@Seán Jared hahaah yeah true ! You guys have a lot less privacy than we do for that haha But no french people like there privacy especially in those times haha
Yeah, as American, those annoy me also. Every once and a while you find a rest room with full doors, and it’s like a luxury. Probably most of the are like that because cheaply or lazily designed.
My mind was blown when I discovered other countries don’t eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. And that people there don’t think peanut butter and jelly don’t go together. There aren’t many things on earth that go together better than peanut butter and jelly.
B P no. Peanut butter and jelly. What we call jelly you call jam. We also have jam but it is slightly different than jelly. What you call jelly we call jell-o.
Ikr? I hate even the thought of something sweet first thing in the morning. I'm like, "Nope, my stomach is empty; give me REAL food, not dessert!" lol.
I would say that the French like something light in the morning. Especially Parisians. Coffee with a croissant is common. Or as Manon says a pain au chocolat which is a chocolate stuffed croissant. Americans get up earlier in general and want something hearty for breakfast. Because they don't eat again until noon at least they need something to fill their stomach and last. That often means heavier things. Meat. Bread. Milk. Pancakes. Waffles. Often in a sweet and savory mix which is a thing for Americans. So they will have eggs plus toast which has jam on it with hash brown potatoes and a side of meat like sausage, ham or bacon.
@@manonbtravels6343 depends on your location. Midwestern and Western folks say “surup”, in New England, The megalopolis, and the southeast it’s pronounced “seerup”.
The American Breakfast is from when families were farmers. Often the men had to have a big hearty breakfast to work the fields, lots of labor involved. It just passed down the generations. Americans love cold drinks. How many Europeans drink ice tea? In the southern states it often comes with the lunch meal.
Actually, people used to practice intermittent fasting. The modern conception of breakfast was created by the food industry and ads saying "You can't be your best if you don't eat a good breakfast." Eating breakfast actually makes people feel lethargic.
@@nerychristian I'm a machinist, and usually skip breakfast for that reason. I'll usually eat maybe a piece of fruit and a couple boiled eggs for lunch too. Staying hydrated is my biggest concern, at least during the summer. It can easily get over 100 degrees on the shop floor, and fans only help so much before they end up just circulating hot air. Eating heavy in that kind of heat tends to make me feel sick.
@@UR_Right24 All those farm animals came from the Middle East originally, and spread around the globe along with agriculture. Since we could live in one place and mold mother nature to our favor, we no longer needed to follow the rhythms of the feral world to gain sustenance. and with that knowledge we were forever denied reentry the Garden of Eden.

I’m American but I’ve always hated the cup full of ice drinks. First, it makes the drink so cold that you can’t taste the liquid. Second, as the ice melts the drink gets watery and tastes bad. I always order the drink with no ice and I actually get it with no ice 1% of the time because they’re so used to doing it that’s it automatic. I guess I’m not a normal American.
Yeah I never got used to it even after 5 years! Haha I also asked for no ice most of the times. But I had some American friends who asked for extra ice! Like what?? Haha
I can taste food and drinks better if they are either hot or cold. I do not like it diluted. But I usually have it gone before the ice melts. And refills are free. Just pour it out and get a refill.
Manon, for what it's worth, not all of us eat that type of breakfast. I, for example, have cereal and coffee. The picture of pancakes with bacon on top, then syrup poured over the whole thing is a first for me. Fries in ice cream is something else I've absolutely never dreamed of.

When I became a bit older and went to friend's homes, their Moms would serve us peanut butter & grape jelly. I liked that better. The peanut butter didn't really stick to my mouth anymore with the help of the jelly. I asked my Mom to buy grape jelly for my peanut butter sandwich and that's how I continued to eat it. As an adult I don't really like grape jelly with my peanut butter. But I do enjoy strawberry preserves or raspberry preserves. Or even fig preserves. Preserves hold together on the peanut butter sandwich better than jelly. Doesn't leak out of the sides. Also much tastier. In my household growing up, the saltier breakfasts were more of a weekend thing. Before school a quick bowl of cereal or oatmeal with a glass of chocolate milk was typical during the week. My favorite quick breakfast now is a chocolate croissant and a cup of coffee. This makes me feel full of energy and ready to start my day.
Thats not what i said for exemple i in france was allways finish my plate every time so as a french i don't know for other countries but when we go out to eat we finish every thing no waste 👍
Lol. The thing I couldn’t get over in Europe was the ice thing. We like COLD drinks and since refills aren’t an issue anymore as of about 25 years ago. Yep, bring on the ice!!! I was in London and got a luke warm soda with literally one cube in it. I’d heard about the ice thing and here it was. I asked for a glass of ice figuring I’d have a way around this issue...they brought be a glass with two half melted cubes in it. Hahahaha. I got back to the New York airport and went to a bar and asked for a coke with a full glass of ice. The bartender said “just back from Europe?” Hahaha
The milkshake and fries is all about contrast: hot vs cold, crispy vs smooth, salty vs sweet. I've never dipped them but do think eating them together is good.
You are right, fries and ice cream is weird and our bathroom stalls do suck. Maybe it's somehow related to outhouses in the old times and the design just never changed.
The ice cream and fries is not that common, though. For the most part, it only happens with Wendy's. Even with Wendy's I don't see people do it as much since they changed their fries.
Chris H awe thank you that’s super sweet!! I don’t feel like I’m very good but glad someone think so. I want to make more videos I just have a hard times finding time
Two words for ya, "Dunkin' Donuts". I love your accent, "uncomFortable", "mapple syrup", I prefer honey or strawberry preserves with peanut butter, but I'm a weirdo.
More like I can't understand a person who doesn't like chocolate. Peanut butter and jelly is for children. Once you reach high school and become and you don't eat it anymore. Peanut butter tastes cheap too, hazelnut is much better.
My grandparents had a farm growing up and they would be up around 4am; working on the farm. After a few chores, grandma would come in and start cooking breakfast; bacon, eggs, etc...I would wake up to the smell of these cooking...absolute Heaven!!!
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos, I really appreciate it you seem like such a sweet young lady I hope no change that I know you'll fit in wherever you are have a great one!
@@manonbtravels6343 you should try Biscuits and Gravy for a southern breakfast and a Chicken Fried Steak with white gravy on it. There’s also fried okra and green beans with bacon bits in it with a good ol’ buttery roll.
I love the way you Pronouce Syrup. If you ever get the Chance, I recommend visiting Wisconsin and trying the Dairy products there. most importantly Cheese Curds.
If you like peanut butter. We have a couple other combos you might try. Mix some honey with the peanut butter. OR spread peanut butter on one half and marshmallow cream on the other, called a fluffernutter. Yumm.
I thought for a minute you were going to say something bad about bacon. That would have been fighting words in this country. (I'm exaggerating, but we do love our bacon.)
There is a reason for the large restaurant portions and taking the left overs to go. Decades ago some restaurants realized that the food was actually the least expensive part of what they sold customers, compared to the costs of labor, rent, supplies etc. and some began competing on portion size. This kind of got, at least in some places, a bit out of hand. ;) So then we had all these restaurants serving meals that most people would never eat all of, and most of us are taught from an early age not to waste food so taking the rest home just followed naturally. Something similar is going on with the free refills. The cost of topping off your glass of soda or cup of coffee is downright negligible compared to paying the staff, owning and running the soda machine and so on so it just became common to offer free refills.
I've lived and traveled around Europe. Once while living in southern France (Marseille), myself and ten or twelve other Americans found a quaint little restaurant in the country. 95% of them ordered some sort of steak and potato dish. I ordered Canard with Escargot appetizers. It was fantastic!! I've been to Paris but prefer Southern France.
I agree. I cannot get used to leaving your bed in the morning and sitting down to a heavy breakfast (pancakes, bacon, etc.). I like the lite crossoint/coffee. Peanut butter is too gummy.
The gap provides visibility in case a person inside is in some kind of distress. It also helps first responders, who could pull the occupant out without having to break down the door.
I'm from Minnesota and French fries and a frosty are pretty good together never really seen or heard of the pairing apart from Wendy's though. I've tried it with different ice cream and fries although and it's not the same to say the least lol
PB&J is the best! What's wrong with you? LOL Regarding breakfast, try eggs, bacon, ham, pancakes, hash browns, biscuits and gravy, toast, and coffee and OJ (or a Mimosa)! Maybe some cut up fruit after (watermelon, pineapple, strawberries, blueberries, mandarin orange, apple, etc.).
I remember being so disappointed in Europe when i they told me i could get bacon and egg sandwich and it was just fried ham lol. BTW bathroom stalls really suck
British bacon can be streaky bacon or back bacon, Americans think that bacon can only be streaky bacon. Ham comes from the leg so it is not true that your bacon was smocked ham. It was bacon but not as you understand it as you have a limited understanding, I
It's very cool that you are willing to try weird food instead of just dismissing it. You might like PB&J better with a different jam, concord grape is a pretty particular flavor. I don't personally like anything at Wendy's, but the fries and frosty thing tastes exactly like you think it would. Not wanting to look into someone's stall is why we bend down and check for feet. It's important to know that not all places give free refills. It's common in less expensive restaurants, but frequently only for soda. A glass of water is always free, by law. You can have as much water as you want at any restaurant.
The Breakfast that we here in the USA evolved out of the English type breakfast eaten in the 17th/18th centuries. There are some good video's online talking about the origins of breakfast.
the mixture of salt and sugar is the "speedball" of food. it's incredibly unhealthy, but it's the pinnacle of deliciousness. And your body craves the combo. That's why people dip fries in Frosties.... "According to Barb Stuckey, the author of TASTE: Surprising Stories and Science About Why Food Tastes Good, we've evolved to gravitate to sweet foods since they're traditionally the most energy rich (read: high in calories). Our bodies are also conditioned to like salty foods since sodium is an essential mineral we need to function. Killing these two biological needs with one stone thus becomes extremely satisfying, with Stuckey comparing it to "hearing beautiful music while sniffing rose petals: two positive sensory stimuli." It explains why it's so easy for us to plow through a bag of kettle corn - and why trail mix is just garbage without the M&Ms."
I know a lot of people who don't like the Sweet/Salty Combination. but there is a whole different flavor set when you mix the two, and it can be really good, creeping up on the "Umami" flavor
My wife and I visited France several years ago. I found one thing interesting in my driving experience: drivers must always signal before changing lanes. The police are VERY SERIOUS about enforcing this. I drove in France for one week only and was pulled over twice for not signaling. I have never been pulled over in the U.S. for not signaling, and I have been driving for 50 years. You have a very beautiful country.
Bill McCarthy thank you !! And yes that’s for sure ! You absolutely need to turn on your light to show your changing lane. It’s a must and like you said you will get in trouble for not doing it.
Just because you got away with not signaling lane changes doesn't mean you shouldn't do it or that it is legal. I believe that signaling lane changes is a rule of the road in most, if not all, 50 states.
Wow that’s really interesting that restaurants don’t offer to-go boxes in France. I did not know that. Also, I laughed when you commented on people carrying drinks everywhere and the public restroom stalls 😂 it’s so true!!!
Christina Chung - We have them in the UK but we call them take-away boxes, they’re so useful for when you can’t finish a meal (I’ve saved a lot of food from going to waste because of them).
Manonb travels - true, you probably don’t need them in France. I’m a very slow eater, so I usually use takeaway boxes because I don’t have enough time to finish the meal, and not because of the portion size.
Sunflower oh I see! Yeah I don’t have that problem, i eat pretty fast haha a little too fast.. but the only time I can’t finish my plate in France is at pizzerias. I always have a hard time finishing the last quarter of pizzas.
Omg please do a small reaction video of you trying the fries and frosty thing. It tastes amazing. I didn't really like the vanilla one but it's good in the chocolate frosty. Also the reason for all of the ice in your glass is because certain sodas have to be kept at specific temperatures otherwise the soda will go flat and start to taste different. Like not as crisp.
Never in my life have I seen people dip fries in frosties or milkshakes. Must be a new thing, but it's even dumber than dipping pizza in ranch dressing.
Both of them are gross, but the fries and frosty thing has been going on pretty much since Wendy's opened. If you don't go to Wendy's much, you could totally have missed it, though. I really never see it anywhere else.
People, it's the sweet and salty. Chocolate covered bacon, Sausage or bacon with Maple sirup, Frosted cupcakes with bacon, Honey glazed ham, etc. Name your combo, it's delicious. Sweet and savoury is also amazing, Like chicken and waffles with syrup.
OMG, You just have to try a Peanut butter & Jelly (concord grape) sandwich !!! Yes, we hate the bathroom stalls too! I thought I was the only American that enjoyed dipping my french fries in malts or frostys, I've never seen anybody else do it before and people give me a funny look when I do it ...LOL...
I’m American and I absolutely agree I HATE those bathroom stalls lol
10 times better than adjacent holes in the ground in the orient

You paid for the food why wouldnt you take home what you didnt finish😂
Well in france and in europe in general they will serve you less food than american i don't say it's better or not it's just a fact ;)
@@Soraz33 i still would take home what i dont finish doesnt matter what size i get
Thats not what i said for exemple i in france was allways finish my plate every time so as a french i don't know for other countries but when we go out to eat we finish every thing no waste 👍
ramène you can understand what you want but it was not douchey has you said
@J purple ramen ;)
It is criminal that you only have 3000 subscribers. Love your stuff! Fries in milkshakes is so good!
Thank you that is so sweet !
Lol. The thing I couldn’t get over in Europe was the ice thing. We like COLD drinks and since refills aren’t an issue anymore as of about 25 years ago. Yep, bring on the ice!!! I was in London and got a luke warm soda with literally one cube in it. I’d heard about the ice thing and here it was. I asked for a glass of ice figuring I’d have a way around this issue...they brought be a glass with two half melted cubes in it. Hahahaha. I got back to the New York airport and went to a bar and asked for a coke with a full glass of ice. The bartender said “just back from Europe?” Hahaha
Other cultures seem to be suspicious of lots of ice. Hmmmmm..........
So why do you want lots of ice? Seems like you get less to drink and is very wasteful?
@@BP-kx2ig - As the commenter stated, we get free refills on the drink!
Peanut butter and jelly is an American staple. A favorite of children from coast to coast. I like it on white bread with a glass of milk.
The milkshake and fries is all about contrast: hot vs cold, crispy vs smooth, salty vs sweet. I've never dipped them but do think eating them together is good.
You are right, fries and ice cream is weird and our bathroom stalls do suck. Maybe it's somehow related to outhouses in the old times and the design just never changed.
The ice cream and fries is not that common, though. For the most part, it only happens with Wendy's. Even with Wendy's I don't see people do it as much since they changed their fries.
Fried banana and peanut butter sandwich was one of Elvis Presley's favorite midnight snacks.
Elvis was a child molester.
He is dead
He was from the south. Girls merry young down thar sonny boys!
@Dan Thomas Maybe.
I have thought of putting bananas, coconut, and marshmallows in a blender to make peanut butter helper.
I think you should do more videos. You are a natural at it. More please.
Chris H awe thank you that’s super sweet!! I don’t feel like I’m very good but glad someone think so. I want to make more videos I just have a hard times finding time
Like how you pronounce syrup.
E Z E hahah thank you
@@manonbtravels6343 And maple.
Love it. Very interesting.
thank you !! :)
I don't do the fries in Frosties either.
good ! I just tried it again and gross hahaa
LOVED this video!
thanks !!
peanut butter and banana sandwiches are where it’s at i am with you
yeah the best combination !!
Good job,I enjoy your videos
Two words for ya, "Dunkin' Donuts". I love your accent, "uncomFortable", "mapple syrup", I prefer honey or strawberry preserves with peanut butter, but I'm a weirdo.
hahaha some of these words are hard to pronounce !
Wonko The Sane I’m with ya...strawberry is the best. Hate grape jelly 🤢
Speaking of, peanut butter and bacon make for a great sandwich! Try it on lightly toasted wheat bread.
PB and pickle chips or green olives, with mayo.
I can't understand a person that doesn't like peanut butter and jelly.
tking1170 hahaha 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Try a butter, peanut butter, and jelly sammich.
@@ericmorgan7210 That's how my dad had it. It takes the dryness out of the peanut butter but it's too rich for me.
More like I can't understand a person who doesn't like chocolate. Peanut butter and jelly is for children. Once you reach high school and become and you don't eat it anymore. Peanut butter tastes cheap too, hazelnut is much better.
I though peanut butter & banana sandwich was weird. When I heard Elvis liked them, I gave it a try and it was pretty good.
My grandparents had a farm growing up and they would be up around 4am; working on the farm. After a few chores, grandma would come in and start cooking breakfast; bacon, eggs, etc...I would wake up to the smell of these cooking...absolute Heaven!!!
I can listen to her say "Uncomfortable" and "Syrup" all day...
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos, I really appreciate it you seem like such a sweet young lady I hope no change that I know you'll fit in wherever you are have a great one!
I like you French girl, you should come to the South and try some of our food. You'd love grits. 🤣
I would love too !! I love grite already but I would love to try southern receipes with them
@@manonbtravels6343 Excellent, come visit the South. Try our bar-be-cue. We'll make you feel right at home. I enjoy your videos. 👍
@@manonbtravels6343 come texas or Louisiana in the south
@@manonbtravels6343 you should try Biscuits and Gravy for a southern breakfast and a Chicken Fried Steak with white gravy on it. There’s also fried okra and green beans with bacon bits in it with a good ol’ buttery roll.
The way you say maple syrup is so cute! You've earned a subscriber :)
I’m American and locking eyes through the stall door makes me feel uncomfortable too lol
right that's so awkward haha
I love the way you Pronouce Syrup. If you ever get the Chance, I recommend visiting Wisconsin and trying the Dairy products there. most importantly Cheese Curds.
Americans work the most out of all nations
We got to eat and drink on the go dont have time to sit and enjoy food lol
Sir Liver & Bunions 2.0
Eat on the run. Eat a sandwich and still working. Can’t stop working can we.
@@drmachinewerke1 nope Americans grind the most if we had the same amount of people as China we'd beat them
If you like peanut butter. We have a couple other combos you might try. Mix some honey with the peanut butter. OR spread peanut butter on one half and marshmallow cream on the other, called a fluffernutter. Yumm.
I thought for a minute you were going to say something bad about bacon. That would have been fighting words in this country. (I'm exaggerating, but we do love our bacon.)
anonygent haha I used to love it but now I don’t. Don’t fight me 😂😂
Manonb travels
@@anonygent I'm with you, Manonb. Bacon is nothing but pig fat.
@@manonbtravels6343 same.
The portions at our local Italian restaurant is so late, it provides lunch or dinner the next day for my wife and I.
Try pancakes with syrup and bacon.
Salty always goes with sweet. Breakfast,lunch or dinner.
First time seen your video and it is blast. Just love your innocence, will enjoy when have time.
I meant time for her videos.
You’re likeable!
Weird in France: Sentences are spoken backwards. Sandwiches everywhere! Where’s the famous French cuisine in Paris?
It only looks 'backwards' because French is a Latin language ( the cat black) , while English is a Germanic language (the black cat) .
There is a reason for the large restaurant portions and taking the left overs to go. Decades ago some restaurants realized that the food was actually the least expensive part of what they sold customers, compared to the costs of labor, rent, supplies etc. and some began competing on portion size. This kind of got, at least in some places, a bit out of hand. ;) So then we had all these restaurants serving meals that most people would never eat all of, and most of us are taught from an early age not to waste food so taking the rest home just followed naturally.
Something similar is going on with the free refills. The cost of topping off your glass of soda or cup of coffee is downright negligible compared to paying the staff, owning and running the soda machine and so on so it just became common to offer free refills.
Protein in the morning gives a person energy to start the day.
Yeah for sure ! Some goods carbs and protein is great
In the US we need that energy to get through our 40 hour work week. France 35 hours.
Dipping fries in ice cream is a bad idea. However, PB&J sandwiches are delicious! You really need to try them.
Fries in frostees are weird
Mister Green yep they are !
I've lived and traveled around Europe. Once while living in southern France (Marseille), myself and ten or twelve other Americans found a quaint little restaurant in the country. 95% of them ordered some sort of steak and potato dish. I ordered Canard with Escargot appetizers. It was fantastic!! I've been to Paris but prefer Southern France.
Bacon goes with everything! :)
Ares Titian Exactly 😛
@Steve Slade This is why I don't eat jam and toast - and anything but non-starchy vegetables and chicken breast.
I agree. I cannot get used to leaving your bed in the morning and sitting down to a heavy breakfast (pancakes, bacon, etc.). I like the lite crossoint/coffee. Peanut butter is too gummy.
She forgot to mention that unlike their Eiffel tower none of our national monuments double as television antennas.
You might be mistaken.
Except for the Empire State Building, the Space Needle, and Canada has the CN Tower
Japan has a few Eiffel-ish towers that are TV transmitters.
Hahaha her reaction to refills 😅
i was like, "WHAAAAAA?" - the syrup for soda is made to be diluted w the melted ice and you get free refills so it's not like you're being cheated!
yeah but it's so annoying so haha you take two sips and it is gone
@@manonbtravels6343 How big are your sips?
Kimberly Hicks okay i might have exaggerated a bit 😂😂
The gap provides visibility in case a person inside is in some kind of distress. It also helps first responders, who could pull the occupant out without having to break down the door.
I'm American and I don't do the french fries and frosty either.
Master Voni good !! It tastes bad haha
I'm from Minnesota and French fries and a frosty are pretty good together never really seen or heard of the pairing apart from Wendy's though. I've tried it with different ice cream and fries although and it's not the same to say the least lol
PB&J is the best! What's wrong with you? LOL Regarding breakfast, try eggs, bacon, ham, pancakes, hash browns, biscuits and gravy, toast, and coffee and OJ (or a Mimosa)! Maybe some cut up fruit after (watermelon, pineapple, strawberries, blueberries, mandarin orange, apple, etc.).
I remember being so disappointed in Europe when i they told me i could get bacon and egg sandwich and it was just fried ham lol. BTW bathroom stalls really suck
sounds like Canadian bacon
British bacon can be streaky bacon or back bacon,
Americans think that bacon can only be streaky bacon.
Ham comes from the leg so it is not true that your bacon was smocked ham.
It was bacon but not as you understand it as you have a limited understanding,
I
@@BP-kx2ig "Canadian" bacon is back bacon that has been smoked, cured, and fully cooked :)
I was disappointed when I couldn't stare at people through the bathroom doors.
It's very cool that you are willing to try weird food instead of just dismissing it. You might like PB&J better with a different jam, concord grape is a pretty particular flavor. I don't personally like anything at Wendy's, but the fries and frosty thing tastes exactly like you think it would.
Not wanting to look into someone's stall is why we bend down and check for feet.
It's important to know that not all places give free refills. It's common in less expensive restaurants, but frequently only for soda. A glass of water is always free, by law. You can have as much water as you want at any restaurant.
You’re right- fries in ice cream is a gateway drug for diabetes
The Breakfast that we here in the USA evolved out of the English type breakfast eaten in the 17th/18th centuries. There are some good video's online talking about the origins of breakfast.
Dipping fries in Frosties is a crime against God and a crime against man.
I prefer fries dipped in a McDonald’s vanilla shake. Haven’t had it since I was a kid but I might get it soon now that I think about it!
Fries and ice-cream do not enhance the flavors...its like ice-cream and steak.
I agree it's the nuggets that hit the spot.
Not to me i dislike them both.
Have you tried corn beef hash with eggs sunny side up and toast? Don't eat the toast right away, but use it to soak up the eggs and grease afterwards.
the mixture of salt and sugar is the "speedball" of food. it's incredibly unhealthy, but it's the pinnacle of deliciousness. And your body craves the combo. That's why people dip fries in Frosties....
"According to Barb Stuckey, the author of TASTE: Surprising Stories and Science About Why Food Tastes Good, we've evolved to gravitate to sweet foods since they're traditionally the most energy rich (read: high in calories). Our bodies are also conditioned to like salty foods since sodium is an essential mineral we need to function.
Killing these two biological needs with one stone thus becomes extremely satisfying, with Stuckey comparing it to "hearing beautiful music while sniffing rose petals: two positive sensory stimuli." It explains why it's so easy for us to plow through a bag of kettle corn - and why trail mix is just garbage without the M&Ms."
Thats why I get the trail mix with M&M's
I know a lot of people who don't like the Sweet/Salty Combination. but there is a whole different flavor set when you mix the two, and it can be really good, creeping up on the "Umami" flavor
My wife and I visited France several years ago. I found one thing interesting in my driving experience: drivers must always signal before changing lanes. The police are VERY SERIOUS about enforcing this. I drove in France for one week only and was pulled over twice for not signaling. I have never been pulled over in the U.S. for not signaling, and I have been driving for 50 years. You have a very beautiful country.
Bill McCarthy thank you !! And yes that’s for sure ! You absolutely need to turn on your light to show your changing lane. It’s a must and like you said you will get in trouble for not doing it.
Just because you got away with not signaling lane changes doesn't mean you shouldn't do it or that it is legal. I believe that signaling lane changes is a rule of the road in most, if not all, 50 states.
You must be from the South ;)
In my state you will get pulled over for not signaling.
Wow that’s really interesting that restaurants don’t offer to-go boxes in France. I did not know that. Also, I laughed when you commented on people carrying drinks everywhere and the public restroom stalls 😂 it’s so true!!!
Christina Chung yeah we don’t really used them! It’s rare that restaurant even offer that! Also just realized I said to go bag in the video haha.
Christina Chung - We have them in the UK but we call them take-away boxes, they’re so useful for when you can’t finish a meal (I’ve saved a lot of food from going to waste because of them).
Sunflower yeah they are useful! But most of the time I do finish my food in France because the portion are usually pretty on point.
Manonb travels - true, you probably don’t need them in France. I’m a very slow eater, so I usually use takeaway boxes because I don’t have enough time to finish the meal, and not because of the portion size.
Sunflower oh I see! Yeah I don’t have that problem, i eat pretty fast haha a little too fast.. but the only time I can’t finish my plate in France is at pizzerias. I always have a hard time finishing the last quarter of pizzas.
As was the case with all of your "weird" American food combos, we like the combination of sweet and salty, or sweet and savory.
Omg please do a small reaction video of you trying the fries and frosty thing. It tastes amazing. I didn't really like the vanilla one but it's good in the chocolate frosty. Also the reason for all of the ice in your glass is because certain sodas have to be kept at specific temperatures otherwise the soda will go flat and start to taste different. Like not as crisp.
Never in my life have I seen people dip fries in frosties or milkshakes. Must be a new thing, but it's even dumber than dipping pizza in ranch dressing.
Both of them are gross, but the fries and frosty thing has been going on pretty much since Wendy's opened. If you don't go to Wendy's much, you could totally have missed it, though. I really never see it anywhere else.
I've never seen a french-fry dipped in any ice cream. It's done here?!?
People, it's the sweet and salty. Chocolate covered bacon, Sausage or bacon with Maple sirup, Frosted cupcakes with bacon, Honey glazed ham, etc. Name your combo, it's delicious. Sweet and savoury is also amazing, Like chicken and waffles with syrup.
OMG, You just have to try a Peanut butter & Jelly (concord grape) sandwich !!! Yes, we hate the bathroom stalls too! I thought I was the only American that enjoyed dipping my french fries in malts or frostys, I've never seen anybody else do it before and people give me a funny look when I do it ...LOL...
