I am starting to think that the writers of WatchMojo have not visited many countries.... a lot of those things are common in other countries.

The "white bread" one seems odd. As a European that's travelled around quite a bit, I can safely say that most European countries have some sort of sliced bread, more or less white/non-nutritious as well. We also have pharmaceutical ads on tv, probably less and less weird ones than in the US bc afaik you can only advertise over-the-counter stuff here.

In America guns are a right and healthcare is a privilege.
In the rest of the world, guns are a privilege and healthcare is a right.

Sliced white bread has been popular in the UK for ages

[gorgha]

Almost every single thing on this list also exists here in Canada, and I could be wrong but I think a good number of them also in the UK.

The drinking age was lowered to 18 in the early 1970s. There was such an increase in alcohol abuse and alcohol related highway deaths involving 18, 19 and 20 year olds, that Congress raised the age back up to 21 and tied it to the highway funding for the states.

Voting before drinking pisses me off, especially since you’re considered a legal adult at 18.

Yes, the U.S. uses the imperial system as a standard, but the metric system is also used a lot, like in different sciences.

Super Size doesn't exist at McDonalds anymore.

Living in Canada (Toronto) my whole life
10. Garbage Disposal- No We don’t have
9. Spray Cheese - Not now but we used to
8. Free Refills- Yes we’ve always had free refills on pop not on juice, milk, alcohol ect
7. Everything Supersized- yes we had it until McDonalds took it away after the “supersize me “ documentary
6. Black Friday Madness- we do have deals and like lines but we don’t have the madness like the states
5. White Bread- yes I grew up on it.
4.Girl Scouts Cookies - yes we have them. My friends growing up were Girl Scouts
3. Voting Before Drinking - Voting is 18 Drinking is 19
2. Metric- … yes Canada prefers the metric … but since we are so close to the states we use the imperial too.
1. Pharmaceutical Commercials - Yea we have them… but they aernt as cheesy

How about mass shootings? Or more mass shootings than days in a year? Just american things.

[RnSghT]

most of the things on this video you can find in canada so i would prob rename this to north just america.

[amit]

They have free refill for drinks in other countries, lol 😆 😂

[jeremymillette]

We got alot of that stuff here in Canada. The mint girl guide cookies are the best!

[rick]

free refills are very much a thing in the UK, lots of places do it

[Gamespectives]

Some restaurants in Asia also do free refills.. and sliced bread is also common in South East asia for many decades now

[niyiogunro]

In Nigeria we do our Black Friday shopping online even with our shitty internet. absolutely no one here goes to shops to fight over material things

[sibusisiwendabazokufa]

sliced bread is common in Africa. Free refills can be found in South Africa. In fact, several of the things on this list are common across the world.

One thing I have noticed is that US chocolate, like Hershey’s, can taste like sour milk, compared to European chocolate.
Also, when I visited the US, I was shocked by the large portion sizes in restaurants, even for the starters.

Sliced white bread is the only bread to buy in the uk
