For those who don't know why soft drinks are refilled free in the US, its because it literally cost the business legit like 5 cents per cup. Say you run out of soda and drink 2 more refills, that only cost the business 15 cents whereas you just probably paid $15-20 for the meal.

In small villages you will often see flags from the specific state (region) the people live in for example the Schleswig-Holstein flag or Bavarian flag when you’re in Bavaria, as the regional (state) pride in Germany is much stronger than the national pride.

I'll tell you why we fly US flags everywhere. The USA is a very big country, made of 50 different states, filled with very diverse groups of people. Each state has its own flag, but the Stars & Stripes is the symbol we unite under. Just as our forefathers did under its earlier versions when they were just considered traitors to the British crown. We respect and take pride in it too, because it represents the values of freedom that were set in our constitution as well as all those that fought and died to protect and uphold them. The flag is interwoven emphatically with our creation myth, our veterans, and all those in military service. It's something that every American can identify with. It's meant for us, to remind us: that we are the United States of America; regardless of our differences or distance between whichever state we may call home, it was never meant to be boastful or tell others that we're better than them.

@@ivetterodriguez1994 so yes and no and answers may vary depending who you ask. So yea correct nobody is like yea I’m going to wave my flag bc of the govt. But the republicans literally call themselves patriots. There is a weird sense of nationalism that is honestly scary to witness. You cannot criticize American history or policies or mention that the US has harmed its own citizens or innocent ppl abroad without being called a commie and some would even call you a traitor. They wave their flags for this abstract utopian “American-ness” that simply does not exist for a lot of people. They always regurgitate that “America is the best country in the world.” They believe that their reality HAS to be everybody’s reality. And while yes like I’m american (perdonally my preferred identifying label is New Yorker) like I believe it’s a privilege that I am a child of immigrants and grew up in NYC bc access to the rest of the world never allowed me to grow up so damn brainwashed. and in my personal opinion by not wanting to criticize they are waving their flags indirectly for the govt. Anyway tldr not directly for the govt but it’s not completely not related to the govt lol hope that made sense!

Maybe they differ at their homes, but when I’ve been to Germany and Austria, the portion sizes at restaurants are almost never smaller than what I’m used to here in America. You can also get healthier fast food their for much cheaper than here. For example, a döner is much cheaper and probably healthier there than like a gyro here and seems to be equally priced as a fast food burger here.

I use to go to school with exchange students-their personalities is exactly like this guy fr Germany. Czech republics, students fr Thailand and Russian, Romanian, Ecuadorian, turkish, arabic... they were all pretty cool ppl, very smart, very experience with life, they were like old souls, they lived life, fast, and weren't afraid to push the limit. They also knew where to draw the line, and treat ppl like human beings. In comparison to American students, I felt embarrassed. I am glad to have made life long friends with these international students, and learned much from one another.

In bigger cities, actually in small towns too(depending where), there are lots of non-fastfood options.

Sure, some people indulge in fast food once in a while, but I feel like the biggest nutritional difference is due to economic difference. Poorer people tend to buy the cheap fast food meals, while people who can afford to dine out more, go for healthier and more local food options. Sometimes I crave McDonald's chicken nuggets but not very often.

So she says since I was born the same year as it happened I don’t have memory of this but she says the flags we placed everywhere to say that we are strong and can’t be taken down by anyone that’s why people have them everywhere.

This is also why especially derbies between neighbouring tribes can get quite roudy around here as that is basically the only area (aside some traditional customs like the spring "wars" around the first of may where the bachelors fight to cut or burn down the may tree of all surrounding settlements before their own is felled) where we can focus our age old rivalries on today

I think water is a human rights thing, so even if you aren't buying food you can usually walk into a restaurant and ask for a glass of water(in my experience). Though I'm guessing it depends on who's running the restaurant as well. Still though, when eating in a restaurant it's required to be free at the very least.

I remember my northern relatives didn’t put ice in their water. After their first summer in Houston that changed.

I always find it amusing how foreigners judge Americans and our food by the restaurants they eat at in touristy areas. If an American wants to eat healthy, they do it at home. Most Americans eat most of their meals at home. ... Same as anyone else in any other country. Restaurants, especially in a tourist area, however, will go way over the top with the portions and anything that might make it taste irresistible so that you buy more.

I agree. If restaurants would cook healthier (less salt or fat for example), it would not taste as good. 😄 And I don't mean fast food, just normal things.

But restaurants in our tourist areas don't taste as shitty though? Like by that logic our restaurants should do the same right?

He did not judge american food or home food, he only judged very specfically fast food of fast food chains and he is totally right - Mc Donald's etc. in Germany is much better than in the US and this has nothing to do with tourism, there are fast food chains in touristy areas in Germany too.

My Italian cousins couldn’t blv how flags were everywhere. They couldn’t wrap their heads around it..😂😂 🇺🇸🇮🇹🇺🇸🇮🇹

This is who they choose to represent America. A damn shame. He asked why are you so proud that you need to have flags everywhere, any answer besides “because this is the greatest country in the world” is unacceptable.

@@vomm Your deduction skills are wildly impressive!

Portions are big, but I think most of us take it home a split it up into multiple meals. I eat a portion then I can have it for lunch and possibley share with my daughter. So a plate might be 15 but split that into 2 meal maybe a 3rd price comes out pretty reasonable.

Hendriks Akzent ist stark. Typisch deutsch. Gefällt mir. 🤣
