspartame/Acesulfame or a little Stevia to lower the sensation, but ends up having a longer sweet aftertaste that doesn't let you flavor other foods; you see here people have the nasty tradition of eating highly flavored dishes and wash down the taste with soda to cleanse the palatte and flavor again... at breakfast, so a long aftertaste is also unappealing.
Because of all this mess, Pepsi somehow became popular again because their canned presentation is one of the few soda drinks left that uses pure cane sugar, unlike Coca Cola that gambled their market and now has to present like 4 or 5 variations with different mixes of sweeteners.
Also reason why americans get banter because they drinks taste like crap compared to more "traditional" corporate drinks, Hawaiian Punch is a notable example because that one burns your throat mildly like wine. They sometimes try to pass it as "treat" or "candy" drinks like satan disguised as a respectable gentleman here
>>666, but the truth is candy or treats are made with real sugar.
The real man's choice for big corp candy drink is Capri Sun: Pacific Cooler, cherry with grape made with real sugar some years ago after some parents got mad, but they reverted it back when nobody was watching. Their Fruit Punch is also good, it's a drink given to a kid every once in a while as a morale booster but some people hand it like it was a breakfast essential, which is simply badong.
