hi we're john and leah and this  video is about highly american  

things that americans didn't realize  were american until they went abroad

and it's not popcorn i'm not like hinting  at like it's not a problem this wasn't a  

prop we're just eating fun and this is this  isn't um this is one of our favorite popcorns  

yes we get into the theme of america whilst we  uh do this video yes and this isn't a spawn we're  

just genuinely our favorite popcorn no no wish  it was mm-hmm okay so first one i'll kick it off  

having ketchup with every meal free ketchup  with your meal ketchup's just a thing  

that isn't necessarily like the done thing  everywhere no some places you have to pay extra  

for sachets or you'd call it packets of ketchup  and sauces and if you don't have to pay for it you  

most certainly have to at least ask for it so in  mcdonald's in the uk if you want sauces you have  

to ask for it and they hold it behind the counter  and they give it to you i believe in america they  

just let you squirt it into a tub or like you  can just have whatever you want sauces are like  

like yeah if i was an american i would have  a whole fridge just for condiments and sauces  

because i would be able to collect  so many sauces everywhere i go  

and you know what americans found it hilarious  that we call them sachets sachet yeah

but this is a packet of popcorn yeah i mean this  is a packet i got kind of a couple of sachets of  

ketchup please yeah what is it i don't even  know but they were like oh my gosh you're so  

sashay i'm like it's a saturday sachet away  even if you ask for something kind of like  

you know not posh inside your sachet you're like  can i get a sachet of brown sauce or salad cream  

satay of salad cream yeah okay the next one on the  topic of dressings is that ranch is the default  

dressing like ranch or ranch it bothers it's like  the iconic dressing i and i just think it's dead i  

don't think it's that good i don't understand the  ranch height if it if like for example a salad or  

something comes with ranch we always ask for it  on the side because they just drench it and it's  

just too much like i think ranch is like this tier  i put sour cream higher than it i even put chive  

sauce higher than rice yeah we're just not don't  do it for me and it hasn't made its way to the  

uk so in the last i'd say year and a half buffalo  sauce it's starting to be stocked in supermarkets  

which i'm so excited by because i have buffalo  all the time yeah but that's only fairly recent  

ranch is still not readily available in the uk  this has basically become a sauces video this  

is all about soil sources although our sauciest  video oh my gosh i don't understand what with  

the video was oh it's basically the funny things  that americans don't realize are super american  

catch up with everything sources with everything  that are just included the fact that red cups are  

so synonymous with america to the rest of the  world so much so when we first went to america  

we were like oh my god red carpets because we  don't get them in the uk they're so american  

they could like we saw them in the supermarket  or even just out and about and we were like oh  

my god i've got iphone pictures of red cups yeah  literally it's like we'll use them as when i first  

went to america i bought a whole pack of red cups  never opened them or used them but people now do  

that for american themed parties in the uk where  it's like a thing to have red cups but americans  

didn't don't realize that they're a thing they're  just like they're literally cups like do you guys  

not realize that in films they always see like  a big pool house party and it's always those red  

carpets always so like joel buying them cups for  the party he never had yeah because i don't have  

parties it's like they one day they'll be used  for a you know a party it's in songs like one of  

miley's songs she says red cups and sweaty bodies  everywhere red cups and sweaty bodies everywhere  

hands in the air like we don't care so it's like  in culture that we consume so red cups is amazing  

yeah absolutely amazing yeah did you know this  because you're quite you love showers i'm very  

picky about my water pressure when it comes  to showers apparently an american thing is  

strong water pressure have you noticed it's  particularly strong i actually think that from  

the airbnb's we've stayed at the last couple  of times the showers have been extremely weak  

i've been extremely disappointed with the power  of the shower yeah and i felt like this is not  

getting the soap out of my hair i'm gonna have to  stay under here for a long time the fact that they  

are saying in this article that  they have the strong water pressure  

disagree but obviously you guys know better than  me yeah i haven't noticed it to be fair either way  

i'm just like showers a shower really yeah it says  here like when abroad showers feel like a watering  

can like a flower watering pot yeah that week is  there much worse than a really weak shower awful  

yeah that's the point but it says here in america  it's like the pressure is strong enough to tear my  

skin off oh okay no i didn't notice that no i've  never had that i've never had that much pressure  

maybe we're staying the wrong places yeah oh this  is good i still don't understand this okay garbage  

disposals are so american go on you won't even  this is going to blow your tiny little mind right  

so when i moved to the uk you're signing your  tiny lady when i moved to the uk my flatmates  

asked why in movies people would stick their hand  in a sink drain and have it ripped apart i told  

them about garbage disposals and they were very  weirded out so basically my parents have this  

but i don't think we have u6 we're so not used to  in the uk garbage disposal you chuck food waste  

into the so instead of putting it in bin you put  it into the sink i've seen a sink grinds up and  

throws it away where does it go  then sewage no but we never use it  

because it seems so wrong for a brick to put food  leftovers in a sink that we just put it in the bin

so they just basically put  anything so you're telling me  

they've got it so good they don't have to hover  over the bins scraping plates they're just by  

the sink so they've got what two sinks almost  so they just go garbage disposal into the water  

garbage disposal into the water i am so jealous  that is amazing yeah why are we not doing it here  

why don't we have make it make sense it's  because they use too much energy i've asked my  

grandparents what's my absolutely i was like why  are we not having top loaders she's like they use  

too much water especially in this energy crisis  energy crisis she was like we don't have enough  

stuff to put in them they do yeah having a house  of like 20 million people yeah wow the next one  

is strict rules around drinking america has very  strict rules around yeah so if they were abroad  

they're not in america they must think that  like they could get away with anything which is  

probably why they think brits are so boozy oh  they think we're busy this person said when i  

studied in the uk the lack of public drinking laws  was a bit of a culture shock being able to walk  

outside with a bottle of beer was very freeing  so they must be not allowed to drink unless on a  

private premises then in america right the only  thing we've got similar in london is you can't  

drink on public transport yeah but you can drink  outside you can walk through a park with alcohol  

you can walk down the street drinking alcohol you  can drink wherever you want makes it sound like we  

literally like just roll out the beer tavern  but drinking just because you can doesn't mean  

you should yeah nothing is great neither right  nor wrong but you can make it exactly i mean i'm

but yeah america's just got some weird rules  around drinking got to be over 21. it's got to  

be in the trunk of your car it's got to be in a  brown paper bag we only sell it in liquor stores  

not in supermarkets yeah you can't drink on the  street like so you're trying to tell me that like  

if your kids are not getting sleep don't just give  them a bit of alcohol yeah don't you just give  

them a shot of whiskey or something just give them  a little bit of brandy on their tongue and just  

see them nod off it's very hard strange because in  the uk as we've said before but we'll say it again  

in case you're here yeah in the uk you can drink  from any age if you're under adult supervision  

yeah and in the family home you can do that yeah  so we've had alcohol as kids yeah not strong  

alcohol i should add i would have paniche what's  that so basically beer and lemonade oh i just  

call that a shandy shandy punishment i think it  was called panache in france because we'd always  

have by the paniche bottles in france but they  were like a small percentage of alcohol but still  

we were used to having alcohol from a younger age  because you can exactly because that's unthinkable  

to americans really oh just give them a little  drink send them off to sleep not gonna harm them  

no they love it they love it she knows she raided  the booze cabinet when she was younger oh yeah i  

got caught drinking oh i was going like this with  the sambuca like that and putting it on my tongue  

delicious me and my cousin got caught and we got  caught with um those alco pops that aren't even  

what are they called wkds wkds the  blue ones i was like let's just go  

to the shed do you guys have sheds i was  like let's go to the shed and drink it

yeah good times no we won't we didn't go overboard  but no you know right the next one americans are  

really good at constant air conditioning oh  i know and it does not for me is it i get too  

cold we could be in a hot place and then we  go into an olive what's it called olive garden  

and i'm wrapping myself up with napkins yeah  i'm like covering my arms because i'm so cold  

that's the confusing thing you're in a  hot climate and you're hot but you need  

and it's boiling it's like so hot like 90 degrees  but you must remember to take a jacket with you  

if you're eating out or growing indoors if you go  in you need to be prepared to be freezing so your  

legs and your feet and your toes you're gonna get  cold i don't need to tell you guys that and this  

is the thing when we complain about it being hot  in the uk and we get responses on the instagram  

going that's not even that hot it's like it is  when you don't have ac in your house it really  

is it is when you don't have acne yeah when you  don't have eight are you gonna get ac this year  

no i did look into it i might do but you've got a  fan that i'll have to do but i i will i'll regret  

it when i'm in bed sweating the tits off i'll  be like i wish i had it but it's just like we  

just don't have it here it's not a thing i don't  think i know anyone with ac yeah it's worth it  

but like no i've not really been to anyone's  forever home and seen ac in there no because  

it's just not well we only have two hot weeks a  year yeah so they just deal with it yeah anyway is
