It's so funny that you guys talk about the pronunciation of words like "Risotto", "Parmesan", "Oregano" or "Ciabatta" as if they were English words. It's Italian!!! Both Brits and Americans say them wrong 😂

In our defense, Adidas perpetuates that pronunciation in American advertising.

Saran is a brand name, Many say "tin foil" for aluminum foil.

"They float but they don't allow me to float." OMG Laughed out loud!

It’s Saran Wrap. Saran is the brand name for this plastic wrap.

We say adidas the way it’s said on the commercials so not really our fault

[kristindiane]

So... How do you pronounce "clever"? It has the word lever in it

[rubiginosaa]

I really love when you guys talk in American accents

The “Carrots” comment was in the “British Supermarkets explained” video at the 6:50 mark.

Puma is pronounced like the animal y’all are pronouncing it wrong

[Meriale]

I won't unsubscribe to a good sense of humor and the truth. It's rare these days to get both from one channel.

[gregsimones]

False advertising...OMG I feel so triggered...Ha Ha!

[laurencamacho]

I love videos like this! 😊

To answer one of your questions, the reason some say Saran Wrap instead of plastic wrap or “cling film, ” as you guys called it, is because it is a brand, just like some people say “Kleenex” instead of tissue (I think you addressed that one in a different video). Also, we usually don’t refer to it as aluminum foil, usually just foil or tin foil.

[DaltonHBrown]

12:00 Yes people will say "Aluminum foil, " however the reason we say aluminum different from y'all is because we spell it differently than you do. Aluminum(US) v Aluminium(UK) there is an extra "i" in your way of spelling it.

BISCUITS AREN'T THE SAME AS SCONES!!! #triggered 😉

[JoseHernandez-gxem]

Puma in Spanish
Cougar in English
It’s a cat native to the Americas
Therefore you said it wrong

[neilwamser]

As I always tell my English wife there's no right or wrong it's just different

[gingerroe]

Biscuits and Scones are different things in the US. Then we have Cookies. Y'all need to have some real Southern biscuits and sausage gravy! Yum.
