American here: I think it's STUPID to call the day after Thanksgiving Black Friday. It started as some sort of marketing scheme (perpetrated by people who never learned history, I guess.) It wasn't called that when I was young. In the past, calling the day "Black" meant that something bad had happened that day. " Black Tuesday refers to a precipitous drop in the value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) on Oct 29, 1929. Black Tuesday marked the beginning of the Great Depression, which lasted until the beginning of World War II." "Stock Market Crash: The first contemporary global financial crisis unfolded on October 19, 1987, a day known as “Black Monday,” when the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 22.6 percent."

[@jenniferdennis4859]

The story behind thanksgiving is this… The first American Thanksgiving is thought to have been a three-day harvest feast in 1621 in Plymouth Colony. The Wampanoag people helped the Pilgrims, who had arrived the year before on the Mayflower, prepare the meal after they ran out of food and it was too late to plant crops. The Wampanoag taught the Pilgrims how to grow corn and catch fish. The pilgrims struggled and almost died from starvation until the Native Americans helped. Some people won’t celebrate because they still believe that Americans are living on stolen land so it’s evolved into a holiday of being thankful for what we do have.

Garbage disposals are pretty clutch, actually. You don't throw whole chunks of food down the drain. (We still scrape the big stuff off into a trash can.) It just stops the sink from getting clogged by smaller scraps, vegetable peels, and cooking residue. It's basically a grinder (food processor), and you can clean them with ice or special soap pellets to stop them from getting gross. The waste from a garbage disposal just goes to the normal sewage system or septic tank, just like a toilet. It's more to stop the sink from getting clogged than to throw large amounts of stuff away.

They don’t stink if you clean them and that’s easy to do with some baking soda and a couple sliced lemons and maybe an orange put that in there altogether a couple times a week and run it for like 15 -30 seconds. You can also add some and coffee grounds and egg shells sometimes if you want. It also depends on how old the Disposal is but they are super easy to replace. So if you clean them they don’t smell. I’m sure they make chemical cleaners as well but I’ve just done it this way for so long I guess it’s what I’m used to. 😊 I imagine when you use a bleach based cleanser in your sink every week that will also run down through it so it’s really no big deal. And it doesn’t get stinky and potentially dangerous from the bacteria 🦠 that breads in your bin from all of the food scraps and worse if raw meat or raw meat packets that are thrown in the bin that kids and pets can get into that can get them very sick, very easily. You can’t things like 👍🏻 your fingers or hands, paper towels, bones, metal or hard things into them other then that they are AWESOME!! 🤩 👏 😎🤩👏👏 As far as being bad for the environment they aren’t any better tied up in aplastic bin liners…. Unless you want to compost scraps in your garden which is stinky and full of bacteria that can cause illnesses and pest infestations those scraps are just scraps. Another reason they are “banned” in other countries is because they don’t have the infrastructure that can handle scraps in pipes placed a very long time ago and would be very expensive to upgrade.

There is no smell in the garbage disposal unless you don’t run it. If you scrape it into the bin it smells and is more likely to attract flies and bugs.

7:58 plumber here. We have one pipe coming out of the house, sewer pipe. It takes everything that goes down our drains, kitchen sink, bathroom sink, toilet, laundry sink, floor drains, and it either goes to a municipal sewage treatment plant or a septic tank. Depending on your setup. And no we don’t recommend you put food scraps into a food waste grinder. It’s mean for the little bits of food on your plate after throwing most of it in the trash. And typically if you have a septic tank we don’t recommend using a food waste grinder. It’ll fill the tank up too quickly. Not everyone here has a food waste grinder. Also you have to be careful what you put down the drain. We say avoid the F.O.G. Fats, oil and grease will play havoc on your pipes and sewage system in the streets.

To be clear: the food disposal unit feeds into the same pipes as the toilet. Interesting difference between US and UK: In the US, it is customary to treat sewage before releasing it into the rivers.

[@ConstantChaos1]

So a few things on that part, the garbage disposal isn't banned in Europe for environmental reasons, its because the pipes and water infrastructure isn't made to deal with it and their sewer systems are more difficult to clear blockages out of. They also largely seperate food waste from inorganic waste over there and it is treated differently. In America that's not a normal thing for a local service to provide. The food waste in America, if it goes down the disposal, goes to an aerobic sedimentation tank, where it can break down in the presence of oxygen which is the better way for it to break down from an environmental/climate perspective.

Cheese "sprays" are part of a class of products called "processed cheese foods". These are essentially commercial versions of cheese spreads, dips and sauces made in many home kitchens. They came about as cheese manufacturers looked for ways to use off cuts and excess cheese instead of throwing them away.

As an American it blows my mind that other countries don't have garbage disposals. I would never want to live without one. You don't scrape large items from your plate into the sink; you still scrape it into the garbage (or "bin" as you say). But you can rinse off plates that have small scraps of food in the sink and not worry that it will clog up your drains. The disposal grinds it all up and sends it into the sewer system with all the other waste. It doesn't smell at all because it's washed away. If it ever does get a little dirty, you just grind up a few lemon peels and you're good to go.

Most goes all into a sewer pipe if your local community provides it, In rural areas it goes into a septic tank where it breaks down (enzymes do that and stay in tank).

By this time he’d probably be being treated in the hospital and in a coma in ICU for at least 6 months and the hospital knew they’d never get that money but they just kept treating him.

In recent years, some have tried to dispute that this feast ever took place, bc some want to hate on their own country & rewrite history- but despite the fact that there were some settlers that treated the Indian ppl poorly as well as some Indians that attacked & killed some settlers-- original journal entries, letters & documents exist that confirm the friendly & mutually beneficial relationships that existed & yes, they did have some Harvest feasts together.

DEFINITELY more Mom videos! Much ❤

Lewis, it was amazing that you included your mum in your video. I can see a good, wholesome relationship between the two of you. Wishing you the best, for you and your family, from here in the good old USA. Love your videos.

A couple of things. The name of Black Friday actually comes from the sales push that many American retailers have after Thanksgiving in order to get their revenue out of the red and into the black. It is more related to a push to increase sales as opposed to being synonymous with negative behavior. And Thanksgiving grew out of a story told about the first English settlers of America who needed the help of the American Indians to survive their first winter. Legend has it that after the first successful harvest with the assistance of the Indians, the settlers held a feast to give thanks to God for their bounty and their survival. We don’t give gifts, it is just a day to gather as families and friends to share a meal and good time together.

Love watching British reaction videos. Amazing how similar our cultures are, and yet, how much the Atlantic keeps at bay. Most of this I knew, but having been to the UK twice, I never caught that there are no garbage disposals there.

Mum is hilarious. She needs to be on more of your videos.

Thanksgiving is a celebration for good harvests. As someone else has mentioned here The first Thanksgiving was celebrated by the pilgrims who were taught by the indigenous people of their region how to grow and harvest crops they were unfamiliar with. They were also taught how to preserve those crops for the winter.

12:24 Fluoride is added to our water. It prevents cavities (dental caries) but it does not whiten teeth. But now many people use water filters so that actually removes the fluoride.

[@IAmTheRealBill]

Flouride in the water is linked with certain health issues, and doesn’t actually prevent cavities. When we compare to populations that don’t do it , we do not see a drop on cavities. This analysis has to account for specific variables that were not present in the original analyses. As with all things there are no solutions, only tradeoffs.

[@badbatch974]

@@IAmTheRealBillvery true. Just another sign of big pharma’s control over everything in the US.

[@jessejones6409]

Yeah after all this time the municipalities with fluoridated water have no lower incidence of cavities. Fluoride is a neurotoxin. One of the Ivy League colleges has actually numerated the IQ points lost per unit of fluoride ingested. Harvard or something.

We don't have a food disposal and the sink gets clogged a lot, because the kids won't scrape their plates off in the garage so we use the plunger in the sink, but sometimes that damages the pipes.

Lewis,Your mom is lovely.When I was younger they never had those type of commercials about lawyers.

[@calendarpage]

My stepfather was a lawyer. He couldn't advertise for most of his career due to ethics constraints from the bar - it's not like it was illegal. When I started to practice law, there were some ads, but most lawyers still thought it was unseemly.

[@cindyknudson2715]

Or drug ads at all.

American cheese is a "pasteurized process cheese" (the 51% stuff) that is sold mostly as a pack of yellow single celophane wrapped "cheese" squares/slices. Best know as Kraft Singles. The spray "cheese", is the same product that has additives that makes it softer so it can be despensed by the can.

[@YoungishCurmugeon]

Not always, American is like other cheese with additives to get the flavor i.e. cheddar, swiss, etc. And any of those can be a pasturized cheese product....otherwise they be all almost like tofu, bland of a similar consistency.

[@MandySpencer-uu2zc]

That's the rubber cheese his ma is talking about. Not proper cheese!

The garbage disposal send the food bits through sewer system and at the water treatment plant it’s get filtered out with the other solids and composted. So it actually reduces waste going into the landfill.

[@randallsanchez3161]

It's also profitable for the city. The food bits are mixed with toilet water when they go to the water treatment plant. After composting it becomes a good fertilizer which the city will sell to recoup costs and even make a profit. I was shocked to discover that Europe doesn't have anything like that. But then after spending some time in Spain and Italy I realized that their water systems were no where near as good as the US and some places still used septic systems inside the city itself.

[@PriscillaV1964]

We have those clear/translucent cups that your mom mentioned. They were the forerunner of the iconic Red Solo Cups, whic came about because of a need for a larger sturdier cup for cookouts and grown up parties. When they first came out there were a variety of colors, but red is THE color of cookouts, Christmas and Valentines, so the Solo company narrowed the color choices and increased their profits. Yes, there are other seasonal colors offered, but the Red is the Always color.

[@michaelneff6716]

In case you guys were curious I don't know if anybody already said this or not but the garbage disposal chops the food up into fine particles and it rinses write down with the wash water through the drains into sewer pipes that run to a central sewer system that cleans and processes the water filters out all the garbage and junk and then they reuse it for other things lake irrigation processes which are sprinklers for farms and such

[@marshawargo7238]

But now that they mention it, maybe it should be piped into a separate holding tank to be used in the garden or a compost storage area

[@IraQNid]

Not every home has one. Especially around kids.

[@wesdoobner7521]

There are still plenty of people with garbage disposals in the sink but I think of it as more of a 1970's fad.

Also you cannot throw meat or bones down a disposal - just soft food such as eggs, egg shells, coffee grinds, fruit and vegetable matter.
