Spam actually helped save England in World War II. Because of the German U-boats sinking a large amount of cargo ships headed to England, British people were not receiving enough calories and were slowly starting to starve. The US started exporting large quantities of Spam to England. Because it had a long shelf life and lots of calories, enough of the canned meat got through to help England avoid hunger problems before the US entered the war.
It's enough protein to keep you physically healthy...It's also enough sodium to keep you questionably healthy and as long as you don't question what it is, you'll be mentally healthy as well. 🤣
Wait, since when does England rely on imported food in the modern era? I mean, I know they obviously do import some foods that they don't grow locally (bananas, oranges, olives, ...), but I thought they'd been self-sufficient overall since the widespread adoption of bird guano as fertilizer in the early nineteenth century.
@@Ira88881 ... Oh. I see. Over on this side of the pond, my grandfather was officially _exempt_ from military service because he drove a cattle truck (mostly, transporting beef cattle from Ashland County farms up to the meat market in Cleveland), which was an essential wartime industry. My other grandfather was also exempt, because he worked for Goodyear, making tires, which was also an essential wartime industry.
@@jonadabtheunsightly I can't speak for England but the the US produces ~1/3 of the world's cereal/grain crops and over half of the feed-grain for the world's domesticated livestock.
I liked Garfield as a kid, but Odie was my favorite (I have a stuffed Odie from the 1980s somewhere). My sister-in-law loves Garfield on a whole different level! I vaguely remember the Rascal book (I'm in St Louis County in Northeastern Minnesota, but my mom is from Central Wisconsin). I live in one of the 3 Northeastern counties in Minnesota that don't usually have raccoon population - but I did read that they have been moving north & even seen in Grand Marais on the North Shore of Lake Superior. Lots of wild animals have been moving farther north in the last few decades & some of our "normal" wildlife has moved farther north too.
@3DJapan Garfield, unfortunately, ended in 1994. I'd you are seeing it, it's old copies and cartoon re-runs. Everything slowly began to end in the late 80s and ending in the early 90s.
@@lorivandermotten4565 racoons were killed for their pelts in the US as well. It's engrained in our history - Davey Crockett wore a coon-skin hat. PETA & other animal protection groups have helped lessen the animal fur worn here, but the fur industry is still active - there's still breeders that make lots of money from animal pelts. I watch the TH-cam channel Save A Fox from my home state of Minnesota & the rescue was able to buy out & permanently shut down the largest US fox fur farm a few months ago & they are trying to find homes for 500+ foxes & are going to buy another property to house the ones they cannot rehome. I knew people who raised chinchillas for their pelts in the 1970s. My family had fur coats back in the day as Minnesota winters are generally quite harsh (the state's cold air temperature record holder is about 25 miles away from my house & it was -60°F). Leather coats & other products are still popular too. I don't know if there are any racoon fur farms still, but there was a time when fur & leather coats, hats, gloves, etc literally saved people from the cold & harsh elements.
SPAM is a Minnesota product - there's even a SPAM museum in Minnesota 😂 it's been around since the 1930s & was sent to soldiers in WWII & later wars - that's why it's popular around the world. SPAM is a shorter version of Spiced Ham. 1:22
When I lived in Korea, every year we got a packaged spam and olive oil gift box from my wife’s friend. I don’t like Spam but it’s fun to get the gift box anyway.
@@rukus9585 it's funny that Hawaii claims it when it's not actually from there. I assume it became popular over there because it has a long shelf life.
I used to have a 1968 Buick Special Deluxe and I loved that car! It was considered mid-sized back in the day but nowadays it would probably be classified as a land yacht, lol.
My first car was a beloved Buick 'muscle car'. Yes! Buick did have its own cool car in the 70s. I received a 10 year old 1976 Buick Skylark that could literally fly down the highway. A drunk driver totaled her when she was sitting quietly outside my home. My second Buick (2011 Regal) was also a favorite. She was also 10 years old when a dang tornado totaled her. Even if I could get a nice new Buick sedan here in the US - I'd be afraid of tragedy befalling another one :)
I'm 51 & in Northeastern Minnesota - my parents had Buicks pretty much my entire life & my mom had 2 in their garages still when she passed away in 2016 - her favorite was the Buick Park Avenue (they had a few of them over the years). I have had 2 Buicks myself since the late 1990s (Park Avenue & Skylark). My grandparents had Buicks when I was young, but my grandpa switched to Cadillacs in the late 1980s (my parents owned a couple of my grandparents Buicks after they switched cars too). I knew that some Buick models were discontinued in the US, but I didn't realize that they aren't really sold here anymore (it's been almost a decade since I traded in my Buick Park Avenue & was vehicle shopping). We've also had a variety of other vehicles - Ford F150s, Dodge Rams, Chevy Tahoe, Ford Bronco, Mercury Sable, Chevy Silverado, etc. I currently drive an old all wheel drive Chevy Equinox. Personally, I need an all wheel drive or 4 wheel drive vehicle just to get to my driveway in winter as I live on a steep hill (both the alley & front street are hills & my yard is tiered with 3 levels - street, alley & house/yard). I had lots of problems with both Buicks in my alley every winter & had to shovel the whole alley a few times just to get the Park Avenue up to the driveway - the all wheel drive & 4 wheel drive are much better on sloped ice & snow! I had to come down the hill with the Skylark & hope I didn't slide much when I turned into the tiered yard because it wouldn't get up the alley hill even after it was plowed. I drove my dad's Dodge Ram from the time I got my license at 16 to moving out at 22, so I don't like driving cars at all, especially in winter!
I'm of Korean ethnicity and the company my Dad worked for would only lease Buicks for him (in lieu of a decent salary) so that is all I knew of when I was younger. Back in the day, GM had more than 50% of the US car market, which was at the time the largest in the world. Their Divisions were GMC (trucks), Chevrolet (cheaper sedans for everybody), Pontiac (inexpensive sports sedans), Buick (low end "luxury"), Oldsmobile (mid tier "luxury") and Cadillac (true luxury). Asians will always pay more for what is considered "luxury" but there were very few rich ones back then so Buick was the car of choice. I haven't seen a Disney comic book since the 60's and most were Donald Duck although my favorite character was his skinflint uncle Scrooge McDuck. Other comic books you no longer see are Casper, Wendy, Richie Rich, Dot, and for the teenagers - Archie (and his gang - who are now featured in the Riverdale TV series which is a Crime Drama of all things). Never knew they still make them in Europe. I knew that KFC had more restaurants in China than the US and that SPAM was hugely popular in Asian countries (Korea especially) due to their high fat content. Chinese cuisine in the US is very oily but true Chinese food is actually very low in fat - the design of the Wok allows for low oil usage and fast cooking times. As are most East Asian foods (real cuisine, not what you see in US restaurants). But I always thought that the origin of SPAM was from scrapple, which are essentially pork shavings - I food I discovered when I was living in Pennsylvania. Apparently it is not and has a separate origin.
You are right in your GM divisions description except Olds and Buick were switched. Oldsmobile was lower tier than Buick. It was Chevy-Pontiac-Oldsmobile-Buick-Cadillac.
@@pacmanc8103 Given how cheap the Korean company my Dad worked for was, I always thought Buick was lower than Olds. The last leased car I remember was an Olds Delta 88 Royale and the only reason it was an Olds was that we went through 3 Buicks in 2 years that basically broke down in less than a year (LeSabre, Regal and Park Ave). So when Americans abandoned US made cars for Japanese made ones in the 70's, that was not surprising. The Skylark from the 60's worked pretty well though. It's a shame that it took so long for US car companies to emphasize quality (well, that and compacts) but by that time they had given up so much market share (I shudder when I think of those 80's K-cars). However I've only owned Fords in the past 12 years and the only reason I exchanged the previous one was due to the Takata airbags.
Don't know when his video was made - but BUICK has made a huge come back in the US and has some pretty awesome SUVS . . so I do think his numbers are a bit off as far as Buick Sales . . (by the way I've read the book and I enjoyed it)- and I have a can of SPAM w/bacon in my cupboard as we speak....my Dad was in WWII and he lived with me until he passed, but every once in awhile he would ask me to pick up SPAM for him as it was served a lot to the military - and he would get hungry for it - I would get it - fry it up for him and he would eat it and say - ya, I'm good for another year or so on that! LOL SPAM is a main dish in Hawaii!!
In the US it seems like you are issued a Buick , once you are old enough to start getting pension. They are everywhere on the 1st of the month on old folks check day .
I used to read quite a few comic books based on Disney characters as a kid in the US. I think they were published under the Gold Key and Whitman comics labels back then. I also read _Doctor Solar, Magnus: Robot Figher,_ and _Turok: Son of Stone_ under these labels.
I read 'Rascal' when I was a kid. I still have it on my bookshelf. It isn't even so much that he's a "bad" pet it's just that he's a wild animal and has certain instincts. But there are parts that are quite entertaining. I'd recommend it as a fast/enjoyable read.
The thing about comics is there are hundreds and hundreds of new ones each month but you mostly special order them in advance from a comic store. Only a few are very successful. They are mostly distributed by a single company (in the US). Well, that was the case until a few years ago. DC and Image left for one company, and Marvel, Dark Horse, and IDW left for another. When COVID-19 started, Diamond decided to stop printing and shipping comics to stores which (I’m guessing) screwed the stores and the publishers, so I’m guessing why they left Diamond. But I digress.
10:30 Apparently the "Donald Duck" newspaper comic was very popular in Mexico. Out of Mexico came an entire book devoted to analyzing that comic and its popularity: _Reirse a Pato Donald._ ("To Laugh at Donald Duck").
There are some old classic Buicks in the UK, owned by collectors.y brother saw an old 50s Buick Roadmaster in a Headon collision with a Range Rover in Britain in the 70s. The Range Rover was totalled. The Roadmaster had a busted headlight and small dent on the bumper and drove away afterwards. Those old Roadmasters were like tanks. lol
Spam is very popular in the Philippines. KFC is popular in Japan, it is what they eat for Christmas dinner sometimes. Christmas is popular in Japan in spite of the country being Shinto and Buddhist.
I actually saw a classic-Disney-characters comic book once, back when I was a kid, in the eighties. It was really old, though, and based on where I saw it, I'm guessing it probably belonged to one of my mom's older brothers when they were kids, and thus it was probably printed in the late forties or early fifties (an era when Disney was much more popular in general, than when I saw it in the early or mid eighties). At this point, they have a much easier time selling picture books and assorted other merch based on their more recent hits (Encanto, Frozen), which kids are actually interested in, or the ones from the nineties, which Millennials have nostalgia about. The people who have nostalgia about their classic characters (Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, etc.) are mostly in nursing homes (or similar institutions, e.g., Congress) at this point. And Gen-X don't care as much about the Disney movies from when we were kids. (Most of them flopped. Have you ever met anyone whose favorite Disney movie is The Rescuers, The Fox and the Hound, or the Great Mouse Detective? No, you haven't. And those were the *good* ones from that era.)
Ford actually owned Aston Martin at the time Fords were looking like them. Ford actually owned a few other brands like Land Rover and Jaguar. Now Tata owns Land Rover and Jaguar.
Colonel Harlan Sanders, founder of KFC, was born and grew up about 18 miles from me near Henryville, Indiana. He moved to somewhere around Bardstown, Kentucky when he started his first restaurant. He was an old man when I was a little boy and we lived just south of Louisville, KY. I met him at our local KFC back then. Friendly man...he asked if I liked his restaurant and kids will be bluntly honest and I said, I love the food, but I hate that I have to spend a dime to go pee. (KFCs had pay toilets back then). I don't know if it had anything to do with me, but soon the toilets were free like at any other restaurant in town, lol.
I can no longer eat spam. Long time ago when I was in college, I literally had to live off of spam. It was all I could afford. I could prepare it more ways than Bubba could make shrimp in Forrest Gump. I've never been able to eat it again
The guy in the video doesn't realize that the first European nation Harland Sanders branched out to with KFC was England. By 1963 there were KFC restaurants in Manchester and London
The commentator sounds young enough to not know that Disney comics were very much in vogue when I was young, many, many moons ago. My favorites were Huey, Dewey and Louie. Loved going to the bargain Comic Book store and buying used comic books with my little bit of money. It always funny how these TH-camrs think themselves historians. Some do a good job but others think that U.S. history goes back only to what they remember. But at least it’s a little history. Like I know some British history because of War World II, which my Father was a part of and was in England, France and Germany. Also, because my husband is a World War II history buff. Therefore, I know about spam and that it’s still eaten here. Why, I don’t know. Interesting video.
Spam is made in Austin Minnesota At the hormel company I had an aunt That worked at hormel. I have relatives that live in Austin I am originally from an area about 30 !miles from Austin
In the year 2000 I need a medium large car as my children, who were tall, were coming home to visit with tall girlfriends. I got a new Buick and I hated it. The airbags warning lights kept turning on and the dealership couldn't do anything about it. I traded that car at a loss ASAP and never wanted a Buick again.
Millie is the mom and Charlie is the baby but after watching like 20 of these videos I still don't know what the dad's name is? I tried googling them but that didn't work. I looked all over their home page and no personal information. I know Millie is a teacher and the dad works in some kind of construction and they live in a place called Jersey. It would be cool if they did a video of their city, maybe show Millie's school and what they like to do there even show their favorite restaurants. The grandma, I don't know her name or who's mother she is. I feel sorry for her not ever getting to eat hot food when they go on trips. lol She does seem really nice.
It sounds like Buick is to Chinese bigwigs as SAAB was to architects. Like it was a stereotype that was kind of proven correct for whatever reason back in the day, but back when SAAB was making cars it seemed like their number one customer demographic was architects. So you could point out if an architect was in a shopping mall or at the bank with about a 95% accuracy simply if there was a SAAB sedan in the parking lot or not. I guess it's the same for Buick in China. If there's a Buick parked in the....."whatever communists use instead of money" area, that must be either the mayor or business owner (which goes against communism as well, but hey they can keep talking all they want.)

You guys did a video in which you received a card. James turned it over and said “It’s a Hallmark card. That’s our company, it has our logo on the back.” Wrong !!

I actually saw a classic-Disney-characters comic book once, back when I was a kid, in the eighties. It was really old, though, and based on where I saw it, I'm guessing it probably belonged to one of my mom's older brothers when they were kids, and thus it was probably printed in the late forties or early fifties (an era when Disney was much more popular in general, than when I saw it in the early or mid eighties). At this point, they have a much easier time selling picture books and assorted other merch based on their more recent hits (Encanto, Frozen), which kids are actually interested in, or the ones from the nineties, which Millennials have nostalgia about. The people who have nostalgia about their classic characters (Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, etc.) are mostly in nursing homes (or similar institutions, e.g., Congress) at this point. And Gen-X don't care as much about the Disney movies from when we were kids. (Most of them flopped. Have you ever met anyone whose favorite Disney movie is The Rescuers, The Fox and the Hound, or the Great Mouse Detective? No, you haven't. And those were the *good* ones from that era.)
Ford actually owned Aston Martin at the time Fords were looking like them. Ford actually owned a few other brands like Land Rover and Jaguar. Now Tata owns Land Rover and Jaguar.
Colonel Harlan Sanders, founder of KFC, was born and grew up about 18 miles from me near Henryville, Indiana. He moved to somewhere around Bardstown, Kentucky when he started his first restaurant. He was an old man when I was a little boy and we lived just south of Louisville, KY. I met him at our local KFC back then. Friendly man...he asked if I liked his restaurant and kids will be bluntly honest and I said, I love the food, but I hate that I have to spend a dime to go pee. (KFCs had pay toilets back then). I don't know if it had anything to do with me, but soon the toilets were free like at any other restaurant in town, lol.
My mother brought a Buick when I was 6; I drove that car to school when I was 17. There was a time when Buicks were better.
They're still good. Very underrated IMO
I've lived two hours from Disney World my whole life and I've literally never heard of Disney Comics 😂
Disney can't sell comic books here because we have so, so many other great comic books.
Okay well that was interesting. Don't worry James I click that like button for you buddy and we will see you guys next time. Peace
I have not heard of Rascal but the anime vein looks kind of familiar. I could tell you all about tanuki though.
I can no longer eat spam. Long time ago when I was in college, I literally had to live off of spam. It was all I could afford. I could prepare it more ways than Bubba could make shrimp in Forrest Gump. I've never been able to eat it again
He's wrong about chess pie. It's awesome.
I understand computers are fairly popular outside the US. 😉
The guy in the video doesn't realize that the first European nation Harland Sanders branched out to with KFC was England. By 1963 there were KFC restaurants in Manchester and London
The commentator sounds young enough to not know that Disney comics were very much in vogue when I was young, many, many moons ago. My favorites were Huey, Dewey and Louie. Loved going to the bargain Comic Book store and buying used comic books with my little bit of money. It always funny how these TH-camrs think themselves historians. Some do a good job but others think that U.S. history goes back only to what they remember. But at least it’s a little history. Like I know some British history because of War World II, which my Father was a part of and was in England, France and Germany. Also, because my husband is a World War II history buff. Therefore, I know about spam and that it’s still eaten here. Why, I don’t know. Interesting video.
I read Rascal! Lol!
You must have never listened to Buick Makane by T Rex. Buicks are good cars.
Spam is made in Austin Minnesota At the hormel company I had an aunt That worked at hormel. I have relatives that live in Austin I am originally from an area about 30 !miles from Austin
In the year 2000 I need a medium large car as my children, who were tall, were coming home to visit with tall girlfriends. I got a new Buick and I hated it. The airbags warning lights kept turning on and the dealership couldn't do anything about it. I traded that car at a loss ASAP and never wanted a Buick again.
I had a Buick station wagon. I had so many problems with it, my son called it the "Ick". I didn't have it long.
Buick used to be huge in the US, but they got less popular in recent years for some reason
thats bc GM quality went down the tubes
12:20 I really like chess pie; it's not "low tier" to me!
Im American and never heard of this Rascal stuff. I think I was too stoned for this video. Didn't get a thing from it lol.
Australia also mice,rats
03:40 That makes no sense, as emus are native to Australia. Not so for rabbits and cane toads, of course.
Oh man I could go for some Nandos
Millie is the mom and Charlie is the baby but after watching like 20 of these videos I still don't know what the dad's name is? I tried googling them but that didn't work. I looked all over their home page and no personal information. I know Millie is a teacher and the dad works in some kind of construction and they live in a place called Jersey. It would be cool if they did a video of their city, maybe show Millie's school and what they like to do there even show their favorite restaurants. The grandma, I don't know her name or who's mother she is. I feel sorry for her not ever getting to eat hot food when they go on trips. lol She does seem really nice.
Given the options you gave, it's Burger King for me. It has a *far* superior burger here in Florida...
I like them the best too.
I would like to your. Reaction. To. The. Navajo. code. Talkers. Of WWII
im a 54 y/o American and I NEVER heard of "rascal"....never had to read it in school etc...
It sounds like Buick is to Chinese bigwigs as SAAB was to architects. Like it was a stereotype that was kind of proven correct for whatever reason back in the day, but back when SAAB was making cars it seemed like their number one customer demographic was architects. So you could point out if an architect was in a shopping mall or at the bank with about a 95% accuracy simply if there was a SAAB sedan in the parking lot or not. I guess it's the same for Buick in China. If there's a Buick parked in the....."whatever communists use instead of money" area, that must be either the mayor or business owner (which goes against communism as well, but hey they can keep talking all they want.)
Did you just compare Spam to bacon? Whoa.
Bacon grill :D it’s basically spam. Not actual bacon :D
What are you thinking about the Police and the cordoned off piano? via Brendan Kavanagh

Hey, could you finish the Geography Now video that you didn't finish and watch it with your wife, plz we only got the 1st part, about America, the 1 hour long, or start it over with your wife
Read the book, haven't seen the anime.
Chines politicians were supposed to start driving local cars. But none want to give up their BMWs.
He lost my respect at calling chocolate pie low tier.
I have not seen a Disney comicbook in decades!
Wish the American uoutuber hadn't used the most offensive word in the English language to describe comic-books.
Hi
I was told that the McDonalds in Hawaii has spa. Sandwiches on their breakfast menu hawians love Spam, they have a lot of good pressure problems.

Chess pie isn't pecan pie without the pecans. The dude who made this video must be from... up north.
Ah…chess pie is not from the South at all. It was brought from England to New England and later to Virginia.😂
You guys did a video in which you received a card. James turned it over and said “It’s a Hallmark card. That’s our company, it has our logo on the back.” Wrong !! Hallmark was started in Kansas City Missouri in 1912. The logo was designed in NYC in 1946. It’s the Hallmark Gold Crown. Has NOTHING to do with your royal family ! BTW, you’re not the only country with a royal family.
What a weird post.
spam is nasty
