This video brought back so many sweet childhood memories. I totally had forgotten these walking cane medallions. During my childhood a "Krautschneider" came to the house once a year and cut tons of cabbage which we put in a wooden barrel. The barrel was kept in the basement and the Kraut fermented to Sauerkraut which we had several times a week during winter.

Hey Kelly! I was away for a few days and so didn't get to your video until just now. Yes, I grew up in Lancaster County so the Amish-I was on the north side of the county where we had more Mennonites-was an experience of German culture for me too, although when I was young all of my grandparents generation on my father's side, or most all, spoke Dutch. They used terms like "rutsch" and "verstehscht" all the time in their discourse. One of the German foods that we had in my home-most all of the food was of German or Pennsylvania Dutch origin, was the Christmas Stollen. My mother's family were Wisconsin Germans and that's where that tradition came from. The Pennsylvania Dutch don't do that as you know. But it wouldn't be Christmas without Stollen-and we continued that tradition in my home, even though my wife is not of German extraction. The last thought I had, thinking of German music groups and songs, is that I played "Das Alles ist Deutschland" by the Prinzen for my German classes. They loved it. It became our theme song. Loved your video as always. So much relate to your experience of German culture. Thanks again! Have a good week.

5:38 The Knorr that's listed on Forbes' Global 2000 is Knorr-Bremse (#1107), which manufactures brakes. Not related in anyway to the Knorr that makes food stuff, which is owned by Unilever (#110), a much much larger company, of which Knorr is only a tiny brand.

the 3 ring design is a patent circumvention of the original invented by Friedrich Soennecken in 1886

Interesting your parents lived in Germany, too. Maybe you do a video and share and compare your experiences?!

I love Sauerkraut with Kassler. And when a was a kid I always had my own small Spazierstock at the house of my grandparents with this little pictures on it when we go out for a hike I. The woods. Thx to bring back this great memory in my head.

Great video Kelly! I’m from Pennsylvania also. We called punch buggy slug bug! And when we played the game in the 1960’s VW’s type 1’s were everywhere the game kind of died out with the demise of the bug!

I don't know if you know that Adidas, founded by Adolf (Adi) Dassler and his brother Rudolf, after a dispute the brothers parted ways and Rudolf founded the company Puma

My grandma used to make her own sauerkraut. Also she always called liverwurst braunschweig.

Hi Kelly, something you most likely also grow up with are Levi's Jeans. Levi's stands for Levi Strauss. And guess what, the Company was founded by the German immigrant Levi Strauss. Levi's birth name was actually Löb Strauß. He changed it to Levi Strauss after he immigrated with his mother and two sisters to the US in 1847. Levi was born in Buttenheim, a town near Bamberg in Franconia. More precise Upper Franconia, one of seven Bavarian administrative districts. It is located in the northeast of Bavaria. Levi together with Jacob Davis from Riga in Latvia, who actually invented the Jeans, jointly patented the Jeans in 1873. Without Levi and David no Jeans!

Puma and Adidas are not only German companies, their founders are also brothers: Adolf und Rudolf Dassler. The nickname of Adolf is "Addi" Dassler = AdiDas. They once had one shoe company, that also build the Panzerschreck in WW2. After the war they split up their company and Rudolf Dassler would like to name his part "RuDa" in first place and renamed it in Puma later. Puma also was the inventor of threaded cleats on sport shoes.

Rittersport Pfefferminz is awesome, i love this because my grandma always had it at home and gave me a piece before getting ready for bed everytime i slept at her place.

Thank you for being so kind about Germany! 🙂🙃😊

I am German and I grew up with a lot of things from the USA. Especially movies and - of course - music. Your video reminded me of Carly Simon and her song "You're the Love of my Life". The second strophe begins with the line "I love Lucy and pumpernickel bread". I rediscovered Simon's songs some years ago and I love them. Guess I'll put the "Best of" CD into the player right now.

My stepmother was in California for a year as an au pair in the early 1980s. We had a popcorn garland for Christmas, I think she copied the whole Christmas decoration style from there and at least from a German point of view she exaggerated it a bit. When we were older, we had English Christmas carols! For dinner we knew mac and chesse, brownies (they weren't so well known here in the 1990s), peanut butter cookies....Saturdays we sometimes had sandwiches, American style. But my father didn't really like American food, so after a few years it became less.

Kelly, you are a culture teacher, if it doesn't already exist, now it is.

My grandma used to invite the whole family on New Years Day for Sauerkraut and home made sausages. My mum still cooks this dish (I would like to but my boyfriend does not like Sauerkraut at all). My mum told me that you need that dish on New Years to get rid of the hangover from Sylvester ;) I've never heard about the good luck bit :D And on the walking cane emblems: my grandpa had a hat with pins, smaller than these but very similar in style. You could get these at cottages in the Alps (Alpenvereinshütten) so they signified you actually hiking there. I think this still exists, but I'm not sure if these days it's become a thing for tourist shops to sell, too.

Good to see you in only one function: Kelly. The Kelly, who tells about Germany and the US.

You surprised me. I had no idea that "It's my life" by Bon Jovi and "Lola rennt" had something to do with each other, although I both like the band and the movie.

We celebrate St. Nick here in the Milwaukee area of Wisconsin and they also celebrate it in certain parts of Minnesota.

Nice broadcast again - even if no one of your "friends" showed up (they are always so funny!). I have been living in the Lower Rhine Area, 10 km away from the Netherlands, St. Nikolaus is the main holiday there, when the children get their presents (not Christmas!!!). When I was a child 40-50 years ago, the "name day" was the main day where catholic children got their presents (not their birthday). About 95% were catholic here. Out of "Weißkohl" you can not only make Sauerkraut but also a delicious salat (for barbeque etc.). Slice the Weißkohl like Sauerkraut, put oil, pepper, a bit of salt and lemon to it. let it rest for some hours and you have a cunchy salat. You can also make it the day day before. Then it is softer. Even then it can be eaten for some days (getting more and more soft). It also works with fresh Rotkohl. Or eat German Rotkohl out of a glas or can cold as a salat.

OMG I love Lola Rennt! I lived in Ireland for 8 years and evrytime I was homesick I watched it as it does take place in Berlin. Of course chronological all those places, where she runs don't make sense, but still amazing. Guess thats why I live close to checkpoint Charlie in the middle and heart of Berlin! Do you have stollen in the US? great video :-)

bernard bouzon In The Netherlands we also have Sauerkraut, called Zuurkool, sour cabbage. But we eat it as stew with mashed potatoes and bacon and smoked sausage, and lots of gravy. My grandmother made sauerkraut herself, I believe in the summer and they put it in the cellar till the beginning of winter and it stayed there until it was empty at the end of winter. A big stone pot, we call it a keulse pot (kölnischer topf, a pot from Cologne) and it was about 80cm high and full of fermenting cabbage. It smelled terrible in the cellar, but zuurkool/sauerkraut still is my favorite dish. Zuurkool/sauerkraut is from origin a winter food in The Netherlands. Nowadays you can buy it all year round.

maybe it's only me, but if i compare it to older stuff it seems all the sketch performance videos kinda improved the way you present yourself when it's like this a head-on video

Thanks for your video :)) - Side Note - As I grew up in Hesse (the 80s, Nena was great!!), there was also a tradition on St. Nicolaus (not Santa Clause) Day, Dec 6th, that groups of kids walked through the whole town and asked not only for candy, but first we had to proclame a poem or we sang a christian song with flutes and guitar. Best candy output song was: "Lasst uns froh und munter sein!" - 20 years later in Bavaria I was shocked that there was NO Nikolaus Sing Event anymore, no poems, no chants, only that dumb "Süßes oder Saures!!!"...and suddenly there was this strange halloween horror candy stuff. Sad.

According to Wikipedia, the movie "Lola rennt" (Run Lola Run internationally) served as inspiration to the music video for It's My Life, not necessarily the song. I agree it's a great movie, one of the top recommendations I give to learners of German.

Rumpelbuttskin I can get this name out of my head since I know the video "The first gold digger" from Studio C. :-D

We, in the UK, used to have a sliced white called "Wonderloaf", horrible stuff like all white sliced still is, made using the Chorley Wood process named after their main bakery where it was invented in the early 50's, from flour to baked, wrapped and sliced loaf in 40 minutes, still used today.

Dear Kelly, I was really surprised about celebration of St. Nichola's Day on december 6th! I've always thought absolutely nobody would know this in the US. Rammstein, Run Lola Run and Bob Ross - sounds quite familiar to me. Although I was in my twenties at that time it impressed me. And I still like the gentle and smooth voice of Bob Ross. But let me tell you something vice versa. My mom told me about first american thing she got to know when she was a kid. It was american chocolate and 75 years later she still remembers the taste. She received it as a gift by an american soldier when they captured the small village from where she origins (and crushed her parents garden fence with their tank). What is the first thing I can remember when I was a little boy? Besides a rubber toy (Mickeys dog Pluto) I guess it was a TV commercial of Black & Decker in 1970s. Those were the days :-D. Stay tuned!

Now you have me wondering... did we have sauerkraut New Years a Day? We eat kraut all year long in Cleveland area. My daughter did not like it until we visited Munchen she loved it over there. Now I’m trying my best to make it authentic. We had much German influences given my Grand Mother immigrated to America.

Ah, I didn't know that Knorr was so successfull internationally, again learned something. Also the Bob Ross thing is interesting. If the Pumpernickel you grew up with really looked like the stuff you show in the video, I guess that you probably were a bit disappointed by the Pumpernickel they sell in our grocery stores. I once bought some "Pumpernickel" in San Bruno Ca back in 1995, and it was just like the typically foamy soft kind of American bread, only colored (dyed?) black. That cannot possible be the sort of "Pumpernickel" that made you love it. I like this video!

Both Knorr and Maggi are available in the US. Knorr belongs to Unilever and Maggi belongs to Nestle, so they both have been swallowed up by mega food conglomerates, and are at this point considered and treated more like brands in the US, independent of their origin.

When I was little we used to go to South Tirol every fall. Somewhere in our basements are lots of walking sticks with those badges. I remember having one that looked like a tiny pick axe. xD

I studied abroad in China 10 years ago and I was so surprised to see Knorr in the supermarket there, I didn't knew they sold outside of Germany. No Haribo in your childhood Kelly?

The transition yo make from Nena to Rammstein I find very interesting. And by the way "Kindergarten" is now mostly called "Kindertagesstaette" in Germany. Try to say it like Til Lindemann (Rammsteins's singer). ;-)

I guess Punchbuggy is a game coming from an Englishspeaking Country. In Germany at those times: "Why should you punch a car ?" Pennsilvania 6-5000! Oh, Knorr... Why not Maggi :-D :-D :-D Today Knorr belongs to Unilever and Maggi to Nestle. Haribo macht Kinder froh und die Kelly ebenso! 3 Ring binders are not there in Germany here are 2 Rings or 4 Rings. Oh, Hexenlochmühle Baden, seems like you are tight conected to Palatinate. Nikolaus ist ein guter Mann! Cool Video!

I have been to Pensilvania and talked to an Amish. I understood his Pensilvanian Dutch, pretty well but he wasn't able to understand me at all, when I replied to him in German. I was really trying hard, spoke slowly with no accent, as good as i could, but I he didn't understand me at all.

It took my pretty long to realize Run DCM were rapping about Adidas in their song "My Adidas" xD. It just sounded like something completely different to me back in the days.

Nena's first hit "Nur geträumt" also deserved to be popular in the USA. Its style of music suits US tastes more than "99 Red Ballons". But the text of 99 balloons was far more popular in those days of the "Cold War". Kelly tell us how do you like "Just Dreamed" kzread.info/dash/bejne/e6Cs1LqEj9DVc8Y.html . I heard it when I was 13 when I was driving bumper cars at the fair. And when I was home it was on TV shows and on the radio. That was long before 99 Red Ballons. Btw: Great video again. Mostly I like you are building bridges instead of dividers.

Not to forget these German inventions. Telephone, TV, car, PC, pill, jet plane, motorcycle, bicycle, toothpaste, adhesive tape, jeans, letterpress, dynamo, streetcar, Helicopter, dowels, aspirin, MP3, harmonica, bra, airbag, x-rays, coffee filter, chip card, nuclear fission, social laws, rocket propulsion, etc. These are the most important ones that came to my mind. :-)

Never hear about eating sauerkraut and pork on new years day - could be a regional thing. I'm Ruhrpott born and bred with Sauerland-Märker-roots and the only thing traditional on new years day was the Alka Selzer...

Nikolaus unknown in USA is a bit weird, because Santa Claus is exactly the same guy. :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Nicholas _His reputation evolved among the faithful, as was common for early Christian saints, and his legendary habit of secret gift-giving gave rise to the traditional model of Santa Claus ("Saint Nick") through Sinterklaas_ 6th dec is just his actual death date and therefore the celebration date, which is common among saints. that's why 31 dec is named Sylvester in celebration of the namesake pope. :)

I can’t understand why the brothers did they useless fight. But the companies are still both in Herzogenaurach. And on the same road but different sides of the street. I drive to both every year to the summer sale.

I once saw the game "Punch Buggy" on an episode of _The Simpsons._ Several kids were on a school bus, one yelled "Punch buggy!" and punched the shoulder of the student right beside him. Of course, an explanation came, and then the school bus drove past a Volkswagen dealership. 🤷

HAHA! Best start ever! The fairytales' names. Aha. Some sort of an defense- "Ausputzer" with the famous "Blutkrätsche"? Ross's connection to germany: that there live so many happy little trees in his paintings.😉 My grandpa (Opa) had one of the hiking-sticks, too. Don't want to be to private, but what was your parents' connection to germany? In general. Army, family, job or the country itself? Last i apologize, that you had to grow up with this maybe of german decent, orange, baldy man (has he shown his birth certificate, yet?)
