The electric kettle (which Brits insist no Americans have) was also invented in the US

Heinz Beanz is American. The beans are grown in the US, dehydrated and then shipped to England where they are rehydrated by American company Heinz and then cooked and canned for your English breakfasts.

It's super easy to dump tea into the harbor when it's all bagged up 🤷‍♂️

[happycatginger]

"We might squabble once in a while. But that's only because we can't stand each other." I laughed way too hard at that.

What could be more British than an American professor inspired by a Canadian poem about flowers growing in France?

13:42 The story of how the tea bag came to be is so funny. So these ladies had like a mail-order tea business or something and decided to package the loose tea in little satchels. People were supposed to open the satchel and put the tea in one of those tea strainer thingies. But instead they treated it like you would a herb de provence and tossed the whole bag in. The sellers got letters back from customers commending them on their little baggies and about how convenient they were. So the teabag was born.

Not only did we invent the tea bag, we put coffee in it.

For quite a while, the commercials for Almond Joy and Mounds was: "Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. Almond Joy's got nuts, Mounds don't." I'd forgotten AJ is milk chocolate and Mounds are dark. Both are tasty if you like coconut.

[kennethchrzanowski]

The factory where those Mounds and Almond Joy bars were originally made was in my Dad's home town, Naugatuck Connecticut. It was Peter Paul Candy Manufacturing and I had a lot of family that worked there. The company was acquired by Cadbury in the 1970's.

Another one Lawrence didn't point out is that English Muffins are actually American as well. They were invented by Samuel Thomas in New York.

The strongest tea tradition in the U.S. is traditionally in the Southeastern U.S. states, but not hot tea, but 'sweet iced tea'. Growing up, for dinner and supper, we always had sweet ice tea or milk or water. Dad always had coffee with his meals. Having a Coke with a home cooked Southern meal was rare when growing up. A Coke is what you usually had with a hamburger, if not a milkshake, or just by itself.

As a Texan, I grew up drinking Lipton Tea.
The logo/mascot picture was of a British looking fellow in a suit and tie with a peaked cap, and a huge handlebar moustache holding a saucer and teacup.
But it's Texas, so its freaking hot weather all the time. That's why we drink it sweet, with ice, or refrigerate it. BTW, America is the pinnacle nation as far as refrigeration, and air conditioning. Mr. Louis Carrier can be thanked for that.

I remember as a child hearing an Englishman on television deriding Americans for using teabags. I can still hear the plummy voice saying that only loose tea should be used as the bag destroyed the flavor.

[skyjust]

I remember as a child buying paper poppies from veterans for soldiers ❤

As a musician, I always knew "You'll never walk alone" was American. It's the finale of "Carousel" a musical written by Rogers and Hammerstein back in 1945.

[bamzilla.]

Us Americans did the first Brexit. AHAHAHAHAHAHA

[aj-jgxb]

Maybe it's because of the region I grew up in but I've never associated tea with England just the idea of having a "tea time" I've always associated tea with China.

[pcno]

How about Hoover? I know some British people assume that Hoover was a British company, and they, unlike us, tend to call vacuum cleaners "hoovers", but the truth is that Hoover was founded in 1908, in North Canton, OH, though they expanded into the UK during the next couple of decades and a few UK-made models were even exported to the USA.

There are so many different kinds of chocolate in America its impossible to say UK has better chocolate in all honesty. Every brand tastes different…🤷‍♂️

[aureissimus]

When I was in my 20s, teabags had just been introduced to the UK, and snootier English types said they had "no class." I also had to convince my English friends that Heinz was an American company (one of the Heinzes served in Congress) and Nestlés was Swiss. In North America we pronounce the latter "ness-lees, " but the English say "nestles." I pointed out the accent aigu on the final e, but they brushed it off.
