Bread made with corn flour/meal is not what we call cornbread. The American cornbread is another thing altogether.

You can only get prescription drugs with the prescription from your physician even if they are advertised on TV. So you have to go to the doctor's office first where he is supposed to evaluate your need for the advertised drug, and choose the best drug to treat you condition and then write a prescription for it. He is supposed to inform you of risks and side effects before giving you the prescription. He may allow you to decide which drug to used based on the information he gives you. But that is only when 2 drugs have similar effectiveness.

McDonalds was the only restaurant with an official "super size" but they did away with it back in 2004 so it's been almost 20 years since we've had an official super size. Also, Black Friday isn't quite as intense as it used to be because a lot of retailers have started doing their best deals online. Most of the rushes were caused by really good deals but since the stores would typically have less than 10 of that item people would push and shove and even worse to try to get to the deal first. Also Also, car mechanics in the United States have to buy both metric and imperial (standard) tools because for some reason all vehicles use both metric and imperial bolt sizes. It's one of the most irritating things I've ever had to deal with.

Supersize was an upgrade to a gigantic fries and drink size. Also, Black Friday has largely gone away due to online shopping.

Most Americans do not like spray cheese or plastic American cheese.

my area hasn't had the super size option since the 90s

Molly, don’t know if you’ve had baby Beesley yet, but wanted to tell you, take it easy, don’t give yourself a hard time or be judgemental on yourself. Being a mother is a learning experience. Don’t think you can do it all on your own. Take care of yourself & talk to your mom, for advice, even just when you need to vent because she will understand.

We mostly throw our trash away. We don't put big stuff in the garbage disposal all the time. We mostly just spray and wipe the sink with gloves on and a sponge.

During the Carter Administration (1977-1981), We tried to change to the metric system, due to an Executive Order from the President. Speed limit signs were now listing MPH and KPH. Automobile speedometers were the same way. Math teachers had to teach the children both systems, focused mainly on the metric system. Some gas pumps listed both gallons and liters. Then Reagan got elected and thankfully reversed that Executive Order

A couple of the pharmaceutical commercials weren't real. They were on comedy shows.

The pharmaceutical commercial that you said “wow“ to was a satirical commercial on the TV show Saturday Night Live. Our normal drug commercials are not that blunt!

Super size was eliminated after the movie Super Size Me came out. The fries and drink would be bigger on a super sized meal.

American cheese is called processed cheese outside of the US so technically doesnt exist outside of the US because it has a different name but actually does.

Our white bread is usually sweeter than the white bread in the UK. It is usually made with bleach flour and dough modifiers, so it is a little different than what you guys get.

Nate Bargatze's bit about imperial units on SNL is hilarious. He played George Washington at Valley Forge

Don’t put bones or anything too hard in the garbage disposal. It’s more for scraps. For instance when you’re cooking there might be peeled vegetable skins, parts of fruits and vegetables you’re not going to eat and of course just food left on plates excluding bones. You put it in the garbage disposal, run the water, turn it on and down it goes. This is one of those “don’t knock it until you’ve tried it” kind of things. I wonder if Laurence from lost in the pond likes garbage disposals.

We also all learned the metric system in school but after that most of us have never really used it

I make jalepeno cornbread with bacon crust. Made in a pie shape in a cast iron skillet, it is the best

Free condiments in fast food places. The first time I was charged for ketchup packets in London, I was shocked.

you use the water sprayer to put into disposal. when you run the disposal you have to run the water down the drain also. you cant put everything into the disposal and once in awhile you should put in a lemon or the like to ensure it doesnt start to smell bad...

You don't have to touch the stuff you're putting in the garbage disposal, you can just use your sprayer. Do you have those in Jersey? They're hand-held sprayers similar to what you'd see outdoors at the end of a garden hose, but instead attached to a hose that retracts to counter level when you are done with it, and is built into your sink base. Most U.S. sinks come with holes placed and sized for, from left to right, the hot water spigot handle or knob, the water faucet or tap, the cold water handle or knob, and then the sprayer. For sinks made to accommodate a faucet that has a swingable handle controlling hot and cold water simultaneously, there would be just a hole for the tap and a hole for the spray head. Incidentally, whenever you use the sprayer, water is cut off to the faucet; they can't operate simultaneously.

That was so funny that you guys thought that the pharmaceutical ad about killing somebody was real! That was just a skit! Pretty funny one too.

I just helped my daughter deliver her 5th (another boy) Thursday night. Hope your delivery goes well.

All videos that try to explain to Europeans about Waste Disposals are incorrect. The food from our waste disposals is filtered out at the sewage plant. All of the waste is then made into fertilizer that is sold to farmers (some cities just give it to local farmers for free). I don't know why tese videos can't do their homework first.

It’s probably been said already but Black Friday isn’t anything like it was when I was a kid! Online shopping with stores worldwide having “black Friday” specials days before our actual day has really hurt most retail stores here and more and more people are just not doing the typical B Friday tradition! Even here in the states for about the last 10 years or so more retail stores are foregoing b Friday and having more unprecedented sales before that. Then stores started opening for the second half of Thanksgiving Thursday to start their deals.

I was honestly surprised that only half of us have garbage disposals. You don't need to use your hand on stuff in the sink, you just rinse it down. Super sizes were pretty much phased out after the Morgan Spurlock documentary Super Size Me. Black Friday isn't as crazy as it used to be since Amazon. The drinking age creates a big problem because it means alcohol is forbidden fruit for most of the time you're in college.

Until the 1980's the legal drinking age varied from state to state. The drinking age was 18 in most states, but in some states it was 19, 20 or 21. Then in the early 1980's there was an effort to curtail drunk driving. Instead of advocating for earlier closing times for bars and nightclubs, (which can be as late as 4am, in my native NYC), or on raising the age for driving licenses, the focus was on the drinking age. Many states refused to comply. So the federal government threatened to withhold highway funds to any state that would not raise the drinking age to 21. That's why every state in the US has 21 as the legal drinking age.

I know the UK uses Imperial for a lot of stuff. As for the drug ads I simply ignore them.

When I was a kid, the next-door neighbors had a trash compactor built-in under their kitchen counter next to the sink. Unlike the garbage disposals under sinks, you placed solid, dry waste in the trash compactor's pull-out drawer, pushed it back in until it locked, pushed a button, and the rubbish inside the drawer was compressed to a much smaller, dense cube, to take up less space when disposing of it later. Now that most homes separate out recyclables, and maybe even sort them by material, trash compactors have fallen out of favor.

When you pause you need to get in the habit of pushing the *Back🔙 Button* because many times you pause in the middle of them explaining the answer you're asking us to answer

On a few of the points made in the video. Garbage disposals in America are mainly to be used for softer foods like pasta, eggs (not in the shell) and similar foods so they do not have to be scraped into a garbage can before washing dishes. You can scrape it into the sink disposal, turn it on and rinse the ground up items down the drain line. Chicken bones, ham bones and other hard objects are not intended to be put into the garbage disposal and will likely clog it up or break the disposal and are not meant to replace a garbage can or bin. Spray cheese is basically mild cheddar cheese in a can that squirts out onto whatever you would like to put it on. What most videos don't show or tell you is that a can of spray cheese is equal to many slices of American cheese and will more than likely make you ill 🤢 if you spray a can of it directly into your mouth and eat it the way it is depicted in a lot of movies and tv shows. In regards to Black Friday it has changed a lot in America in the past five years or so. Online shopping has replaced a lot of the shopping people used to rush to stores to do on Black Friday. Now Black Friday deals are advertised online and can be bought during a certain time frame at the sale prices. While stores still have sales on items in store on Black Friday they also have pre Black Friday sales for a few weeks before the actual day as well. One thing to note in regards to Black Friday sales and electronics is that stores are generally selling their oldest stock and models in stores on Black Friday while if you want the latest and greatest models, brands or kinds of electronics you'll have to purchase these online. As a result of these changes Black Friday is now almost just another shopping day at stores. Any videos of people trampling over each other to get into the store were made years ago prior to online shopping when the only available items were what was available in the stores themselves. Times have changed.

We stopped doing super sized a long time ago...that was about 1.5 days of calories in one meal.

I always find it funny when people get upset over the use of the imperial system. There's no wrong way to measure something.

I Love this episode!!! I am 46 years old and have never delved this deep into the history of The Declaration of Independence!!! Not even when I was younger in school!!!

The drinking age wass changed to 21 due to too many drunk driving accidents by those that were under 21. The federal government can't actually change the drinking age within each state, however, they can attach that requirement to federal highway funds so states make that change, which was what was done in the 1980's. States could still have a drinking age at 18, however, they would receive no money for the interstate roads through their states.

6:20 “Super-size” wasn’t an official “size”. It was an upgrade to the largest size for the sides. Most combos are (and have always been) advertised and sold as a medium. But you have always been able to super size the combo to a large. This is why the order taker would ask you if you wanted to super size you meal. It is still available today.

McDonald's ended the "super size" extra large portions in 2004. That's nearly twenty years ago; WatchMojo isn't keeping particularly current. Physical Black Friday sales took a huge hit during COVID. Online Cyber Mondays, week, weeks, etc. received a huge boost during the lockdowns. I don't see physical Black Friday frenzies equaling their peak from years ago. I seem to recall fewer stores extending their hours around Thanksgiving for Black Friday in the last couple of years. Garbage disposals are great because there are inevitably some small bits left on plates, bowls, etc. and on pots and pans left to soak in the sink for cleaning. You obviously want to get the larger pieces into the garbage or a composting bin, but those aforementioned smaller bits are annoying to have to gather up for disposal. We use US customary units, not Imperial, in the US. A US pint or gallon are smaller in volume than an Imperial pint or gallon. I suspect the UK would retain the (Imperial) pint in pubs even if the US went fully to the metric system. Don't you guys still use the stone as a unit of weight?

Never put a whole meal in the garbage disposal. Mostly little scraps.

Yay! Congrats on the baby. Sending lots of love from Wisconsin.

Black Friday is not crazy like it used to be. Most stores have figured out a way to keep people from fighting and the videos you saw were the same video over again. Most people are chill about it.

You are correct. There was a “super size”.

The problem with so many of these lists, is that while these things do exist in the US, they are often far from everyday things. Girl Scout cookies are sold for only a few weeks out of every year, the exact times vary with region in order to even out production. Sure spray cheese exists, I have bought it, but I may also go years without buying the stuff, and even then may only buy it for specific uses, like a picnic travel snack. About the only thing here that most people see on a nearly daily basis is advertisements for prescription drugs, and most people ignore them, or make fun of them, as they rarely even tell you what the drug is designed to treat, instead they show people outdoors being active, and say, ask your doctor if Fakezantic is right for you.

"Not as violent" lol. Black Friday is just shopping. There have been incidents, but it's rare. We aren't all trampling people to death. You're more likely to die driving to the store.

You actually send very little down the disposal. Mostly Scrape plate in garbage but all those stray bits left behind get sent down. Best way to not have to empty that little strainer sinks without a disposal have. If you dump everything down it, it just wears it out, can gunk up your pipes. Be good to it and it will be goid to you.

I talked with a British person once who described a garbage disposal as "that terrifying sink blender thing." That's the best description I've heard to date.

As an American, I can honestly say I have only ever seen a garbage disposal on TV or in a movie.

@15:30 This is an ad spoof from Saturday Night Live (sane show as Colin Jost and Michael Che jokes). The show is live, so it’s funnier because any mistakes can’t be re-filmed. It’s written by younger comics.

Girl Scout Cookies are sold only once a year as a fundraiser for the scouts. Its one of the reasons for the popularity.

They are referring to the white bread being pre-sliced and then packaged for sale.

Binging your videos today. Thank you for all the fun content.

That last Big Pharma commercial (satire) starred Kristin Wiig and Bill Hader, comedians of Saturday Night Live (SNL on NBC) fame. They, too, were pointing out the obvi ridic stupidity of all the manufacturers' CYA-legalese warnings of side effects one might incur, when taking said prescription meds. 😆Now, you know.

They actually ran a national poll of who would want to switch to metric because hospitals and doctors have to use metric but most of the country uses imperial and 83% wanted to keep our system! Don’t fix it if it ain’t broken

Prayers and love from Washington State. Hope for an easy delivery, Millie. Thank for entertaining us. It always makes my day to see you both.

That spoof Chantix add was so accurate. I took Chantix to quit smoking...the mental changes were insane (no pun intended)

ate plenty of white bread when I lived in the Netherlands lol in the US we are taught metric in school....but we stick to what we know best lol

I remember that spray cheese, it comes out of the can the same way reddi whip comes out of the can. We had some at home but I'm not sure who bought it, my sisters or Mom. I haven't seen a can of it in 50 years

We learn both imperial and metric, but in daily lives it’s usually imperial. I think the only thing we don’t really see metric is with kilometers, but even then sports still use kilometers and meters.

We usually run the water and push the food in the sink using a spoon or spatula from cooking into the drain, where the disposal is already running. We don’t often have to touch the food. That specific depiction was a little odd.

The reason refills are free is the cost of drinks to the restaurant is every very low. Well under $0.20 each. For many restaurants, drinks are the profit center.

I was watching a video about that famous river in England with the house boats on it, and all the British people were talking in Feet and Miles. "My boat is 16 feet long and I dock it 4 miles down the river."

The drug commercial was a comedy skit.

Just FYI the drug side effect thing was a joke. Our drug ads usually rattle off the side effects like an auctioneer. Also, keep in mind that the farther down the list the side effect is, the less likely it is to happen. Drug clinical (the tests before release) have to report EVERYTHING that adversely affected the patient while testing the drug, no matter how stupid sounding. If the person steps off a curb and gets hit by a bus, that has to be reported in the clinical patient testing. After a few million test patients take the drug in clinical, the top side effects are placed with the drug paperwork made available to patients at a pharmacy or online. Doctors are given a list of contraindications, medicines that don’t mix, usually in their computers. They ask you every time you go in to make sure another doctor hasn’t prescribed a drug that is causing a problem or to make sure you aren’t taking an OTC drug that causes problems. That happens a lot.

You were right it was a Time in America we're just about every fast food place, you can supersize your order and they would make it bigger and you can go get drinks from gas stations AKA petrol stations and you can get the supersize cup and different stuff like that but that was a long time ago they don't do that anymore

Love you guys. Good luck with the baby

There used to be a "Jumbo" size at one point too

Waste disposals are only meant for things like peelings from vegetables,and egg shells. You aren't suppose to put bones in it or packaging The majority of Americans do not use spray cheese . That's a minor thing ,not a big part of our culture so I have no idea why they would include other than as a way to denigrate our culture "American cheese" is a name given to a type of processed. It is not meant to be real cheese. It is mainly for melting on burgers or grilled cheese sandwiches. The states of Wisconsin and Oregon are the biggest REAL cheese producers in the US

Hope your delivery is easy millie.

The medical care price segment is correct but also misleading. My out-of-pocket is $6,700 a year, but my insurance covers most costs so I never reach that limit, and it's easily affordable. $72 a month or so. Honestly, if you can't afford $72 a month, or even higher, that's on you.

I recall back in the late 70’s early 80’s. In school when the teachers were starting to teach the kids about the metric system..and how they always were saying this is what the US is switching to…Well..that didn’t work out well..lol..and I’m glad..on Girl Scout cookies I’m thinking we’ll have to send you two some as we are coming up on the month when they come out!..Last year I stopped twice at a young ladies table outside a store and between both trips I bought over 125.00 in cookies..and thin mints are still my favorite

Im sure there are a lot of weird things that only exist in the UK as well

Millie, with the garbage disposal, you hit the nail on the head.

Shoppers have been pressed thru closed glass doors ;-(

"Super Sized" just means bigger soda and fries. The burgers stay the same. It was a sales technique to get you to pay 50 cents more for 12 cents of product. It was a deal that people thought was in their favor. Brilliant marketing.

McDonald's got rid of Super Size after Morgan Spurlock's movie embarrassed the company, but Wendy's still has Biggie Size. I hope you recognized the drug TV commercial parodies from The Family Guy and Saturday Night Live were comedies.

White bread only in America? Somebody needs to Google on this channel. Damn, thin mints sounds so good right now! Yum 🤤 can’t wait for Girl Scout season to start back up again

For those who don't know, the Great Value mint cookies from Walmart look, taste, and smell exactly like the thin mint girl scout cookies, especially when kept in the freezer.

He said that the bread there looks ooo..ah..ahhhh.

The benefit to the garbage disposal is that no food waste gets stinky in the trash can. I can go all of a week without taking out my trash if there’s no food waste in there.

15:30 that was a Saturday Night Live skit. Not a real commercial

When it comes to the imperial system, we don’t really care if other people get confused, our country is so embedded in it if we were to change it, it would cost us a lot of money, and a lot of effort to get everything changed. Everything here is measured in inches feet, yards in miles and for us to change all of that because you all get confused by the imperial system doesn’t make any sense at all. I do have to admit I don’t know why they started as on it, but who cares, your metric system requires a little translation for those of us here.

There is actually a film called "Super Size Me" (2004).

I think I commented on one video similar to this one. Hate Garbage disposals. It does have a switch on the wall and is loud. Throwing garbage in my sink is not appealing to a lot of us. I’d rather scrape into bag. New dishwashers you don’t have to scrape at all, so I’ve been told. That’s unappealing too. The white bread, I think he meant the fact it was sliced. Maybe that sliced white bread was started here. Who knows. McDonald’s just announced they were ending free refills. Because of the nitwits who use drive-thru and come back with empty cup in the drive-thru and want a refill. All the stupid stuff here is because of the young people, especially the out of control ones. We have a lot of them. Our Health Care system is complex but the hospitals do help you. Some stuff about this country is over the top. We are all different.

Technically, drinking age is a state law while voting age is in the Constitution (26th amendment). The “national drinking age” is tied to federal highway funding. States can have a lower drinking age, but they lose a lot of their federal highway funds. States can also lower the voting age. There are some who want to lower the voting age to 16. Some localities actually have 16 as their voting age for elections for that locality (mayor or county council) but not for statewide or national elections.

The USA is a hybrid of Imperial, and metric systems. Anything that's medical related is usually in the metric system, as well as alcoholic products. Even big bottles of soda are in 2L bottles, however, small cans are in FL Oz,'s. Travel is in imperial, and fuels is too.

yeah back in the day we had Super size at McDonalds when I was a kid, around the 90s and early 2000s. They no longer have Super Size.

No meat or bones in the garbage disposal!!!

5:21 Freeee!! 😂 Flipping hilarious 😂👍🏼

The drinking age was lowered at the beginning of the 1970s to 18. I turned 18 in 1974 and was drinking. The rates of drunk driving involving the age group between 18 and 21 really went up. That was when Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (ing?) started raising the alarm, so many people killed. They put the national age back up before the end of the 1970s and grandfathered all the ones that turned 18 prior to the age increase in. They were allowed to continue drinking and the law was phased out.

Hi guys! I can switch between Metric and Imperial pretty easily. A kilometer is 6/10 s of a mile, an inch is 2.5 centimeters, a foot is 30 centimeters, a teaspoon is 5ml and there are 3 teaspoons to a tablespoon, 2 tablespoon to an ounce hence 30 mls per ounce. 16 ozs. to a pint, 2 pints per quart, and a liter is about a quart, a kilo is 2.2 pounds (when dealing weed in high school, I always thought of the .2 as a bonus), a yard is a little less than a meter and so on. All of our medicine is metric. If you want to get into some really weird measurements, check out apothecaries measurements.

One thing that's very common nowadays in the USA (not in other countries) are multi-stories STORAGE FACILITIES.

As an American, I was surprised to go to Italy and see that their portions are often larger than ours.

my cat goes nuts over the canned cheese. as for black friday, I stay home and avoid shopping or any other activity on black friday. nature's own is my fav white bread. but I also love the 12 grain bread for a turkey club.

lol when cabbage patch kids were first introduced they were in such demand that stores would make a statement to their customers when they received a new shipment. People went crazy trying to get one and many stores had to set up with security and stuff like they typically would for thanksgiving. We didn’t have the internet so the people who would set up scams for buyers had to do something like a back alley transaction like they were selling drugs

I have never eaten spray cheese.

I am a 53 year old American female and I can remember when refills were not always free and when you asked for a small drink, you got a small drink. I really didn't like when the super size came out and wish it would go back to more normal size. But I also remeber when gettting fast food was only done as a treat or just on road trips, not everyday thing. I also remember ads without presciption drugs. That really seems like it has been a thing in the past 10 to 15 years or so, because I do not remember them being on when my two older sons were little. They are in their 30s now. However, my two younger sons who are now in their late teens early 20s and those commericals seem to be on a lot, as well as law ads. Stupid if you ask me. I wish the prescription drug ads were illegal just like cigarette ads are.

15:19 Was a fake/parody drug commercial from Saturday Night Live, FYI.

Black Friday has calmed down since online shopping came around.

96 ounce 7-11 Slurpy cup is one of the most absurd!

Black Friday has been WORN OUT in the US they advertise BF year round at least every season we have someone plastering Black Friday in Spring, or what ever season they're in. They wore it out. Also any electronics at blockbuster prices are typically made quicker and cheaper just to give them a lower price, and sell more.

Legal drinking age used to be 18. They raised it to 21 in 1984. I’m not sure that you can’t drink at 18 but you can’t purchase until you’re 21.
