Lewis: “I can’t imagine how funny this is for Americans right now” right after I paused the video to laugh with my husband about Millie finally seasoning her chicken. 😂 (Texan)
Eureka! Millie is finally seasoning her chicken! Ice? Just get an ice cube tray, fill it with water and pop it in the freezer. You don’t need an ice cube maker in the fridge. Yeah, there is a lot of diversity here in the states.
We have a refrigerator with an ice maker. There is an ice and water dispenser in the door. We turned the ice maker off because the stupid thing leaks inside the freezer and it would stop making ice until we chipped the ice off. We have a small deep freezer that we have ice trays in. It's much easier to fill the ice trays than bother with th ice maker. The warrantee was for 1 year and it costs way too much for somebody to come and fix it.
If you only have one tray, you're constantly out of ice, because it makes about enough for one drink, and then it takes a couple of hours to freeze the next batch. You gotta have at *least* two trays, preferably three.
I empty the trays put the ice in a container or even a gallon ziplock bag then make more ice. As I use the ice I’d make more ice. Simple solution really.
Europeans asking why we don't travel to counties that have no air conditioning, less options, unfriendly service and no one will talk to you. We crazy Americans clearly don't know what we're missing😂😂😂

My stepson is British and lives with his mother (who is British and lives in Colchester) and when he was 10-12 years old, we would fly him to the States to spend summers with us in Oklahoma. His mother didn’t like the thought of him having layover flights once he was in the U.S. - one time his flight had a layover in Minneapolis and that crazy woman couldn’t understand why we were paying for him to catch a connecting flight to fly him from Minneapolis to Tulsa, OK, when she thought all we had to do was drive from Tulsa to Minneapolis to pick him up… that’s over 700 miles (about a 10-1/2 hour drive) one way. She had no idea how big the U.S. is and probably to this day thinks we were just being lazy 🤷🏻♀️
@@sharnadixon-scott710 This is one of two main reasons why infrequent travelers who aren't in a screaming hurry should consider scheduling long layovers. (The other reason is, if your first flight is not late, you can get out of the airport and see the city it's in for a few hours.)
So you guys just what? Throw your chicken in the oven all willy nilly no seasoning? 😮 It definitely never occurred to me that there are whole countries full of people not seasoning their poultry 😂 Great video!!
Well usually it depends how we are cooking it usually we will marinate it in a liquid with spices then if it's deep friends coat it with a seasoned batter. If it's a full roast chicken you may coat it in something like butter and herbs if you dont want spice. If it's in a sauce like a curry the spices are added to the sauce .
Ghirardelli chocolate is probably our best chocolate that is a big company. It's made in San Francisco. We also have See's Candy and they make chocolate also. Really good.
I like Lindt. Don’t know where it’s made, but prefer it to Ghirardelli. There’s a giant candy store not far from me (one of the largest in the country), and I need to get out there before they close for the season. Sell chocolate from around the world (plus all kinds of weird soda flavors and homemade goods as well like fudge and pies, and lots and lots of puzzles). Always like perusing their chocolates. Best one was I forget the brand but chocolate and bacon. The bacon pieces were tiny and would just melt in your mouth. Tried another brand and the bacon pieces were too big, and the chocolate not as good. Think that’s where I tried chocolate covered potato chips too. Quite good. But I’ve been craving sour candy lately. I just want it to be in a hard candy form and not a gummy…..which is apparently really hard to find, if not impossible. 😫
If you haven't noticed, the typical reaction of dislike from Europeans against American chocolate stems from the fact that they're not used to Milk chocolate like we are. They are raised on Dark chocolate, therefore most Americans seem to have the same type of reaction when they try European chocolate, which has a much different flavor profile.
It's not just air con; it's keeping my house the same temperature throughout the year. I live in the midwest where the summers can be 100⁰F to winters that are -15⁰F. My house stays are constant 69⁰F no matter the outside temperature.
Oooh, that sounds freezing to me personally. I'm in a pretty hot City in CA that can reach up to 110-115 degrees in the summer, so my preferred temp is more like 76 degrees. To each his own I guess.
@@tommygilbreath I grew up in AK, and my preferred indoor temp is probably about 80°. Outdoor 80-95°. And that is why I moved from AK as soon as I was old enough to.
@@sharnadixon-scott710 Um...Jersey, in England, is a British Crown Dependency, not a country. It's a lot like the Puerto Rico is to the US. Puerto Rico is neither a state or a country. It is a commonwealth. This just means that it retains its own laws and constitution yet, still obeys the reasonable requests of the US Government and cannot deny a US military presence on its soil, among other things US-related.
@Lakusus it is a self governing British crown dependency it's not in England yes it's not a sovereign state get. They aren't automatically British citizens they do have their own government
As a Texan, we don't really turn the central air and heat off at all, it's on "auto", so it runs all year long. There are days here where the a/c and heater come on depending on the time of day lol.
Yes! I just stopped using my AC (window unit) a few days ago. Haven't had to use the heater yet. But sometimes it's in the 40s at night and 90s in the daytime.
Lewis, I live in Houston. LA is 1500 miles away... thats 25 hours away! If I had 3 hours for a weekend outing, that's just enough time to drive half way to San Antonio, run into the Buchees, fill-up, and come back. Driving across states takes days! Even air travel takes forever.
Came here to say this LOL I’m in DFW Texas and LA is sooo far! When I go back home to Maryland it’s 19 hour drive straight through. The us is completely massive! I love these vids tho!!
@@miguelanaya95658 I used to pour some water out of the bottle into a glass and refrigerate it and put the cap on the bottle and freeze it. Pour the water back in and you're golden.
they just need ice trays. fill the tray with water and put it in the freezer. it makes individual cubes. you keep a container and you empty them into it and keep it in the freezer. then you always have ice. Just keep filling it up. that's the old school way here.
Ghirardelli’s is by far one of the best American chocolates. It’s made in California. I’ve been to one of their stores/cafes when I was driving back down from San Francisco. Went to Yosemite National Park for Christmas, spent a few days there and then a few days in San Francisco. Took PCH the majority of the way home.
@@lancekirkwood7922 Indeed. Sadly you kind of have to deal with both because no one measurement system is good for everything. I like metric for precise small measurements because it's easy to understand. Imperial gets kind of clunky for precise measurements but it's good for long measure such as feet and miles versus kilometers. But that's just my OP on it.
“I even season our chicken now.” That SLAYED me, ahahahahahaha!!! No more bland, milktoast meals for the Beasleys! Y’all are getting so spicy now, lol!!! 🌶️
We have all the chocolate varieties here. Cadbury, Godiva, Ferrero Rocher, Lindt Lindor, Dove, Bouchard, Toblerone, Mars, etc., We also have See’s Candies, which I would put up against any chocolate in the world. We then have Hersheys which is a very old chocolate company in America and I still remember when the Hershey’s bar was only five cents. It’s a chocolate that we all grew up on if you’ve lived here long enough. It was real treat when we were little, and that’s why we love it because we grew up having it. It still tastes exactly the same to me and brings back a lot of memories. as something special in childhood., and not to mention s’mores which is still an iconic treat in America. So it’s not the only chocolate we have access to, We have about every food you can think of in America, but Hershey’s is just a little bit of our past
I'm from the South and it's hot. Sometimes over 100 degrees. I was in England when it was 80 degrees and thought I would die. One girl ask me if we had it at home. I told her we have it in every room. She lived in a mansion with no air. Said she loved the grocery store because of the air.
Yeah, we love our AC and can't live without it in Houston. Currently working in my garage with a portable AC unit running 😂. We also love our seasonings too, so the chicken comment was pretty funny.
Yep, we can go from the beach to snow skiing in the same day. California is it. From forest to beach to desert to snow capped mountains to rivers and cliffs, waterfalls, concrete jungles.... you've got it all.❤
Depends on what kind of AC you're getting. You can get in-window units for a few hundred dollars. However, a couple years ago, I had to replace my central AC unit and that cost 4000 dollars. I assume you'd need to have vents put in as well, which would add even more to the cost.
The window units cost more monthly than central air. Not sure why. When I first got to college I lived in an efficiency with a wi doe unit. My electric bill was more expensive than my 3 bedroom house now.
lol brother Hershey's is a cheap chocolate (REAL cheap on flavor), Ghirarddelli's makes really good chocolate and we have a lot of small shops that make chocolate's that are more towards the types of chocolate you're used to, even fairly large ones like See's candies
I live in north Louisiana. It's a bit further to drive anywhere good. About 5 hours to Dallas or New Orleans. But I've recently discovered Hot Springs, AR, which is nice for a kind of mountain feel. And down to Rutherford Beach for a beachy feel. And both are about 3.5 hours drive. Living in Colorado was nice in that way. Georgia has one of the most diverse landscapes, which is underrated, b/c there's mountains, beaches, gorges, waterfalls, and even a canyon! Drive further south you got Florida and Disney World. Drive further north you get more mountains and the Biltmore Estate. So yeah, as an adventurer, that is one of the things I love most about living here.
Next time you go to Hot Springs, get the cold spring water from Happy Hollow. It's the best. My mother and I go every few weeks and that's the water we drink, use for cooking.
My AC went out this last summer while I was at work and several parts of my flooring was curled up because the heat melted the glue holding it down and if not for having water always available for my dog she probably would have died. I live in Texas the heat is so intense at times that without AC you literally couldn’t live here.
They're not saying A/C isn't available in the UK it's just that it's SOOO common in the U.S. for just about any building. Being able to reliably find central heating and cooling everywhere is a big difference. Also keeping the humidity down in your home helps SOOOO much.
There is a "museum" near Detroit Michigan named The Henry Ford. If you went from open till close everyday for a week wouldn't be enough to experience everything.
American chocolate has "that bite" because it uses an old-school formula for processing milk. U.S. chocolate makers had always used fresh milk, dumping the excess after three days. But in the 1930's, Hershey’s developed a durable milk product by isolating acids from proteins, which preserved it and reduced costs while adding those now-familiar sour and bitter notes. During WWII, American soldiers' "taste of home" was a Hershey's ration bar with more of this compound (butyric acid) to reduce spoilage, and the rest is American culinary history.
Lewis, leave half of the water in the bottle and put it in the freezer on a slant. It will freeze and you can take another water bottle, fill the iced bottle with water and put the partial bottle of water in the freezer to be frozen for your next water!
The only comment I've made about A/C is that you could definitely get one without much difficulty or expense. You don't have to get central A/C. There are portable A/C units and mini-split units.
There are "fancy" boxed chocolates here in the states called, Fannie May, that are absolutely delicious. Even the cream filled are good. They also cost an arm and a leg, so my husband buys them for me only once a year, on Valentine's Day, which is also the anniversary of our first date.
She might have initially said flight, but they overlapped with talking about driving places, . . . added to Lewis talking about how he doesn't enjoy flying and would much rather drive. When talking to Europeans about travel times . . . they are incapable of grasping the distances. They look at a map of the USA and think 1,000 miles is a one hour drive.
You can get a single room air conditioner for about $150 or a portable one where you have the hot air hose that goes out the widow, for about $400. So it is not really a massive expense. People will spend $1,000 on a phone so AC is actually a bargain.
I haven't used much AC since the start of October. It's been cool enough outside that if I leave the windows open it stays under 75F(24C) inside which is comfortable enough for us.
L3WG, the best way to get AC in a house that wasn’t designed with HVAC and a heat pump unit in mind is just going to be getting a window unit. Just a big box that goes in your window, you plug it in, it blows cold air. Simple as that. You just bring it out when the weather gets hot and you need to find storage for it when it gets cold
At the very least, Lewis, you have to use equal parts of salt pepper granulated garlic or garlic powder and paprika. It goes on almost everything. If you wanted to see our whole country you would need 18 months to 2 years because some things are best seen in certain seasons and you'll have days you want to rest especially if you're doing a road trip . Are you using mobile homes or are you going to hotel/motel everywhere are all things to consider. Do you want to go to a baseball game or football game? They are seasonal. Lots to think about.
Lewis, you can absolutely have A/C. There are many small, powerful stand-alone units a person can easily install yourself (you just put in a window) and are available at Shopping Center stores, and the thing you're not realizing about air conditioning is that it lowers the humidity, which is so impactful in how you feel that you will never, ever go back to not having it in your living space. And to bring it home about your ability to get it for yourself is this is the year 2024, and the technology of such amenities has advanced to Star Trek levels.
Here you can just go to a hardware store(or order it online) and just get a small window AC for like $200-$300 that you can easily install yourself. So idk why they don't sell that for yall, probably some stupid regulations. Still blows my mind yall have to pay for a TV license.
Ice cubes can be made with any number of different shaped trays you just put water in and put them in the freezer and after a couple of hours you have ice.
Amazon sells lots of small counter top ice makers from $40 US up to $70 US. You'd have to use a travel adapter for the electric plug so it could be plugged into a UK outlet.
Lewis, man you've got to get yourself together! You've said you're afraid of flying, afraid of amusement rides, afraid of basements, afraid of dolls...you don't know how to cook, you don't like walking, you mainly eat fast food, specifically McDonald's, and, apparently don't leave the house very often. I don't think you realize that the majority of Americans can't relate to that, at all!
Remember, California by itself is larger than the U.K. Wrangell-St. Elias in Alaska is our largest national park at over 20,000 sq miles. Its roughly have the size of England.
Just to try and offer a comparison of size: If I drive across Texas at it's widest point, East to West, and then come to the UK and repeat that distance at it's tallest, North to South, I'd be about 70 miles into the North Atlantic. I've made that trip across Texas as a tractor-trailer driver in one day, and continued for a couple of hours more.
I live in Southern California, and in one day, I can be in the desert, the mountains, and at the beach. In 3 hours....shoo. I can be in Mexico if I go south, an hour out to sea if I go west, Central Valley (Bakerfield) if I go north, in Arizona, if I go east. If I go north west I can be in Santa Barbara - ish. In 4 hours I can be in Las Vegas. Of course all of that is traffic dependent. 😂
I live in Sacramento California and pretty much centrally located. I am roughly 2-3.5 hours away from Tahoe, Ski lodges, Yosemite. San Franisco, Napa, Bodega Bay and so much more. Perfect for day-tripping.
Yes, several national parks in the U.S. are larger than England, which covers approximately 50,301 square kilometers (19,551 square miles). The largest U.S. national park is Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve in Alaska, measuring about 34,000 square kilometers (13,175 square miles) and is larger than England. Another example is Gates of the Arctic National Park, which is approximately 30,000 square kilometers (11,583 square miles) in size. Both parks significantly exceed England’s area. The smallest national park in the United States is Gateway Arch National Park in Missouri, covering approximately 91 acres (0.37 km²) . This park commemorates St. Louis’ historical significance as the “Gateway to the West” and features the iconic Gateway Arch, alongside a small museum and open fields. The United States has 63 national parks that are officially designated as such, managed by the National Park Service. In addition to these parks, there are numerous other protected areas within the National Park System, totaling 429 sites across the country, which include national monuments and historical parks.
England is 50,301 square miles, 130,278 square km. Wrangell-St Elias is largest U.S. National Park at 20,587 square miles, 53,317 square km. So a little less than half the size of England. Yellowstone is about same size as Wales, and the entire UK will fit in Alaska 7.05 times. The U.S. has 31 states bigger than England, and 11 states bigger than all of the UK.
You do know most refrigerators have ice makers without a dispenser on the door. There's a container that sits on one side of the freezer, and it keeps making ice cubes until the bin is full then it shuts off. You can manually shut it off as well. It turns back on after it senses the pike has gone down so you always have ice cube available. I keep a scoop in the freezer just for ice. Also... Not everyone has an ice maker, so we use ice cube trays that we fill with water, and place in the freezer until frozen. Ice cube trays come in many shapes and sizes. Refill after using so you always have ice cubes. I keep a scoop in the freezer so I can fill my glass up with ice as needed. BTW L3WG- There are ice cube trays that make ice shaped like thin rectangles or thin cylinders . They were designed to fit water bottles, sport drinks, or other bottles that have a mouth too narrow for traditionally square ice cubes to fit in. Personally, I prefer crushed ice. So, I fill zip lock plastic bags with water (not to the top) and freeze them. Then when there frozen, I use a mallet, hammer or anything hard enough to break the ice without breaking itself. I wrap the bag in a kitchen towel and take out my frustrations on the bag. Suddenly I have crushed ice. Many convenience stores offer Crushed and Cubed ice at their Soft Drink Stations.
It took me half a day to do the national gallery and we didn’t see everything . That’s one museum . There are tons in the Uk . You need to treat your home like a foreign place . Research things to do like it was a vacation . You’ll learn so much and fall in love with where you live .
I love how Millie is NOW seasoning her chicken 😂😂!! As an American I, not only season my food, I use sauces to dip it in. Many varieties of sauces are at the ready, constantly. Love their videos and your videos Lewis 😍😍
Just go buy plastic ice cube trays, fill with water, put in freezer, have ice when you want it just remember to fill with water when empty, I have ice water in my cup all day, other than one cup of coffee in the morning, ice water is what I drink all day
8:08 Like to experience London stuff, ride that huge Ferris wheel, hear Big Ben, punt the Thames, visit BBC(touch the TARDIS!), see Buckingham and watch the guard changing, walk the Abby road(Beatles!)say "hi, Chuck!" at the palace, and visit Rupert Giles' old employer, the British Museum(where my Stargate/UFO fanfic opens). Then to Dover's White Cliffs, Scotland to maybe see "Nessie" at Loch Ness, see the inspiration for Hogwarts, then to Stonehenge, then to that Emerald Isle to smooch that stone, maybe smooch that Fae Queen in Dublin too!
Lewis, we have stores that just sell chocolate, besides Hershey 's chocolate. One chocolate maker that I know and love is SEE'S chocolate. We have quality chocolate and we have everyday chocolate like you can buy in the grocery store or vending machine.
Wow, never thought about air conditioning. We have it throughout our home. It is nice when it gets hot! As for ice….that one really surprises me. Our refrigerator has an automatic ice maker in it. And on the outside, if you,push a glass in a certain spot, you will get ice and water! Guess it’s something you just take for granted!
I love ice. I bought my own ice machine. They sent 2 so i gave one to a friend. At 63 i finally got air conditioning. Wow its great! In the summer it's hot. OVER 100 is normal in the summer. Night is hot too. I opened the windows this week. Today was 52. Felt wonderful.
I grew up in Marin County, California, just north of the Golden Gate bridge. It was one hour to the beach, or 2 hours to snow. It was easy day trip either way.
California is quite a state... You can do the warm beach, go snow skiing, water skiing, visit massive forests, a few waterfalls, a canyon, a desert, a volcano, so on and so on all in one day. And there are enough climate zones to grow just about any fruit or vegetable (I'm sure there are some exceptions).
Lewis you are funny as hell! You make me laugh all the time! Millie's favorite Goldfish flavor is the Vanilla Cupcake flavor which is sweet not cheesy. LOL She is mad about them! HAHA She was so funny in Los Angelos Walmart and she was looking for Vanilla Cupcake flavored Goldfish and they had every other kind of flavor but NOT the Vanilla Cupcake flavor one. Millie was mad about it but she was funny about it. I think she get some in Texas which was their next state after Los Angeles california.
Its called Air CONDITIONING because it modifies humidity as well. Most places have it set too cold, but when a space begins filling with people it does start to warm up so they set it lower than you would at home. We would set our hous to 21-23c at home in summer and a hard 20 in winter. We still have fans on every night to sleep. The HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) system has a fan to circulate air throughout the house, so when temperatures are tolerable in spring and fall we open windows and just run that fan for those days. Warm air returns though the system and blends with cooler air helping to make the top floor more comfortable. 👽🗿👽🗿👽
America is so big! And there is a lot to do. Take Los Angeles for example, if you are in Downtown LA, an hour in any direction can take you to either the beach, the mountains, or the desert.
2:49 I live in Texas WITH air conditioning and I still sleep with a fan on. I’m weird though, I LOVE being cold when I sleep. So much so that when that major freeze, aka the Snow-pocalypse, was hitting us I actually slept with my window open and a fan pulling the cold air in. I have never slept better than I did then. I might have just been on the verge of a cold induced coma though. 😆😂🤣

I watched their video last night and when she said " even season chicken now..." I had to pause because that took me OUT!!!
Jersey is a small country even so it's weird sh doesn't
@@sharnadixon-scott710 Um...Jersey, in England, is a British Crown Dependency, not a country. It's a lot like the Puerto Rico is to the US. Puerto Rico is neither a state or a country. It is a commonwealth. This just means that it retains its own laws and constitution yet, still obeys the reasonable requests of the US Government and cannot deny a US military presence on its soil, among other things US-related.
@Lakusus it is a self governing British crown dependency it's not in England yes it's not a sovereign state get. They aren't automatically British citizens they do have their own government
I can't imagine how their food was tasting like without seasoning??
I can't believe people can live without the 1000s of varieties. As an Asian and American: I cannot imagine a life without all the variety.
As a Texan, we don't really turn the central air and heat off at all, it's on "auto", so it runs all year long. There are days here where the a/c and heater come on depending on the time of day lol.
Yes! I just stopped using my AC (window unit) a few days ago. Haven't had to use the heater yet. But sometimes it's in the 40s at night and 90s in the daytime.
Can confirm. I live in Texas also. AC/heat is always set. Helps with air filtration as well.
Lewis, I live in Houston. LA is 1500 miles away... thats 25 hours away! If I had 3 hours for a weekend outing, that's just enough time to drive half way to San Antonio, run into the Buchees, fill-up, and come back. Driving across states takes days! Even air travel takes forever.
amreica is sooo big 25 hours drive in the uk youll be across europe
@@L3WGReacts New York to Los Angeles is 3,000 miles. To go by plane, it takes about 5-6 hour flight. So yes, America is massive.
Came here to say this LOL I’m in DFW Texas and LA is sooo far! When I go back home to Maryland it’s 19 hour drive straight through. The us is completely massive! I love these vids tho!!
I thought that’s what she said lol. Its 12 hours from Southeast Houston to El Paso🤣
I think she meant by plane, 3 hours... but that may be LAX to DFW. Arizona and New Mexico driving east is probably 3 hours each.
It took me forever to figure out you guys were saying air conditioning lol. We say AC or air conditioning…I’ve never heard of aircon lol.
Same 😂
I knew what they meant but it does sound like an aviation term.
When I hear aircon i think about Conair, the movie.
@@woods2587Also blowdryers...😊
Even HVAC would be more commonly heard.
AirCon, isn’t that a movie? Oh wait, that’s Con Air. 😂 We usually say AC, sometimes HVAC (pronounced h-vac) when referring to the unit.
When they said air con I was like, "wtf is that?!? Can I just not understand their accents?!".. but only when saying air con 😂. AC!
Brits pronounce H weird too though.
It seriously took me a few min to get it...air con???? Haha
They make ice cube trays for waterbottles
@@miguelanaya95658 I used to pour some water out of the bottle into a glass and refrigerate it and put the cap on the bottle and freeze it. Pour the water back in and you're golden.
I've got a great recipe for water. I could send it to em if they like.
@@Richard-kq7ej LMFAO ^ This just made me piss my pants. I also have a great recipe for air :)
* for bottols 0 wattttaaaae7%r
@@Kari5274 that's what I did to sneak water into minor league baseball games 20 years ago lol.
they just need ice trays. fill the tray with water and put it in the freezer. it makes individual cubes. you keep a container and you empty them into it and keep it in the freezer. then you always have ice. Just keep filling it up. that's the old school way here.
Re: why some folks don't get out out the US much, you can get from the UK to France faster than I get get from my house to the nearest airport.
Ghirardelli’s is by far one of the best American chocolates. It’s made in California. I’ve been to one of their stores/cafes when I was driving back down from San Francisco. Went to Yosemite National Park for Christmas, spent a few days there and then a few days in San Francisco. Took PCH the majority of the way home.
Nice not as good as a lot of British chocolate though
I think it was the caramel Ghirardelli I tried and it made me feel sick. Possibly the oregano or green tea in it, not sure.
The British empire brought spices to the world and doesn't use them themselves.
They also invented Imperial measurements but only the US has stuck to using them. Canada kind of has to deal with using both because of us, hehe.
@Slane583 it's kind of a pain using both, as I've run into that frequently enough in the US.
@@lancekirkwood7922 Indeed. Sadly you kind of have to deal with both because no one measurement system is good for everything. I like metric for precise small measurements because it's easy to understand. Imperial gets kind of clunky for precise measurements but it's good for long measure such as feet and miles versus kilometers. But that's just my OP on it.
You mean does use them
@@Slane583p.
“I even season our chicken now.”
That SLAYED me, ahahahahahaha!!! No more bland, milktoast meals for the Beasleys! Y’all are getting so spicy now, lol!!! 🌶️
Yes they should have come to the UK to learn to cook years ago
We have all the chocolate varieties here. Cadbury, Godiva, Ferrero Rocher, Lindt Lindor, Dove, Bouchard, Toblerone, Mars, etc., We also have See’s Candies, which I would put up against any chocolate in the world. We then have Hersheys which is a very old chocolate company in America and I still remember when the Hershey’s bar was only five cents. It’s a chocolate that we all grew up on if you’ve lived here long enough. It was real treat when we were little, and that’s why we love it because we grew up having it. It still tastes exactly the same to me and brings back a lot of memories. as something special in childhood., and not to mention s’mores which is still an iconic treat in America. So it’s not the only chocolate we have access to, We have about every food you can think of in America, but Hershey’s is just a little bit of our past
Also Le Maison du chocolat
I prefer Russell Stover over Hershey's.
There is something called ice cube trays you fill with water and put in the freezer
The refrigerators that I’ve seen in England aren’t very big and not much freezer space. A countertop ice maker would probably be a good idea
@ I was wondering about that. Thanks. 😊
I'm from the South and it's hot. Sometimes over 100 degrees. I was in England when it was 80 degrees and thought I would die. One girl ask me if we had it at home. I told her we have it in every room. She lived in a mansion with no air. Said she loved the grocery store because of the air.
It's the humidity but you get used to it
I often take empty water bottles and refill them about 1/3 full it make a cheap easy cold water bottle.
Yeah, we love our AC and can't live without it in Houston. Currently working in my garage with a portable AC unit running 😂. We also love our seasonings too, so the chicken comment was pretty funny.
Yep, we can go from the beach to snow skiing in the same day. California is it. From forest to beach to desert to snow capped mountains to rivers and cliffs, waterfalls, concrete jungles.... you've got it all.❤
We do as well in Oregon
DOVE CHOCOLATE! 🍫
Dove and Ghirardelli make amazing chocolate! I hate how all anyone thinks of is Hershey’s.
@@Bolero6879 100% agree! No one in my household likes Hershey's! 🤢
ooooo i just searched up dove & i think it's what we call "galaxy" here AMAZING CHOCOLATE!
@@L3WGReacts If I can get an address or p.o. box , I'd be happy to send over an American Care package!
Depends on what kind of AC you're getting. You can get in-window units for a few hundred dollars. However, a couple years ago, I had to replace my central AC unit and that cost 4000 dollars. I assume you'd need to have vents put in as well, which would add even more to the cost.
The best kind is the Japanese air condition that hangs on the wall
The window units cost more monthly than central air. Not sure why. When I first got to college I lived in an efficiency with a wi doe unit. My electric bill was more expensive than my 3 bedroom house now.
Ghirardelli. Probably our best American Chocolate maker. They also make the best boxed brownies, which you can buy at Costco.
lol brother Hershey's is a cheap chocolate (REAL cheap on flavor), Ghirarddelli's makes really good chocolate and we have a lot of small shops that make chocolate's that are more towards the types of chocolate you're used to, even fairly large ones like See's candies
I live in north Louisiana. It's a bit further to drive anywhere good. About 5 hours to Dallas or New Orleans. But I've recently discovered Hot Springs, AR, which is nice for a kind of mountain feel. And down to Rutherford Beach for a beachy feel. And both are about 3.5 hours drive. Living in Colorado was nice in that way. Georgia has one of the most diverse landscapes, which is underrated, b/c there's mountains, beaches, gorges, waterfalls, and even a canyon! Drive further south you got Florida and Disney World. Drive further north you get more mountains and the Biltmore Estate. So yeah, as an adventurer, that is one of the things I love most about living here.
Next time you go to Hot Springs, get the cold spring water from Happy Hollow. It's the best. My mother and I go every few weeks and that's the water we drink, use for cooking.
My AC went out this last summer while I was at work and several parts of my flooring was curled up because the heat melted the glue holding it down and if not for having water always available for my dog she probably would have died. I live in Texas the heat is so intense at times that without AC you literally couldn’t live here.
Amazon UK shows portable a/c machines available for 200£. A small vent goes to the window and helps considerably.
I guess people are saying that he has casement windows which would require a bit of customization for proper venting.
Everytime Lewis says Buutttt!😂
Its takes 12 hours to drive from L.A. to the biggest city in West Texas, El Paso. Its about a 2 hour flight.
They're not saying A/C isn't available in the UK it's just that it's SOOO common in the U.S. for just about any building. Being able to reliably find central heating and cooling everywhere is a big difference. Also keeping the humidity down in your home helps SOOOO much.
There is a "museum" near Detroit Michigan named The Henry Ford. If you went from open till close everyday for a week wouldn't be enough to experience everything.
American chocolate has "that bite" because it uses an old-school formula for processing milk. U.S. chocolate makers had always used fresh milk, dumping the excess after three days. But in the 1930's, Hershey’s developed a durable milk product by isolating acids from proteins, which preserved it and reduced costs while adding those now-familiar sour and bitter notes. During WWII, American soldiers' "taste of home" was a Hershey's ration bar with more of this compound (butyric acid) to reduce spoilage, and the rest is American culinary history.
We even have ice cube trays that make long skinny ice cubes that you can fit into water bottles. We LOVE our ice😂
The best thing about air conditioning is that it dehumidifies the air. ❤️
We have ice molds that make skinny ice cylinders for water bottles.
Lewis, leave half of the water in the bottle and put it in the freezer on a slant. It will freeze and you can take another water bottle, fill the iced bottle with water and put the partial bottle of water in the freezer to be frozen for your next water!
I’m with ya about the planes. I’ve flown a lot too but as I’ve got older I get more and more nervous 😬
The only comment I've made about A/C is that you could definitely get one without much difficulty or expense. You don't have to get central A/C. There are portable A/C units and mini-split units.
There are "fancy" boxed chocolates here in the states called, Fannie May, that are absolutely delicious. Even the cream filled are good. They also cost an arm and a leg, so my husband buys them for me only once a year, on Valentine's Day, which is also the anniversary of our first date.
It is NOT a three hour drive from California to Texas. LA to Dallas is over 1,000 miles.
She said flight, not drive
She might have initially said flight, but they overlapped with talking about driving places, . . . added to Lewis talking about how he doesn't enjoy flying and would much rather drive.
When talking to Europeans about travel times . . . they are incapable of grasping the distances. They look at a map of the USA and think 1,000 miles is a one hour drive.
You can get a single room air conditioner for about $150 or a portable one where you have the hot air hose that goes out the widow, for about $400. So it is not really a massive expense. People will spend $1,000 on a phone so AC is actually a bargain.
I haven't used much AC since the start of October. It's been cool enough outside that if I leave the windows open it stays under 75F(24C) inside which is comfortable enough for us.
L3WG, the best way to get AC in a house that wasn’t designed with HVAC and a heat pump unit in mind is just going to be getting a window unit. Just a big box that goes in your window, you plug it in, it blows cold air. Simple as that. You just bring it out when the weather gets hot and you need to find storage for it when it gets cold
Dove & Godiva is the best! I love dark chocolate!
@@FNJ720 does Dove dark chocolate still have milk in it? Can't say I've ever had Godiva though, but if it's sans milk, I need to try it.
@ yes, it does
@@FNJ720 thank you.
At the very least, Lewis, you have to use equal parts of salt pepper granulated garlic or garlic powder and paprika. It goes on almost everything.
If you wanted to see our whole country you would need 18 months to 2 years because some things are best seen in certain seasons and you'll have days you want to rest especially if you're doing a road trip . Are you using mobile homes or are you going to hotel/motel everywhere are all things to consider. Do you want to go to a baseball game or football game? They are seasonal. Lots to think about.
Thank you for the explanation! Never heard of that island...I was so confused😂
Lewis, you can absolutely have A/C. There are many small, powerful stand-alone units a person can easily install yourself (you just put in a window) and are available at Shopping Center stores, and the thing you're not realizing about air conditioning is that it lowers the humidity, which is so impactful in how you feel that you will never, ever go back to not having it in your living space. And to bring it home about your ability to get it for yourself is this is the year 2024, and the technology of such amenities has advanced to Star Trek levels.
Our refrigerators aren't big, yours are small. Tabletop fridge is for keeping beer cold in the garage. Not for the kitchen.
Ours are the same size unless it's a built in one
Here you can just go to a hardware store(or order it online) and just get a small window AC for like $200-$300 that you can easily install yourself. So idk why they don't sell that for yall, probably some stupid regulations. Still blows my mind yall have to pay for a TV license.
Ice cubes can be made with any number of different shaped trays you just put water in and put them in the freezer and after a couple of hours you have ice.
America is the most diverse country in the world. You can experience any culture and any weather. Mountains to plains to the seas.
You can get that all in Washington State alone. We have everything.
You could get ice cube trays. You fill, freeze, and then pop out your ice, then fill, freeze....much less expensive than an ice maker.
Amazon sells lots of small counter top ice makers from $40 US up to $70 US. You'd have to use a travel adapter for the electric plug so it could be plugged into a UK outlet.
They make rod shaped ice trays for bottled drinks 😊
Lewis, man you've got to get yourself together! You've said you're afraid of flying, afraid of amusement rides, afraid of basements, afraid of dolls...you don't know how to cook, you don't like walking, you mainly eat fast food, specifically McDonald's, and, apparently don't leave the house very often. I don't think you realize that the majority of Americans can't relate to that, at all!
I'm in farming country out in the middle of nowhere. A 3 hour drive for me could put me in Chicago with a 2.6 million population lol
As long as you have a freezer you can make ice.... buy a couple styles of ice trays lol
Remember, California by itself is larger than the U.K. Wrangell-St. Elias in Alaska is our largest national park at over 20,000 sq miles. Its roughly have the size of England.
Buy ice cube trays! Easy and inexpensive way to have ice!
Just to try and offer a comparison of size: If I drive across Texas at it's widest point, East to West, and then come to the UK and repeat that distance at it's tallest, North to South, I'd be about 70 miles into the North Atlantic. I've made that trip across Texas as a tractor-trailer driver in one day, and continued for a couple of hours more.
I live in Southern California, and in one day, I can be in the desert, the mountains, and at the beach. In 3 hours....shoo. I can be in Mexico if I go south, an hour out to sea if I go west, Central Valley (Bakerfield) if I go north, in Arizona, if I go east. If I go north west I can be in Santa Barbara - ish. In 4 hours I can be in Las Vegas. Of course all of that is traffic dependent. 😂
I live in Sacramento California and pretty much centrally located. I am roughly 2-3.5 hours away from Tahoe, Ski lodges, Yosemite. San Franisco, Napa, Bodega Bay and so much more. Perfect for day-tripping.
Yes, several national parks in the U.S. are larger than England, which covers approximately 50,301 square kilometers (19,551 square miles). The largest U.S. national park is Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve in Alaska, measuring about 34,000 square kilometers (13,175 square miles) and is larger than England. Another example is Gates of the Arctic National Park, which is approximately 30,000 square kilometers (11,583 square miles) in size. Both parks significantly exceed England’s area.
The smallest national park in the United States is Gateway Arch National Park in Missouri, covering approximately 91 acres (0.37 km²) . This park commemorates St. Louis’ historical significance as the “Gateway to the West” and features the iconic Gateway Arch, alongside a small museum and open fields.
The United States has 63 national parks that are officially designated as such, managed by the National Park Service. In addition to these parks, there are numerous other protected areas within the National Park System, totaling 429 sites across the country, which include national monuments and historical parks.
England's larger than that
England is 50,301 square miles, 130,278 square km.
Wrangell-St Elias is largest U.S. National Park at 20,587 square miles, 53,317 square km. So a little less than half the size of England. Yellowstone is about same size as Wales, and the entire UK will fit in Alaska 7.05 times. The U.S. has 31 states bigger than England, and 11 states bigger than all of the UK.
You do know most refrigerators have ice makers without a dispenser on the door. There's a container that sits on one side of the freezer, and it keeps making ice cubes until the bin is full then it shuts off. You can manually shut it off as well. It turns back on after it senses the pike has gone down so you always have ice cube available. I keep a scoop in the freezer just for ice. Also...
Not everyone has an ice maker, so we use ice cube trays that we fill with water, and place in the freezer until frozen. Ice cube trays come in many shapes and sizes. Refill after using so you always have ice cubes. I keep a scoop in the freezer so I can fill my glass up with ice as needed.
BTW L3WG-
There are ice cube trays that make ice shaped like thin rectangles or thin cylinders . They were designed to fit water bottles, sport drinks, or other bottles that have a mouth too narrow for traditionally square ice cubes to fit in.
Personally, I prefer crushed ice.
So, I fill zip lock plastic bags with water (not to the top) and freeze them. Then when there frozen, I use a mallet, hammer or anything hard enough to break the ice without breaking itself. I wrap the bag in a kitchen towel and take out my frustrations on the bag. Suddenly I have crushed ice. Many convenience stores offer Crushed and Cubed ice at their Soft Drink Stations.
It took me half a day to do the national gallery and we didn’t see everything .
That’s one museum . There are tons in the Uk . You need to treat your home like a foreign place . Research things to do like it was a vacation .
You’ll learn so much and fall in love with where you live .
I think that all the time. You make your home what it is. Think more of what you can do. Learn to love your home area.
@ learn what’s around you ! Because there’s something everywhere . Free stuff most places
5:42 That seasoning thing , the condiments, is to relish, try to ketchup and cut the mustard!
5:17 it is funny lol but I’m happy for them! If you’re going to eat, enjoy every bite!!
I love how Millie is NOW seasoning her chicken 😂😂!! As an American I, not only season my food, I use sauces to dip it in. Many varieties of sauces are at the ready, constantly. Love their videos and your videos Lewis 😍😍
Yes same in the UK
Do ya'll have freezers? Ice trays is all you need, lol.
Just go buy plastic ice cube trays, fill with water, put in freezer, have ice when you want it just remember to fill with water when empty, I have ice water in my cup all day, other than one cup of coffee in the morning, ice water is what I drink all day
I think our NATIONAL PARKS are the jewels of our States! They are treasures to be enjoyed and respected. 😊
8:08 Like to experience London stuff, ride that huge Ferris wheel, hear Big Ben, punt the Thames, visit BBC(touch the TARDIS!), see Buckingham and watch the guard changing, walk the Abby road(Beatles!)say "hi, Chuck!" at the palace, and visit Rupert Giles' old employer, the British Museum(where my Stargate/UFO fanfic opens). Then to Dover's White Cliffs, Scotland to maybe see "Nessie" at Loch Ness, see the inspiration for Hogwarts, then to Stonehenge, then to that Emerald Isle to smooch that stone, maybe smooch that Fae Queen in Dublin too!
You would do stone henge before the Highlands
On little thing: in America, we don't call it air con. It's either "air conditioning" or A/C
Lewis would be pleased to know that his vid started with a McDonald’s ad for me.
Lewis, we have stores that just sell chocolate, besides Hershey 's chocolate. One chocolate maker that I know and love is SEE'S chocolate. We have quality chocolate and we have everyday chocolate like you can buy in the grocery store or vending machine.
One of my favorite chocolate candy would be Twin Bing. It’s made in the Midwest and it’s got like cherry flavor inside.
Wow, never thought about air conditioning. We have it throughout our home. It is nice when it gets hot!
As for ice….that one really surprises me. Our refrigerator has an automatic ice maker in it. And on the outside, if you,push a glass in a certain spot, you will get ice and water! Guess it’s something you just take for granted!
It's pretty damn funny..."we season our chicken now" 😂🤣😂
I love ice. I bought my own ice machine. They sent 2 so i gave one to a friend. At 63 i finally got air conditioning. Wow its great! In the summer it's hot. OVER 100 is normal in the summer. Night is hot too. I opened the windows this week. Today was 52. Felt wonderful.
2 types of AirCon here...swamp coolers for desert climes and refrigerated air and LA to TX is a bit more than 3 hours, lol
I grew up in Marin County, California, just north of the Golden Gate bridge. It was one hour to the beach, or 2 hours to snow. It was easy day trip either way.
California is quite a state... You can do the warm beach, go snow skiing, water skiing, visit massive forests, a few waterfalls, a canyon, a desert, a volcano, so on and so on all in one day. And there are enough climate zones to grow just about any fruit or vegetable (I'm sure there are some exceptions).
Lewis you are funny as hell! You make me laugh all the time! Millie's favorite Goldfish flavor is the Vanilla Cupcake flavor which is sweet not cheesy. LOL She is mad about them! HAHA She was so funny in Los Angelos Walmart and she was looking for Vanilla Cupcake flavored Goldfish and they had every other kind of flavor but NOT the Vanilla Cupcake flavor one. Millie was mad about it but she was funny about it. I think she get some in Texas which was their next state after Los Angeles california.
Its called Air CONDITIONING because it modifies humidity as well. Most places have it set too cold, but when a space begins filling with people it does start to warm up so they set it lower than you would at home. We would set our hous to 21-23c at home in summer and a hard 20 in winter. We still have fans on every night to sleep. The HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) system has a fan to circulate air throughout the house, so when temperatures are tolerable in spring and fall we open windows and just run that fan for those days. Warm air returns though the system and blends with cooler air helping to make the top floor more comfortable. 👽🗿👽🗿👽
America is so big! And there is a lot to do. Take Los Angeles for example, if you are in Downtown LA, an hour in any direction can take you to either the beach, the mountains, or the desert.
2:49 I live in Texas WITH air conditioning and I still sleep with a fan on. I’m weird though, I LOVE being cold when I sleep. So much so that when that major freeze, aka the Snow-pocalypse, was hitting us I actually slept with my window open and a fan pulling the cold air in. I have never slept better than I did then. I might have just been on the verge of a cold induced coma though. 😆😂🤣
Lewis I live in Houston the a/c is always on and everything is seasoned especially chicken. Thanks for the laugh.
Live in Texas The AC is so cold in my office during summer I keep a winter jacket & blanket 😂
6:09 There are tube shaped ice trays in the U.S. that allow you to make ice that fit through that bottle opening.
