As an American, I find this so wholesome and funny! I love you guys!
same tho same!
Hahaha right
I love it
"Look, it's a gas station. Those people have a porch" it's so funny
As a British citizen living in the UK, everything is completely different in our Country compared to the USA. That's why we are fascinated with America.
If you (as a US citizen) living in the USA, came to England you would probably be the same, fascinated by our way of life.
Please don’t Mock us, IF YOU are doing so.
You wouldn't like it if WE did it to you in England.
What appears normal to you is different to us.
What appears normal to us is different to you.
Our way of life in the UK is different to your way of life in the USA.
However some parts of America do look very Beautiful.
We have some beautiful countryside in England, mostly used by farmers.
I thought the same thing. I’m glad you all are loving the US
Pennsylvania is LITERALLY the best representation of small town America in my opinion.
Seems like I’ve been taking Walmart for granted my entire life 😂
And to answer y’all’s question at 18:36, as someone who used to be a stocker at Walmart, we’d have a scanner that would tell us the exact location of every item in the store when we scanned the barcode. It took a long time but it wasn’t too difficult!
Also, it’s interesting that you say at 19:36 that Walmart doesn’t sell alcohol or cigarettes. Maybe that’s just the one y’all went to? There’s usually a dedicated alcohol aisle at every Walmart, and the cigarettes are stored in behind the cashier.
Yeah and some even have like a separate liquor store attached. That’s weird theirs didn’t. They must have been in a dry county or city.
@@breannayoung138 Pretty delayed response but it's because they're in PA. All liquor in Pennsylvania is sold in state owned stores and there are exclusive beer distributors for beer. Just recently they allowed the sale of some wine and up to 12 packs of beer in convenience stores but no Walmarts in the state sell any alcohol as far as I know. They do sell cigarettes but its usually just at one register.
I love how honest charlotte is with her critiques, cracks us up, keep it up charlotte :)
Love your enthusiasm for Walmart! Just so you know, as with Costco, those super large sized products are used by people who buy for schools, church groups, food kitchens, party catering, etc. They make large quantities to feed large groups and provide services for groups. Yes, some large families use them too, but mostly they are used for people who are providing group services.
Thank you!
Not entirely true. Costco is used by small and single households too, to stock up on stuff. We are very spoiled here with our large quantities.
Still so happy that you created this channel!! Love TPW but this one is increasingly becoming my favourite!! Keep it up and enjoy the rest of your time in the states 🥳
Thank you so much!
I generally could watch you guys do anything, its always so entertaining. I do love these traveling videos/ day in the life
I used to work at corporate Walmart, glad to see you love it! And most this stuff really isn’t that big if you’ve got a family. That pasta sauce for instance is just enough for one or two dinners with kids.
I love how patriotic Americans are … flags everywhere is awesome.!! We don’t do that here in Australia but should
🇦🇺 🇺🇸
My father fought together with Australians in WWII & he had a great love for your country & its people.
God bless!
Charlotte makes me laugh so much! Love these vlogs, grateful for all your efforts and work to take us along 💗
Thank you!
You're right of course, we do take for granted all that America offers.
America's scenery spans from one extreme to another and everything in between. Grinding poverty to unbelievable opulence and wealth! The landscape itself ranges the same expanse and differences. THAT part, we don't take for granted. The difference between say the Smokey Mountains and Key West Florida couldn't be more extremely different!
Wendy's chilli has big chunks because they are chopped hamburgers...the policy is fresh cooked, so leftovers become chilli. It's actually a great value as they often have a lot of quality ground beef
Loving these American roadtrip vlogs! Me and my brother have been following along with all of these videos so far 😊. Hope you enjoy yourselves!!
It's neat to see how different other parts of the US are. The different architecture, city planning, fast food places (haven't seen an A&W in ages - right next to the Long John Silvers' you passed by), seeing houses with no fences & some actual room between you & your next door neighbor. Southern California is so overdeveloped that there's virtually nothing to see along the sides of the road or freeways other than massive housing tracts or shopping centers.
Thanks for taking the time to go more in depth & behind the scenes in between the parks. I found the travel vlogs before to rushed and not enough of the details beyond the parks that really quite honestly are so much of a trip like this.
I remember you took the RTA in Cleveland from Hopkind Airport & walked to the Amtrak station at night on your first visit to Cedar Point. Lol, im glad you made it unscathed.
Long John Silver's is fish! You can get your Fish and Chips there!!
Sounds good!
Keep the videos coming guys! Safe travels around the US 😀
Those bugs come from the lake in May & june, but dont bite or sting. They are attracted to the lights at Cedar Point.
Thought that was an Adam the Woo video from the title there, enjoy the trip guys 😃
Love real American towns like this. Much prefer their high streets and roads to ours however, they definitely need to be introduced to the art of the roundabout!
They are great!
Coming from small town USA I can tell you we hate roundabouts! lol
And yet I couldn’t agree more, we NEED roundabouts!!! Keep the traffic flowing. 4-way stops in traffic cause my blood pressure to spike 🤣
@@TheSanbrookeAdventures just so you guys know you have someone scamming trying to be you and they stole your pictures. They tried to get me.
They put a roundabout in by me here in the United States near a shopping center & people are so confused about what to do. Before that, I only saw them on Benny Hill. 😆
Loving watching you travelling through different places. Charlotte you are a good videographer
You two are such a lovely couple. You seem like a perfect match for each other. I gotta admit that your walmart reactions are pretty funny. Being an American we've had these walmart supercenters everywhere since the mid 1990's so it's become a normal part of life here. We've had Aldi in my area in Indiana since the 90's as well. They're pretty common here. That has to be one of the most beat down Wendy's I've ever seen! I really enjoy these vlogs. I'm looking forward to the next one!
Most Walmarts have alcohol, but there are a few states where you can only buy it at liquor stores - Pennsylvania must be one of those. Great vlog - really enjoy watching your adventures!
Pennsylvania does have unique liquor laws. They have state stores where you buy alcohol etc.
I live in Delaware and no alcohol at all in our grocery stores either not even beer or wine! You can only buy it at the liquor store or in restaurant or bars. 😆
My favorite moment in your fabled history was the grand finale at Butlin's when you two went up in that space capsule up above Burger King with the Star Wars theme playing. 😅
I am the same as Charlotte, I LOVED Walmart when I went to America I spent hours in there hahaha. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, driving through the streets, makes me feel like I'm there with you! Best wishes x
Long John Silvers is pretty tasty fish and chips😊
I know this video is old, but just wanted to say respond to his remark about Aldi being newer here in the USA. Actually the US has had Aldi stores since the mid 1970s. Long before the UK, which I believe got their first Aldi store in the early 90s. Surprised most people dont know we have them. Aldi has been a common grocery store here for 50 years now.
Glad you enjoy our grocery stores and our coasters. 😊
This is such a joy to watch! Love how excited you were about Walmart!!! I'd say most Americans hate Walmart. We only shop there because it's inexpensive and convenient.
Thank you!
Very true!! Wal-Mart is RESPONSIBLE for putting many, many, MANY small town businesses out of business!!! Mom and pop stores that have friendly owners, charm, and character…….ALL GONE! Such a shame!!!
Long John silvers is a fish and chips ,try it (but get the cod )
It makes me smile so much seeing all the typical American things that are fascinating to you guys! Just wanted to note that most Walmarts do sell cigarettes and alcohol, it just depends on local rules. Different states, cities and counties have different rules about what type of establishments can sell them, so that must have a place that doesn’t allow it in a supermarket.
Loved this. We are always amazed by the scale of Walmart - it’s like entering a different world! We really enjoyed travelling around Ohio last summer and seeing the real America. I love how patriotic Americans are; so many houses have a flag up. Had a day in Cleveland to visit the rock and roll hall of fame, which was fantastic. As you turned into Cedar Point Drive, it made me so jealous. Would love to return some day. Safe travels.
Cleveland , that's where I live "
oh sorry I mean England 🏴 lol 🤣 it's morning for you now in America ( USA )" have a good day ....
I couldn't get used to driving on the right hand side , of the road . 🇬🇧
I am putting my shoes on now , to go to the local shop . after watching all them cakes , because now I fancy a cake 😅
I'm so glad you liked the Rock Hall. I'm from the area & we are so lucky to have Cedar Point so close to home! 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 We stand with England always!
@@PatrickRyan150 we really enjoyed the rock hall and would love to return. We just said yesterday, we would happily return to Ohio and explore more of your state; we were made to feel so welcome. The people were lovely.
It’s adorable watching how excited you guys are getting over Walmart. Haha I love it 😂
Poor Charlotte with the Wendy’s chili! FYI: it’s made from burger patties that didn’t sell the day before, since they don’t freeze their burgers. But they’re supposed to break it up much smaller than that, those pieces were HUGE, lol!! You should try Long John Silvers, it’s basically American fish n chips.
Anyway, love these videos, you guys are so much fun to follow along with! Hope your trip continues to be awesome!! ❤️
the walmart bit was so funny cant wait for more vlogs to come!!
We need more super stores over here. Love your honesty Charlotte. Great scenery. xx
😂😂 the frosted sugar cookies: an American staple
I grew up right outside Hersheypark and it was my Alton Towers. To have the Sanbrookes call Hershey place to amazing made my day lol. I'm catching up because my wife and I just came back from London!
Thank you!
I hope you guys take some time in Williamsburg! They have the coolest little shops and history. The General Store is a must!
It's really fun to see you enjoying the sights and things that I take for granted living here. It's also funny because if I went to England, I'd be interested in things you might not think about. Even as an American, when I went out west we were having similar reactions to you in this video, because it's quite different from the east coast. Like driving through a town in the desert with a rickety roadside restaurant or going in a post office/general store in the middle of nowhere. Very fun to see how different places can be.
On the way to Holidayworld in Indiana you MUST stop in French Lick West Baden Indiana
You both sure a fan of theme parks and you both are my favourites x
@37:50 the meat in Wendy's chili is the leftover hamburger patties they didn't sell. Probably should avoid. Fun fact; Wendy's collar says "MoM".
Depending on state regional laws alcohol may or may not be in certain walmarts but if it is it's usually in the back corner by the milk coolers.
I come from a larger small city and we have 5 Walmarts...5 too many.
Awesome adventure. I love how gobsmacked you both were about things here in the states. I buy the 96 pod coffee box hahahaha Always great adventures thank you for sharing. Keep being awesome.
Great vlog as always to the both of you. I was exactly the same when I stepped foot in a Walmart for the first time, but that was in Cancun, Mexico. You two are brilliant.
It’s brilliant!
0:54 If you love Walmart, there is actually a Walmart Museum in Bentonville, Arkansas that you will love. Learn about the history of Walmart and Sam Walton at the museum. Makes a good side trip from Branson, Missouri and Silver Dollar City Theme Park. The permanent museum is temporary closed due to the renovations, but the good news is that they have a temporary pop up museum that is open until the permanent museum renovations are complete in spring 2024. I don't know if you will have time on this trip, but if you don't, you aren't missing out due to temporary museum. Maybe you can visit on a future USA Road Trip to Silver Dollar City. I am actually a deliver driver for Walmart, delivering groceries and packages from the store to people's homes, hotels, and businesses.
You're not wrong we kind of live on our front porches in America, sometimes even when it's not warm out LOL. BTW Long John Silver's is a chain on its way out but it is essentially an American Fish and Chips shop. Walmarts certainly cheap and a convenience, but something I'm certain you have seen similar in the UK and that is is that they have killed a lot of our downtown's which I was really surprised to see that the one downtown you drove through seem to be pretty vibrant still considering I knew you were on the way to a nearby Walmart. A lot of Pennsylvania is rare that it's still is very small town yet also has very big towns in and around it. I love driving through Pennsylvania though some of the mountain edge highways make me white knuckle the steering wheel.
It's great seeing different places, all the countries around the world look so exciting if you don't live there. When on holiday everything looks better then home. Walmart looks good but would not like the size of food, wow. Safety in America I would not want especially at Schools. This vlog reminds me of our Scottish scenes. Great seeing you both having fun. Thank you for sharing this all with us. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your great adventure.
when i go to orlando everyyear we love wallmart and our favourate service station 7eleven
You guys should make a trip of driving through the Appalachian Mountains, particularly The Great Smokey region in TN. It's so beautiful especially in fall when the leaves are changing color!!
Loving the vlogs on both channels!! Hope you guys continue to have a wonderful and safe trip!! ❤
Yeah, I've mentioned before if he goes to Dollywood again to stop in the Great Smokey Mountains and to rent a cabin or something for a day or two. It's really nice. The Blue Ridge Highway is great.
@@jonny-b4954 if they love the way this area looks then they will love being in Eastern TN for sure!! ♥
I am having a blast with your adventures...thanks for taking us all along with you.
So much more on the way!
The next time you find yourselves in PA, I’d love to show you guys around some REAL BBQ. Love both of your channels, guys! Your enthusiasm is infectious!
Thank you!
Riding the bikes in Walmart is a American tradition 😂 I’m proud of you charlotte
Loving vlogs, looks beautiful out there. Making me want to go holidays!
Long John Silver's is the American equivalent of a fish and chips place. They have fried fish, shrimp, and chicken along with a variety of sides (including French fries). They are pretty much nationwide so if you get a chance you should definitely try them, as they should be right up your alley.
We call them vacuum cleaners too - Hoover is just a brand name that became the casual term for them! I do think eventually we will end up like America, having to drive out to megastores/retail parks rather than having town centre shops which isn't v good for people who can't walk far or don't drive but so many town centres have empty shops atm. Also yeah, alcohol can only be bought in liquor stores over there I believe - it's not quite as easy to get hold of as it is over here which is a good thing imo!
Brilliant video guys and yes there are loads of things big in the USA lol
Fabulous vlogging very informative and enjoyable. Great adventure so far looking fwd to the next park
This video was great 😂 I love you guys and your vids!
New Jersey has a lot of Jug Handles, but there was one around 7:35. There's a few between West Chester and Delaware on 202 as well
I love driving in America when we go,,, a 2 hour journey seems like a 5 minute drive down the road because there is so much to look at..
Yep, we like our stuff big here so we can stock up rather than having to go back out and buy the same thing over and over.
For our driving track record, roundabouts are one of the more difficult for us to grasp. We have them, but they are few and far between for a reason.
We can barely get through intersections with Down traffic lights! 😂
Very cool 🏞️🚗🏠🏠🏡🏡🏡🏕️🛣️🛤️ 🇺🇲. 👍👍👍
I enjoy seeing these videos so much as an American 😂😂😂 also, when you come to Indiana, please stop in Casey’s gas in the morning. They have an amazing breakfast pizza you can grab and go by the slice
Brilliant choice to do some of the driving on smaller roads.
Long John Silver’s is a North American fish & chips chain that’s almost dried up. I’m surprised to see one!
Sounds good!
Large porches and rocking chairs on those porches are a staple of the American south, and apparently in Pennsylvania as well. I'm from Southern California and you don't really see too much of that out here. I love how much you two are enjoying the early days of your road trip.
That's the thing about America. It varies immensely depending where you're at. Completely different cultures, lifestyles and people's perspectives. We really are the "United" States.
I'd swap a rocking chair and porch for a fish taco at the pier cafe in San Diego any day!
Love seeing it all!
@@jamesaddison665 I'd love to have the fish taco while sitting in my rocker on my porch!
Funny, I was having coffee on my porch swing (across from my rocking chairs 😂) while watching this video this morning. No better place for a cup of Joe in the early morning hours.
As a person born and raised in the area highlighted in this video, I found it quite delightful. If you go to Knoebels again, you should try stopping at Rohrbach's Farm Market. It's very close to Knoebels, and they have great bakery foods that are specifically Pennsylvania Dutch (Amish) like shoofly pie and a variety of whoopie pies.
Oh the life of international UA-camrs. PriMark, B&Ms and Walmart. Proper down to earth and all the better for it
I’m a target fan and always have been. Boy I love America! Always will be an American at heart 🇺🇸
Long John Silvers is a fast food fish place. It was most popular in the 80's and 90's but has since lost alot of locations and business. A slice of Americana for sure.
hahaha This is brilliant!
I would be buying the THE WHOLE contents of the snack aisles 😂😋
It depends on the state laws for booze in stores. PA is very strict on liquor stores
Wendy's has turned into a bit of a favourite since they started opening over here (love a Baconator) although they have recently been pipped by Popeyes. Conveniently, Oxford has both
The two complement each other well with their commentary
Some counties are called 'dry counties "& forbid alcohol sales. But there is alcohol & tobacco products at all the stores by us.
Hi shawn and Charlotte Wow no wonder Tesco couldn't make it in the USA. I work for Tesco and it makes me laugh to think they actually thought they could. I brought the Cadbury chocolate recently when I was in florida in May. I have to say it did not taste like Cadbury's at all . Beautiful scenery really loved this vlog. You both are so lovely. Your so organised as well. Thankyou for sharing with us. Love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx PS My daughter who's 21 got bitten when we got of out coach to the hotel in Orlando. I gave her antihistamines and thought that would fine . No a day later her leg flared up whilst we were in Magic Kingdom. So I took her to the medical centre in the park. They examined her and said she needs to go urgent care centre. Well that was a shock on our 3rd day of our 2 weeks holiday. Disney arranged for a lift to the nearest medical centre. Went in saw a doctor fortunately it wasn't to bad but if we had left it she could of had a hole in her leg 😐. They gave her antibiotics to take every day. It cost me $336 thank goodness I had travel insurance to cover it . They side there is 3000 insects in florida and my daughter happened to bitten. She is OK now and healing well . Sorry for the long comments but I just wanted to share with to be careful. Love to you both as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
Thanks for sharing!
Sorry to hear your daughter got a bad bug bite. Happy she's okay. When I was younger my friend got bit by a mosquito on a trip to Florida & developed brain swelling that left him in a bad way. Thank God she's okay. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
@@PatrickRyan150 Oh my goodness that's awful 😢. Thankyou for your kind words xxx
6:32 Long John Silver's is a seafood fast food restaurant chain. Actually, Long John Silver's actually started in my hometown of Lexington, Kentucky. The sad part is Lexington lost their last Long John Silver's restaurant so I have to cross county lines and drive to another nearby town for Long John Silver's.
You guys are so cute together, I swear I'm laughing so hard 😂 I would deffo have them pickles though... Love em loo
Thank you!
I love seeing American life. Very jealous
If you really want to see the real US, you have to get off the freeways and take the backroads through all the little small towns. It makes for a really nice road trip.
You drove through my hometown of Cleveland! Funny enough that you mentioned the Amtrak downtown. There are discussions underway to redo the entire train/transit so if you every fly in again, it hopefully will be better.
Walmart is my dream shop everything you want in one place
When you first arrived, you hit a hot spell in Pennsylvania and the northeast in general. The weather you had at waldameer is closer to normal for Pennsylvania than like upper 80s.
I travel those same roads your driving on alot. That car on the top of that building is a dirt modified. Circle dirt track racing is huge in pa. You actually passed a track. The area you guys drove in was a big coal industry area . Towns are kinda beat up now since the mines have mostly closed but they still have their charm . That McDonald's was in my home town ! Glad you had a good time
Long John Silvers is fish and chips :)
Loved the video guys
I'm an American who now lives in the UK-- thoroughly enjoyed this 😂
Brilliant vlog mate
Of all the TPW and SA vlogs, this is one of my favorites 😂 there really isn’t anything like Walmart 🤣 y’all travel safe and enjoy the trip! Looking forward to more!
And alcohol laws are different for every state. I feel spoiled as I can get beer at my Walmart but in many other states I cannot. Pennsylvania is fairly strict
Liquor sales in WalMarts varies state to state. Some states allow stores to sell beer, etc. Some don't, and you can only buy alcohol at special stores, sometimes run by the state itself.
I loved how excited you both were driving through the state I grew up in. You passed my home town on the turnpike after leaving Hershey. Glad you enjoyed. And PS. I live 3 miles from a Walmart 😉
Love these as well can't believe size of wallmart arnt they woolworths still aswell worked there many moons ago but I was in restaurant lol enjoy guys be tuning in tonight xx
9:19 As an American, i totally agree with you Charlotte. Frosted sugar cookies are crap. I don't don't think i even know anybody who actually buys them.
I do! I use them as a door stop. 😂
Wonderful video! Glad your enjoying USA
Really loved this vlog, I'm getting the travelling bug. Hope you have a great time. It looks amazing out there 😊
I wish i had your personality and energy Shawn. You inspire me to be a better person. Dan Farrell.
Aww, bless ya both! Glad your having such an amazing time😊
We’re loving it!
