When it comes to choices, there are lots of British KZbinrs who have filmed their first time in a WalMart or Target. One of the first thing they all notice is the huge choices you have in items, they all say that.

@@jeffkiser5996 That is true Jeff, but even if it's not WalMart, you would still have more choices of products in the states than the UK. Most Europeans on KZbin believe that as well, because I take it from the video on KZbin where Europeans visits all sorts of stores in the US and not just Walmart. This is no knock on the UK, but America just does so many things bigger and over the top, and there's a whole lot more choices we have here, that don't always make it to Europe. It's just a culture difference, American people love tons of choices, and the all out competitiveness among the different brands wanting your money.

The US is SUPER big on market research, too. Some companies will throw something out for a trial run in certain areas to see how well they do, so there's a lot of changing varieties of things depending how well (or not) they fare. A good example is a new flavor of cereal. They'll put it out in test areas and label it "limited edition" or some such. If it does well, they'll do a wider distribution, still as limited edition. If it keeps doing well, they'll make it a regular thing. It makes me feel for the poor folks that have to keep fuckin around with the shelves and labels or setting up new displays all the time.

I realize that could be taken rude, definitely meant it as a joke. 👍🏽 but the month day year thing is actually why we write it like that

[@ghostlee6434]

The dude on the left keeps stopping the video to say we do that here. It doesn't say other countries doesn't do these things it states that people are puzzled by things in the US. A big difference...

[@johnwray393]

Was thinking the same thing. Plus the video isn't comparing everything to just the U.K either.

[@VeiledDancer]

Exactly

[@jlpack62]

Honestly, England in particular has more cultural commonalities with the US than other parts of Europe. From their response to the video, it also seems to me that we know where our love for fried food comes from: Scotland!

[@user-eu1rh2nm8j]

To be fair...the video is suggesting people are puzzled by these things because in their country its not like that. Why else would they be puzzled? So him asking if they "do it here" makes perfect sense...

[@MaximusX67]

Red Solo cups are popular for keg parties, and so they tend to be there at bigger gatherings where they've gotten a keg of beer.

[@lisas572]

I'm American and American's do not smile that much!

[@packers256]

Relative to other countries we definitely tend to

[@SteveEdward_]

True! Especially here in North Dakota... It's almost always freezing cold, so it brings peoples mood down. Makes me want to move because of how depressing it is here lol. At least, most make it that way...

[@Darry420]

It depends where you are at I’m in the Midwest and people are always smiling and making small talk with you as strangers but when I go out to Massachusetts they are the grumpiest people I’ve met but I love that about America

[@amphibeingmcshpongletron5026]

@@Darry420 I'm from Boston. Can confirm we're Massholes. Love Midwesterners, just understand we're going to make fun of you. Just go with it. Fire a few "insults" back at us. We'll like you A LOT more. We're a big fan of havin' the craic, taking the piss, etc as they say across the pond. I sometimes forget that not everyone finds casual friendly insults endearing. Love it when I can speak to my buddies from back home though. They get it. I feel like fowl language is like part of my accent.

Another thing that people don't like to focus on but is still prevalent is the fact that so many Americans carry firearms on them. You will not often see a person open carry, but you don't know how many people are conceal carrying

british people flip out when they come over here to america and someone has an iced tea ☕️

There's three types of teas in the US. Sweet tea (southern) US attempting to do British tea Flavored tea you find in the refrigerated aisles in grocery stores/gas stops

It's hot here! I moved from North Germany by the North Sea when I was 15. We didn't have or need air conditioning there, in fact you need a sweater in the evening. I ended up in Tulsa where you die without air.🥳

In the UK, you can manage the heat by getting naked. In the US, you start trying to peel your skin off if you don't have AC on a hot day.

Me again. The ice reference is so funny. When we were in London, the hotel bartender asked " what is with Americans and ice?" and..."here they are again, they want ice". That was the Columbia Hotel across from Hyde Park.

I live in Alaska, so I've always got the AC on whenever I travel. I don't really agree with a lot of the stuff on this channel. I think it was made for Americans to make them feel better about themselves

You think so? Didn't make me feel better about myself. Kind of looks like it's trying to make Americans look ridiculous.

[@noneprovided689]

4:54 ... Okay, I know _someone_ is going to give me a hard time for this, but please help me out; I can’t I make a _lick_ of sense out of what the hell Dave is describing at 4:54. In full disclosure: I live in the the greater Boston area, so I am well aware that I have *zero* right to goof on how others speak, but I can decipher neither Dave’s words _nor_ the food he’s describing. I’m hearing either _sonic kebab_ or _son o' kebab,_ which is "a chippy sausage, wrapped in Donna meat", deep fried. If someone would kindly translate his accent and/or slang to North American English, this Masshole would be *wicked grateful,* and feel much smaddah and moh' kulchid.

[@OfficeBlokes]

Sonner Kebab is a large sausage from the Fish and Chip shop, wrapped in Donner Meat and Deep Fried. Most places won't serve them as they are so unhealthy!

I'm in Georgia, it's 90f+ with 80%+ humidity from April to October, ac with the drying the air out part is needed and welcome.

Most of these are reginal facts though. They arent really stereotypes.

[@scottbaron121]

I was 16 during my first time to England (I'm from the States). It was 1985. I asked the waiter for ICE water. He came back with a cup of water that my brother remarked, "Nice of them to put in ice that looks like a Lilliputian puddle freeze". It's been pretty much the same since. And I've been there often.

[@johnwray393]

I'd suggest not doing anymore vids from that channel. Lol Love your reactions though. I learn more from you guys talking of the U.K then I do from any of the videos.

[@klausklaus328]

Soda is at it's best when refrigerated or served with ice! Just FYI fountain soda or soda from say a fast food place like McDonalds has ice over the lines used to pump the syrup and carbonated water, this allows the product to come out with a slower lose to the carbonation so you do not wind up with a cup of just frothy bubbles. So it is not weird we like it this way it is smart as our carbonation lasts longer in our soda's !! Same goes for Beer, it's all about the carbonation lol!!

[@lonewarrior6633]

[@biscuitsmcgravy394]

People in the US don't use Red Solo Cups all that often either.

This American hates ice in drinks. IMO, ice just takes up extra space that could be used for more beverage.

[@jamesmatthew1903]

12:45 in both cases (UK & US) the date is written the way it's spoken. I'd say this comment was on "January 12th 2022" whereas you'd say it was made on "the 12th of January 2022"

I laughed so hard when you guys were like, WTF, when you heard the narrator say, "you don't have that many food choices in the UK." I hear so much BS that is totally wrong about the US all the time in these videos (including this one), that my reaction was, welcome to the club, guys. Welcome! And that was not an "American perspective." That was the narrator's perspective. :)

Guys please don’t take these videos seriously 💀💀 it’s making our country look bad... I mean worse

[@justlooking1087]

One thing I’ve always disliked about the living in the UK is summers without an air conditioner 😂. The houses here are not designed for 80+ degree weather, it’s actually kind of unbearable at times. The windows aren’t even built in a way that accommodates an AC. I’m from Bermuda and we keep the ACs on too. And it’s true that there aren’t many options for snacks, you’re focused on cereal but the amount of options they have in the US is outrageous. I hate when my friends and family in the US show me the shelves in the stores. Entire isles full of drinks, snacks etc. The most exotic drinks you get it shops out here is fanta.

[@SilvanaDil]

Um, the USA > NYC

[@erinbiedenbach608]

There is a reason for the gaps in the bathroom stalls. Health codes require that a public restroom needs to be able to be hosed down. The gaps allow for proper ventilation and air flow so mold and mildew cannot easily grow after it's been hosed down or cleaned. It's all for sanitary reasons.

[@rich3371]

A lot of these are just silly generalizations
