I wanted to another creator I really like, in the UK, a parcel too, but it was over $50 and that was for something determined by size and more so on weight. But the size was a decent size, just needed to be more intent on weight I think? Which is interesting cause sometimes its the opposite of just fitting what you can in a certain size I feel. But then again, Idk if it's the same price from Hawaii to Canada or maybe just a little cheaper as it's in North America, as opposed to over the pond lol 🤷

I always thought Wimpy was a South African brand. But as it turns out, it was actually started in 1934 in Bloomington, Indiana. Then it was franchised in the UK, France and South Africa. Since 2007 the international HQ of Wimpy has been in Johannesburg, South Africa

About the "innit" thing, I'm an Arab who usually speaks English with a general American accent, but I use the word "innit". I don't even know how it got into my lexicon, maybe because my parents formerly lived in Britain and I inherited some of their speech patterns, since they usually speak in a distinctly Arabic fashion, but with some influence from the RP pronunciation of English. I know I'm going off track with this, but my parents also lived in Germany and spoke German between one another when I was younger until I started learning German, at which point they gave up and started speaking German with me when they didn't want anyone else to understand what we were saying. I still speak German with them, since my other siblings don't understand German. Oh, also, Marie Laveau seemed familiar, mainly because she was. My dad is a big fan of the country singer Bobby Bare, who made a song about her.

I get oddly emotional about these kinds of videos because I love seeing these items shared around the world and how much care you take in opening them. Helps me feel connected to a community. Thank you JJ!!

That's really wholesome to hear. I oddly too! Its nice cause even though on another video, he mightve skimmed through it quickly; it's cause of the time for the video, but I could also tell that it wasn't meant to offend but rather to just show the audience and explain without going too much on a detour. But it's nice cause JJ also explained that in the ending saying that he will off camera take more time to go through details of the items off camera and that was nice to hear, not that I didn't believe it but I'd feel that some might misinterpret his hastened motions for being that. As being someone who pays attention to details, weirdly... I could tell he was sincere the entire time 😇❤️

Hey jj. Just wanted to say that you taught me a lot about Canada and some other countries. So now my friends are impressed and jealous

Fun fact: Wimpy was found in Bloomington, Indiana, United States in 1934 but the headquarters is in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Being from Carroll County Maryland it's crazy to see someone look through the visitors guide and see things for the first time from our little towns like sykesville and eldersburg. It's nice to see these places through the eyes of someone who hasn't there. We see these things everyday and take them for granted I think

12:15 I recognize that bag. Sprouts is the whole foods competitor in the west coast and the southern u.s., a.k.a the sun belt

British place names are stupid and the spelling is often seemingly deliberately misleading. The "W" in Norwich is silent, so it's Norrich (and the "O" is as in "not"). We seem to be fans of silent Ws, cf. Warwick ("Wor-ick"), Smethwick ("Smeth-ick"), and Woolwich ("Wool-itch"), but we're very inconsistent, because we pronounce the Ws in other place names, such as Nantwich and Prestwich. It's not just Ws we don't bother to pronounce: Lincoln ("Lin-con"), Leicester ("Less-ter"), Worcester ("Woos-ter" giving us "Woos-ter-sher" sauce - but with a North American accent, the OOs and Rs in that spelling might throw it out, so maybe "Wuss-tu" ("tu" as is "tuppence") and "Wuss-tu-shu" ("shu" as in "shut") because we don't like Rs either). Some places we just cannot agree upon: Is Shrewsbury pronounced "Shrews-bry" or "Shrows-bry?" Is Alcester "All-ses-ter" (as in Cirencester ("Siren-ses-ter") or "All-ster" like Leicester? And we cant decide if there is a silent "E" in Evesham, giving rise to the alternatives of "Eve-sham" and "Eve-a-sham") We do it with surnames, too, e.g. Featherstonewaugh is pronounced "Fan-shaw", and Cockburn is not pronounced like the result of an over indulgence in self love, or some form of infection, but rather "Co-burn". Southend, to be pronounced authentically in the accent of the locals is "Saafend" with the "A" as in "safron" but longer. The etemology of "innit" is that it is essentially a contraction of isn't and it, which has become a widely used filler word at the end of sentences, innit - particularly amongst da yoof, innit. The Thames is pronounced the "Tems". I don't know how the spelling and the pronunciation are linked. Hartlepool is ridiculous, because most people would say it as you said it, but it's Hart-lee-pool with the stress on Hart. We also have some ridiculously named places, e.g. Ashby-de-la-Zouch ("Ash-be-duh-luh-zoosh").

Although salt water taffy is American, it is not from Colorado. The story goes that a big storm went through an East Coast beach town (people from Atlantic City NJ say it was there) and flooded a local candy shop. The candy maker was forced to throw out an entire batch of taffy. Some kids saw him doing this and asked if they could have the taffy instead. When asked what the flavor was, the candy maker replied that it was salt water flavored. The kids loved it and the candy maker realized that a bit of sea salt really brought the flavors out. An American classic was born.

The proposition ads are actually super Colorado. Colorado is probably the U.S.'s most proposition-friendly state, and a significant part of Coloradan politics revolves around their proposition system. That includes the Colorado Taxpayer Bill of Rights - a constitutional amendment passed by the public that forms the basis of Colorado's municipal tax policy. It's actually super interesting (and at times problematic) just how much of Colorado's legislation relies on this system and culture of direct democracy.
