The US Department of Agriculture had no choice but to have black currants banned because the plants became a vector for a disease that threatened to annihilate all pines in America. ... Today, some states lift the ban as new ways to fight this disease are developed. However, this fruit remains very rare in the US.

I can grudgingly tolerate the gap under the door in public toilets, but the side gap is the worst. Who does this help? Who wanted this?

So we went to Ireland recently around Christmas, and I needed something that only a pharmacy sold, and I remember we had to wait a few days after Dec 25th since everything was closed. I’m so used to our 24 hr pharmacies in the US so I was definitely surprised! But good for them for giving their employees a proper break! ❤

Lauren here 🇬🇧 I’m buying Christina a kettle for Christmas, don’t worry guys 😂😂😂😂
120522: these comments are hilarious, I was obviously overreacting for the sake of entertainment, sure if you heat a cup of water to death in a microwave it’ll boil but is that necessarily safe? Not sure how I feel about a boiling hot cup Pyrex of water in the microwave but that’s just me! You people who boil your water in the microwave go for it, I don’t need to hear it a million times, getting a bit boring now it’s been 7 months🤣 bloody hell you…. Korean water isn’t usually drunk from the tap that’s why I was freaking out…. Calm down

Enjoyed talking about some different/interesting things in the US with Lauren! Let us know if you have seen/done any of these things too! 🤣 -Christina 🇺🇸

Even if that bathroom gap wasn't for safety, it was used often. In my elementary school, we actually had a problem with the stalls ending up locked from the inside because kids would use the bathroom and then as a prank just slide under the door instead of opening it.

We actually don't generally call that store the pharmacy. We call it a "drug store." The place within that store where you buy prescription drugs is called the "pharmacy."

Tap water in the US is generally clean, some have an extra filter system installed under their sink or a separate filter for drinking water. So boiling it in a microwave is not really unsanitary. I believe people only microwave water if they need a quick cup of hot water. Many have electric kettle too.

This was interesting. I always boil my water for tea because it steeps much better But I don’t I see why she would say it’s not clean when earlier she talks about drinking it out of the tap at room temperature. 🤷‍♀️

I don't know why there's the gap in the bathroom stalls but the bottom part I'm grateful for. I work as a Janitor (mostly in doctor's offices/medical facilities like where people go to have major surgeries, but do have some non-medical, general public accounts that have multiple stalls in their bathrooms) and it makes my job so much easier. Especially since the pandemic happened. We spray and wipe down the doors including the frame if you will. It makes it so much easier not having to go all the way to the floor AND if it's like only 2 stalls (like in a men's room where there may be 2 stalls next to a urinal) you can mop BOTH from one side, mostly if the toilets are bolted to the wall and hovering above the floor, instead of having to go into each one individually. If the doors and sides went all the way to the floor it would be a pain in the rear.

I looked it up and it banned due to well this:
"The nutrient-rich berries were banned in 1911 because they were thought to produce a fungus that could damage pine trees. As new disease-resistant berries were produced and new ways to prevent the fungus from damaging timber were developed, some states started to lift the ban in 2003."

As someone who grew up in the USA, I was actually surprised when I learned that it's common in the USA to put water in the microwave. The first time I saw this was at university. Students were doing this in the dorms, because they either couldn't afford an electric kettle or they grew up doing it. My family always poured tap water in a saucepan and boiled it over the stove. Until we got an electric kettle, that is.

Hi from Japan. When I first visited the US, it was actually Hawaii. I realized the gap in the bathroom at the airport. I found it weird but I figured it out by myself that it would have been because of the security reason . But I’ve never shared the awkwardness with anyone so it’s finally.

I loved Lauren’s reaction to the microwaving water for tea. 🤣

I am pretty sure the kettle thing is because coffee is much much more popular than tea in the US, so we relied on coffee pots more than kettles. Most people I know drink coffee everyday (often more than once per day) but only drink tea on very rare occasions or not at all.

In the US, it's not uncommon for really small kids being accompanied to restrooms to peek through the gaps in the bathroom stalls and say "I see you!". I feel like that's a situation that everyone overhears at least once in their life, if it doesn't happen to them.

Well, based on these points Brits are similar to Russians. You can hardly ever come across a cafe/restaurant serving iced water (only if it's a drink that goes with ice, like lemonade etc.) Black currant is something many Russians grow in their gardens (we have white and red currants as well, all are reach in vitamin C). In some public toilets you may find a large gap, not everywhere, as they say it's made for safety. Date starts with the day (as in most European countries). The kettle thing isn't even to be discussed 😃 we boil water (maybe cause it might be quite cold, so we wanna drink hot tea). Many Russians drink tea several times a day. I've tasted tea with the water that wasn't boiled but heated. The taste was disgusting. Moreover, it had awful foam (I have no idea why it's like this). Unfortunately, in Russia we need to boil water not only for the taste, but for the safety. Often water, coming from the tap, isn't clean enough to drink.
