The "white bread" one seems odd. As a European that's travelled around quite a bit, I can safely say that most European countries have some sort of sliced bread, more or less white/non-nutritious as well.

The drinking age was lowered to 18 in the early 1970s. There was such an increase in alcohol abuse and alcohol related highway deaths involving 18, 19 and 20 year olds, that Congress raised the age back up to 21 and tied it to the highway funding for the states.

I'm old enough to remember when there was no such thing as free drink refills in American restaurants - and not just the fast foodies; I remember learning the metric system in the 7th grade because there was a rush on to get Americans educated about it. Just as I was starting to get it, metric system was dropped from the curriculum. I prefer my bread pre-sliced - that way I'll know that it'll fit in my toaster.

Sliced white bread? Dude, you need to travel more. It's been readily available in Australia, New Zealand & the UK for decades from personal experience. I'm sure that it's available in many other countries too. It's been around so long that there are regional delicacies, such as the Chip Butty from the UK & Fairy Bread in Australia, that use sliced white bread as the base.

"super size" was in Canada too. McDonald's stop the term and replaced it with "Up Size" now, and Sliced bread, especially white has been around a very long time. in Canada, the majority drinking per province is 19, only three provinces is it 18. I'm surprised for a CANADA BASED CHANNEL not to know this

Super Size doesn't exist at McDonalds anymore.

Free refills are available elsewhere too , just not for sodas. Super sizes for different foods are available too with different names such as Jumbo and boom-boom

I work for a retail drug store chain in the US. I absolutely loathe those prescription drug commercials. So often a customer hears about a drug through those commercials then comes into the store asking where it is. When we explain that it’s a prescription drug. You need to see a doctor about it blah blah blah they don’t want to hear it.

In Serbia they also advertise drugs. It is usually for cold medicine, probijotic or erectile dysfunction

Poland here. We actually do have white bread, altough it's called "toast bread" here and is not as sickeningly sweet as US version... though, in US most breads found in supermarkets are sweet, Idk why (maybe that's why you have salted butter? which I personally think is an abomination, btw). I only found some bakery varieties edible when I was in US. We also have American cheese? Not sprayed one, but those melted squares from Kraft or Hochland can be found in practically every grocery store, big or smal. Now, Idk about supersizing, but soda refils are common in fast food chain restaurants. It's a shame we don't get coffee refils... but we don't have diners here. And lets be honest, while you can get sandwiches and desserts in a cafe, you generally go there to get high quality coffee, so it's just fair you pay for each cup. We also have medical ads. They're mostly for vitamins, suplements, cold reliefs, painkillers, inflamation and heartburn reliefs, not for prescripted drugs, but they still exist. In recent years they also advertise more health-awareness content, imploring people to get regular healthchecks and whatnot. As for drinking and voting, we can do both at 18. As well as getting driver's license.
