For those who don't know why soft drinks are refilled free in the US, its because it literally cost the business legit like 5 cents per cup. Say you run out of soda and drink 2 more refills, that only cost the business 15 cents whereas you just probably paid $15-20 for the meal.

I think it’s a combo between price and hospitality.

If you feel rushed, you’d probably just leave and make your own meal.

Hendrik is literally the most stereotypical German you could’ve picked. 2:46 I want to say something to what Hendrik said here, it really depends where you live in Germany. In small villages you will often see flags from the specific state (region) the people live in for example the Schleswig-Holstein flag or Bavarian flag when you’re in Bavaria, as the regional (state) pride in Germany is much stronger than the national pride.

I'll tell you why we fly US flags everywhere. The USA is a very big country, made of 50 different states, filled with very diverse groups of people. Each state has its own flag, but the Stars & Stripes is the symbol we unite under. Just as our forefathers did under its earlier versions when they were just considered traitors to the British crown. We respect and take pride in it too, because it represents the values of freedom that were set in our constitution as well as all those that fought and died to protect and uphold them. The flag is interwoven emphatically with our creation myth, our veterans, and all those in military service. It's something that every American can identify with. It's meant for us, to remind us: that we are the United States of America; regardless of our differences or distance between whichever state we may call home, it was never meant to be boastful or tell others that we're better than them.

Yes I never understand why Europeans are confused by Americans flying their flag. It is essentially a celebration of absolute freedom. Displaying the American flag is publicly proclaiming that we enjoy freedom for all people and we want to encourage this freedom and civility for all people. How can anybody not see that? Or appreciate those values. Freedom civility democracy Meritocracy. Kindness. Cooperation These are some of the American values which should actually be considered universal. I am very much confused why any European would not be very proud to display a flag that encourages and celebrates those values

I think the reason Germans don't wave their flag around a lot is because nationalism/patriotism was vilified after WW2 because of the Nazis.

I've never been to Germany though so this is just my assumption.

There's plenty of reasons to be proud of the US. I'll do an easy one. America was not the first country to have slavery. Not even close. But it WAS the first country to fight a war against it and then subsequently abolish it. Slavery in the past was the norm, to be the abolitionists of it is something to take pride in.

@@djjazzyjeff1232 The US was probably the only country that fought a civil war over their own government trying to abolish slavery...

The American Flag is a big concern for me. The issue actually goes very very deep. The American Flag stands for FREEDOM! The flag of America also stands for all of the great American values. These values include: Freedom. Civility. Kindness. Meritocracy. The "American Flag" is only partially about the "United States" as a country. It is mostly about the ideals and values. The American Flag is of course necessary for official recognition of a nation and government. But it is much much deeper. Displaying The American Flag celebrates the values of freedom and kindness, rather than any particular government, cultural policy, or historical era. The problem with anyone putting down the American Flag, is in fact denying what it stands for. This means: if you don't like to see the American Flag, then you don't want freedom, civility, kindness, or opportunity in your region. THAT is the much deeper problem of so many people recently, shaming the American Flag. We see where those attitudes have brought us in the demise of our civilization. Therefore: all peoples of the world, should be very encouraging of the American Flag, and all that it stands for. If we cease to fly the American Flag...that is the same as surrendering to a world of tyranny.

You cannot criticize American history or policies or mention that the US has harmed its own citizens or innocent ppl abroad without being called a commie and some would even call you a traitor.

Sure, some people indulge in fast food once in a while, but I feel like the biggest nutritional difference is due to economic difference. Poorer people tend to buy the cheap fast food meals, while people who can afford to dine out more, go for healthier and more local food options. Sometimes I crave McDonald's chicken nuggets but not very often.

So she says since I was born the same year as it happened I don’t have memory of this but she says the flags we placed everywhere to say that we are strong and can’t be taken down by anyone that’s why people have them everywhere. It’s very much a pride thing but also as like to show that we are one and together. That’s why the sudden increase in flags in literally random places like our buses.

Here it is more about local patriotism, so ones region and tribal affiliation which is usually not represented by state flags but the local football (soccer) memoribilia. So while you will be hard pressed to find a flag flying anywhere you will see an fc. köln sticker on every other car and scarfs in the team colours displayed in every other window around my area. This is also why especially derbies between neighbouring tribes can get quite roudy around here as that is basically the only area (aside some traditional customs like the spring "wars" around the first of may where the bachelors fight to cut or burn down the may tree of all surrounding settlements before their own is felled) where we can focus our age old rivalries on today

The American obsession with deep frying comes from the British. The Scots-Irish brogue fried chicken to the South centuries ago. The Americans just made it better.

1:25 Speaking to the flag thing, I have had other Germans tell me a big part of the reason they don't fly flags in Germany or make a big to do about national pride is because of World War II. The people didn't want to encourage that kind of dangerous behavior again and there is kind of a national consensus of humility about it

I'm from Germany and here are lots of German flags. It's just we don't really tell people where we are from, because they used to make fun over us. Especially the people who moved from other countries to ours. I still don't understand why, cuz they have a good life here and get their money for free, which we don't.

The fact that the girls can’t tell you why Americans are proud of our country tells you what you need to know about them and their views. Amazing military power, the first country founded on the concept of natural human rights and designing a government around that, a nation of incredible inventors, hardworking dreamers that have risked everything to create so much. This is the land of opportunity. I’m sick of people acting like that’s an accident and taking it for granted.
