No we DO NOT eat heavy “American” style breakfast every day. It’s to much work to prepare and cook that much food for the majority of us lol!

[@wordforger]

Yeah. Most of us are way too on the go to cook breakfast. We've been clocked as some of the fastest eaters in the world and so a lot of our breakfasts reflect that. We tend toward foods that are portable, easy to cook and/or eat while running out the door, and pairable with whatever caffeinated beverage we choose to drink as a wake-up. Some of us get in such a hurry we don't even eat breakfast at all.

[@aprilrich807]

The “American breakfast” that’s described is usually a special occasion event. I don’t know anyone that eats that way more than a few times a year. 😊

[@eatonkuntz]

[@uncletoby-]

The last guy that got fired in the video used to do commercials for Apple.

[@Yugioh420]

Actually the American Breakfast described here was a big a very true thing in the 80s and 90s. Usually in homes where there parents had at least one stay at home.

[@Luke-kv6qf]

Growing up on a ranch in North Dakota, we had huge breakfasts especially in the winter. It gets well below zero and being outside a ton, you need the calories.

[@mayalackman7581]

I eat that type of breakfast 3 or 4 times a month.

[@garykeeling2275]

The typical daily American breakfast is pretty light - bowl of cereal, toast or bagels, pop tarts, maybe fresh fruit. The full American breakfast - eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy (mainly in the South and Midwest), grits (South), hashbrowns, etc. - is usually reserved for weekends or special occasions, or for when we're entertaining guests. You'll also find the full version at hotels and restaurants, but only occasionally in the home.

[@jayeisenhardt1337]

I do the light sometimes but always got enough to do the basic big breakfast whenever. Eggs, bacon, toast, sometimes beans and home style hash browns and tortilla instead of toast. Or the steak and eggs, or pork chop eggs beans. What I consider extra would be combining say pancakes and eggs over easy like a grandslam Denny's meal. It's usually one or the other. A stack of pancakes and maybe some bacon as that's a lot of bread and sugar. That corn syrup. Aunt Jemima and Log Cabin will keep ya full for a long while.

[@user-hc6kd6kr7n]

Probably accurate, I do the full American breakfast with coffee or breakfast sandwiches or burritos almost everyday. I am also a Midwestern guy. When I was a kid we did a lot more cereal, pop tarts, waffles that sort of thing. It was ok but there was no meat in it. I don't like that part.

[@shanesplanetshane3795]

two packs of oatmeal for me, bowl of cereal for the wife. Thats our breakfast for 20yrs. I agree, most of us dont go with big ass, long to prepare, breakfast each morn. It saddens me to report, more and more americans are choosing to eat out for breakfast, and are eating total crap at a high cost.

[@frankmcgowan9457]

Bacon, eggs and coffee for me.

[@steelcross839]

as kids we learn Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and Clean your plate. What we eat now is not what we ate 70 years ago when we were more active or 100 years ago when we were more agrarian and needed a good meal to get us thru the day of labor.

[@Ian-ec5mv]

Haven’t seen a lot of comments mentioning this, but it is highly uncommon to see both pancakes and waffles on the same plate for an American breakfast. Since they’re so similar we usually have one or the other

[@jayeisenhardt1337]

For me breakfast doesn't get big until I add in pancakes. Not as it's own meal but part of the breakfast meal. Steak and eggs, to breakfast tacos or barbacoa. All the meats with hashbrowns and beans is more than cereal but not yet big. 2-3 pancakes on it's own is a normal meal. When ya get that grand slam, hashbrown bacon eggs and pancakes that's an all day meal.

[@protorhinocerator142]

Waffles are better because they retain their integrity more. Pancakes decompose into a disgusting paste if you don't eat them quickly after adding syrup.

The idea of a big American breakfast is usually reserved to the weekend for most people. I think most people actually either skip breakfast entirely during the work week or maybe just grab a piece of fruit or some toast or something quick like a protein bar on the way out the door.maybe cereal if they have an extra few minutes in the morning .

[@mlee-w664]

I don't think most Americans eat a full breakfast every day, maybe once a week on Saturday or Sunday. But for most days I either drink coffee or tea for breakfast and I might eat a slice of toast.

[@rg20322]

Totally agree - I probably eat breakfast 1-2 times a week.

[@Tunnell_Ratt]

Yeah a few days out of the week might be a full breakfast but usually something quick and then out the door.

[@BlueLoneWolf527]

I have a banana and tea every single day, rarely anything else. A simple meal that's faster than toast and cleaner than a bowl of cereal for when I sit in front of my computer to watch KZbin as a wake-up ritual. No massive plate of food because I'd have to be committed to that kind of thing and willing to do the work when it's not for dinner.

[@hanklefthanging1052]

Here in America, cereal, eggs, and toast are extremely common, but stuff like pancakes and waffles are more occasional. Although in places like hotels they do have all the options available

[@april_swingler]

Most the people I know don't even eat breakfast. I do eat breakfast every day and think I have a big breakfast of the kind you described maybe 4 times a year. One of those times is Christmas morning where my Canadian born husband makes a kind of combined English & American Breakfast with the best of things he picked up from his British born dad & things he learned to make when he was a cook in the American Army.

[@suzanneemerson2625]

Depends on your class. Poor people eat breakfasts of high carb junk food like sweetened cereals, toast with jam, doughnuts and other sugary stuff. Many upper class, health-conscious people skip breakfast altogether because they adhere to a 6 to 8 hour eating window in their intermittent fasting schedule. I personally don’t know anyone who eats breakfast. We know people who eat breakfast end up obese, unhealthy and often diabetic.

[@GenerationNextNextNext]

@@suzanneemerson2625 I grew up in a poor class, and never ate breakfast. But cereals and high carb foods were served at school. In fact, for most poor children, they eat most of their meals at school. As a poor adult, I ate most of my meals for lunch and dinner. That's when I would have to grab fast food because my home (a studio apartment) didn't have a stove or refrigerator.

Montana has to give a reason for the firing unless its a recent hire. Same-sex marriage, gun laws, cannabis laws all can vary widely when you go to another state, among many other things.

[@christopherpilkington8375]

Just think about how diverse our country is with its many regional and ethnic cultures. People from Boston, Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Hawaii are not all the same.

The whole I quit and you're fired thing is VERY common. I've literally seen it many, many times in my life. Done it a couple times myself. Employment contracts are actually relatively rare. There is only one state in the US, Montana, that is NOT an "at-will employment" state. Meaning, you can be fired or quit for absolutely any reason you want to, with no notice or repercussions. That is unless it's for a legally protected issue such as race, creed, religion, sex, etc.

​@@donventura2116my dad was illegally laid off several years back from a job he was at for years.

It was a huge mess, but dad was laid off, and since the manner was handled the way it was the company had to pay to send every person who they laid off back to college and pay for the degree in full. So dad got a degree out of it. It's wild. Now he is a supervisor somewhere and making baaaank. Anyways. Just wanted to add this story bc your comment made me remember

As an American, I can say the following regarding breakfast: we generally only have one part of the "traditional" breakfast on any given day. We'll have either cereal, waffles, pancakes, etc at a time. The confusion around "everything" being eaten/available is for buffet style meals where you only grab a little (for the most part) of each thing.

Actually, Americans not eating breakfast is a big problem because of the rush to get ready for work/school in the morning.

In regard to the McDonald's coffee incident, the woman who was injured had set her cup of coffee on the dash of her son's Ford Probe. Anyone who has ever been in one, knows that A) there are no cupholders, and B) the dash is sloped inward. As soon as her son put the car into gear, the cup slid off, the woman was horribly burned. McDonald's was sued, a settlement was reached, the lawyers got most of the money and McDonalds, as a result, lowered the temp of their coffee.

[@yankees29]

I heard she put it between her legs to hold it and her underneath was burned very badly. I’ve seen the pics just of her legs and yes she was burned very very badly.

[@keithsawaya2864]

The issue with McDonald’s was they had been warned by health officials multiple time that their coffee was causing burns. The lady requested they just post got her medical bills. McDonald’s refused. She won due to the fact that it wasn’t a isolated incident and there were multiple written warning. Their coffee if I recall was 20-30 degrees warmer than other places

[@nadiyaangeloff3420]

@@keithsawaya2864 The issue wasn't whether or not McDonald's was responsible, the issue was that the lawyers got the bulk of the settlement. The Plaintiff, if I recall correctly, didn't even get enough to cover all her medical bills.

[@timothychartier]

​@@nadiyaangeloff3420not to be rude but that's not how legally won and awarded sums of money work. You will sue for "x plus damages" where damages refers to the legal fees incurred. If you win "x plus damages", you get X, your lawyer gets the "damages" money. If she didn't get enough from X to cover her bills, she didn't sue for the proper amount. Of course, it's possible to win "X" but have damages denied, and then you will indeed have to pay the damages out of "x", this is uncommon and it is widely circulated that the judge awarded damages to this woman.

[@user-df6mf9mb2l]

I am American US I love meeting people from all over the world, but I never thought of having misconceptions I always thought every country has it way of speaking, living to some degree, and had traditions very different from ours. We are different here in the US just as others countries are. Why would anyone care? To each his own.

[@ginny5764]

Most of us in the US do NOT have a huge breakfast every day! My husband and I have strawberry protein pancakes every Sunday, but nothing else. Most days I don’t eat breakfast. Also, chlorofluorocarbons in spray deodorants were banned in the late 1970’s because they were depleting the ozone layer. The chemicals have changed to allow spray deodorants, but I’ve been using roll ons or sticks since. Some facts about the McDonald’s coffee lawsuit: A 79 year-old in 1992 had 3rd degree burns on her legs and was willing to settle for $20,000 to cover her medical expenses (skin grafts, etc), but McDonald’s offered only $800. It went to trial, and what made headlines was the jury’s award of $3 million in punitive damages. Many others were also injured by the coffee, but they quickly ended in settlements. They felt McDonald’s was not willing to negotiate a fair price, so they wanted McD’s to pay the equivalent of 2 days worth of coffee sales for the company at that time. A judge eventually vacated over 80%, and she settled for an undisclosed amount to avoid appeals.

On the suing thing, sometimes lawyers might approach a person if they think there's a good chance of winning a case and getting a good amount of whatever is awarded. Injury lawyers advertise so they're easy to find, a lot of people do have an entitlement mentality, so those two halves come together pretty well to make lawsuits probable in many instances.

[@xJamesLaughx]

I would always give two weeks notice if I was going to change jobs. Especially if it was a job I was leaving on my own free will to either pursue something different etc. That gave them time to find a replacement and also made for a better chance of getting a good reference from your ex-employer to the new one.

[@craigplatel813]

Most consequence from not giving notice are usually based on the company not giving end of employment benefits if you don't give notice. Such as selling back unused PTO etc... Some things the company can't stop. Such as filing that you had insurance so that you can start up insurance when you get a new job. (HIPAA) This is an encouragement to give notice, but is a requirement to give to give notice.

"When we go abroad they have pancakes laid out". That's true in hotels. You know why? Because they are insanely cheap (to the point of nearly being free) to make and very filling. But hotel breakfasts are not typical of most household morning meals. A "full breakfast" is quite rare besides on maybe weekends. No one has time to make pancakes, bacon, eggs, toast, etc on work/school days.

[@JustMe-dc6ks]

And a breakfast buffet may have pancakes and waffles and toast and biscuits and eggs and sausage and bacon and hash browns etc to choose from while a big breakfast at home would have two to four of those.

[@papamaniac2410]

My daughter works in a chain hotel. They give a full breakfast every morning. They have waffle mix and a waffle maker so they offer them daily. You cook to your taste. They serve eggs (microwaved). They do not have a kitchen for the food they just also use a convection style oven serving sausage links and patties. They have biscuits with country gravy. Canned and fresh fruits, juices, coffee, hot chocolate, milk and cold cereals. They also have pastries and mini muffins. Bread for toast with butters and jellies. All this stuff can be served economically and in small servings so not much waste. This is in a small town also.

[@gwynn7679]

The reason you've seen a "laid out" breakfast with pancakes, waffles, bagels, etc. is because a lot of hotels offer that for their customers. Yes, we might have waffles or pancakes or bagels in the morning, but usually not EVERY morning and usually not all of those in one meal. Very often, those big meals will be a special weekend treat when people have time to cook them for the family. Also very often, people will just have a bagel or cereal for breakfast, or maybe a couple of pieces of toast with butter and jam or (American) jelly (not to be confused with Jello, which is different.) The "your fired" "I quit" has some nuances. For a minimum wage job, yes, that can happen, and also for lower wage jobs where there are 50 other people who could take your place the next day. It is less likely for higher paid jobs where often, you will have to give at least 2 weeks' notice to quit, though they could still fire you if you did something pretty bad. However, even firing someone could require a notice ahead of time, especially if the person is just being laid off (which is technically not being "fired." Being laid off would also likely require the company to give severance pay.) And there would have to be a good reason for firing someone, often with a progression of warnings beforehand. (Otherwise, the company could "get sued" if they did not follow those procedures of getting rid of someone because they might have to prove there was a good reason. LOL)

I think if you go _out_ for breakfast, you generally get something fairly substantial. I mean, yes, some restaurants do have cold cereal on the menu as an option, but hardly anyone buys it; people who eat cold cereal all the time, just eat it at home.

Sorry Millie but you're definitely wrong about Americans breakfasts. Most people I know skip breakfast, or have coffee and toast or a bagel. Some eat an egg sandwich, on toast or bagel, English muffin, etc. Smoothies or yogurt with fruit is very common. Also oatmeal. I definitely don't know any person who works that actually cooks a full breakfast, except on weekends. The breakfast you get in hotels is a buffet to pick and choose from, not a normal pairing of items. The breakfast you get in diners/restaurants is also extreme, and mostly only had on a weekend once a month or week at most. For me, never. Fast food breakfast might be more common, but that's also typically breakfast sandwiches and maybe hash browns. Definitely no one is cooking pancakes and waffles for the same days breakfast, and if you have either you wouldn't also have cereal. In general American restaurant portions are exaggerated, people don't finish them nor would that be the portion you'd serve at home. And it's really not even true, 80% of local restaurants have normal portions. It's chains that tend to go overboard. For example I went to a local Sicilian restaurant tonight with my husband and parents. Our appetizer was stuffed mushrooms, it was 5 mushrooms. We each had one except my husband had 2. We all ordered pasta dishes, and each took half of them home for lunch tomorrow. We didn't order dessert, which is normal too. Dessert in restaurants is a real indulgence, not common in my experience. Europeans (I've noticed) tend to think of one "thing" as a serving, like if you see a bag of chips it's meant to be one serving. If you are served a meal, that's your portion, etc. But in America, the majority of goods are sold in large packs with many servings. Not saying everyone adheres to them, but it isn't normal to eat the full bag of chips. It even says "family size" or "party size" on the bags. 😂 I really don't think Americans are eating more than Europeans, Europeans just have more courses and no leftovers lol A lot of traditional American foods are "all in one" things, like sandwiches, pizza, burritos, casseroles.. many people eat these without anything else the majority of the time.

In Southern California you can go snow skiing in the mountains and drive for an hour and go surfing in the ocean. There's the night clubs, amusement parks, horse racing, football, basketball and baseball games in the metropolitan areas, and and 45 miles from there you have the mountains or the desert. Northern California has San Francisco, forests mountains, lake Tahoe and even a volcano or two. Both have their good points!

Europeans have no real concept of how big America is. It is as far from Los Angeles to the northern border of California as it is from London to Berlin. In college, I picked up a German kid on a mountain 8 hours from the coast freezing his ass off in December. I was going home for Christmas. There was about a foot of snow and it was coming down hard...probably about 20°F and windy. He had come from Germany for a week and was hitchhiking from New York City to Miami and back...in a week! That round trip is 500 miles farther than hitchhiking from London to Moscow...hitchhiking...in a week. Not necessarily the best of plans. He also thought America was tropical and only had a light jacket, no hat, no gloves. And of course, he was wearing a track suit. He's lucky I picked him up. I saw him and knew instantly he was from Europe and really, REALLY lost. The roads were empty and it was getting dark and he was miles from anywhere. He only had $50 for the trip too. How his parents let him go so ill prepared is beyond me. First, somehow he wound up 8 hours west of the coast...not sure how he pulled that off. He only spoke very basic English. So, I tried to convinced him to stay with us for the week. I was having a huge keg party and we had other things planned for Christmas. He had a blast but only stayed for one day. We gave him warm clothes and money and sent him on his way. When he got home, he sent us a post card, so he survived. His name was Cyril.

In the late 80s early 90s we were told that spray aerosols were causing a hole in the earths ozone layer and there began a huge push for not only roll on deodorants but non aerosol hairsprays (which was the beginning of the end for the hugely popular Agua Net at the time), but I think this just got stuck in so many of our heads that it became basic instinct to go for the roll on. The first time I tried spray kind was about 6 years ago and I loved it, but its still not as common as the roll on. Also, its a rare thing for me to eat breakfast - although many Americans enjoy the once and awhile treat of "breakfast for dinner". a favorite of many!

[@davidthrogmorton5959]

Agreed.

[@99Stutz]

The hole in the ozone layer is a really interesting case study. It was indeed caused by various manufactured chemicals, including those in spray products like CFCs. In 1989 the Montreal Protocol banned production of these substances and ever since then the "hole" has been steadily shrinking and is no longer considered to be a hazard. We basically solved the problem. It is considered probably the most successful international agreement ever. Seems like we should be able to do something similar for climate change, but alas.

[@chris...9497]

That ozone reference is a good point. Let me add that there are roll-ons and there are...smear-ons? Rub-ons? Roll-ons had a ball applicator that transfers the deodorant liquid as it rolls. But a lot of deodorants these days have a well filled with a paste that the user applies by rubbing against the underarms. The paste melts and adheres. The user raises the level of the paste by turning a disk at the applicator bottom. I think that one is the most used, but some still use spray deodorant a few may still use roll-ons.

Regarding deodorants….way back in the 70’s, we were doing our best to help the ozone layer. We learned that the ozone layer had a hole that was growing larger and we took off the market any spray that contained fluorocarbons. I have no idea what that is, but I remember being a kid and learning that certain spray things weren’t gonna be available anymore. I believe that is the beginning of why we don’t have spray deodorants. Love you both.

[@pjstartv6798]

I think the misconception about spray-on deodorants comes from the fact that in the 80s everyone in the U.S. was concerned about ozone-harming CFCs used in aerosol sprays so a lot of people in the U.S. started refusing to buy aerosol products and some companies stopped carrying them. However, in 1994 the United States banned the use of CFCs in aerosol sprays so now they use a different kind of propellant and aerosol deodorants are used everywhere.

The quitting/firing thing is on a state by state basis, I lived in a state that doesn't need just cause for firing and you are allowed to quit on the spot (doesn't apply to anti-discrimmination laws) but some states require a notice of quitting or it's baked in your contract or it's a courtesy for not burning bridges (usually 2 weeks)

[@chris...9497]

Quitting suddenly without having a new job to go to does happen, but most people don't because it's usually hard to find new employment with comparable pay to the job you're leaving. If the wages are pretty low at your old job, you can find comparable pay at a new job, but the pay is so low and cost of living so high that chances are you have no savings to tide you over until you can find a job. And either way, jobs are hard to find if you live in a low-population area, are middle-aged or older, are 'over-qualified', or display some troubling information in your work record (such as attendance issues, health issues, quarrels with management however in the right you might be). That being said, sometimes the job or the supervisor demands too much, breaks promises, or turns emotionally toxic; there's nothing to do but quit when it gets intolerable. I've done it a few times, justifiably. And being fired happens, though most businesses try to make you quit.

[@amydevol8224]

Labor laws vary from state to state. I live in Georgia which is a "right-to-work" state. This means that a labor union which negotiates wages and benefits for a worker population (e.g. in a factory) cannot specify a "closed shop" into the contract and ban all non-union workers. This is common in the South. Union closed shops are quite common in the Northeast. How much notice one must give prior to leaving a job depends on the details of one's contract, if there is one. Generally, it is considered common courtesy to give notice of quitting a job, usually one pay period, but at least two weeks. For salaried employees and most professionals who are often paid monthly, one month's notice is usual. Similarly, when a company is "laying someone off" often for financial reasons, they may give severance pay in lieu of notice. The "fired" employee is often then escorted off company site. I usually didn't quit my job before having found another. That said, I was laid off a couple of times, and being a professional, salaried engineer/analyst it often took nearly six months to regain employment.

People talked a lot of crap about the old lady suing McDonalds for coffee, but that's really because most people don't understand it. It's a landmark case for punitive damages. Most litigation for damage is "you caused damage, pay back the damage" which in this case would be medical fees. McDonalds was factoring into their business model "we're going to get sued for burning people sometimes, but we'll make more money than we have to pay out." Legally, the case is really about the question "is it okay for a company to knowingly let itself go around burning people to make extra money?" The decision was "no, this is one burnt little old lady too many" so McDonalds got hit with punitive damages.
