Most countries in Europe don't have dedicated school buses, kids either walk, ride their bike or use the regular public transport to get to school, because they can

As a German, I would have NO idea how else you would buy pickles than in a jar…

The food portions in the US are astronomical. And yes that was a lot of food.

[SNMG]

"What colour are school buses in your country?" In a lot of places that's just not a thing. You don't really need them when the school is within walking distance, or there's a reliable public transport system in place.

Ryan: "What colour are your school buses?"
Average dutchie: "School buses? Kids walk or fiets to school here dude!"

8:09 My first thought about that ice-tea was "It looks like engine oil" 😅

[sameebah]

The whole point of the first clip is that USAnians don't walk and your lack of paths for people to *safely* walk means nobody wants to walk, so that reinforces the "car is king" mentality that you shouldn't walk . . . It's self-perpetuating, and a symptom of the lack of consideration for basic organisation.

Is all that bread necessary?…..How can you call that bread? That is an insult!

When I lived in Houston, as a Brit, every Saturday I took the 20-minute walk to my local bank, to conduct business. Almost every time I took that walk, I also bought a few food items in the supermarket next door. On walking back to my apartment, almost every Saturday, a car would stop offering me a lift, assuming my car had broken down. Surprisingly, 80% of them were female
drivers, which surprised me! I always said no, pointing out it was only a 15-minute walk to my apartment, and they always looked at me as though I was mad!

The 10 dollars for the green beans wasn't even the most shocking thing, but the directions on the package to put them in the microwave 😭😭wtf

[cheleya]

The packaging of the ice tea really confused me. In the first second when I saw it I wondered "why do they put liquid laundry detergent in a fridge" 😅😂

[l.h.]

"Cash out their checks" - now that is crazy. I haven't seen anyone use a check in Sweden since early 90's.

[Cirkelo]

due to the high levels of fructose corn syrup twinkies are actually illegal in many european countries.

[jeboshifru]

"It's just bread" - Germany officially bans him from ever enering their country.(Good thing this is only American bread, so it doesn't actually count as bread :D )

[andypandy]

14:00 "How else do they get to school?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[stanleymaximillian]

Traveling to another place with train and bus in Europe is for around 5-6 hours is often more preferable than with airplanes. The train/bus stations are often at the heart of the city and the seats are more comfortable than in planes. So there is not much time being saved by flying and it is less comfortable. So train and bus is better

[MrRichieHK]

Those "teas" looks like some car oil bottles. Indeed Americans love their sugar, right? :)

[grungegrumpy]

In both NL and Germany bread variety is much more present, and very relevant, than cereal variety. I mean, who needs cereals when you can have the best fresh bread in the world?

[HerMadnessy]

My husband went to work in the US for 3 weeks. When he returned he talked about how no one walks in the US. People thought him and hos swedish co-workers were insane when they suggested walking. Why is that? Why do people not walk?

"It's not even that much food. It does look good though. Is that much, it doesn't look like that much food."

*stares at a portion that can probably sustain an family of 2 adults and 2 kids. Starts to understand why the US might have quite a lot of obesity*
