'Murica: "Free refills!"
Europe: "Free healthcare!"

[joanneaugust]

Americans "ughing" at European food in Europe is just the kind of ignorance we're used to from the folks over the pond. Belgium invented chips, they eat them with mayonnaise as well (among other things). Why do Americans think that their bastardized versions of our food are an improvement? Because they're not, I assure you. Literally everything from Ice cream over pizza to chocolate is worse in the US. And this is not an opinion. The list of nutrients agrees with me.

As an Aussie, I find it difficult to understand why there appears to be more checks on age to purchase alcohol then eligibility to purchase a weapon.

"Free refills are the best in America"
Ok, but that only applies to soda or coffee, now everyone knows that American coffee is worse than dishwater, and in an American soda there is 66% ice, so you need 3 fills to get a fair portion

You can eat a 5 course meal, because the proportions are very small. The idea is to TASTE!

[Brusselpicker]

You are still treating Europe as a single country.

[Dqtube]

Fun fact, many of us don't use the word crisps or chips because we are not native English speakers. English is the first language for less than 10% of Europe's population.

You can have 12 courses …but the total volum of food stays virtually the same as a three course. They want you to sample delicious food …not to make you puke 😊😊

[MamaBulgaria]

I hate when the server comes every minute to check on I have to smile and explain myself. I haven’t even takes a bite and she is already here asking me how is the food…

As Serbian, it is also weird to see anyone carrying guns. While we have a lot of guns around, they are mostly kept at homes, locked away. Carrying gun requires a different type of permit than just owning one.

The funny thing about English teeth is that recent studies have found teeth in the UK stronger and healthier than American teeth! Apparently all the procedures Americans go through to whiten etc. end up weakening their teeth considerably, destroying the enamel at a rapid rate. People in the UK do practice dental hygiene they just don’t go to extremes to straighten or whiten that Americans do.

10:28 100% true! It would seem weird to see flags everywhere. In Latvia, everybody puts out flags only on national celebration or memorial days. And, no, not the flag of the EU because each country here has their own national flags!

[nightcorelore]

„Do you not have opinion segments in the news?“ is my new favorite non-satirical American question 🤣

No, silly boy it’s the news… it’s supposed to be short, precise and most importantly neutral

[t.a.k.palfrey]

When the video said, "the US is the most Christian nation in the world", that was defined by weekly church attendance, and claimed adherence. Nominal Church membership is higher in many European countries, but people don't wear their faith on their sleeves as many US people tend to do.

9:40 Spain is a very religious country but we aren't saying "God" every five seconds because of the "don't use God's name in vain" rule. I don't think saying "God" too many times is a sign of religiousness.

[Tharmorteos]

that's kinda interesting.
when you joked about someone being "hardcore" for flying an EU flag, i was like "who the hell would put up an EU flag on their porch / house !?" and then it kinda hit me. you have to understand that people over here don't feel much of an attachment to the european union like the americans do towards the united states.

my best guess is that it's because in europe, most of the countries speak different languages.
another reason could be that each country in the EU is more independent than each state in the US.
if the united states feels like a family to an american, the european union feels like a neighborhood to an european.

so yeah, if i were to fly the german flag outside of any sports event, people would think i'm a nationalist; if i were to fly the european flag, people would think I'm a weirdo xD

[barbarusbloodshed]

I'm German and I've met exactly ONE person here who enjoyed watching Wrestling.
He had a mental handicap due to not getting enough oxygen during birth. Make of that what you will.

One important rule for a good pizza (imho): less is more. It has to be thin, crispy and max. 3 toppings.

[elisabethfernbratt]

It's a bit weird to say "Europeans"... We're not the same in the different parts of Europe. We're very different😅
For example alcohol, Sweden is very strict when it comes to check ID. No matter if you are 18 or 72😮

For info : In France, our usual meals would be only a single dish with maybe cheese, depending on the household.
For celebration meals, like Christmas, we would however have a big meal with entrée, main dish, cheese and dessert, and those meals would easily last 3-4 hours. Not because we eat more, but because we talk more and spend time with the family.

Finally, for people in high society who go to many socialite parties, they would eat those 5 course meals, but each dish would have much less to eat. That is why in high class restaurants you usually find that meals are very small, it's because you're supposed to eat just as much as a normal one dish meal, but over 5 different dishes.
