Many Europeans simply don't appreciate how large the US is. Last month I went on a vacation from the East Coast to Nevada & Arizona. When I got back I was talking to a coworker that lives in Poland, and I said "to put this in perspective for you, my trip was about the same distance as it would be for you to go to New Delhi." He was shocked. Several years ago, I was in Europe and rented a car. In less than 2 hours I went from Germany through The NL and Belgium to Luxembourg. Four countries in less than 2 hours (and with another 30 minutes I could have added a 5th, France).

828 miles from Beaumont, TX to El Paso, TX and 806.2 miles northernmost to southernmost points in Texas, would take 13 hours either way, but that doesn't include time for rest/bathroom stops, stopping to eat, etc. Just to drive from North Austin to South Austin takes 35 minutes. When someone asks how far somewhere is, I think in terms of time not so much distance. Traffic in cities takes time so you may want to drive 27 miles but it averages 35 minutes because of traffic, almost an hour if during rush hour traffic.

With thousands of miles of beaches, many ski resorts, huge mountain ranges, theme parks, national parks, fishing, hunting, landmarks, scenery, etc., most people won’t live long enough to see them. Then each year, millions of Americans go to other countries without a passport needed on cruises. Although many of those people have passports, you can visit Jamaica, Mexico, Honduras, Bermuda, Belize, etc., with a birth certificate and government ID. Even Canada can be entered without a US passport if a person has a pre approved clearance card like Nexus or Global Entry. In fact those may be better.

The number of peanut products is because it’s so cheap. Back before synthetic fertilizers, many crops, especially cotton, pulled nitrogen out of the soil so quickly that it had to be left wild for years to recover. But peanuts 🥜 are one of then few plants that puts nitrogen back in. (Nowadays we can also do it by adding the right mix of bacteria into the soil) So since peanut plants weren’t technically a crop originally, you could sell them super cheap and still turn a profit. As a result, lots of companies figured out how to make them useful. Peanut oil was an early diesel-engine fuel, and is still a common frying immersion. Also, peanut butter is great source of protein that would last longer in storage than meat before refrigeration was common. And now we are all hooked!

Also, in the deep south, where most peanuts are grown, you could go through an entire peanut crop in the off-season, and still grow 1 or 2 other crops the rest of the year on the same land. Also, the general practice would be to pull up the whole plants, get the peanuts from the root system, and then plow the plants into the soil, enriching the soil further for the next crops. Alas, we are now under a peanut price support system which keeps the prices artificially high to protect American peanut farmers from foreign producers.

The US is so vast and diverse in natural landscapes, weathers and climates that there’s really no need to travel abroad to see this natural marvels… except to visit historical sites/cities outside of America. We love this fact, we got it all… no need for more!

The food section was silly. They are giving the impression that American stores don't have fruits and vegetables, and that American don't eat them. All supermarkets where I live have a huge variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. And I don't know anyone who eats canned cheese or burgers with 10 patties stacked up on top of the other. 😄 As for many people not having passports, that doesn't surprise me. The US is huge, and you don't have to leave the US to experience tropical beaches, jungles, deserts, mountains, Arctic tundra. Many Americans travel a lot, but within the borders of the US. A lot of Americans also travel to Canada and Mexico, and until a few years ago, you didn't need a passport to do that. New York City actually has very good quality tap water. Not sure why you would be told not to drink it. I also don't understand the fascination people in other countries sometimes have with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I guess you mostly find them in North America (I think Canadians eat them too), but I would see them as mostly a kid thing.

Quick history nugget, Jefferson didn't just decide not to follow the metric system.

However, when the ship containing the materials he needed, the weights, measurements, and other information he needed to set up the system in the country, was sank during war time, it was decided that to requisition, ship, and set everything AGAIN would cost more money, and more importantly time, that they didn't have.

The USA rules about passports meant travelers going to destinations in Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean did not need a passport until 2009. We could travel with ID (such as a driving license or state ID card) and proof of citizenship (birth certificate). The rule change mainly affects US citizens when they return to the USA as there are no immigration checks when exiting the USA. Most of the countries in question still honor ID and a birth certificate. Edit: The USA does have passport substitutes such as "enhanced" driving licenses and passport cards. Most nations in the Caribbean do not require US citizens who travel there by cruise ship to have a passport if it is a "closed loop" cruise. That means leaving from and returning to the same USA port. US Immigration has the passenger lists for the ships in question so they know who who is a US citizen.

Many neurologists won’t ask their patients if they’d be willing to try a new drug instead sticking with the older drugs & then just increasing the mg taken. Also, some drugs are more expensive & insurance may not want to provide it so they kind of tuck it away until you ask. I was set up with Keppra & Vimpat originally, when that didn’t work my neurologist at the time just tried to up the Vimpat dosage.

As a kid in grammar school back in the 70’s, we were taught about the metric system in our math studies, and it is used very commonly now in some industries here in the U.S. like the automotive industry.

Same here. I simply do not see the problem with converting to a better system of measurement.

Some countries apply the term 'jelly' to gelatin products (common brand names in America are Jell-o and Royal). This is NOT what goes into a PB and jelly sandwich. Rather, use some form of preserves, i.e., cooked down fruit, probably sweetened, maybe thickened with pectin or similar. In the US it is more of a kids' food, but plenty of adults like them too.

The reason there are prescription drug commercials in the US and not so much in other parts of the world is the US does not have a government ran healthcare system. With socialized medicine you get what the government allows you to have, with private medical systems the prescriptions can be asked for by the person because a private company is going to help pay for it. The US also pays more for prescription drugs compared to the rest of the world which allows other countries to be able to negotiate a lower price. In essence, the people of the US subsidize prescription drugs for the rest of the world.

The most common jelly and the one most people get as kids would be Concord grape jelly! Peanut butter has to be salted and sweetened (I’m not sure if that is standard in Europe), otherwise it isn’t palatable. Whether it is crunchy or smooth is purely preference, but the default is usually smooth peanut butter. Also, in the northeastern US there is something called peanut butter and fluff sandwich! Fluff is a marshmallow spread. It’s eaten as a lunch item, but really should be a dessert.

The entire U.S. military already uses the metric system to facilitate operations with our allies. Also, the date formatting, and, the 24 hour clock. It saves A LOT of possible misunderstandings.

I have always preferred my PBJ sandwiches with smooth peanut butter and grape jam/preserves rather than jelly. Another twist you can throw on this snack is putting regular butter on the bread first to add a little different flavor.

The reason food servings in restaurants are so large is because back in the ‘70s the cost of running a restaurant shot up but not the cost of the actual food. In order to justify raising the price so quickly and so high restaurants increased serving sizes.

As for PB&J, 'jelly' typically refers to Grape Jelly, which is sorta like jam but not quite, I've heard it's hard to find in Europe. That said, jam or any other kind of preserves works just as good. Blueberry, blackberry, raspberry and strawberry jams are also quite common and all good. I personally also like peanut butter and orange marmalade sandwiches.

Ricky I've never been to Europe someday I will. But every other country I've been to have some things I thought were strange because it was not what I was use to.But America is huge.

PB&J is so good, especially with a glass of milk. Smooth or crunchy, it's your choice, same with jelly. I prefer crunchy with strawberry jelly and toasted bread.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are awesome! Most people eat them often as children and develop a fondness and nostalgia for them. Kind of like fish & chips in Britain. As for the jelly: I prefer strawberry jam but you can really use any you like. My mom likes to use blueberry jam.

I have to use metric about 30% of the time. A lot of Amazon products are sold in metric, for example. I'm comfortable in both. Much of our grocery store supplies are listed in both systems, so everyone is kind of slowly becoming more metric tolerant. A lot of my camping equipment - cooking pots, water bottles, trekking poles, tarp - are done in metric. Most of my auto wrenches are in metric and I have a decent feel for converting and doing visual size matching in both systems. Hey, I even learned the size difference between British ounce/cup/pint/gallon and the American sizes. That is a weird situation. Our Presidents' Day holiday is even on a weird date because the U.S. did the Julian/Gregorian calendar switch at a different time than Britain and it was in the first decade or two of the start of the country. So there are a lot of the first presidents whose historical (adjusted) birth date is different now than on their birth documents, by about 12 days.

I'm in Canada and officially we use metric, but we also use a lot of imperial too, i even prefer it for a lot of things. Most people i know wouldn't even be able to tell you how tall they are in metric, we all use imperial. Used to work in construction and we mostly used feet and inches too. We mostly use metric to mesure liquids, mesure distance and speed, but for non-liquids we will use pounds, we also use acres for land... Won't lie though, gallons are kinda confusing.

As a natural born Swede and now American (thank you for allowing dual citizenship) the whole deal with tipping is actually not what the video is showing.

Hence the staff can make more money under the table.

I was a State of Texas employee for over 30 years. In government jobs, the longer you work, the more and more vacation days you earn. By the time I retired, I was getting 8 sick days and close to 6 weeks of vacation days each year. Loyalty and years of service is often rewarded with longer vacation time.

I agree with you about the food and dining. Not everyone in America indulges in fast food.

The issue with vacation days arises from a myriad of factors. Most salaried employees are given just 5 days their fist year or 2, then an additional 5 days thereafter until they reach 10 years of service with the same employer. It is also hard to get approval for a week off from work to use those vacation days. Most vacation days are used as sick days, or mental break days.

That certainly was an ODD statement to make. Why would he say that? Even the smallest corner grocery store in the States is very well-stocked with an astounding array of fruits and vegetables ... especially compared to what I've seen in the European countries that I've been to visit.

Peanut Butter and Jelly. 2 slices of bread. Use either smooth peanut butter, or one with nuts (called junky). Spread it on one the slices of bread. Then choose your jelly, I use grape jelly. Spread the jelly on the peanut butter, place the second slice of bread on top and start eating.

My explanation for each: 10. Tipping - This happens because usually the most positions that people get tips for those who are expected to provide customer service. It gages the performance of your server. So, yes, it DOES increase the value of the tip that will eventually be provided. 9. Traveling - Why would you want to go on vacation more than a total or average of 2 weeks? Businesses can't function or get things done without workers being there. We don't travel abroad - especially nowadays - is because travel abroad is unpredictable and there are PLENTY of places in the US to visit. Sure, there are other places in the world to visit, but even if I had a month, I would still have to spend the equivalent amount of money, gas, and hotel to stay somewhere else. The longest I have stayed somewhere is in Puerto Rico. There comes a time at the end of that stay where I am simply getting home sick. 8. Food preferences - The size options are ridiculous. That's why we are all fat!!! Our food is made of crap as well. Too much sugar. Too much trans fat. And what's wrong with peanut butter? Who doesn't like peanut butter & jelly sandwiches??? The peanut butter comes from regular peanuts and the jelly could be jelly, jam, preserves, or marmalade. The cup sizes are ridiculous!!! A medium at Wendy's is a large most other places. 7. College sports - Nowadays - because the NFL likes to take a knee - I personally prefer college sports but I really don't watch much of it. 6. Prescription drug commercials - Problem with this....some doctors don't like you asking about something you heard about on TV. Our drug companies are the greediest of all type of companies I have ever known about. We have a pill for everything. And that's a problem. 5. Soccer - Used to love it. Not so much anymore. I am assuming that when soccer and football exit, you have to have two different names. 4. We have sales tax everywhere. There are some states though that do not have sales tax. 3. I could care less about the metric system. I would rather deal with whole numbers. But....its such a passive thing. We use the metric system with certain things. 2. When we use the dates with the "/" its always MM/DD/YYYY - However, I use military time by writing day-Month-year. 1. Drinking age - This is controversial. Why can we fight in a war and vote but cannot drink at age 18? But then again, there are alot of young idiots in this country. It has everything to do with a combination of culture and maturity. The reason alot of bars put in ice...because they use less product and charge more for the drink. Besides, who wants a warm alcoholic beverage? Especially beer. Gross.

Yes, the US feds hold "highway taxes" over our state's head's for alot of things! FYI, our military uses the metric system exclusively.

Also with vacations. Most Americans will never see even all of America because it's so huge. Every climate zone you can think of. So vacationing within the US is a lot more common for citizens

America isn't for everyone, but the 330 million of us here manage to limp along somehow. PB&J sandwiches rule, especially with ice cold milk. Fine dining is everywhere in the U.S. Why travel abroad until you have seen the beauty here that exists, and that may take a lifetime to do on it's own. Tips, tax, bathroom stall door gaps, the imperial system, calendar dating, ice, time off & sloppy joes will remain a mystery I guess.

Children usually have smooth peanut butter and grape jelly on their sandwiches while adults tend to prefer crunchy peanut butter with bacon jam, onion marmalade, or habanero and multifruit jam also known as Frog bone jam.

There are endless companions to peanut butter, not just jelly. Peanut butter and: honey, tomato, banana, dill pickle, bologna, bacon, onion, and simply peanut butter spoons ( a tablespoon full right out of the jar.)

I live in Canada, we tip similar to the U.S.. We do Sales Tax similar to them as well. I was born in the States, but moved to Canada in my teens, so I use both Metric & Imperial measurements. When it comes to PB&J ( Peanut Butter & Jelly/Jam), you can use any flavor of Jam/Jelly/Marmalade you prefer. The one flavor of Jelly I won't eat is Grape.

I started my first job as a truck driver 7 months ago. I don't have any vacation days. When I hit 1 year, I'll get 5 paid days off. It's been 6 years since I've been on vacation.

We tried making the drinking age to 18. High schoolers were showing up to school drunk & hung over. So the government said “see? This is why we can’t have nice things” rescinded it. There was a grandfather clause thrown in that allowed the under 21 crowd to continue to drink until they turned 21 though.

Sales tax is a combo of state sales tax and city/county sales tax. So you may have 5% state tax and 1% city tax. But it is a little different in every state and city.

PBJ (peanutbutter and jelly sandwhiches) can be made with creamy or chunky peanut butter and be made with any jelly, jam or marmalade flavors. It's all about what you like.

Grape Jelly and white bread for the PBJ. You can use smooth or crunchy. And be sure to enjoy your peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a glass of cold milk.

Most common PB&J sandwich is grape jelly. Strawberry jelly is in second place. A full blow put PP&J sandwich is toasted with Banana Slices added on it.

There are as many favors of jelly/jam as there is fruit and fruit combinations. Some people eat peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. That to me is weird. Some people have peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches. To me that is a dessert and not a meal. My favorite jellies and jams are cherry, blueberry, blackberry, strawberry, raspberry, lemon or lime, apricot and peach.

I know we call the sandwich a Peanut Butter & “Jelly” Sandwich, but most people use Jam instead of Jelly. You can use raspberry jam, strawberry jam, blackberry jam or any favorite. You can really use jam or jelly, chunky or creamy peanut butter. Many children take a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in their school lunches since schools don’t provide refrigeration for their lunches. Of course some children prefer to buy school lunches.

Some people prefer chunky peanut butter, some prefer smooth; you decide which you like more. Jelly, jam, preserves, marmalade; any sweet spread will work. We even have sweet spreads like apple butter and pumpkin butter, which is a paste made from cooked apple or pumpkin and then loaded with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg (cookie spices). So, peanut butter on one slice of bread and a sweet spread on the other slice, then slap together and eat. Personally, I like whole wheat bread; others only use soft white bread. Still others cut the crusts off, while others will butter the bread before spreading peanut butter on it.

Here's the thing about tipping (I own multiple restaurants). It's about the future. If you tip normally, you won't necessarily be remembered the next time you frequent a certain business If you DON'T tip, you WILL be remembered (ask any pizza delivery driver in the States) IF you tip BETTER than average, you also will be remembered and will most likely receive preferential treatment in the future. "The wheels of the economy turn faster when greased properly."

We have a network of Federal and State highways. The federal government provides funding for upkeep of federal highways but the state highways are totally funded by the state. Federal funding for highways can run into the millions which would put a pretty big dent in any state funds.

Drinking age was raised to 21 & was tied to highway funding because of so many drinking-&-driving accidents & fatalities on U.S. highways with large number occurring in 18 to 21 age group. (Federal highway funding helps states pay for highway maintenance & expansion. State taxes & highway tolls pay rest of cost for maintenance.)

White bread with crust, smooth or crunchy peanut butter is your choice. Grape, strawberry jelly is most common. Cut in half is your choice.❤

To add more to the context of Tipping.... Restaurant workers are paid well below the minimum wage for the state... If I recall correctly it was $1.95/hr when I lived in North Carolina 12 years ago. If at the end of their work term (every 2 weeks) if they didn't make minimum wage based off their tips the government would compensate them and pay them minimum wage... which in North Carolina 12 years ago was $7.25/hour and you can deduct medical insurance/social security and what ever else from that as well. If they happen to be working on a holiday they can kind of make up the loss...but you have to deal with unruly customers and those that don't tip as well.

grape jelly with smooth peanut butter is the usual but some like chunky peanut butter and its on white bread. It is a food given to most children (because they will easily eat it) most adults do not eat it all the time, but will for nostalgia.

For anyone who doesn't know how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, jelly, usually strawberry but really any type works. The other ingredient is any type of peanut butter, then all of this on any bread.

Hej Recky...a half Swede, born & raised in the South here. PB&J Sandwich I'm almost 60 & have been eating PB&J sandwiches for most of my life. Peanut Butter: Primarily there are 2 types smooth & crunchy. My preference is smooth. There are others, but are generally slight mods to the primary two. Jelly: There are two primary types jelly & jam. Mostly the difference is texture. Jelly is more of a thick gelatin, while jam is more of a puréed fruit (apple sauce). Jelly comes in almost any flavor of fruit & even some peppers. My favorites are Grape, Muscadine (easily my #1), & Strawberry. While I can't get it in stores in the USA, I really like Lingonberry. Hope this helps more than it hurts. Cheers! Hej då!

One thing about not using vacation days. In many jobs you can use those vacation days to get something back when you retire. Money is the normal payback. Doggybags are great. Because if the food was great, then it will make a great lunch later. No prep, just grab and go.

If you have a food processor and access to roasted peanuts, you can just make your own peanut butter if it's not accessible. Also as for jelly, you call that jam, so it's not actually peanut butter and jelly, but peanut butter and jam... also, you can put whatever you want on your sandwich. There's no rule saying preserves, jam, honey, or anything else cannot be put on a peanut butter sandwich. I myself use peach preserves on my peanut butter sandwiches. It's delicious. I've had PB&J with many different fillings in my life and each one is good in it's own way. Apple butter (kinda like cooked apple sauce, but much stronger in flavor and used as a spread) is phenomenal with peanut butter for example.

Classic American PBnJ, is creamy peanut butter with concord grape jelly on soft white bread. My personal favorite is all natural crunchy peanut butter with no added sugar raspberry jam on a nutty whole grain bread.
