In my experience we don’t usually call things European except cars. We tend to be more specific in what country is responsible for it. French bread, Polish sausage, English tea, Irish potatoes, etc.
I think other countries also need to take into consideration that Americans have to drive usually to the grocery store - we stock up so we are not going every day to every other day-hence why we have larger refrigerators-
Other than maybe using the term, "European Cars" I can't really think of anything else we would specifically call European. Typically we would call it by the country it is associated with. We also use the terms coffin and casket interchangeably. I honestly did not even realize there was a difference, but rather just two words that we used for the same thing like we do for many objects in the US.
It’s funny that people that make videos about cultural differences still accuse Americans of being “fake” with smiling and saying “how are you” as a greeting. It’s just a different context, and honestly it makes those places (mostly Eastern Europe) sound absolutely miserable.
Doesn’t everybody have good days and bad days? I think this guy seems a bit jealous of America/Americans. America does like a lot of things that are European, whether it be vehicles or food. I had been using coffin and casket interchangeably. I learned something new today, regarding the difference between the two. We don’t call our bread - American bread. I’ve seen many breads baked in Europe to be even larger in size to the packaged bread that you find in the US. While in Italy, we made a few trips to their Euromercado. It was bigger than some of our Walmarts. The football does occasionally get kicked. Yea, some of those refrigerator/freezers are huge. I thought our side by side was big (right side is all refrigerator and left side is all freezer), until my last visit to Costco!
Everywhere in the world, there are people whose smiles are fake. And it doesn't matter where you are -- if you look in their eyes, you can tell. Sociopaths are the real fake smilers, and so fake smiles should be called "sociopathic smiles".
I’m guessing that yellow bread you had was probably either potato bread or possibly a thing we call Hawaiian bread, which is quite sweet. I don’t usually refer to things as broadly “European,” but I’m very devoted to real Irish butter.
Facts. Besides people use braces to have perfect or aligned teeth. Even though veneers are popular, the majority of people have good teeth that are not veneered.
A fake smile is called a “crocodile smile” in theUS. The sweet bread is probably Hawaiian bread. They use pineapple juice instead of water to make the batter.
We don't have food or furniture here labeled "American." That's odd. Food is labl3d based on culture, like sushi is Japanese. Etc. Beds are labeled by size. At the same time, we are trying to bring more manufacturing back to the US. That's a whole different conversation.
The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about something European as being better quality is chocolate. We love European chocolate. We generally don't refer to it as "European" though, and call it by its country of origin. Swiss chocolate, Belgian chocolate, German chocolate, etc. You do sometimes see "European style" chocolate, especially at small candy shops. We don't call Cadbury chocolate English chocolate, we just call it by its brand name.
As an American, we should all know, that Europeans, specially the French and Italians, make the best pastries and cakes. Western Europeans by far make the best chocolates and sweets in the world, in general! We have to accept, as Americans, that Western Europeans make excellent things, in general! I'll rather have a German or English car than most American cars! Now, the French don't make good cars!! lol!!

I grew up in Pennsylvania and went to school in Virginia. But my first job out of college was in Florida. The cock roaches down there are called palmetto bugs, and they can fly! The first time I saw one it was scary, because it looked like it was big enough to beat me up in a fair fight. In my humble opinion, no insect should ever get that big.
Yeah I have been to FL many times. First time I ran into one of those palmetto bugs was at an outdoor bar on a beach. I had to use the restroom and that thing was blocking the door. I told my boyfriend (at the time) that I would just have to hold it. He couldn't believe I was such a chicken that I would make myself suffer. I told him what you said. It could make short work of me.
Here in the US, labeling something as European tends to have a connotation of elegance or class (or sometimes fine craftsmanship), but it’s also usually implied to be referring to Western Continental Europe (“continental” is also sometimes used here to similar effect). Describing something as Eastern European here, however, still tends to elicit images of things being second-rate, ugly or shoddily made, even decades after the fall of the Iron Curtain.
That yellow bread you had might have been a variety of brioche, or possibly Hawaiian bread - both of those are notably sweet. It could also have been a potato bread, but I wouldn't call it sweet. Not exactly the same as calling something "European", but the "continental" breakfast offered for free by many hotels is a reference to the idea that breakfasts in continental Europe are light and mostly composed of fruit, toast or pastry like croissants, and coffee.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing this. However, assuming that all Americans have the same things is ridiculous. 😮 Example: Many people only have smaller ones with a small freezer on top and the bottom is the fridge. Wealth does not always mean we all own the biggest or best products. I'm 57, born n raised in Oklahoma. We don't all speak like hicks. We don't always say either coffin or casket but both are used depending on the circumstances. I don't assume that because of where you live, everyone in your country thinks, speaks or owns the exact same things. Please keep in mind that it's Not true that "Everyone does ____ in a country" Thank God for Individuals 💞🤔🙄😜💞
Some of those huge refrigerator/freezers are expensive, beyond what my spouse would consider purchasing and he’s the major food consumer. Secondly, the one we have barely fit in the space, so there’s no way we can go bigger yet. I’m satisfied with what we currently have. It’s nice to look at the big new ones though.
Yep - America was founded on individual freedom - hence, individual ideas and expressions. I am born and raised here and I love America for it's diversity in culture, in language and in colloquialisms. That's what makes America great. Freedom of thought, speech, expression ... it's what makes people want to come and live here. In my humble opinion.
I love how 99% of "This is American... ", "How Americans... ", "Why Americans... ", etc., etc. videos are made by people who aren't American. This guy is from the Czech Republic but mostly they seem to be British or Australian (I saw one from a Canadian yesterday). As if that weren't odd enough the information in the vast majority of these videos is incorrect. I guess they can be entertaining but they probably also add to the overall assumptions and opinions that people around the world make. As a European that has lived in the U.S. for years now I find most of these stereotypes as ridiculous as the idea that Brits all have bad teeth, French people smell bad, Russians are all villains and Asians are all bad drivers. If one of these videos isn't (at least) hosted by an American I wouldn't bother watching it. Cheers, Kabir.
Well, to be honest, most Brits do have bad teeth and most French put a lot of cologne and or perfume, cause they don't like taking a bath or shower often! 😂😅
In terms of the teeth, I don't know many people around me(NY) with good teeth. But I was born with super straight teeth and everyone compliments them. Only issues being I used to grind my teeth so my canines are flat from me grating them on each other, and the center teeth are a bit ragged at the ends with microchips. But when I smile with my teeth it is perfectly flat and straight. Sugar, starches, chocolate, coffee, tea, and grains do make my teeth yellow to orange though, so when I eat them I need to make sure I really brush my teeth or else they can get really weak, yellow, and thin. Or just not eat them.
Depending on the composition of the earth that a person is buried in, their remains may take thousands of years to decompose. During the Bronze Age, people were buried in stone-lined graves and their skeletal remains are still being discovered all over the UK. American caskets, or coffins, are built to be watertight and to last forever. After the funeral, it is lowered into a concrete vault and buried.
Quiz time: How about shopping carts, parking meters, yield signs... do you think those are American inventions?? It's common in America is to also have a fridge in the garage (for drink's & extra fridge & freezer space)
I learned on a trip to New Orleans the bodies are buried above ground because of the water levels. According to the guide the vault is opened up a year and one day to remove the remains which usually turn into ash because of the heat and the humidity. The remains are put into a bag or some sort of container and put back into the vault with many other people.
Re: caskets... Efficient decomposition isn't the goal with most American burials. Between an enameled metal casket inside a burial vault, and good embalming, there is VERY slow decomposition.
From what I’m told most caskets in the USA are usually made of solid wood or some sort metal. You’re probably talking about potato bread. It’s a bit funny you mentioned roaches. When I arrived in the USA I encountered some small roaches which I was told were called German roaches. Being from the Caribbean I was accustomed to the large roaches you encountered in Florida which, I think are more common in tropical countries.
Typically Americans don’t call yellow bread anything other than “bread”. However, some people refer to yellow bread as “egg bread”. Similar to yellow pasta being referred to as “egg noodles“. However, I have been to several Jewish delis that serve a yellow bread called challah. And p.s.…it’s effin DELICIOUS! 🤤🍞
The English tailored suit from Savile Row, Italian and French fashion and perfume are still status symbols in the US. French wine, and European cars are luxury cars.
It seems to me that both countries are doing the exact same thing. Praying on the weak minded and ignorant. Because if you say that a product is derived from a different country, it might feel as though it’s more exotic in some way.
I can tell you, coming from Cuba (now in the US), that the matches in the Chech Republic back in the day were horrible, they were made in the Soviet Union it took 3 or 4 to find 1 that stayed lit. So I definently agree.
I’m not sure if it’s common, but the casket is actually set into a cement, for lack of a better word, box. Orbit may have just been the funeral I was at. Plus, most people are embalmed before burial, which, if I’m not mistaken, actually slows down the decomposition. Things that are European, we generally think of as classy/fancy and we think luxury and elegance. At least, my generation did, teen in the 80’s. Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan and the big bad USSR all shivering in our boots over the Cold War. Tongue firmly in cheek.
American football was NOT invented in Canada. This is a bit of nationalistic misinformation Canadians tell themselves. The fact is American football derived from British rugby, which was transported to elite schools in both the US and Canada during the 19th century (because they wanted the prestige of a game played by the prestigious Rugby School). Over the course of several decades the game evolved in both the US and Canada. Innovations from one school would be copied by others, among them both American and Canadian schools(the American schools outnumbered the Canadian due to population). Various locations claim to have played what North Americans call football first. It comes down to when you want to say a certain set of rules equals American football. The fact that to this day Canadian football has a different field and certain different rules indicates that the claim American football was invented in Canada ignores the parallel and interconnected development of the game in both the US and Canada.
My husband is obsessed with Italian dirt bikes. That’s the only thing I can think of that our household goes out of the way to buy something European. I’m sure there are people that have more things like that but personally I don’t really buy things based on where they are from for the most part unless it’s food related. I do love to go to the German market and the Asian markets and get some imported goodies for sure. Mostly we try to buy from local small businesses when we can and when we can’t we just buy based on price vs quality rating and don’t focus much on where it came from. It’s just not hugely important to us.
Neither coffins nor caskets decompose unless you find one of the rare green cemeteries to be buried in. By law, they go into a cement vault in the ground and stay there forever. This is to make sure the embalming chemicals don't leech into the ground. Green cemeteries allow a person to be buried in a plain casket or even just a shroud and everything decomposes and adds nutrients to the soil. This type of cemetery is rare. My state only has one. Some are a separate section in a standard cemetery.
The “American casket” as he calls it, is to preserve the body as long as possible. That’s why many who are in an open casket at the viewing are embalmed. Though you can choose if you are so inclined, to be buried in a pine container or no container at all, that will disintegrate into the earth. Then, he talks about potatoes, I think a European’s head would explode if they hear about funeral potatoes. 😂 And what are you talking about?! You have an awesome smile. But, news anchors and actors have to remain “pretty people” with veneers or teeth whitening and plastic surgery procedures.
My ex-husband died last month and was viewed in a white pine box prior to cremation. An actual CASKET is buried inside a concrete vault in the ground. Between that, the seals in the casket and all that embalming fluid, the body will preserve----for awhile. But the soil becomes highly toxic. I'm stickin' with cremation then, mate. Less expense, less space, less fuss.
@@8cladgamer210 It is a mashed potatoes dish with breadcrumbs and cheese on top and browned in the oven and served at funerals or other gatherings that are called potluck in which everyone brings a dish.
@@8cladgamer210 Back in the day, viewings were at the deceased family’s house. So friends and family would bring a dish to help feed the gathering. Funeral potatoes were easy to prepare, filling and tasty. Made from shredded potatoes, cream, onion and cheese with toasted breadcrumbs on top and baked. Kind of like an au gratin in a casserole dish.
Caskets are made of a hardwood and when the funeral is over the person is placed into a vault made of concrete lined with metal in-between the layers with a concrete lid that has all your information on it The .plot in the ground is dug prior to the funeral and lined with drapes to help the family get through that. Like everyone else these days in the states . The person is also embalmed these days so as not to bury people alive anymore. Yes it takes a long time for the body to break down but the mortician removes a lot of things to help itl Oh yeah, those roaches aren't normal roaches. They are tree roaches and they do bite. I hate them!
Where did he hear American football was invented in Canada? Naismith was a Canadian he did invent basketball. While teaching in the US. The fridge I think maybe because combined big freezers weren’t a thing in Europe for many years. Also they have ice and water. And of course Euros don’t use ice cubes as much .
@@theguywhoasked5591 he's still a canadian and counts as a canadian when people talk about it :) like ryan reynolds is still canadian regardless where he lives and how long :P
@@ChrissaTodd He literally left Canada and gained US citizenship and never returned. He also invented the game in the US. Stop pretending like Canada has equal claim to the origins of basketball because they don’t.
If people in other countries call things “American “ then that’s on them! Lol We don’t call those things “American”. Second video I’ve seen of his and he annoys the crap outta me. 😂
Same, always seems like he's being overly critical of Americans but "trying" to be subtle. Not to mention his info seems like it's second hand or based on TV stereotypes of the US instead of the actual culture. Europeans seem to not realize sometimes that there are wide variations across the US, even within just one state.
Yes!!! But my mom pretty much told me Europe has more culture because it has older history. So, everything he mentioned (European butter, bread, cars, etc ) were, in my family, considered higher quality. With cars, we often referred to "German Engineering," or "British" or "Italian" car design. I now own a Toyota, but I owned 3 classic Volkswagens. They are easy to work on, maintain, and are so easily recognizable. They're practical and humble.🤣 Plus, I had rock bands and had to haul 3 guitars, a huge amplifier, a mandolin, mic and stand and a baseball bat bag full of guitar stands and cords. What better vehicle to drive than a '71 VW Bus? My sister drove a VW Karmen Ghia. My brother drove a '62 Bug until he went British and bought an MG Midget. My dad once owned a Jaguar Limo. Somewhere in the 80s, everyone went Japanese. I held out until the bitter end and finally gave in around 2008. European restaurants are considered better quality. Except for steak, it's got to be Argentinian. But European Bakeries are a favorite. Scandinavian or Belgian chocolates are revered. British tea, German or Italian opera, British punk, French wine, Italian suits and shoes, ... yeah, I could go on. I was born in Germany and my mother loved Europe so there will likely be a bias. I asked her where the most beautiful place on Earth was. She said it was the Spanish coast. I asked her where the most delicious food was. She said upper class German. That surprised me. I thought she'd say French or Italian cuisine. Her favorite films were Ingmar Bergman. Her favorite books were Russian novels (Eastern Europe). Poor mom. My favorite bands, pre-Grunge, were The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, so I really loved the British classic rock. When Grunge hit though, I was under the spell of Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, and the Melvin's. As an artist, my biggest inspirations were Michaelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, and classical Greek and Roman art. I went through an ancient Egyptian phase too, briefly, but mostly, it was Europeans. Novels? All Americans, but I did sneak my mom's Russian novels. She felt that Tolstoy and Dostoevsky were too adult. I begged to differ. Europe rocks to me. I have a rolling travel bag that I take to work that is covered in a beat up, Grunge version of the Union Jack and used to own a pair of Doc Martens knockoffs (which I referred to as Doc offs) with the Union Jack across the toes. Danny Boyle movies (Scottish), British and Scandinavian mysteries are the best. Jeez! Can someone turn me off? 🤣
Why do Europeans think that ALL American have these items or even eat them. I think that yellowish sweet bread was probably Pan Dulce but I've never had it as sliced bread. That was a Palmetto bug you saw which is a species of large cockroaches. We already have handball (NYC version).
Coffins are usually made of cheaper, thinner woods, so they decompose faster, within about 10-20 years. Caskets are usually treated woods that are designed to handle the pressure of the soil and lessen the affect of weather that causes wet soils and soil shifting. Caskets generally decompose within 30-50 years on average, some even longer but it really depends on the soil they are buried in and how wet it is and how much it shifts. Plus, coffins tend to be more of like an old west or halloween theme in the United States today. Caskets are pillowed, cushioned, and lined with fine linens as a way to send our loved ones off in comfort. Where I live, we don't call them potato wedges. We call them herb potatoes (like the ones in the video) or we call them jo jo potatoes. There are three yellow breads I know of - Egg bread, Hawaiian bread, and buttertop bread. Hawaiian, I think is the sweetest. We have irish butter, Swiss chocolates, European mattresses - mostly recipes designate country or culture - Spanish and Mexican rices, Japanese noodles, Korean fried chicken, American burgers, etc.
Most burials are into grave liners or vault. People aren't meant to decompose quickly. I used to have a European coffin (long story, nothing nefarious) I used as a coffee table. It was slso a burglar deterrent and a pinky toe hazard. I gave it to Universal Studios for their Halloween Horror Nights.

Many Americans call European products "overpriced" and some say garbage. Americans know that European nations overtax their citizens and for this reason must people here view European products as overpriced and not durable. Of course, some rich Americans buy Italian and German sports cars, but people who know car mechanics do not buy those cars because they extremely expensive to fix. The only foreign carmaker which has a great reputation in the US is Toyota. European products used to have a good reputation many years ago in the US, but not any more. Most Americans bury their dead in underground concrete vaults. You can choose a coffin or a casket to hold the body and the casket/coffin is then placed in the vault. Most bodies here are also embalmed. That's why we have open coffins/caskets during the wake in the US. French door fridges are named that because the door open like French doors. As for the bread, we have every bread type in the world here in the US. The sliced bread is just for toast or sandwiches. We also have rolls, heroes, hoagies and subway rolls, French, German and Italian breads. And everyone can find every other bread from around the world. I wish the world would stop thinking the US doesn't have good "real" bread. I will bet anyone that there are more bakeries in NYC than in some European nations. I have seen 30 different bakeries on one street in NYC. And each place made bread from a different nation. My German grandfather even owned a German deli and I have eaten every type or style of German bread ever made because of his Deli. And do not get me started with all the Italian, Portuguese, Mexican delis and pork stores I have been to during in my lifetime in the NYC area. The supermarket here in Florida near my home makes 20 different breads for any occasion. Any food item in the world can be found in the US. Of course, they are easier to find in major cities, but even in some small towns with a high population of a certain nationality will have everything from that native homeland.
My mother in law was buried in a solid copper casket..complete with an impermeable glass tube in one end which held paper with her name and other identifying info on it. The casket was guaranteed to keep water away from her for over a decade…
It is more for luxury or style. You can get traditional coffins made of wood, caskets made of metal and padded on the inside(typically white fabric on the inside), cremation, or unconventional methods like having your ashes put into a bio-urn( it grows into a tree) or having your ashes mixed into epoxy resin to make something like a decoration for the house.
Many caskets are made from metal. They aren't meant to decompose. Bodies started to be Embalmed. One purported reason was with the advent of fast transportation/trains, you could be buried far away from your location of death and I guess it helps reduce smells if a body isn't decomposing on a hot train car as it's transporting a body for burial from D.C. to San Francisco.
Interesting reaction. Most funerals that I have been to have been "open casket". And the conversation is usually about how good (or bad) the deceased looked. "Closed casket" is typically reserved for situations where the deceased have been significantly fvcked up In more recent years, things are shifting more to cremation. So everyone gathers around a container.
Cockroaches in America are different sizes, depending on locale. There are some types in the south that are waaay larger than those you might find in the north or west. I think the swampier, warmer areas have the larger roaches.
I guess the French Door Frig is called that because of the French Doors used in some homes. The French Door is not as heavy as a regular door and has glass panes extending for most of its length. They are usually fitted side-to-side and both are opened instead of using and opening a single door 🚪🚪
"French door" fridge is just another tricky way to imply value. Until a few years ago they were known as "side by side" because the freezer and fridge weren't stacked on top of each other in one unit but were literally side by side. As an American, I'd avoid any food product labeled as "American" because I guarantee it's probably very, very unhealthy and full of chemicals.
Hi Kabir! I got to know a lady from the Chzech republic several years back. She grew up in what was then Czhcoslavkia, a sattilite of the USSR. According to her, almost anything you could get from somewhere else was better.
Kabir what you saw in Florida was a palmetto bug. They're found here due to climate and palms for food. They are huge and FLY! While technically they are a species of roach, we differentiate between those and regular roaches.
baby those palmettos are a terrifying plague on the gulf coast lol. theyre evolving too. i beat one into goop one day and went to get a paper towel to get it up with...the bastard had run off and was trying to get away. i was like "hoooooow???? i can see your guts!!"
See Francois Truffaut's 1973 film La Nuit Americaine, released in english as Day for Night. It is a movie about movie making. Just by the by, what are called in the US "venetian blinds" are in Venice called persian blinds. I don't know what they're called in Persia.
soccer is the only thing I recall specifically referring to as European . America use to have high quality stuff but we hardly make anything anymore. I tend to lean toward Japanese appliances and now German Motorcycles.
I'm pretty sure American football is from Harvard and Princeton. It's actually called American handling rules football and is very similar to Australian handling rules football, Canadian handling rules football and Rugby football but most similar to Canadian football.
British Leyland is the opposite of BMW , When you go outside on a cold morning to go to work your American car always starts. But will your Range Rover? Japanese cars are considered highest quality. Lexus or Accura. My '97 F-150 has worked every day for 10 years in a row.
häagen-dazs is an ice cream brand that pretended to by European to appeal more as a more expensive and higher quality ice cream. It's really from Queens in New York.
A lot of French Associated things are assumed to be Quality in the states. French Bread for example, meaning Bagettes and non-sandwich breads like rolls are assumed to be better if they’re “French”.
The bread you saw in Florida was one of two types. There is a bread that is fairly yellow in color and is called “butter bread“. another type of bread is potato bread made from potato flour which has a slightly yellowish color. Nothing special about either one.
Caskets are typically made out of wood. So, they will decompose eventually. I don't know how long that will be, to be honest. It also has cloth, & brass. The cloth will devolve the fastest with bugs possibly eating the cloth.
European cabinetry. The have more of a curved sleek look and a veneer coating . It’s usually Italian and expensive. Also European furniture, more modern looking .
A casket degrades around 200 years. The deceased are prepared by the undertaker to last 150 years if the Casket is not open. If a casket is open at about 100 years, the body turns to dust before your eyes. That is just how air tight a Casket is
I guess you got the info from Britannica about american football to be from Canada, but actually was Walter Camp that invented it in New Britain ( Connecticut )
The brand is called "Sunbeam" popular bread in the American south.....not a cockroach, in Florida that is a Palmetto bug. It is a kind of flying cockroach...LOL they are big....
Like anything in american you can have any funeral you want if you are willing to pay for it. There are some super eco friendly burials and some super not eco friendly.
Kabir, I think that bread you had might have been what Americans call "potato bread". It has a small amount of potato flour in it and is usually yellow. And yummy.
In my experience we don’t usually call things European except cars. We tend to be more specific in what country is responsible for it. French bread, Polish sausage, English tea, Irish potatoes, etc.
I think other countries also need to take into consideration that Americans have to drive usually to the grocery store - we stock up so we are not going every day to every other day-hence why we have larger refrigerators-
Other than maybe using the term, "European Cars" I can't really think of anything else we would specifically call European. Typically we would call it by the country it is associated with. We also use the terms coffin and casket interchangeably. I honestly did not even realize there was a difference, but rather just two words that we used for the same thing like we do for many objects in the US.
It’s funny that people that make videos about cultural differences still accuse Americans of being “fake” with smiling and saying “how are you” as a greeting. It’s just a different context, and honestly it makes those places (mostly Eastern Europe) sound absolutely miserable.
They can't comprehend that we smile because we're actually happy or content.
Doesn’t everybody have good days and bad days? I think this guy seems a bit jealous of America/Americans. America does like a lot of things that are European, whether it be vehicles or food.
I had been using coffin and casket interchangeably. I learned something new today, regarding the difference between the two.
We don’t call our bread - American bread. I’ve seen many breads baked in Europe to be even larger in size to the packaged bread that you find in the US.
While in Italy, we made a few trips to their Euromercado. It was bigger than some of our Walmarts.
The football does occasionally get kicked.
Yea, some of those refrigerator/freezers are huge. I thought our side by side was big (right side is all refrigerator and left side is all freezer), until my last visit to Costco!

The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about something European as being better quality is chocolate. We love European chocolate.

The first time I saw one it was scary, because it looked like it was big enough to beat me up in a fair fight. In my humble opinion, no insect should ever get that big.
We have them here in Houston also. The first time I saw one when I moved here I think I screamed.
Yeah I have been to FL many times. First time I ran into one of those palmetto bugs was at an outdoor bar on a beach. I had to use the restroom and that thing was blocking the door. I told my boyfriend (at the time) that I would just have to hold it. He couldn't believe I was such a chicken that I would make myself suffer. I told him what you said. It could make short work of me.
And they fly directly at you!

An appropriate response.
Here in the US, labeling something as European tends to have a connotation of elegance or class (or sometimes fine craftsmanship), but it’s also usually implied to be referring to Western Continental Europe (“continental” is also sometimes used here to similar effect). Describing something as Eastern European here, however, still tends to elicit images of things being second-rate, ugly or shoddily made, even decades after the fall of the Iron Curtain.
Very true and good point; usually the only exceptions are for Czech beer (definitely great) and Russian vodka (sometimes).
That yellow bread you had might have been a variety of brioche, or possibly Hawaiian bread - both of those are notably sweet. It could also have been a potato bread, but I wouldn't call it sweet.
Not exactly the same as calling something "European", but the "continental" breakfast offered for free by many hotels is a reference to the idea that breakfasts in continental Europe are light and mostly composed of fruit, toast or pastry like croissants, and coffee.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing this. However, assuming that all Americans have the same things is ridiculous. 😮 Example: Many people only have smaller ones with a small freezer on top and the bottom is the fridge. Wealth does not always mean we all own the biggest or best products. I'm 57, born n raised in Oklahoma. We don't all speak like hicks. We don't always say either coffin or casket but both are used depending on the circumstances. I don't assume that because of where you live, everyone in your country thinks, speaks or owns the exact same things. Please keep in mind that it's Not true that "Everyone does ____ in a country" Thank God for Individuals 💞🤔🙄😜💞
Some of those huge refrigerator/freezers are expensive, beyond what my spouse would consider purchasing and he’s the major food consumer. Secondly, the one we have barely fit in the space, so there’s no way we can go bigger yet. I’m satisfied with what we currently have. It’s nice to look at the big new ones though.
Yep - America was founded on individual freedom - hence, individual ideas and expressions. I am born and raised here and I love America for it's diversity in culture, in language and in colloquialisms. That's what makes America great. Freedom of thought, speech, expression ... it's what makes people want to come and live here. In my humble opinion.
I love how 99% of "This is American... ", "How Americans... ", "Why Americans... ", etc., etc. videos are made by people who aren't American. This guy is from the Czech Republic but mostly they seem to be British or Australian (I saw one from a Canadian yesterday). As if that weren't odd enough the information in the vast majority of these videos is incorrect. I guess they can be entertaining but they probably also add to the overall assumptions and opinions that people around the world make. As a European that has lived in the U.S. for years now I find most of these stereotypes as ridiculous as the idea that Brits all have bad teeth, French people smell bad, Russians are all villains and Asians are all bad drivers. If one of these videos isn't (at least) hosted by an American I wouldn't bother watching it. Cheers, Kabir.
Well, to be honest, most Brits do have bad teeth and most French put a lot of cologne and or perfume, cause they don't like taking a bath or shower often! 😂😅
Jest my friend!!😂
In terms of the teeth, I don't know many people around me(NY) with good teeth. But I was born with super straight teeth and everyone compliments them. Only issues being I used to grind my teeth so my canines are flat from me grating them on each other, and the center teeth are a bit ragged at the ends with microchips. But when I smile with my teeth it is perfectly flat and straight. Sugar, starches, chocolate, coffee, tea, and grains do make my teeth yellow to orange though, so when I eat them I need to make sure I really brush my teeth or else they can get really weak, yellow, and thin. Or just not eat them.
The casket itself isn't put straight into the ground. There's a cement vault that encases the casket.
Depending on the composition of the earth that a person is buried in, their remains may take thousands of years to decompose. During the Bronze Age, people were buried in stone-lined graves and their skeletal remains are still being discovered all over the UK.
American caskets, or coffins, are built to be watertight and to last forever. After the funeral, it is lowered into a concrete vault and buried.
Quiz time: How about shopping carts, parking meters, yield signs... do you think those are American inventions?? It's common in America is to also have a fridge in the garage (for drink's & extra fridge & freezer space)
I learned on a trip to New Orleans the bodies are buried above ground because of the water levels. According to the guide the vault is opened up a year and one day to remove the remains which usually turn into ash because of the heat and the humidity. The remains are put into a bag or some sort of container and put back into the vault with many other people.
Re: caskets...
Efficient decomposition isn't the goal with most American burials. Between an enameled metal casket inside a burial vault, and good embalming, there is VERY slow decomposition.
Kabir, big yellow bread you had is probably potato bread or sourdough bread, their delicious 😋.
From what I’m told most caskets in the USA are usually made of solid wood or some sort metal.
You’re probably talking about potato bread.
It’s a bit funny you mentioned roaches. When I arrived in the USA I encountered some small roaches which I was told were called German roaches. Being from the Caribbean I was accustomed to the large roaches you encountered in Florida which, I think are more common in tropical countries.
Typically Americans don’t call yellow bread anything other than “bread”. However, some people refer to yellow bread as “egg bread”. Similar to yellow pasta being referred to as “egg noodles“. However, I have been to several Jewish delis that serve a yellow bread called challah. And p.s.…it’s effin DELICIOUS! 🤤🍞
The English tailored suit from Savile Row, Italian and French fashion and perfume are still status symbols in the US. French wine, and European cars are luxury cars.
It seems to me that both countries are doing the exact same thing. Praying on the weak minded and ignorant. Because if you say that a product is derived from a different country, it might feel as though it’s more exotic in some way.
I can tell you, coming from Cuba (now in the US), that the matches in the Chech Republic back in the day were horrible, they were made in the Soviet Union it took 3 or 4 to find 1 that stayed lit. So I definently agree.
I’m not sure if it’s common, but the casket is actually set into a cement, for lack of a better word, box. Orbit may have just been the funeral I was at. Plus, most people are embalmed before burial, which, if I’m not mistaken, actually slows down the decomposition.
Things that are European, we generally think of as classy/fancy and we think luxury and elegance. At least, my generation did, teen in the 80’s. Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan and the big bad USSR all shivering in our boots over the Cold War. Tongue firmly in cheek.
That bread that you were talking about was probably potato bread or Hawaiian bread, both are somewhat sweet.
The casket is completely airproof so no bugs can get in.
American football was NOT invented in Canada. This is a bit of nationalistic misinformation Canadians tell themselves.
The fact is American football derived from British rugby, which was transported to elite schools in both the US and Canada during the 19th century (because they wanted the prestige of a game played by the prestigious Rugby School). Over the course of several decades the game evolved in both the US and Canada. Innovations from one school would be copied by others, among them both American and Canadian schools(the American schools outnumbered the Canadian due to population). Various locations claim to have played what North Americans call football first.
It comes down to when you want to say a certain set of rules equals American football. The fact that to this day Canadian football has a different field and certain different rules indicates that the claim American football was invented in Canada ignores the parallel and interconnected development of the game in both the US and Canada.
My husband is obsessed with Italian dirt bikes. That’s the only thing I can think of that our household goes out of the way to buy something European. I’m sure there are people that have more things like that but personally I don’t really buy things based on where they are from for the most part unless it’s food related. I do love to go to the German market and the Asian markets and get some imported goodies for sure. Mostly we try to buy from local small businesses when we can and when we can’t we just buy based on price vs quality rating and don’t focus much on where it came from. It’s just not hugely important to us.
It’s all marketing. Look up “Bloomin’ Onions”, which Outback Steakhouse MARKETS as Australian, because that makes Americans more likely to buy it.
Neither coffins nor caskets decompose unless you find one of the rare green cemeteries to be buried in. By law, they go into a cement vault in the ground and stay there forever. This is to make sure the embalming chemicals don't leech into the ground. Green cemeteries allow a person to be buried in a plain casket or even just a shroud and everything decomposes and adds nutrients to the soil. This type of cemetery is rare. My state only has one. Some are a separate section in a standard cemetery.
The “American casket” as he calls it, is to preserve the body as long as possible. That’s why many who are in an open casket at the viewing are embalmed. Though you can choose if you are so inclined, to be buried in a pine container or no container at all, that will disintegrate into the earth. Then, he talks about potatoes, I think a European’s head would explode if they hear about funeral potatoes. 😂
And what are you talking about?! You have an awesome smile. But, news anchors and actors have to remain “pretty people” with veneers or teeth whitening and plastic surgery procedures.
Plus often times the casket is only rented for the open viewing and then the body is cremated or buried in a simpler container.
My ex-husband died last month and was viewed in a white pine box prior to cremation. An actual CASKET is buried inside a concrete vault in the ground. Between that, the seals in the casket and all that embalming fluid, the body will preserve----for awhile. But the soil becomes highly toxic.
I'm stickin' with cremation then, mate. Less expense, less space, less fuss.
What is a FUNERAL POTATO? :0
@@8cladgamer210 It is a mashed potatoes dish with breadcrumbs and cheese on top and browned in the oven and served at funerals or other gatherings that are called potluck in which everyone brings a dish.
@@8cladgamer210 Back in the day, viewings were at the deceased family’s house. So friends and family would bring a dish to help feed the gathering. Funeral potatoes were easy to prepare, filling and tasty. Made from shredded potatoes, cream, onion and cheese with toasted breadcrumbs on top and baked. Kind of like an au gratin in a casserole dish.
As others mentioned, you may have had brioche, potato bread, or possibly Portuguese or Hawaiian Sweet Bread.
Caskets are made of a hardwood and when the funeral is over the person is placed into a vault made of concrete lined with metal in-between the layers with a concrete lid that has all your information on it The .plot in the ground is dug prior to the funeral and lined with drapes to help the family get through that. Like everyone else these days in the states . The person is also embalmed these days so as not to bury people alive anymore. Yes it takes a long time for the body to break down but the mortician removes a lot of things to help itl Oh yeah, those roaches aren't normal roaches. They are tree roaches and they do bite. I hate them!
American football was invented by American Walter Camp who took rugby and modified it.
basketball was invented by a Canadian.
Where did he hear American football was invented in Canada?
Naismith was a Canadian he did invent basketball. While teaching in the US.
The fridge I think maybe because combined big freezers weren’t a thing in Europe for many years. Also they have ice and water. And of course Euros don’t use ice cubes as much .
@@mocrg James Naismith already had American citizenship, by the time he invented basketball. He moved to the US when he was quite young.
@@theguywhoasked5591 he's still a canadian and counts as a canadian when people talk about it :) like ryan reynolds is still canadian regardless where he lives and how long :P
@@ChrissaTodd He literally left Canada and gained US citizenship and never returned. He also invented the game in the US. Stop pretending like Canada has equal claim to the origins of basketball because they don’t.
No
A yellow bread might be an egg bread or a potato bread
If people in other countries call things “American “ then that’s on them! Lol
We don’t call those things “American”. Second video I’ve seen of his and he annoys the crap outta me. 😂
Same, always seems like he's being overly critical of Americans but "trying" to be subtle. Not to mention his info seems like it's second hand or based on TV stereotypes of the US instead of the actual culture. Europeans seem to not realize sometimes that there are wide variations across the US, even within just one state.
@@nightra1dr I agree!
Yes!!! But my mom pretty much told me Europe has more culture because it has older history. So, everything he mentioned (European butter, bread, cars, etc ) were, in my family, considered higher quality. With cars, we often referred to "German Engineering," or "British" or "Italian" car design. I now own a Toyota, but I owned 3 classic Volkswagens. They are easy to work on, maintain, and are so easily recognizable. They're practical and humble.🤣 Plus, I had rock bands and had to haul 3 guitars, a huge amplifier, a mandolin, mic and stand and a baseball bat bag full of guitar stands and cords. What better vehicle to drive than a '71 VW Bus? My sister drove a VW Karmen Ghia. My brother drove a '62 Bug until he went British and bought an MG Midget. My dad once owned a Jaguar Limo. Somewhere in the 80s, everyone went Japanese. I held out until the bitter end and finally gave in around 2008. European restaurants are considered better quality. Except for steak, it's got to be Argentinian. But European Bakeries are a favorite. Scandinavian or Belgian chocolates are revered. British tea, German or Italian opera, British punk, French wine, Italian suits and shoes, ... yeah, I could go on. I was born in Germany and my mother loved Europe so there will likely be a bias. I asked her where the most beautiful place on Earth was. She said it was the Spanish coast. I asked her where the most delicious food was. She said upper class German. That surprised me. I thought she'd say French or Italian cuisine. Her favorite films were Ingmar Bergman. Her favorite books were Russian novels (Eastern Europe). Poor mom. My favorite bands, pre-Grunge, were The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, so I really loved the British classic rock. When Grunge hit though, I was under the spell of Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, and the Melvin's. As an artist, my biggest inspirations were Michaelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, and classical Greek and Roman art. I went through an ancient Egyptian phase too, briefly, but mostly, it was Europeans. Novels? All Americans, but I did sneak my mom's Russian novels. She felt that Tolstoy and Dostoevsky were too adult. I begged to differ. Europe rocks to me. I have a rolling travel bag that I take to work that is covered in a beat up, Grunge version of the Union Jack and used to own a pair of Doc Martens knockoffs (which I referred to as Doc offs) with the Union Jack across the toes. Danny Boyle movies (Scottish), British and Scandinavian mysteries are the best. Jeez! Can someone turn me off? 🤣
I had no clue that if you put American on something its automatically American.
Yea veneers are popular here has been for a long time now. but I laughed every time I heard “American (insert name here)” 😂
Why do Europeans think that ALL American have these items or even eat them. I think that yellowish sweet bread was probably Pan Dulce but I've never had it as sliced bread. That was a Palmetto bug you saw which is a species of large cockroaches. We already have handball (NYC version).
That yellow bread was Seet Corn Bread. When hot out the oven, slap some butter on it and enjoy a heavenly delight.
Coffins are usually made of cheaper, thinner woods, so they decompose faster, within about 10-20 years. Caskets are usually treated woods that are designed to handle the pressure of the soil and lessen the affect of weather that causes wet soils and soil shifting. Caskets generally decompose within 30-50 years on average, some even longer but it really depends on the soil they are buried in and how wet it is and how much it shifts. Plus, coffins tend to be more of like an old west or halloween theme in the United States today. Caskets are pillowed, cushioned, and lined with fine linens as a way to send our loved ones off in comfort. Where I live, we don't call them potato wedges. We call them herb potatoes (like the ones in the video) or we call them jo jo potatoes. There are three yellow breads I know of - Egg bread, Hawaiian bread, and buttertop bread. Hawaiian, I think is the sweetest.
We have irish butter, Swiss chocolates, European mattresses - mostly recipes designate country or culture - Spanish and Mexican rices, Japanese noodles, Korean fried chicken, American burgers, etc.
Most burials are into grave liners or vault. People aren't meant to decompose quickly. I used to have a European coffin (long story, nothing nefarious) I used as a coffee table. It was slso a burglar deterrent and a pinky toe hazard. I gave it to Universal Studios for their Halloween Horror Nights.
As an American, we should all know, that Europeans, specially the French and Italians, make the best pastries and cakes. Western Europeans by far make the best chocolates and sweets in the world, in general! We have to accept, as Americans, that Western Europeans make excellent things, in general! I'll rather have a German or English car than most American cars! Now, the French don't make good cars!! lol!!
Many Americans call European products "overpriced" and some say garbage. Americans know that European nations overtax their citizens and for this reason must people here view European products as overpriced and not durable.
Of course, some rich Americans buy Italian and German sports cars, but people who know car mechanics do not buy those cars because they extremely expensive to fix. The only foreign carmaker which has a great reputation in the US is Toyota.
European products used to have a good reputation many years ago in the US, but not any more.
Most Americans bury their dead in underground concrete vaults. You can choose a coffin or a casket to hold the body and the casket/coffin is then placed in the vault. Most bodies here are also embalmed. That's why we have open coffins/caskets during the wake in the US.
French door fridges are named that because the door open like French doors.
As for the bread, we have every bread type in the world here in the US. The sliced bread is just for toast or sandwiches. We also have rolls, heroes, hoagies and subway rolls, French, German and Italian breads. And everyone can find every other bread from around the world. I wish the world would stop thinking the US doesn't have good "real" bread. I will bet anyone that there are more bakeries in NYC than in some European nations. I have seen 30 different bakeries on one street in NYC. And each place made bread from a different nation. My German grandfather even owned a German deli and I have eaten every type or style of German bread ever made because of his Deli. And do not get me started with all the Italian, Portuguese, Mexican delis and pork stores I have been to during in my lifetime in the NYC area. The supermarket here in Florida near my home makes 20 different breads for any occasion.
Any food item in the world can be found in the US. Of course, they are easier to find in major cities, but even in some small towns with a high population of a certain nationality will have everything from that native homeland.
My mother in law was buried in a solid copper casket..complete with an impermeable glass tube in one end which held paper with her name and other identifying info on it. The casket was guaranteed to keep water away from her for over a decade…
I'm not sure if anyone mentioned that US caskets are lead lined and waterproof (hopefully)
Veneers and or bleaching. Most teenagers have braces. I guess we don’t want to see messed up yellow teeth when we see people everyday on tv. 😅
It is more for luxury or style. You can get traditional coffins made of wood, caskets made of metal and padded on the inside(typically white fabric on the inside), cremation, or unconventional methods like having your ashes put into a bio-urn( it grows into a tree) or having your ashes mixed into epoxy resin to make something like a decoration for the house.
Many caskets are made from metal. They aren't meant to decompose. Bodies started to be Embalmed. One purported reason was with the advent of fast transportation/trains, you could be buried far away from your location of death and I guess it helps reduce smells if a body isn't decomposing on a hot train car as it's transporting a body for burial from D.C. to San Francisco.
The bread you're talking about is "Potato Bread". They replace a portion of the flour used with Potato Flour.
Interesting reaction. Most funerals that I have been to have been "open casket". And the conversation is usually about how good (or bad) the deceased looked.
"Closed casket" is typically reserved for situations where the deceased have been significantly fvcked up In more recent years, things are shifting more to cremation. So everyone gathers around a container.
Cockroaches in America are different sizes, depending on locale. There are some types in the south that are waaay larger than those you might find in the north or west. I think the swampier, warmer areas have the larger roaches.
I guess the French Door Frig is called that because of the French Doors used in some homes. The French Door is not as heavy as a regular door and has glass panes extending for most of its length. They are usually fitted side-to-side and both are opened instead of using and opening a single door 🚪🚪
White teeth means a bleaching process thru dentists and whitening strips for up keep - ❤
"French door" fridge is just another tricky way to imply value. Until a few years ago they were known as "side by side" because the freezer and fridge weren't stacked on top of each other in one unit but were literally side by side. As an American, I'd avoid any food product labeled as "American" because I guarantee it's probably very, very unhealthy and full of chemicals.
The yellow sweet bread is called "challah", it's popular among Jewish people, but it's one of my favorites too.
Hi Kabir! I got to know a lady from the Chzech republic several years back. She grew up in what was then Czhcoslavkia, a sattilite of the USSR. According to her, almost anything you could get from somewhere else was better.
Americans call a piece of bread that’s toasted toast. What Germans and Czechs call Toast is something different.
Kabir what you saw in Florida was a palmetto bug. They're found here due to climate and palms for food. They are huge and FLY! While technically they are a species of roach, we differentiate between those and regular roaches.
baby those palmettos are a terrifying plague on the gulf coast lol. theyre evolving too. i beat one into goop one day and went to get a paper towel to get it up with...the bastard had run off and was trying to get away. i was like "hoooooow???? i can see your guts!!"
American Football was invented by one of the Ivy League Universities, not in Canada
I don’t call anything based on a country. I just call it what it is
Yellow bread... maybe potato bread?
Some of this must be specific to Czech Republic and EU
See Francois Truffaut's 1973 film La Nuit Americaine, released in english as Day for Night. It is a movie about movie making.
Just by the by, what are called in the US "venetian blinds" are in Venice called persian blinds. I don't know what they're called in Persia.
The casket/coffin here are rented just for the funeral. The body is put in a wooden box and buried after everyone leaves.
The bread you were speaking of may have been "King's Hawaiian Bread". They make it sliced or in a rolls and the few other varieties.
soccer is the only thing I recall specifically referring to as European . America use to have high quality stuff but we hardly make anything anymore. I tend to lean toward Japanese appliances and now German Motorcycles.
I'm pretty sure American football is from Harvard and Princeton. It's actually called American handling rules football and is very similar to Australian handling rules football, Canadian handling rules football and Rugby football but most similar to Canadian football.
fun fact: the night scenes in the desert in the Mummy (1999) were shot day for night
British Leyland is the opposite of BMW , When you go outside on a cold morning to go to work your American car always starts. But will your Range Rover? Japanese cars are considered highest quality. Lexus or Accura. My '97 F-150 has worked every day for 10 years in a row.
There are lots of various “yellow “ breads. Even hot dogs buns/hamburger buns. Most use some potato flower.
📻🙂
häagen-dazs is an ice cream brand that pretended to by European to appeal more as a more expensive and higher quality ice cream. It's really from Queens in New York.
A lot of French Associated things are assumed to be Quality in the states. French Bread for example, meaning Bagettes and non-sandwich breads like rolls are assumed to be better if they’re “French”.
That yellow sweet bread is probably Hawaiian bread. The rolls and buns are most popular.
The bread you saw in Florida was one of two types. There is a bread that is fairly yellow in color and is called “butter bread“. another type of bread is potato bread made from potato flour which has a slightly yellowish color. Nothing special about either one.
i am canadian and that french door fridge looks like the one we have sonce my parents got a new fridge recently it was that one
Caskets are typically made out of wood. So, they will decompose eventually. I don't know how long that will be, to be honest.
It also has cloth, & brass. The cloth will devolve the fastest with bugs possibly eating the cloth.
European cabinetry. The have more of a curved sleek look and a veneer coating . It’s usually Italian and expensive. Also European furniture, more modern looking .
I have one time here in San Antonio, Texas had a cockroach that was over 6 inches long crawl into my studio apartment through the top of my door.
A casket degrades around 200 years. The deceased are prepared by the undertaker to last 150 years if the Casket is not open. If a casket is open at about 100 years, the body turns to dust before your eyes. That is just how air tight a Casket is
Yes I have that French door fridge. And another fridge in the basement lol.
I guess you got the info from Britannica about american football to be from Canada, but actually was Walter Camp that invented it in New Britain ( Connecticut )
During the war of 1812 we fought the british and canadians and that's when we took football away away from the canucks. True story LOL.
The brand is called "Sunbeam" popular bread in the American south.....not a cockroach, in Florida that is a Palmetto bug. It is a kind of flying cockroach...LOL they are big....
Potato bread is the original yellow. Bread but now there is also kings Hawaiian bread...and yes Potato bread is made withe potatoes
Palmetto bugs in Florida are huge 😂 harmless but awful
Like anything in american you can have any funeral you want if you are willing to pay for it. There are some super eco friendly burials and some super not eco friendly.
For me, my favorite European clothing brand is Lacoste.
Kabir, I think that bread you had might have been what Americans call "potato bread". It has a small amount of potato flour in it and is usually yellow. And yummy.
I hate how some foreigners make fun of our sport being called football, despite the ball being a foot long
You were probably was eating brioche bread, it is so good toasted it and put some jam on it. Or have a burger on a buttery toasted brioche bun.
yes, we use the word coffin. Open "casket" funerals did NOT originate in America but in EUROPE
never seen that bread before in my life. Sunbeam bread is what we use.
German Engineering. French good living items: perfume, food, freedom... Italian wine & fashion & culture
By the way, the yellow bread I think you're thinking of potato bread. Potato bread is delicious for sandwiches!
That big cockroach is a “Palmetto Bug” - and they can fly during mating season ❗️
