Since my brain apparently wants to write 5 Things stories about Captain America some random ideas for you
Fic noodling:
Cavendish bananas -- what happened to the Gros Michel?
Sneakers -- those are athletic shoes, why would you wear them on the street?
Hats -- not part of standard dress anymore
Clean streets -- people pick up trash and throw it away. People pick up dog poop!
The Los Angeles Dodgers -- WHAT?!
Lack of smog -- no one uses coal for heat anymore. The city smells different.
Red Delicious Apples -- not delicious, not actually an apple in Steve's opinion
Nutrional Labels -- what the heck am I eating?
Anti-vaccination activism -- Do people not remember polio? Acutally, they don't, Steve
Antipathy to the FDA -- for Steve, the Elixir Sulfanilamide Disaster was 5 years ago.
Plastics -- everywhere, even his shoes. He's used to celluloid and bakelite.
Roombas!
Craft beers -- doesn't ever city have its own brewery or twelve?
Trousers that sit at the hips, not the waist.
Jeans -- those are work pants, not fashion items
Any other ideas about what Steve would have culture shock over?
