The large gap under the stall doors is for if a child gets locked in or someone in the stall is having a medical emergency. Some of them go overboard though.
yea the large gaps at the bottom is no prob, like you said it could facilitate someone outside being able to go in and help someone in an emergency. but what's insane is having vertical gaps that serve no purpose other than make you feel uncomfortable since they are eye level lol.
@@naranja1972when I first saw those gaps I was like wtf is this? I’m from Australia and there is no crazy large gaps like that. Although recently I went to a bathroom here that had a slight gap 1-2cm and that is even too much for me 😂
The gaps in bathroom stalls are for many reasons. Others mentioned medical emergencies and if kids get locked in, but there's more. Less privacy discourages drug use, sex, and vandalism. My friend used to work at a grocery store, and they put blue lightbulbs in the bathroom because it makes it harder for people to see their veins.
The cups are in red, blue and a transparent white usually. I don't think the intent is to hide what's in the cup - the cup colors are just to be festive in a party atmosphere.
Omg those are our flag colors 😆 Maybe it’s a subconscious connotation 🤔 😂. At party stores you can get them in all colors. You can always find red and clear though
There were actually two big pushes by the government to change the imperial system to metric in the US, but both of them failed. People were too confused and just kept asking the measurements to be translated back into something they could understand. In the end, the government kind of gave up.
Not totally though. All food products have both forms of measurement. If the schools start teaching the younger generation it will slowly change. While I'm American, I lived in Europe 10 years and prefer the metric system. Its base 10 and more logical.
When I was in 3rd grade the government talked about changing from imperial system to metric. To date, this has not happened. The only thing I can actually think of is bottles of sodas that come in liter bottles.
The color red i believe become popular because of the fourth of july celebration. Everyone would decorate in red, white, and blue making the red solo cups a must have.
I kept thinking the same as ya'll, now bacon we take to a whole different level...but peanutbutter is a staple that kids lived on if they weren't allergic to it...and many type's of diet's allow it for its protein content, its filling too...
I am an American living in Korea. You got the red solo cup thing correct. It's because they are cheap and disposable. So it's not only cheap but makes for easy clean up after a party.
You can actually get solo cups in many different colors here in the US. But the ones that are sold in most stores are red and blue. They also have them in different sizes.
The bathroom stalls being higher is for safety reasons in case a child gts locked in or something. I dont really understand the gap on the sides though it is creepy seeing someone walk pass. It makes me paranoid really bad cause I feel like they're peeking in on me.
We use American measurements for most day to day things like food, gas etc..BUT we also use the metric system in the US. Everyone learns the universal metric system in grade school and if you have a job related to Science or Healthcare you must use the universal metric system. For example your Tylenol may be a 500 mg tablet, etc. 😊 So most of us know how to do the conversions pretty easily even if its just an estimate.
As a short average size person (5’1) , at my favorite bar the bathroom door only covers my chest and face when I sit down. So I don’t go to the bathroom unless either I’m alone or if my best friend is there to block me 😂😅
if you're sitting, would that not apply to anyone??? if youre seated your waist is gonna be at the same level regardless of your height?? this comment is really confusing to me.
yeah I am super short too, and they make no sense, the gap stop's at mid shin, so unless they are talking about sitting on the floor they make no sense on what they are saying...
The metric system is using in many companies in the US, I retired in 2017 and worked for Jeld/Wen , a company that make windows and interior doors and the measurements where in both measurements.
For the peanut butter, yes. The small talks for me is just a "hi" and "how're you doing?" from me; anything else, my introverted ass says lolno. The spaces between the bathroom stalls just make me paranoid that someone's looking, istg. The red solo cups for me is a no go because I actually don't drink that much alcohol because I am actually allergic to alcohol. The flags, however... As an American, I've never had a flag in or attached to my house. Why? I'm not at all patriotic. In regard to the tipping culture, it's because the 9 to 5 jobs do not pay that much. So, getting tips from customers is making sure that people who are working at a restaurant has a better way of earning money.
1) people don’t eat peanut butter than often, maybe on bread but nothing else usually 2) the metric system is taught to us in school, but most people forget it bc it is never used unless you are going into a STEM based career 3) I don’t like the gaps either but they are helpful during medical emergencies and make it easier to clean the stall doors I suppose. It can also make people less likely to do strange things in the bathroom like drugs/sex/etc
I’m American, and I love PB&J, but I’ve also seen PB and marshmallow fluff, called a Fluffernutter sandwich. My grandma used to make a peanut butter and brown sugar sandwich as a special treat.
7:45 I don’t know if y’all know this or not but there are measurement lines on solo cups, for how much alcohol to put in. Like 1 shot to first line, 1 glass of wine to second line, beer to the third line… lol
The price issue is everywhere here in the US. The inflation is making it hard to pay basic bills and buy groceries. The gap between the rich and the rest of us is getting bigger and bigger.
Actually more people in Denmark fly the Danish flag. It is far more prevalent when you are out and about in Denmark, than it is in the U.S. And the same goes for Thailand. Americans are not the only ones that fly flags a lot. In fact I think Americans pale in comparison to Denmark.

Lots of foreigners bag on the bathroom gap, but it's not something that you really think about. We're grown ups. We're used to it and we don't care about it. The only people who are peeping through the gaps on the side are kids who don't know any better.
I live in the South and in a military town and almost every house has an American flag. I will say that after 9/11 the number of American flags went up exponentially. But its more typical to see lots of flags on holidays in most parts of the country.
The large gap in bathroom stalls is okay for safety. Its under the door so one would have to do the most to look at you. But the side and door gaps are ridiculously large in some places! Even the urinals have nonsensical dividers because some have no divider, some have short ones where anyone of about average height, can look over and down at you. Now because of that, bathroom stalls are always super messy from being used for #1 in mens rooms. American public bathrooms tend to suck. Although, the family/handicap ones where its a personal bathroom.. Those are always private and clean.
So I was born and raised in California and I hate making small talk with people. Socially I am not comfortable enough for that lol. I even look down when walking passed someone and i don't say HI or Good Morning and such like a lot of Americans do. Because of that my mom always said I was rude lmao
If you want to start saying good morning, my tip is to say it every single time to everyone, so that it won't be awkward if someone doesn't answer because it won't have been a misjudged decision: you didn't say good morning because you wanted an answer, you said it because you say it to everyone. Also, keep saying it to people who don't answer. 99% of the time they're just more socially awkward than you and appreciate it. Some even start saying it back after the 3828582nd attempt.
I think younger millennials and Gen Z's are a lot more introverted. Being from the older generation (I'm a Gen X), we seem to be more extroverted. I say hi or smile to anyone I make eye contact with and can easily strike up a conversation with random people anywhere.
@@DrVictorVasconcelos The last part is so accurate. Where I go for daily walks, everyone says "Hi" except two teenagers that always look at the ground. After 6 months I finally got minor eye contact. And after 9 months, I got a "hi" out of one of them. I felt so proud.
What’s funny is that as a nurse, we use the metric measurement system in hospitals. We measure weight in kg and do heights in cm, so I’m used to it. We also chart temperatures in C and usually American use Fahrenheit.
Also, more often than not men’s urinals in other countries have no dividers while in the US they usually do. For me that is much weirder than not fully private bathroom stalls.
That makes sense, but they didn’t have to make it SO high lol. I’m always afraid of flashing someone or someone just leaning down to peek if someone’s in it
@@marydavis5234 I have lived in America all my life, I’ve seen many bathrooms where the stalls are extremely high up. Some reaching just below the knees. Every bathroom can be different. But it’s also a fact that they leave cracks in the door, to the point you can really see inside if ppl tried. There’s also the common occurrence of ppl sharing stories where kids actually crawled under the stall when a random stranger is in it lol. There’s videos as well of kids being able to do that.
I originally came from Germany where the metric system was used and in the 70's we moved to Canada, so I had to learn the imperial system. Although, while still in High School, we changed to the metric system in Canada. The only thing that to me still makes no sense at all is that lots of places still use pounds which only converts to 454 grams, so not at all metric, since the metric system only works in 10's, 100's & 1000's. So prices are given by the kilo or by the pound. The informal term metric pound is for half a kilogram and should be 500 grams and not 454 grams.
We actually started to convert to the Metric system in the late 70s, but like a lot of things in the US, it got political, so it stopped. There are people in the US that are still militant about being anti-metric for again political reasons, so idiotic. It's just stupid, now instead of one set of tools, we have to buy both SAE and Metric, because both are used. I'm sure the tools manufacturers love it, so they can sell you more tools, but the consumer is screwed. So much for saving money by not converting. Metric is the easier system, it's idiotic that we still use imperial measurement, especially when the rest of the world uses it, except for the UK. Which is even MORE idiotic, because even though both are "imperial" and use the same name (like miles), the measurements are actually different. A car in the UK gets more miles per gallon than a US car, not because the car is any better, but the measurement is different.
There are gaps in public bathroom stalls & doors because many of the stalls are not custom-made, they are usually pre-fab door, wall and frame "systems" and if not measured or installed correctly then gaps are the result. They are very inexpensive compared to custom-made stalls, and faster and easier to install. Large gaps at the bottom and shorter height of doors and walls means less materials costs. Everyone hates the gaps (especially women) but there's nothing to be done about it.
I find it hilarious that they are talking so much about the red Dixie cups. Too funny... and just for the record we don't all use the red drink cups. I have several colors in my pantry, I don't like using them because of the recycling aspect of the cups. Also, if we do use them, we make sure to put out a black sharpie marker so you can put your name on your cup.
We hate the gaps in public restroom doors as well 😂 Tipping culture is annoying, and got more annoying after Covid. Now EVERYWHERE you go and pay with credit card it asks if you want to tip. The issue is that at most restaurants, the servers get paid much less than minimum wage, and rely on tips to make their money. I always tip in restaurants, and for services such as getting my nails done, my hair, valet parking, etc. If you don’t, people think you’re rude. I don’t tip, however, at places where I walk up to the counter to order and take my own food to my table and throw my own trash away.
hahaha, the first topic is my bane: I didnt start eating peanut butter until I was around 16, but I do not like eating it with jam. Eating them together seems weird to me. And yes. You need a lot of it and I love it. I asked for an entire jar of peanut butter for Christmas last year from my family. That's right kids. even in your 4th decade of life - stay weird. 🤣
Peanut butter pairs well with a lot of different foods. Peanut butter toast, PB&J , peanut butter sandwiches with chili, celery and peanut butter, chocolate and peanut butter, with pretzels... Crunchy, extra crunchy, creamy...honey roasted .I love them all. You get used to the gaps in the bathroom stalls. Most people here don't like them. Red solo cups are just an easy go to for parties, get togethers, barbeques, children's parties. I'd rather clean those up than styrofoam cups.. Small talk is a way of saying I'm not rude and it's better than awkward silence. Tipping is usually done to supplement those working in the service industry because of how poorly they are paid by their employer. The metric system is slowly becoming mainstream. Everything medical is done in metric.
American here, there isn't a specific reason why the solo cups are red. But in America, red is known as a bold, statement making, power color. Red also elicits a chemical reaction in the brain to make you hungry or thirsty. That's why you see so many fast food restaurants using the color red as well as yellow(for the same reason). So that could have been the reason for the red as well. These days, kids use solo cups because you can't tell what's inside the cup because of the high opacity of the red. I assume there are similar strategies for college students getting away with alcohol using a colored water bottle instead of a clear one.
Red cup, cheap plastic for one time, may break if you squeeze, use. 😂 The flag has a song tied to it. Bathroom gaps for hinges (my guess) cause it's a cheaper design and ppl are likely to leave the stalls faster. Interesting topics. I've lived here all my life and well... your views and takes are hilarious and on point to some extent 😂
Im from Germany and when you start talking to a random stranger (making small talk) on the street most people would look at you as if you’re an alien 😂
The only time we use the metric system is in science, track and field, and the medical field. ***SIDE NOTE *** I love Tim Hortons. Where I live at in the US, Tim Hortons is VERY popular and so is hockey (like Canada) and Football.
The gaps are definitely for emergencies and crime prevention. But it does not always work. I used to have a gas station (or petrol, however it is referred to) and there were multiple instances where myself or my employees would go to clean and would find needles in the diaper changing station, behind the toilet, under the seat. It was almost like a horrible game of spot what does not belong or something. 😅
It was around 1977 to 19 we in canada had to change all things from inches, feet , miles ect to cm. Meters and kilmeters. Just for informational purposes ihang my coat or sweater on the door where the gab in closer to the next stall and ONLY use the stall that is closest to the wall!
So there's two common things between America and India 1)Height Measurement ( Feet & inches). I am happy I don't have to worry about calculating cms.😅 2) Small Talks
I also think the whole small talk culture in the US is hilarious, cause if you'd ask someone "How are you?" in my country they'll definitely start telling you all about their personal life. We don't usually ask anything here without actually wanting to know the answer, so I was really struggling while I lived in the US...
LOL, yes New York is VERY expensive and so it California! Not everywhere is like that but it's starting too. UM Peanut butter, yah, too much is too much lol. It's dry without jelly lol!
I cant get my kid to eat peanut butter but he will eat ramen everyday if i let him 😂 and i always try to find the bathroom stall with the smallest gap! I hate it!
In West Virginia, it's very rude to interrupt an elderly person even if it means waiting 10 minutes for the conversation to end, so you can get help from a store clerk. We learned that the hard way. If a person with gray hair wants to talk, people listen or they get nasty looks from everyone.
Hello friends right You tube at moments before awesome cool I'll ideas thinking about insurance since seriously boys next door 😍 ice cream favor taste peanut butter food,
The red plastic cup is CHEAP, that's the only reason. It's cheap and easy to find any where. No deep meaning. And at this point so many people are used to seeing it they just gravitate towards it. As for the gap in the bathroom door - no, I don't like it and don't know anyone who does. It makes no sense. I just figured it's because of cost saving efforts they use less material. Everything boils back to money here. It's sad to say but it's true. Dig far enough and you'll find money is the reason.
I fly my American flag every day and have for decades. For me it’s not about “This is America” or “This is still America” because of our immigrants, it’s in honor of all Americans who have died in combat around the world under that flag. Sure, I’m absolutely proud that I am American but that’s not why I fly my flag.
There is a video about the history of the Star spangled banner which is the United States national anthem is the video that covers why Americans are so patriotic why they value 9 or a natural anthem so much but the flag as well it's a very powerful video and you guys should react to it
pb&j sandwiches are really only an american food (and i guess canada due to the proximity). its not only korea that doesn't have it. /most/ countries don't eat them.
1. No we don't put peanut butter on everything. We barely use it anymore except for peanut butter and jelly. Maybe in the 1980's but in 2024 nope. 2. Small talk is just being friendly, so they know you are not rude. Basically, to let them know you are aware of them, but I personally hate small talk but is very necessary in many situations. 3. Flags - nope don't see them everywhere just some places. Only house you see them on are usually retired military or someone with a member in the military. 4. Red solo cups, or party cups are for alcohol. The bottom line is for a shot of liquor (1 ounce/29ml), the middle line is a serving of wine (5 ounces/147 ml), and the top line is the right amount of beer (12 ounces/354ml). They are red just because that is how the company made them, no meaning. 5. Oddly we only use imperial system for very few things like measuring items, speed limits and some liquids (our sodas are in liter bottles). We don't even use miles for how far something is but instead tell you how long it will take to get there (store is 45 minutes away). We use metric for science, math, weather, medications/medical, all trade and commerce. 6. Bathroom stall doors are up so you can see if someone is on the floor in need of help, or see feet if someone is in there. HOWEVER, they are only suppose to be, per building code regulations, a 12 inches (30.4 cm) gap from ground.
As far as why America doesn't use the metric system it's basically all about money it was too expensive to convert over to it and it was too expensive to educate everyone
Just like him, I can't poop outside except in i have diarrhoea. I only poop at my place. Even at work, I can't, i ge5 constipated. I once visited my sister's place for the first time after she got married, i spent 4 days without sh*ting until i went back to my place.
They are plastic drinking cups and they come in blue, yellow, green, when you have a gathering or party they buy them at the store. It all depends on what is available. All this stuff is goofy, and not true. I think you could've done better on picking out things in America... things are different in the south, north, east, west, mid west, etc. None of this is valid.
The large gap under the stall doors is for if a child gets locked in or someone in the stall is having a medical emergency. Some of them go overboard though.

We don't like the large gaps in the door! Me and the other Americans are also wondering why the gaps are so large 😅😂
Yes, we use red cups. Its funny that people are so curious about the red cup. They are just cups. 😂😂😂
It is an interesting question though. Why can we find them in red or clear in almost any store? Why not stock yellow or black more often?
@@Taewills I see a lot of magenta, lime green, and teal solo cups sold together than red ones.

Now because of that, bathroom stalls are always super messy from being used for #1 in mens rooms. American public bathrooms tend to suck. Although, the family/handicap ones where its a personal bathroom.. Those are always private and clean.
No one I know is obsessed with peanut butter. I haven’t had a bite of peanut butter in over a year. I love my flag.🇺🇸🇺🇸
So I was born and raised in California and I hate making small talk with people. Socially I am not comfortable enough for that lol. I even look down when walking passed someone and i don't say HI or Good Morning and such like a lot of Americans do. Because of that my mom always said I was rude lmao
If you want to start saying good morning, my tip is to say it every single time to everyone, so that it won't be awkward if someone doesn't answer because it won't have been a misjudged decision: you didn't say good morning because you wanted an answer, you said it because you say it to everyone.
Also, keep saying it to people who don't answer. 99% of the time they're just more socially awkward than you and appreciate it. Some even start saying it back after the 3828582nd attempt.
I think younger millennials and Gen Z's are a lot more introverted. Being from the older generation (I'm a Gen X), we seem to be more extroverted. I say hi or smile to anyone I make eye contact with and can easily strike up a conversation with random people anywhere.
@@DrVictorVasconcelos The last part is so accurate. Where I go for daily walks, everyone says "Hi" except two teenagers that always look at the ground. After 6 months I finally got minor eye contact. And after 9 months, I got a "hi" out of one of them. I felt so proud.
What’s funny is that as a nurse, we use the metric measurement system in hospitals. We measure weight in kg and do heights in cm, so I’m used to it. We also chart temperatures in C and usually American use Fahrenheit.
The bathroom stall being higher at the bottom is for safety reasons just in case a child accidently gets locked in.
Also, more often than not men’s urinals in other countries have no dividers while in the US they usually do. For me that is much weirder than not fully private bathroom stalls.
That makes sense, but they didn’t have to make it SO high lol. I’m always afraid of flashing someone or someone just leaning down to peek if someone’s in it
@@chiomoriiit is not as high as the photo shows, you can’t see past your ankle in the public bathroom stalls.
@@marydavis5234 I have lived in America all my life, I’ve seen many bathrooms where the stalls are extremely high up. Some reaching just below the knees. Every bathroom can be different. But it’s also a fact that they leave cracks in the door, to the point you can really see inside if ppl tried.
There’s also the common occurrence of ppl sharing stories where kids actually crawled under the stall when a random stranger is in it lol. There’s videos as well of kids being able to do that.
I originally came from Germany where the metric system was used and in the 70's we moved to Canada, so I had to learn the imperial system. Although, while still in High School, we changed to the metric system in Canada. The only thing that to me still makes no sense at all is that lots of places still use pounds which only converts to 454 grams, so not at all metric, since the metric system only works in 10's, 100's & 1000's. So prices are given by the kilo or by the pound. The informal term metric pound is for half a kilogram and should be 500 grams and not 454 grams.
Solo cups now come in multi colored packs, so that we do not mix up who has what color. And we have clear ones too! 🤣🤣
We actually started to convert to the Metric system in the late 70s, but like a lot of things in the US, it got political, so it stopped. There are people in the US that are still militant about being anti-metric for again political reasons, so idiotic. It's just stupid, now instead of one set of tools, we have to buy both SAE and Metric, because both are used. I'm sure the tools manufacturers love it, so they can sell you more tools, but the consumer is screwed. So much for saving money by not converting. Metric is the easier system, it's idiotic that we still use imperial measurement, especially when the rest of the world uses it, except for the UK. Which is even MORE idiotic, because even though both are "imperial" and use the same name (like miles), the measurements are actually different. A car in the UK gets more miles per gallon than a US car, not because the car is any better, but the measurement is different.
There are gaps in public bathroom stalls & doors because many of the stalls are not custom-made, they are usually pre-fab door, wall and frame "systems" and if not measured or installed correctly then gaps are the result. They are very inexpensive compared to custom-made stalls, and faster and easier to install. Large gaps at the bottom and shorter height of doors and walls means less materials costs. Everyone hates the gaps (especially women) but there's nothing to be done about it.
I find it hilarious that they are talking so much about the red Dixie cups. Too funny... and just for the record we don't all use the red drink cups. I have several colors in my pantry, I don't like using them because of the recycling aspect of the cups. Also, if we do use them, we make sure to put out a black sharpie marker so you can put your name on your cup.
We hate the gaps in public restroom doors as well 😂
Tipping culture is annoying, and got more annoying after Covid. Now EVERYWHERE you go and pay with credit card it asks if you want to tip. The issue is that at most restaurants, the servers get paid much less than minimum wage, and rely on tips to make their money. I always tip in restaurants, and for services such as getting my nails done, my hair, valet parking, etc. If you don’t, people think you’re rude. I don’t tip, however, at places where I walk up to the counter to order and take my own food to my table and throw my own trash away.
the solo cups come in red and blue. more people pick red for parties because it looks more festive I guess.
hahaha, the first topic is my bane: I didnt start eating peanut butter until I was around 16, but I do not like eating it with jam. Eating them together seems weird to me. And yes. You need a lot of it and I love it. I asked for an entire jar of peanut butter for Christmas last year from my family. That's right kids. even in your 4th decade of life - stay weird. 🤣
Peanut butter pairs well with a lot of different foods. Peanut butter toast, PB&J , peanut butter sandwiches with chili, celery and peanut butter, chocolate and peanut butter, with pretzels... Crunchy, extra crunchy, creamy...honey roasted .I love them all. You get used to the gaps in the bathroom stalls. Most people here don't like them. Red solo cups are just an easy go to for parties, get togethers, barbeques, children's parties. I'd rather clean those up than styrofoam cups.. Small talk is a way of saying I'm not rude and it's better than awkward silence. Tipping is usually done to supplement those working in the service industry because of how poorly they are paid by their employer. The metric system is slowly becoming mainstream. Everything medical is done in metric.
i envy metric users. Having do add and subtract feet/inches is so hard all the time. Metric is easy, 10's
American here, there isn't a specific reason why the solo cups are red. But in America, red is known as a bold, statement making, power color. Red also elicits a chemical reaction in the brain to make you hungry or thirsty. That's why you see so many fast food restaurants using the color red as well as yellow(for the same reason). So that could have been the reason for the red as well. These days, kids use solo cups because you can't tell what's inside the cup because of the high opacity of the red. I assume there are similar strategies for college students getting away with alcohol using a colored water bottle instead of a clear one.
Red cup, cheap plastic for one time, may break if you squeeze, use. 😂 The flag has a song tied to it. Bathroom gaps for hinges (my guess) cause it's a cheaper design and ppl are likely to leave the stalls faster. Interesting topics. I've lived here all my life and well... your views and takes are hilarious and on point to some extent 😂
1:55 that is not a standard PB&J. I think maybe there banana in there too
Im from Germany and when you start talking to a random stranger (making small talk) on the street most people would look at you as if you’re an alien 😂
I am American but I am learning so much from this lmao
Lol I only greet strangers in Korea if I catch them clearly staring at me. 🤣
The only time we use the metric system is in science, track and field, and the medical field. ***SIDE NOTE *** I love Tim Hortons. Where I live at in the US, Tim Hortons is VERY popular and so is hockey (like Canada) and Football.
Some of the newer bathrooms don't have wide gaps anymore. lol
The gaps are definitely for emergencies and crime prevention. But it does not always work. I used to have a gas station (or petrol, however it is referred to) and there were multiple instances where myself or my employees would go to clean and would find needles in the diaper changing station, behind the toilet, under the seat. It was almost like a horrible game of spot what does not belong or something. 😅
It was around 1977 to 19 we in canada had to change all things from inches, feet , miles ect to cm. Meters and kilmeters. Just for informational purposes ihang my coat or sweater on the door where the gab in closer to the next stall and ONLY use the stall that is closest to the wall!
😂😂😂😂 at the bathroom you see a hand
Whoever said that Americans put peanut butter on everything is lying I have had peanut butter once. I hate it.
So there's two common things between America and India
1)Height Measurement ( Feet & inches). I am happy I don't have to worry about calculating cms.😅
2) Small Talks
I also think the whole small talk culture in the US is hilarious, cause if you'd ask someone "How are you?" in my country they'll definitely start telling you all about their personal life. We don't usually ask anything here without actually wanting to know the answer, so I was really struggling while I lived in the US...
LOL, yes New York is VERY expensive and so it California! Not everywhere is like that but it's starting too. UM Peanut butter, yah, too much is too much lol. It's dry without jelly lol!
I cant get my kid to eat peanut butter but he will eat ramen everyday if i let him 😂 and i always try to find the bathroom stall with the smallest gap! I hate it!
Meanwhile germany even making straws from degradeable material to cut down on plastic.
US: TRILLIONS OF RED plastic CUPS!!
I haven't eaten peanut butter in 15 years...
There are blue and yellow so cups as well. 😂
The solo cups comes in all colors but red is more popular
People don’t put peanut butter on hamburgers!! Noooooo gross 🤮
Some restaurants have a peanut sauce on hamburgers, but the restaurant are in the bigger cities in the US.
@@marydavis5234 I am from Dallas Texas and we don’t do that haha but I can imagine it could be a Vietnamese or Thai infusion place that does.

In West Virginia, it's very rude to interrupt an elderly person even if it means waiting 10 minutes for the conversation to end, so you can get help from a store clerk. We learned that the hard way. If a person with gray hair wants to talk, people listen or they get nasty looks from everyone.
Hello friends right You tube at moments before awesome cool I'll ideas thinking about insurance since seriously boys next door 😍 ice cream favor taste peanut butter food,
The red plastic cup is CHEAP, that's the only reason. It's cheap and easy to find any where. No deep meaning. And at this point so many people are used to seeing it they just gravitate towards it. As for the gap in the bathroom door - no, I don't like it and don't know anyone who does. It makes no sense. I just figured it's because of cost saving efforts they use less material. Everything boils back to money here. It's sad to say but it's true. Dig far enough and you'll find money is the reason.
People in the US love to talk to everyone
This made me go make a pbj sandwich at like 10pm lol
I fly my American flag every day and have for decades. For me it’s not about “This is America” or “This is still America” because of our immigrants, it’s in honor of all Americans who have died in combat around the world under that flag. Sure, I’m absolutely proud that I am American but that’s not why I fly my flag.
If you think pubic bathrooms are showing too much, you should see school bathrooms.
Is he a dog? pooping to mark his territory is hilarious 😂😂😂😂
헐 공파다
America here. I wanted to see what our crazy stuff was.
There is a video about the history of the Star spangled banner which is the United States national anthem is the video that covers why Americans are so patriotic why they value 9 or a natural anthem so much but the flag as well it's a very powerful video and you guys should react to it
I talk to everyone- I would have a hard time if I could not -
Its a red solo Cup a country sing has a song
Solo cups are not cheap I don't know where yall shopping at and they come in more than red and blue colors.
???? They don't have pb&j sandwiches in Korea??
pb&j sandwiches are really only an american food (and i guess canada due to the proximity). its not only korea that doesn't have it. /most/ countries don't eat them.
For small talk, it's usually a male that initiates it....sometimes they do it with other males, but it's mostly small talk with females.
PLEASE react to spider girl challenge plz that's my special request from Kentucky USA ❤❤❤
I am from Kentucky also. I live in Korea now.
1. No we don't put peanut butter on everything. We barely use it anymore except for peanut butter and jelly. Maybe in the 1980's but in 2024 nope.
2. Small talk is just being friendly, so they know you are not rude. Basically, to let them know you are aware of them, but I personally hate small talk but is very necessary in many situations.
3. Flags - nope don't see them everywhere just some places. Only house you see them on are usually retired military or someone with a member in the military.
4. Red solo cups, or party cups are for alcohol. The bottom line is for a shot of liquor (1 ounce/29ml), the middle line is a serving of wine (5 ounces/147 ml), and the top line is the right amount of beer (12 ounces/354ml). They are red just because that is how the company made them, no meaning.
5. Oddly we only use imperial system for very few things like measuring items, speed limits and some liquids (our sodas are in liter bottles). We don't even use miles for how far something is but instead tell you how long it will take to get there (store is 45 minutes away). We use metric for science, math, weather, medications/medical, all trade and commerce.
6. Bathroom stall doors are up so you can see if someone is on the floor in need of help, or see feet if someone is in there. HOWEVER, they are only suppose to be, per building code regulations, a 12 inches (30.4 cm) gap from ground.
🌎 Fascinating cultural differences, right? 🤔
Rural areas and the south are cheaper!
As far as why America doesn't use the metric system it's basically all about money it was too expensive to convert over to it and it was too expensive to educate everyone
the color is irrelevant. Cups come in all different colors for fun. it's that simple. Most of the time, all i see are clear cups actually
Just like him, I can't poop outside except in i have diarrhoea. I only poop at my place. Even at work, I can't, i ge5 constipated. I once visited my sister's place for the first time after she got married, i spent 4 days without sh*ting until i went back to my place.
Am sorry how is the left guy from Canada and the other is korean😭😭😭🤣
I swear the right guy does not look korean at all!!!
They are plastic drinking cups and they come in blue, yellow, green, when you have a gathering or party they buy them at the store. It all depends on what is available. All this stuff is goofy, and not true. I think you could've done better on picking out things in America... things are different in the south, north, east, west, mid west, etc. None of this is valid.

RED CUPS means the purchaser has a membership from Costco. They got those RED CUPS from Costco.
BIG RED PLASTIC CUPS means they buy from Costco.
