They should have mentioned that free refills are usually for coffee and soft drinks NOT alcohol.

Disclaimer: this video completely fails at explaining where the term “Black Friday” comes from - although there is violence that occurs, the “black” part of Black Friday comes from a business term that compares to being “in the red” vs. “went into black”. It’s just comparing net profit vs. net loss in revenue.

I'm a senior in the U.S., and I love watching Lewis. He gets so excited and his reactions are so comical! 😁

Spray cheese exists but most Americans don’t buy it. Foreigners make a big deal about it. People may buy it for a child’s birthday party but most of our cheese is the sane as anywhere else.

It's worth pointing out that we don't use red Solo cups just for beer. People like to have picnics and barbeques away from home, or maybe barbeque in their backyard and have people over. It's much more convenient to have plastic cups and paper plates for this purpose, rather than drag around glasses and dishes, or wash a bunch of dishes. Just pointing that out since the video said everyone else just uses glasses and mugs.

In most countries the flag represents the government, in the US the flag represents "We the People". That's why so many of us fly it proudly.

The drain pipe from the garbage disposal in the kitchen sink goes to the same pipe as the toilet. That pipe goes to the waste treatment plant. If putting scraps in the disposal isn't environmentally friendly, then taking a dump in the toilet isn't either.

[mosesruiz]

To clarify, garbage disposals are environmentally friendly; however, they would not be environmentally friendly in Europe.
Although garbage disposals are not authorized by the European Union, countries in Europe may authorize their use.
The reason why the use of garbage disposals is not common in Europe is because they want to reduce the number of sewer blockages. Much of Europe has older plumbing which uses smaller piping and is unable to carry the extra load of kitchen waste.
Sewage treatment plants in the United States are more modern and can process organic solids into fertilizer and some have the capability of capturing methane gas for energy production.

As an American who just got back from a few weeks in the UK, I can appreciate this video. I didn't realize that garbage disposals were primarily American. And I love our large clothes washers and dryers.

Our national anthem is about our flag lasting through the night while fighting the British. It's a representation of hope, sacrifice, honor, and freedom. We don't have a designated national figure such as a monarch to represent our country. It's probably why we value our flag so much....it's a representation of all Americans have fought and sacrificed for over the years. Just an opinion from a southern American.

To explain the flag sales count. We put small ones on every fallen soldier’s grave on Memorial Day and other holidays. Not including all the buildings and homes that have them.

The lines on solo cups are for measuring out and mixing different drinks. There are several mixing guides out there.

Spray cheese is something I’d categorize as cheap junk food snack. Nobody would actually consider it quality food, but more along the lines of something like cheetos/wotsits.

[latnscorpio]

I died laughing when he paused and looked at the camera after seeing “white teeth” 😂💀

[SolanaDevon]

What non-Americans might not know is that those are measurement markings on a Red Solo cup: the bottom line is a 1 ounce measurement, the next up is a 5 ounce measurement, and the third from the bottom is a 12 ounce measurement (30ml, 150ml, 360ml)

As a kid, I loved eating spray cheese on crackers. The bonus was the fun of making cool designs on the crackers. The tip of the can looked like a cake decorating tip, so could get fancy with decorating. It was art, entertainment and tasty snack all together. Haven't had any in years, but now I'm craving some.

[sarahcoblentz]

A lot of these come down to convenience. Solo cups (and disposable dishes in general) are way more convenient than washing a bunch of dishes for big gatherings.

I'm American, but I noticed when I visited France that when I ordered a coke at a restaurant it came in a glass bottle and you poured it over the ice yourself. Obviously, you had to pay for a new bottle if you wanted another drink. This is very different from the restaurants in America, which usually have a soda fountain that mixes the seltzer with the flavor syrup as it comes out of the machine. No bottles are involved. I don't know about other countries than that, but I'm sure that the soda fountain cuts down on bottling costs and may contribute to why you don't usually have to pay for refills in the US.

[glennrobinson]

The spray cheese doesn't actually spray, it oozes out like toothpaste from a tube on the top of the can.

[geoffrey]

the refils are free because, due to a study that was done " the adverage person would have to drink around 10 cups of soda to actually get their money's worth for the price that they make you pay. the reason for this is due to commercial soda prices are cheep and easy to access and the price of each drink being one of the reasons businesses make a ton of money just off of drinks alone."
