Lionel Messi has officially become a Florida man after being spotted shopping at a Miami Publix on Thursday.
Catching one of the most famous people on the planet in the act of "normal people things" can be shocking, so seeing Messi at Publix with a cart full of America's finest sugary cereal options created an uproar on social media.
The star stopped to take some pictures with fans while on the shopping spree with his family. Imagine going out to get a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread and coming home with a selfie with a legend.
Fun fact: Publix is a sponsor for Inter Miami. The market has a sandwich named after the MLS team, called the Inter Miami Club Sub. It comes with special Boar's Head Salsalito turkey breast, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato and cilantro lime dressing. The customer also gets a choice of sub roll.
Messi's viral trip to his local Publix earned both the Florida chain and High Noon — a vodka seltzer company — each an estimated $3.3 million in brand exposure and marketing, according to
The Argentine is aiming to make his Inter Miami debut on July 21, and it's safe to say he's getting settled in the Sunshine State.
