Brainstorming about Steve Rogers...

[neotoma]

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?

Not just ear piercing, but other piercings that show up would throw Steve.

And the fact that they are more than three acceptable hairstyle for men! Black men even wear their hair braided, and no one bats an eye.
