Reacting to this quiz was such a fun experience! 🇺🇸 Some of those questions really had me stumped, but others were surprisingly easy (thank goodness for random trivia knowledge!). Let me know in the comments how many YOU got right-especially if you're from the USA! Let's compare scores. 😄👏"
Dr. Pepper is NOT the oldest soft drink. Vernors is an American brand of ginger ale that was first served in 1866 by James Vernor, a pharmacist from Detroit. The trivia question didn't ask which was the first ever invented, it asked out of those 3, which came first.
@@PatrolNation - The four assassinated Presidents are: Abraham Lincoln (1865), James Garfield (1881), William McKinley (1901)*, and John Kennedy (1963). *Denali - From 1917 to 2015 was named Mt. McKinley after President McKinley.
FYI - Coca-Cola and RC Cola were both originally invented in Columbus, Georgia. And Aflac insurance got their original boost in funding from early investments into Coca-Cola.
On the first American woman in space question, the other options were also firsts- A) A. Fisher was the first mother in space, B) M. Jemison was the first African-American woman in space, but the answer was indeed C) S. Ride.
One World Trade Center opened in 2014 as a replacement/tribute for the 2 original towers that were destroyed in 2001. It's also known as the Freedom Tower. The Willis Tower was also originally called the Sears Tower, but everyone still calls it that.
The other options on question 1 are part of "The Star-Spangled Banner", but not part of the National Anthem, which is just section 1. (The whole poem has 4 sections.)
@@PatrolNation people around the world use terms that come from baseball and they don't even know it. didn't mean to throw you a "curve ball" is my guess "in the park" that idea was "out of the park" right off the bat touch base cover all your bases 3 strikes you're out step up to the plate nice guys finish last.
You did really well! I watched a few reactors do these questions, and you did the best so far. I'm American, and I missed two! No idea on those two. I did know about the Dr. Pepper one, simply bc I'm from Texas! Most picked Coke. (Side note: Did you know that the first Coca Cola color was GREEN!) Most were quite easy, as they should be if you're from the U.S. Not so easy if you're not. Good job!
You did better than a lot of Americans. Now, don't get me wrong, there are a ton of smart Americans, but there are many who are not… they are just louder.
Did about a good a job as me (a fellow 🇦🇺). We didn't really need to study US history so some was a guess. The geography was helped from a few rounds of Geo-Guessr a few yrs ago
The Golden Gate Hotel and Casino is located in old Las Vegas, where the first casinos were built - Fremont Street. The Flamingo and Sahara are on Las Vegas Blvd aka The Strip.
The 3 faces you see on Mt Rushmore; left to right are, Washington, Jefferson, and Teddy Roosevelt, Lincoln wasn't shown in the quiz because the selection box covered him up.
You are right, the world trade centers you are thinking of were destroyed in 2001. The one world trade center tower was finished in 2014 adjacent to where the original towers were.
Denali is the original name of McKinley it has now been changed back to Denali (The Great One - Koyukon Athabascan) and you did better on many of these than I did
Not bad bud, but two of my three older Sunshine Coast grandsons (aged 12/14) beat your score, the best grom amongst them smoked you! They love quizzes and did this one a couple of months ago. They regularly have a friendly competition online with their Vancouver and London agemate cousins.
Born in the U.S., been here my whole life and I missed 10. Probably wouldnt pass the citizenship test either lol. Good thing they don't test us yearly or I'd be kicked out and living in another country!
Coca cola is actually about the same age as DrPepper, but the official date puts Coca cola as officially debuted in 1886. The Uncle Sam one is misleading and wrong. One possible origin is that the male persona was based on Samuel Wilson, a meat packer from Troy, New York in 1812. The earliest known mention definitely referring to the metaphorical Uncle Sam is from 1810, predating Wilson. The present version dates from WW1 which is far too late for him to be based on Samuel Wilson. Prior to WW1 there was a version that was based on George Armstrong Custer that can be found in the Wyoming State museum archives. In essence, Uncle Sam has always been a caricature of a strong mature man.
Sears Tower was the tallest in the world when it was built. The current tallest in the US, including its spire is where the Twin towers World trade center was until 2001.

Q. What do you get when you mix Uncle Sam and Auntie Jack?
A. An Underarm deodorant that will rip your bloody arms off. 🙂
Vince Lombardi was the coach of the Green Bay Packers and won the first two Super Bowls. Which is why they named the trophy after him.
You kept saying you sucked at that but you actually did great. Congrats on nailing the football question.
Great Star Trek reference!
You were right about Princeton. Yale is in New Haven.
Well done!
McKinley was the name before it was changed to Denali.
Oh, OK.
@@PatrolNation It'll always be McKinley to me!
Actually, it was Denali first because that is the native name. Its like Uluru vs Ayers Rock.

Got that one right. I'd heard that somewhere so it sounded familiar. The other two I never heard of before.
You did great ! I've watched 4 Brits and you and you did the best so far!
FYI, the Bald Eagle was adopted as the symbol on the Great Seal of the US in 1783.
extra points for knowing about John Hancock!
No worries Lyle.....we will turn you into an American eventually.
You did very well sir!

Good Job Lyle 👍you got 26 right 😉
Easiest way to remember the Redsox stadium is to remember transformers. "The sox at Fenway. A cold hotdog and a flat beer?"
Got 32 out of 40 right. From the US. You did pretty good Patrol. Some i missed you got right.
I got 28 out of 40. Sydney, Australia

Oh ok. I've heard of Sears Tower and Freedom Tower, just not by those other names.

"out of left field"
You do realize that comes from baseball.
Lol, nope
@@PatrolNation people around the world use terms that come from baseball and they don't even know it.
didn't mean to throw you a "curve ball"
is my guess "in the park"
that idea was "out of the park"
right off the bat
touch base
cover all your bases
3 strikes you're out
step up to the plate
nice guys finish last.
we built a new tower
Denali used to be called Mckinnly
And Willis Tower is really the sears tower.
In Chicago
You did a fantastic job!
Thank you so much!
I got 30 right.
Had to giggle at some of your remarks 😊.
Memphis Tennessee here

Thanks Peggy
I am from Germany and I got 18 of them right.
Great job normora 😊
Good job

You were right... McKinley was Denali originally before the name change.
Yale is in New Haven CT
You got 27 right and 13 wrong...thats very good!
So I found out that the mountain in alaska, Denali, also goes by Mt. McKinley. So technically you got that one right.
Denali is the original name of McKinley it has now been changed back to Denali (The Great One - Koyukon Athabascan) and you did better on many of these than I did

You were correct, but a bit late. Denali aka Mount McKinley. During the Obama Administration the original native American name was restored.
Dude. For a non-citizen, you did well.
Thank you
Hi Lyle
I think you did pretty considering you're from a country much of the world is still not convinced is real 😂
Born in the U.S., been here my whole life and I missed 10. Probably wouldnt pass the citizenship test either lol. Good thing they don't test us yearly or I'd be kicked out and living in another country!
Me too lol
75% of Americans couldn't pass this. How many passengers were on the Mayflower???? Really?
Right. I was like who knows and I don't remember them telling us that when I went to school 100 years ago 😂😂
they tricked you. Denali was renamed McKinley and then renamed back to Denali.

One world trade was built in place of the 2 towers that were attacked on Sept 11. I think that is what you were debating.
Also keep in mind most Americans would probably do worse.
Sears Tower was the tallest in the world when it was built.
The current tallest in the US, including its spire is where the Twin towers World trade center was until 2001.
Really, you did very well, not to be an American citizen! Congratulations!
pausing the video is cheating.
It's a little cheaty. I wasn't sure people would hear my answer over the music that just got louder and louder.
