It's actually weird for the US to store eggs in the fridge. You guys wash them and thus remove all kinds of protective lipid layers from the eggs before they get into the grocery store, so you have to cook them to keep them fresh. Our eggs are just very dirty so we don't need to cool them. Milk is half correct: fresh milk is in the fridge, processed milk can be stored outside (until opened, then it also needs to be in the fridge)
@@sagafox-wilde371 Ummmm. Not too sure about that fact. Chicks grow inside the eggs (if fertilized of course) and use the excessive yolk and egg white as nourishment... so technically Chickens DO eat eggs. 😁
Eggs in Germany also have two dates on them: one date to put them in the fridge after and the "best use by" date. Putting eggs in the fridge too early actually shortens their life span because of moisture and possible condensation. The next reason is that germany has absurdly high hygiene standarts for poultry wich results in nearly sterile egg and meat production wich in turn also extends the shelf life of the products.
About the milk: we have fresh milk which is of course cooled in the supermarket but there is also h-milk (h for "haltbar" in german which means it stays longer good without beeing cooled). This milk was heated (pasteurized) in the process and can be stored for several months at room temperature.
The fresh milk that is in the fridge is pasteurized... raw milk, i.e. directly from the cow, is not allowed to be sold. UHT milk ( H- Milch ) is homogenized, which means ultra-high-heated and the fat components are mechanically crushed It is a different process, so this milk has a longer shelf life and does not need refrigeration as long as the packaging is closed.
@@andreamuller9009 Actually, thats a misconception. You are allowed to sell raw milk. The thing is, it will never be aviable in supermarkets because it can only be sold for two days after milking. To short a time frame for supermarkets. Thats why you only get it directly from the farms producing it. Many have a vending machine where you can buy it, but you need to process it yourself very quickly because it goes off fast if not.
Not quite right. You can get raw milk (Vorzugsmilch) in well-stocked supermarkets, for example from Hemme. But the few farms that are allowed to sell raw milk are monitored very closely.
Omg that german wife looking for "real bread" reminded me of myself when i was there :-D I was standing in front of the shelf for ages too saying "why is there so many different kinds of toast? Where is the bread?" :-)
Tubes are great for condiment because they don't allow air to get inside which could spoil it. It might take me a few weeks to go through a tube of mustard, but it's no problem because you can only squeeze out a little bit at a time without exposing the whole thing to air like in those plastic squeeze bottles.
For a German, a proper bread is one that is firm, has a dark crust and was actually baked for a decent time, you know, like in the old times. And most importantly, it has a distinct and nice taste. What western europeans and especially Americans call "bread" is - I'm sorry to say that - just spongy, tasteless industrial foam made of wheat and baked for aprox. 10 seconds. We have that in Germany too, but we wouldn't consider it to be "real" bread.
You can find bad bread in Europe, too. In Norway we didn't find any decent bread. And in South Italy there was a white bread which looked and felled quite normal but didn't taste at all. Like some cardboard. It was just a carrier for tomatoes, oil...
Western Europeans? And Americans? All over Europe there is a large variety on bread available, not only in Germany. We in Germany have the largest variety of breads, that's all. Not only Germany has good bread 🙄
@@gabrieleghut1344 Das Standardbrot in Westeuropa und Nordamerika ist relativ weiches Weizenbrot. Natürlich gibt es auch andere Sorten, aber was die meisten Menschen im Supermarkt kaufen würden wir als Weißbrot oder Toastbrot bezeichnen. Besonders in den USA ist dieses weiche und eher schwammige Brot sehr verbreitet. Im Prinzip ist das kaum mehr als ein industriell hergestellter Stärkeschwamm, und genauso schmeckt er meist auch. Achten sie mal darauf: Deutsche im Ausland beklagen sich am häufigsten über den Mangel an "richtigem" Brot.
@@that-possum-guy3209 Und ebenso Teil Zentral- bzw. Mitteleuropas. Außerdem hatte ich mal vorausgesetzt, dass jedem klar sei, dass ich Deutschland in diesem Fall von der Aussage ausnehme.
We have the honour system for quite a few things: fields of flowers with “cut ur own” signs and u pay per stem u cut. Strawberry’s (any berries) with a “pick ur own” sign. U then weigh the berries picked and leave the money in a slot. Farmers will have bags of potatoes or other produce on the side of the road. Grab a bag… pumpkin… and drop the money in a slot. This kind of thing works in Germany and I for one am amazed at the trust offered as there are absolutly no controls
My favorite is the "egg hut" in a village in our vicinity. On the way there you can actually stop at the field and watch the chickens that lay them... 😅 Eggs can't get any fresher than that.
The eggs in Europe are natural as you would collect them from the hens and thus don’t have to be refrigerated (although outside of Germany they mostly are). In the US they are washed in some “drastic” way that the natural protective layer is removed. Fresh milk always refrigerated, pasteurized milk in cartons are stored outside of the fridge, once you open them, they have to ve refrigerated as well.
@@CabinFever52 the yolk coloration highly depends on the food the chicken eats. Rule of thumb: darker yolks indicate a better nutrition. Both for the chicken and for the human consuming the egg.
@@IISheireenII With industrial productions thats a myth. It was like that once, but not anymore nowdays. Thats also why eggs from worse producers are often deeper colored. Because beta-carotene for example gets added into the food to colour the egg yolks more deeply as the companies and producers are aware of this myth still being held true by many.
@@theexchipmunk sure. I only said it indicates better nutrition, not that this is a hard rule. The deliberate manipulation of the color via beta carotine is news to me but unfortunately makes sense. Thx for the info. Though it still stands that the food is the defining factor for the color. Even if it just prooves the amout of carotine it has eaten.
For me as a German growing up (and now living again) in a 40.000 souls city, it's actually shocking that the USA doesn't have this "small town" feeling anywhere. These cobblestone city center streets, timber frame houses, narrow alleyways, tiny shops and pubs are so commonplace here in Germany. In my childhood and youth I hated to live here, but now, at 50, I'm loving it.
@@timefliesaway999 We don't have villages that are the same since the middle ages. I have lived in german towns and villages that all go back to medieval to even ancient times, but there is barely anything left except for a few stones or ruins. Partly because big fires were very common back then (for example, Freiburg im Breisgau is such a city, it burned down completely to the ground several times since it was built, the last time in the late 15th century), partly because we were bombed into pieces (again, Freiburg was such a city, except for the main church and the surrounding market place not a single stone was unturned). Other reasons are for example Safety and basic laws for housing forced most old buildings to be renovated or completely replaced, unless they were in private hands. Most 'medieval' buildings have been renovated and changed countless times or are replicas or restorations. Also, some stuff just simply collapses over time (i grew up in a city called Villingen, that became an official city in the year 999 but was founded in the 700s and were the leftovers from the first settlements date back thousands of years ago. It still has the 'original' inner city wall, that has been repaired quite often due to war damage. I remember as a school kid we used to sit there during mid breaks. Nowadays it's completely closed off and secured, cause pieces of it just fall down regularly due to age). So, yeah, most 'medieval' city and village buildings that you see today are not older than the first settlements in the US, despite of course the places themselves being much older.
I love the setting of the last clip. How he walks by the ticket machine and even looks away from it, so he couldn't see it and the english Translation beneath the German "Fahrkarten".
7:15 Yes, on most stations (except some subways) there are no gates, but already on the outside of most trains you will find a sign telling you to buy a ticket first and once you are inside you will find a sign almost everywhere telling you that a missing ticket costs you 60€.
The town you saw was 'Rothenburg o. d. Tauber'. Its literally called the christmas town, because they go all out during Christmas time and many tourists visit the town. It's known for its architecture ("Fachwerkhäuser", the city hall and the famous medieval wall surrounding that town), local manufacturer of traditional christmas decor, a famous christmas market and a local invented pastry called snowball, where you can watch them how they make them infront of your eyes. And while they go all out on Christmas, you can go there all year round and find all these cool things and christmas decor. We live an hour away from this town and go there every couple years to visit. They also have a bunch of museums and really nice cafes
But to be fair, we do have a lot of that architecture (Fachwerkhäuser) in different cities in germany. So Americans would probably amazed by any of them 😂
pro tip from a local: Don't buy the snowballs made with chocolate / icing. they're for the tourists. To get a traditional one go to a real bakery (the ones at market square are not bakeries) and buy one with powdered sugar. Be aware that they look nicer than they taste :-)
Eggs here have 2 expire dates. The fist tells you how long they are good outside of the refrigerator. After this one is expired, the second one tells you how long they are good, if you put them into the refrigerator now. Also milk is not "fresh" milk. It got heated to prevent it from going bad if not cooled. But of course, there is fresh milk in the refrigerator as well.
there is nothing "weird" going on with eggs in geramny but in the usa ... you guys WASH them clean of their protective layer and that why you need to refridgerate it. if you dont wash eggs you dont need to refridgerate them. and with milk, normal fresh milk needs to be refridirated of course but we also have Ultra-high-temperature processed milk (or ultra-pasteurized) and that milk dont need to be refridgerated and can be good outside the fridge for up to 6 months
She discovers the bread slicing machine, uses it to slice her bread nicely...And then just stuffs it into the bag like a SAVAGE! That triggers me so hard!
German honor system: If you get caught having no ticket that's 60€ and possibly a lawsuit, depending on how many times you've been caught and how asshole-ly you are
Yep, to explain it further, in Germany its not just a finable offense, its a crime called "Erschleichen von Leistungen" which is basically a subcategory of fraud. In US terms it would a misdemeanour charge. The 60 Euro´s is basically the DB saying, we will ignore this for now if you pay up and never do it again. By the way, never try to copy or alter a train ticket to look like its viable again. Because thats "Urkundenfälschung" (forgery) another, worse crime, that can get you into even more trouble.
..and you can incur the same costs if you are caught without a "mask". (In most federal states, masks are still compulsory on public transport). Then it doesn't help that you bought your ticket dutifully.
Hi Ryan! I am from Germany and i don't understand every word you're sayin' but I like lookin your videos since a few weeks. And i think and hope that my english will become better with the time. Wish U a nice Weekend.
I just feel the need to add this since a lot of the tiktoks were about food... but as a Swedish person, the supermarkets in Germany is one of my favorite parts about being there, I could probably spend hours just exploring everything new to me
About the eggs.... In the States eggs are washed before getting in stores, and therefore they need to be refrigerated since the natural protection of the shell is gone. Not over here. We don't wash eggs therefore they can be kept at room temperature. 🙂
The city really exists in Germany and is called Rothenburg ob der Tauber. It is a medieval town in Bavaria. There is a specialty to eat called snowball. Greetings from Germany 😊
Healthcare is btw not free. There's an insurance that you pay a small amount of money every month and if you are in need for medical treatment the insurance covers your cost. But you still have to pay them monthly, even if you never get sick
The milk which is not kept in the fridge is what we call "H-Milch" which means literally long lasting milk. It is processed with an ultra high temperature that's why you can store outside a fridge. But once you open the pack you got to store it in the fridge. There is also fresh milk which is not processed in that way in German stores, that milk is kept in the fridge continuously. But I don't like both kinds of milk, I prefer to buy my at a "Milchtankstelle" at a local farm next to my house.
Rothenburg ob der Tauber ist not far from where we live. We are planning to go there next weekend to visit their Christmas market.❤ This has nothing to do with this video, but I remember when I first moved here and went to an Aldi for the first time. Back then, there were no scanners and the price of the items were only on the shelves-not on the items. The cashiers had all of the prices memorised in their heads. And, boy, were they FAST!
Milk is Heated and preserved this way. can stay uncooled for months. Eggs are not cleaned and have a natural coverage and can stay uncooled some days. when cleaned, eggs need to be cooled.
the eggs in Germany are really fresh - so they can be stored outside the fridge until a certain date. When you buy them, they can be furthermore stored at room temperature until approx. 2 weeks. Then they should be stored at the fridge - that's also written on the pack 👍
About the milk: Fresh milk that expires within short time, you would of course find in the refrigerated section also in Germany. The milk that you find outside the refrigerated section is UHT-milk aka longlife milk, which can be kept unrefrigerated for several months as long as it isn't opened. About the condiments: Those are laced aluminium tubes that seal them off just as well as a glass jar or a tin would. We especially like things like mustard, mayo and such stuff in tubes because it is handy for putting a decorative little squirt of it e.g. onto a halfed egg or on top of your bread topping and compared to bottles that are used over a longer time you have less issue with it drying out (because there won't be any air in the tube) or having a rest stuck to the bottom that you can't get out.
The weird with eggs is in the US! You washed them and you washt of the protective cover of the eggs! We don't do this, so can our eggs stay out of the fridge! The fresh milk is in the fridge, the milk outside the fridge is "Ultra hoch erhitzt"/ Ultra high headet! so you can store it for month!
i just found your channel and i love your reactions! im from florida and i just moved to germany over a week ago. tbh its such a nice place, the old style buildings are very beautiful. you should watch christmas markets in germany. ive been to one thats in dusseldorf and i plan on going to going to more. its really nice. you should totally check it out! love your videos and looking forward to your future uploads!
If you ever happen to come to the Black Forest area during that season, i very much recomment to take the train through the 'Höllental' (hell valley - fun fact: there's a place there that is called 'Himmelreich' - 'heaven'). The rails are partly build on old roman aqueducts and viaducts. It's beautiful in itself, but there is a place called 'Titisee-Neustadt', where they have their christmas market in the 'Ravennaschlucht' right under such a viaduct. You can see it from far above when the train slows down a bit to enter the city. They are lighting up the stone monuments beautifully and have their booths in a circle beneath it. It's kinda small, but is mostly regional artists and artistic crafts, often very old traditional craftsmen there. Prepare for snow though, global warming not gonna arrive there for a while.
Interesting is that if you arrive in a city on an long range, intercity rail service, you are free to travel on the local train network without buying an extra local metropolitan rail ticket. Your train ticket for long distance automatically makes the final local trip inclusive.
@@annikaParnda might be so, not ever done any special discounted fares, but if you get atva "Super discount" fare for long distance travel, the local fare is not going to break your travel budget either. All long distance travel I have done on both normal cross country trains and the express 'IC' services have included all local train and tram fares, but not all bus services if not the central city buses, but buses to nearby country towns.
Public transportation isn't free and it says so on the doors of most trains. "Ride only with valid ticket." sometimes followed by "No ticket machines on board." But it's so small and only in German, so it can easily be missed. Before every platform entrance of any city transit station in my hometown Hamburg there are lines of engraved brass plates on the ground and signs overhead that both say "tickets are mandatory beyond this point". So if you want to accompany someone to the train's door you need to get a "platform ticket" from the ticket machine first. It costs 10 cents. This is to make it easier for the ticket controllers in the rush hour. Instead of controlling each train they often control everyone who exits the platform. This is because we have two types of multi ride cards. One for the whole day and one that excludes the rush hours between 6 and 9 in the morning and 4 and 6 in the afternoon that is way cheaper. The second one is mostly used by unemployment people and it makes public transport more affordable while also stopping people who don't work a 9 to 5 job to contribute to already crowded trains. In some towns you have to devalue your single drive ticket yourself at a punch machine at the station or in the bus at the beginning of the ride. If you don't you're "riding grey". It's the little sister of "riding black" which is not having a valid ticket at all. It's a silly system that most people from out of town don't understand, let alone tourists. "Schwarzfahren" (black riding, travelling without valid ticket) or "Schwarzarbeit" (black work, working (for cash) without paying taxes and/or social insurances) sound racist but in this case black means "hidden out of sight of the authorities". But some assholes still joke about African people on public transport or construction workers using these words. There's a cool comedy sketch about an old white woman who sits next to a young black man on the tram. And as soon as she sits down she begins to spread racist propaganda on the train. Also that one 'joke' about "driving black". And noone wants to get involved and speak up against her. So when the ticket inspector comes on board he acts nervous like he has no ticket to further feed her prejudice. And when she waves her ticket in front of his face he just grabs and eats it. So when the ticket inspector comes to her she stutters "This n***er ate my ticket!" and all look at her in disbelief while he just innocently pulls his ticket from his pocket. 🤣
7:05 that thing is for the geocache. Yes, we do this too in germany. Infact some things even have special slots or places built into them just so people can use them for geocaches lol
The first one that looked like a Christmas Village was Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Bavaria. It really is like a fairytale there. Like you've travelled to the Middle Age. Cute.
When i was little i remember always being amazed by the bread slicing machine. My mother once let me press the button and i swear to god as a little 6yo kid that thing was like a toy to me and what gave me motivation to go shopping with my mother every week 😂 Same story with the bottle returning machine. I loved throwing the bottle in and sometimes me and my sister had contests where we each got like 10 bottles maybe and each stood by one machine. Who ever got all their bottles in the fastest was the winner. Sometimes it was fun but most of the time we were both just confused because we just threw the bottles in all at once. That resulted in the bottles not being scanned and thrown back into our faces. The most memorable thing about these things were looking into the hole you throw them into. I remember i used to always wonder where these bottles even go.
Yes, it's Rothenburg ob der Tauber, and yes, you can find a great whole years xmas-shop there! It took me 51 years to visit this fairytale-town. Very cute! The slicing-machines came up 10 years ago. The eggs won't be washed, so the eggs still have a protecting layer to prevent germs getting inside the egg. The milk was UHT-milk, but you find several brands cooled fresh milk (stays 2-3 days fresh) in the coolers. The church-tax is 8-9% of your income-tax. You can opt-out or if you are doing a tax-equalisation and your earning are under 5k/month, you will find that you pay 0%. There are no gates necessary, there are multiple signs and posters to remind you to get a ticket and if you are not ill-minded you better get one.
Actually not quite right. The city he saw in the tiktok is Rothenburg ob der Tauber. It is literally the 'christmas city' lol. They go all out during Christmas time and many tourists go to see that small town. But you can also buy Christmas related things there the whole year. They have local manufacturers there of traditional christmas decorations (Käthe Wohlfahrt, etc), a pastry called 'snowball' which they are known for, which you can also get the whole year there. And those tiny decor Christmas houses? Yep we have those, my husband got them 20 years ago in that city. Locally made porcelain houses, looking exactly like the pictures Ryan showed. While it's maybe not a trend in germany, it's a local tradition that's been around for a long time. I've seen these houses being sold on Christmas markets as long as I can remember.
@@Kath-Erina Every older city and village sells those miniature christmas thingies of their place at christmas markets. For tourists, as a souvenir. Not a local tradition or smth.
00:00 This is Rothenburg ob der Tauber, a medieval town with a wall in western Bavaria. It hasn't been destroyed in any wars for a few centuries and remains in its historic look. If you ever heard of Käthe Wohlfarth, this is the company's HQ. They have a shop for all things Christmas the whole year round. 05:30 The US demands eggs to be washed (because of salmonella, e.coli etc on the shell). But this washing destroys the cuticle (an ultrathin layer on the eggshell that prohibits harmfull stuff to enter the egg via the shell) and the eggs are vulnerable and have to be refrigerated. As the eggs are not washed in the EU there is no need to refrigerate them. H-Milk is specially tretated (ultra-high heated for a short amount of time) and can be stored at room temperature for up to a year. You can also get fresh milk (pasteurized) in the cooler section.
Fresh milk is in the Refrigerated section. The milk that doesn't need to be cooled is Pasteurized and Homogenized and can be stored without cooling for longer time.
About the Japan thing: They beat Spain 2-1 because of that controversial goal (yes, it resulted in a goal immediately afterwards) and therefore we were eliminated. If Japan had drawn (or lost) against Spain, we would have made it to the round of 16. Crucial thing was, however: We also lost to Japan in our first match. (so they actually beat both Germany and Spain, which nobody would have guessed before the World Cup)
When you put a lot of effort into preparing your defense against strong offense teams. *shrugs* I guess that's the curse of "strong teams" in such tournaments. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if a team like the Spanish or German would surprise everyone by just "playing turtle" as well. Would totally brainfuck "defensive" teams. 😂
@@asaris_ Playing massively defensively means you giving the enemy team a lot of space and oppurtunities they otherwise wouldn't get. Also, you don't score goals from your own half :> If you have a strong offense, like spain or germany, you should put permanent pressure on the enemy team and simultaneously deny any chance for them to ever find into the game. Well atleast that's the theory. Practical neither germany's offense nor defense is consistent enough at the moment what unfortunatly resulted in 2 group phase eliminations in the last 2 world cups. Thats not a curse but a lack of performance :P We had enough opportunities but didnt used them. Therefore its okay to be eliminated.
@@quigge1337 Well, when the opponent expects to be hammered from the get go, it might be a nice idea to just take some time doing the unexpected to brainfuck them into maybe losing their shit. Doesn't mean do that the entire game. 🤷♀️ Because as you already said: the theory is nice and all, but ultimately it often turns out a bit like playing rock, paper, scissors... With EVERYONE knowing if you're rock, paper or scissors. Know what I mean?
@@asaris_ Ye I think I know what you mean. Doing stuff they wont expect, beeing reactive and stuff like that. But that's what both teams try to do. So if you imagine spain plays extremly passive the enemy team will realize that and they will or won't react to that, depending on their own strategy and victory ambitions. When both teams play very defensivly that are very boring games but it happens. Overall playing defensivly isn't a great tactic. Sometimes it pays off for the underdog because of mistakes but mistakes in a good stategy are still less worse then mistakes in a already bad strategy if you know what I mean. like I said the key strategy is to prevent this and if mistakes happen you still have a intact defense on your side. But that only touches the tactics of a football game on the highest level marginally. It goes much deeper than that.
About the Milk: this is "H-Milch" standing for "Haltbarmilch"=preserved milk. It's ultra heat treated milk that does not need to be cooled until opened. About the Eggs: in Europe they are not washed before they're sold. This is done in the US but actually washes a natural layer of protection away and makes them more perishable.
american eggs go through a bleaching process for cleaning that removes most of the shell, so they have to be refrigerated the whole time to prevent the development of bacteria, it's why salmonella is a more common thing over there. in europe, our eggs aren't allowed to go through any sort of processing, sometimes you might even see bits of dried chicken poop on the shell, because it's against the law for stores to wash their eggs. regarding milk, i assume it might be due to what you guys do to your milk as well, although i've not really read much on it, i know american beef is usually banned in europe because of the hormones fed to the cows, but idk how that affects the milk. rule of thumb for our milk, only when it's been opened does it need to be refrigerated, if the package is still closed, it's fine to keep it in the pantry up until the expiration date, just make sure that if you open it, you put it in the fridge, but if it's closed it's fine out of it
Eggs only have to be refrigerated if you wash them first, because you damage the natural protection film on the eggshell. That why in Germany eggs do not get washed before being placed in the supermarket shelves. Also there is usually a note on the packaging that says "best before (date A) if refrigerated after (date B)" so you know the best before date without refrigerating is like one or two days after date b. the milk outside of refrigerators is usually pasteurized and there for has a longer best before date than fresh milk that you can also find in the refrigerator.
There is an easy way to test eggs that are over the ‘best before date/expiration date’ by putting them in a pan of water. The eggs that are still good to use (raw and for heating) are the ones that keep horizontal on the bottom of the pan, the ones that are vertical but still tip the bottom are the ones that can still be used, but only for heating (boil, bake, fry etc), the ones that float without touching the bottom are rotten and can’t be used for food. Sometimes eggs can be used 2 weeks after the expiration date.
In Germany the eggs are having their natural Protection so they last longer without the fridge. In US i know so far that they were cleaned up with chemicals cause of some legacies from the chicken box witch Americans don't like. The result is the eggs losing their organic protection and have to store in the fridge.
eggs are suggested to be refriggerated after a certain date, until then you dont have to refrigerate them. i mean in nature they lay about for weeks before a baby chicken crawls out of them they dont spoil that easily. Milk - fresh milk must be refrigerated. But we do have "Haltbare Milch" which is superheated and lasts for around 6 month without refrigeration.
The 60 Euros is just if you have no ticket at all. Sometimes people just forget their tickets like when they have one for the whole month. Sometimes people will say that so they don’t get fined. But that’s not how that works. When you forgot your ticket you still get fined. But if you really have a ticket you can go to the office in the station and show them your ticket. They will edit that and you just have to pay a fee for that. In my area that fee is 15 Euros.
The ironic thing about the ticket video is that in the beginning he LITERALLY stands in front of the ticket machine. It has "VBB" on it which is a union of Berlin and its sorounding state Brandenburg. If you buy a ticket in Berlin you can use it in Brandenburg and vise versa to visit family or go to uni, I live in Berlin but I go to uni in Brandenburg and this is really common so the states made a deal
Eggs have the natural shell, not washed. Milk are preserved and lasts long. Fresh milk is found in cooling section, but I love it, that I can keep a tetra brick of milk pretty long. The first milk, that lasts this long, was condensed milk, so people used it not only as cream for coffee, but also they added water and used it as milk.
05:38 The MIlk outside the fridge is no need to cool, thgis is milk that would Consumable till 6 Month, but only wen the MIlkcontainer is closed, When u opened the MIlk u need a Fridge an u should drink the milk in 3 Days or less. The Eggs need no fridge, on the Container their is a date at which time u should bring them into a fridge that u can longer eat then. The Fresh milk u already can find in the fridge. The other outside u can find is industrial ultra high temperatured produced Milk.
2:30 totally me, when I first shopped in Houston for "bread" I sqeezed all this stuff to get something harder, more like real bread. All the stuff here is just toast! And no... toast is not defined by beeing toasted. You can also toast a slice of bread, but this shit is just toast, or not even this ! :D
those things are in all Europe´s supermarkets, but we have also fresh milk, which is in refrigerators and in Slovakia mostly in the east you can get milk directly from farm(you must bring your own jar, bottle..etc) and if you go early morning around 5 a.m, you´ll get the most fresh milk, cause they milk cows at that time...but beware many people aren´t able drink such unpasterized milk, but if you want to make own butter, this milk is the best
It's not necessary to store eggs in a fridge. Milk is a different story. We have fresh milk. Fresh milk is of course in a fridge. But we do also have H-Milch. It has a long durability even without cooling. H=Haltbar=durable. Thats the reason why H-Milch is outside the fridge.
0:10 well, that "fairytail-village" is named "Rothenburg ob der Tauber" - and it exists in reality. Funfact: there's the biggest "Shop" for christmas items - like christmas balls (in every shape!) there; and it is called "Käthe wohlfahrt" (or Kaethe wohlfahrt, if you don't had these "fancy" letters on your keyboard) in germany. 2:30 - well, all "white bread" who is supposed to get in a toaster is always called here "toastbread" or "american sandwich" (these are bigger then the "usual toast" we had here). the most want bread with a "crust", 'cause that's what we call here "bread". 4:28 the milk is outside the refridgerator, 'cause is isn't "fresh milk" - it is ultra-high cooked in the factory for getting long-term storage when it isn't opened. when you had open the milk-packages, you usually should put it in the refridgerator. 7:14 - you're always supposed to get a ticket from the automats (to be seen behind the person on they'r left side) before entering the train. no security gates is usual here, 'cause they want to make it "friendly for disabled people", who would getting in struggle with that. to be fair: in the early 1900 century, it gave a "platform ticket" for those, wo won't ride with the train, but will gather up friends or help them get they't bags on the train. the last thing is always happening, but the platform-ticket is cancelled. and of course, the "honour system"... what always worked here, but even a few will try to ride "black" (that's no racism in here; being a "black rider" is meant to drive the train without a ticket). 60€ is the usual fee who needs to payed when you get checked and don't have a ticket.
5:33 Eggs in Europe are not washed so their shell is safer because its thicker so they don't have to be chilled and the milk standing outside is pasteurized and in opaque Container.
5:50 simply said the reason why we don't have to refrigirate eggs in germany but you do have to in the us is because in germany the eggs don't get washed. Eggs have a natural protective layer that gets destroyed when the egg gets washed. And there is milk that doesn't need to be refrigirated because we have some processes to make that possible. For this the milk gets heated to 135°C-150°C for few seconds and immediatly gets cooled down to 4°C-5°C wich kills all microorganisems and bacteria
Eggs and milk don't necessarily have to be refrigerated. In Germany we have fresh milk, which is refrigerated even in the store, and H-milk, which have been heated up (=H) to a very high temp to basically sterilise it. I only needs to be put in a fridge ones it's it's been opened. Our eggs aren't washed before goint into the stores, thus retaining the natural protective layer that coats them after being layed. Not bacteria can come through that layer to spoil the egg, hence the eggs can stay unrefridgerated for a few weeks. The cartons also usually have two dates on them: the best before date, and another one (about a week earlier) from which on you should refrigerate them.
the fee for renouncing your religion is for the administrated service. You almost always have to pay certain fees for anything that is related to administrative work relating for eg to the citizens office - if you want a new id, get certificates, get your drivers license etc.
The milk is out of the freezer as it has been ultra-heated (no germs) and with the pack well closed, it doesn't need to be in the fridge. Only if it has been opened. It's almost the same with eggs. Since they have a very good shell, the inside doesn't necessarily go bad if it is kept "cool" at the temperature. However, you should at least store the eggs in the refrigerator if the minimum shelf life date is specified. As long as they are not stored above room temperature, because then you could run the risk of the chick being hatched further. The bread cutting machine is not available in all supermarkets, or if it is, then in a modified form. At our EDEKA store, for example, there is a baking station right behind the dispensing shelves. There, the employees bake the bread before it goes on sale. You can also have your bread cut there.
I remember in Berlin they were once talking about introducing or at least testing ticket gates - the station near my house already had some initial building work. I think ultimately they figured out that retrofitting ticket gates would cost just so much more than the money they lose by the few people going on the train without a ticket (which might not payout anyway if you get caught...)
The milk is heated ultra-high in a "conservation process" and sealed airtight and light-tight, which kills bacteria and increases the shelf life of the milk many times over. The milk does not need to be refrigerated to keep for several weeks. But if you open the milk, you should consume it in 3 or 4 days. You can also buy untreated fresh milk, which is always in the refrigerated section.
The first Tiktok shows a real small city in Germany. It´s called "Rothenburg ob der Tauber". GMaps shows the image you see as first impression also....
There just comes „The Wembley Goal 1966“ on my mind ! This time it was WM Qatar Japan vs. Germany and the Ball was out but the one Japanese Goal afterwards was counted
Yes, the first Video is a real place 😂 It's called "Plönlein" and is located in Rothenburg ob der Tauber which is a very popular german city for tourists (especially tourists from asian countries) to visit. It's also where the headquarter of the christmas shop Käthe Wohlfahrt is located 😊
5:58 so eggs and milk don't have to be cooled. Egg don't get washed in Germany so the protection layer is still on the egg to keep it fresh. Milk get pasteurized (ultra high heated so all germs die. The are cooled milk although, that not pasteurized, but it gets faster bad. Egg and opened milk should at home be fridged.
I send pictures of the city when I’m out and about and my American friend always says it looks like a fairy tale too lol. It’s an old German town so it looks similar to the one in the first video. I do stop and appreciate the houses sometimes myself tho, some of them are tiny because they’re built in between others.
Only fresh milk needs to be refridgerated. As soon as it is pasteurized (I don't know whether that is a word in English) it does not require refrigerating (and saves energy) and is good for much longer.
2:55 We Germans really love our bread. And most varieties of bread in the US is heavily leavened and thus very soft and mushy, plus sweetened. These are 2 things Germans tend to not like in bread. Most of us prefer less leavened, more hearty, a little on the sour side. And MOST importantly. US bread is made 100% out of layer-stripped wheat seeds (ignoring stuff like corn bread ofc). In Germany, a LOT of bread varieties are made from the whole grain, the 7 outer layers of the seed still on, containing a lot more vitamins, protein and frankly flavor. It's not uncommon for a German to say "ugh, that's not bread" when you show them a strip wheat, white bread like toast. We also love multi-grain breads as well as seeds on the crust like sunflower seeds, sesame or poppy. 5:45 Yes. Salmonella is largely non-existent in Germany. Farm health inspections are tight and vaccination is mandatory. So we don't grind down the egg shells, leaving the natural protective layer on that keeps the egg safe. Thus, refrigeration is not needed. Same with milk. There are 2 kinds of milk sanitization here. Durable milk that gets "ultra-heated" for a few seconds (135°C) which makes it last for months uncooled. Then there is "fresh milk" that only gets pasteurized like US milk does. 75ish C for 30 or so seconds. That doesn't last as long. 6:40 Yes, but that fee doesn't go to the church but to the tax office. Altering a person's tax bracket and code is work. Plus, the clerk handling your visit and form gets a salary. When I renounced my protestant baptism, I HAPPILY paid those 30 bucks :) Cause the number taken out of my salary every month was a lot higher than 30...
0:33 yes, this is real. The town is called Rothenburg ob der Tauber (have fun trying to pronounce it 😉). It was just voted the most visited small town of Germany. And exactly that cross road was used as inspiration for the computer game Monkey Island to depict Melee Island.
@@XY-0815 Tbh, i've lived in at least 3 cities that look very much like it too at some place (Freiburg im Breisgau, Villingen, Dinkelsbühl). It's a common thing tbh, just not every city and village puts that much effort in promoting their medieval image.
Those milk cartons are UHT milk (ultra high temperature). It's milk that has been ultra pasteurized and stored in a sterilized container so I has a really long shelf life. Like more than 6 months. It only has to be refrigerated after you open the container.
I know, mustard and mayo in tubes still is troublesome. I think they don't want you to get to the last portion that you can easily get to in a jar, so they sell more of it, but is sometimes more convenient, just not enough for regretting not having the jars. The milk is highly pasteurized and safely kept for months in the cartons in your pantry...eggs hold for a long time, too :) I never heard of geocaching before. I looked it up and it sounds fun. Might have to try that when it gets warmer again.
Tubes you can just roll, then you get absolutely everything out very easily. With squeeze bottles, on the other hand, you can't get everything out unless you cut them open with scissors. But I personally find jars the best, because you can simply spoon out without any problems.
The thing with eggs: it is recommended to cool them after you bought them. During transportation and storing by the supplier, they should not be cooled. Story behind, from manufactruring, packing, transportation etc. there will be an interrupted cool chain. Those interruption (because of moisture) will harm the shell and make it way more vulnerable for bacteria, than just simply skipping the whole cooling process at all.

It's actually weird for the US to store eggs in the fridge. You guys wash them and thus remove all kinds of protective lipid layers from the eggs before they get into the grocery store, so you have to cook them to keep them fresh. Our eggs are just very dirty so we don't need to cool them. Milk is half correct: fresh milk is in the fridge, processed milk can be stored outside (until opened, then it also needs to be in the fridge)
Yeah like, the fuck do they think the chickens do with the eggs after laying them? Putting them in their chicken fridge?
@@zwojack7285 exactly, they keep their eggs at 30° Celsius, after 3 weeks they don't go bad, chicks come out, greetings from Germany
@@sagafox-wilde371 Ummmm. Not too sure about that fact. Chicks grow inside the eggs (if fertilized of course) and use the excessive yolk and egg white as nourishment... so technically Chickens DO eat eggs. 😁
@@rushinroulette4636 Also if they are stressed or starving they might cannibalize the eggs
Eggs in Germany also have two dates on them: one date to put them in the fridge after and the "best use by" date. Putting eggs in the fridge too early actually shortens their life span because of moisture and possible condensation.
The next reason is that germany has absurdly high hygiene standarts for poultry wich results in nearly sterile egg and meat production wich in turn also extends the shelf life of the products.
Who else got a panic attack from the way the freshly sliced bread was put in the bag 😱 it's a felony! Poor bread.
It truly hurt 😂
Right. She didn't use the tray, which is there to help and put the bread into the bag in order.
How german are you?
German: The bread slices are not in "Reih und Glied"!!!
R:I:P: bread! :(
Came to the comments to say this!! It made me shudder.
About the milk: we have fresh milk which is of course cooled in the supermarket but there is also h-milk (h for "haltbar" in german which means it stays longer good without beeing cooled). This milk was heated (pasteurized) in the process and can be stored for several months at room temperature.
Fresh Milk is pasteurized as well. H-Milk is Ultra-high heated. That's killing all bacterias
The fresh milk that is in the fridge is pasteurized... raw milk, i.e. directly from the cow, is not allowed to be sold.
UHT milk ( H- Milch ) is homogenized, which means ultra-high-heated and the fat components are mechanically crushed
It is a different process, so this milk has a longer shelf life and does not need refrigeration as long as the packaging is closed.
@@andreamuller9009 Actually, thats a misconception. You are allowed to sell raw milk. The thing is, it will never be aviable in supermarkets because it can only be sold for two days after milking. To short a time frame for supermarkets. Thats why you only get it directly from the farms producing it. Many have a vending machine where you can buy it, but you need to process it yourself very quickly because it goes off fast if not.
same goes for lactose free
Not quite right. You can get raw milk (Vorzugsmilch) in well-stocked supermarkets, for example from Hemme.
But the few farms that are allowed to sell raw milk are monitored very closely.
Omg that german wife looking for "real bread" reminded me of myself when i was there :-D I was standing in front of the shelf for ages too saying "why is there so many different kinds of toast? Where is the bread?" :-)
Tubes are great for condiment because they don't allow air to get inside which could spoil it. It might take me a few weeks to go through a tube of mustard, but it's no problem because you can only squeeze out a little bit at a time without exposing the whole thing to air like in those plastic squeeze bottles.
To be honest, I use some tubes of mustard one or two years above the printed date and they are still OK.
@@reinhard8053 I do as well 😊
And you can portion them better on your food
For a German, a proper bread is one that is firm, has a dark crust and was actually baked for a decent time, you know, like in the old times. And most importantly, it has a distinct and nice taste. What western europeans and especially Americans call "bread" is - I'm sorry to say that - just spongy, tasteless industrial foam made of wheat and baked for aprox. 10 seconds. We have that in Germany too, but we wouldn't consider it to be "real" bread.
You can find bad bread in Europe, too. In Norway we didn't find any decent bread. And in South Italy there was a white bread which looked and felled quite normal but didn't taste at all. Like some cardboard. It was just a carrier for tomatoes, oil...
Western Europeans? And Americans?
All over Europe there is a large variety on bread available, not only in Germany. We in Germany have the largest variety of breads, that's all. Not only Germany has good bread 🙄
@@gabrieleghut1344 Das Standardbrot in Westeuropa und Nordamerika ist relativ weiches Weizenbrot.

We have the honour system for quite a few things: fields of flowers with “cut ur own” signs and u pay per stem u cut. Strawberry’s (any berries) with a “pick ur own” sign. U then weigh the berries picked and leave the money in a slot. Farmers will have bags of potatoes or other produce on the side of the road. Grab a bag… pumpkin… and drop the money in a slot. This kind of thing works in Germany and I for one am amazed at the trust offered as there are absolutly no controls
My favorite is the "egg hut" in a village in our vicinity. On the way there you can actually stop at the field and watch the chickens that lay them... 😅
Eggs can't get any fresher than that.

its also quite interesting how this came to be and that the more non-germans you have around, the less of all the honour systems are in place ^^
I watched similar things in the netherlands.
The eggs in Europe are natural as you would collect them from the hens and thus don’t have to be refrigerated (although outside of Germany they mostly are). In the US they are washed in some “drastic” way that the natural protective layer is removed. Fresh milk always refrigerated, pasteurized milk in cartons are stored outside of the fridge, once you open them, they have to ve refrigerated as well.
The other thing about the eggs, at least here in Austria, is that the yolks are kind of a bright orange, as opposed to a pale yellow in the states.
@@CabinFever52 the yolk coloration highly depends on the food the chicken eats. Rule of thumb: darker yolks indicate a better nutrition. Both for the chicken and for the human consuming the egg.
@@IISheireenII With industrial productions thats a myth. It was like that once, but not anymore nowdays. Thats also why eggs from worse producers are often deeper colored. Because beta-carotene for example gets added into the food to colour the egg yolks more deeply as the companies and producers are aware of this myth still being held true by many.
@@theexchipmunk sure. I only said it indicates better nutrition, not that this is a hard rule. The deliberate manipulation of the color via beta carotine is news to me but unfortunately makes sense. Thx for the info.
Though it still stands that the food is the defining factor for the color. Even if it just prooves the amout of carotine it has eaten.
You're wrong wend you say outside Germany is different. Is the same for everywhere except for USA and Japan.
For me as a German growing up (and now living again) in a 40.000 souls city, it's actually shocking that the USA doesn't have this "small town" feeling anywhere. These cobblestone city center streets, timber frame houses, narrow alleyways, tiny shops and pubs are so commonplace here in Germany. In my childhood and youth I hated to live here, but now, at 50, I'm loving it.
Well the USA also doesn’t exist that long, so while Germany has lots of villages from the Middle Ages, USA pretty much started modern
yeah I saw the first tiktok and was like: Okay but whats to see here. Interesting to see a foreigners perspective on our kind of architecture
@@timefliesaway999 We don't have villages that are the same since the middle ages. I have lived in german towns and villages that all go back to medieval to even ancient times, but there is barely anything left except for a few stones or ruins. Partly because big fires were very common back then (for example, Freiburg im Breisgau is such a city, it burned down completely to the ground several times since it was built, the last time in the late 15th century), partly because we were bombed into pieces (again, Freiburg was such a city, except for the main church and the surrounding market place not a single stone was unturned). Other reasons are for example Safety and basic laws for housing forced most old buildings to be renovated or completely replaced, unless they were in private hands. Most 'medieval' buildings have been renovated and changed countless times or are replicas or restorations. Also, some stuff just simply collapses over time (i grew up in a city called Villingen, that became an official city in the year 999 but was founded in the 700s and were the leftovers from the first settlements date back thousands of years ago. It still has the 'original' inner city wall, that has been repaired quite often due to war damage. I remember as a school kid we used to sit there during mid breaks. Nowadays it's completely closed off and secured, cause pieces of it just fall down regularly due to age).
So, yeah, most 'medieval' city and village buildings that you see today are not older than the first settlements in the US, despite of course the places themselves being much older.
Yes its everywhere here even in cities with 125k+ people
And then there is me. Living in a Village in Portugal with 70 poeple. Our provincial captial city has 42.000 :D That is declared as big city here :D

@@nikkri6255 Possible, havnt played the 6th game, so i dont know of similarities.
7:15 Yes, on most stations (except some subways) there are no gates, but already on the outside of most trains you will find a sign telling you to buy a ticket first and once you are inside you will find a sign almost everywhere telling you that a missing ticket costs you 60€.
The town you saw was 'Rothenburg o. d. Tauber'. Its literally called the christmas town, because they go all out during Christmas time and many tourists visit the town. It's known for its architecture ("Fachwerkhäuser", the city hall and the famous medieval wall surrounding that town), local manufacturer of traditional christmas decor, a famous christmas market and a local invented pastry called snowball, where you can watch them how they make them infront of your eyes. And while they go all out on Christmas, you can go there all year round and find all these cool things and christmas decor.
We live an hour away from this town and go there every couple years to visit. They also have a bunch of museums and really nice cafes
I was living there for 7 years, love it, miss it.
Thank you for this comment! It looked a bit like Marburg (Lahn), but I knew it wasn't Marburg. So thanks so much for telling us ❤
But to be fair, we do have a lot of that architecture (Fachwerkhäuser) in different cities in germany. So Americans would probably amazed by any of them 😂
pro tip from a local: Don't buy the snowballs made with chocolate / icing. they're for the tourists. To get a traditional one go to a real bakery (the ones at market square are not bakeries) and buy one with powdered sugar. Be aware that they look nicer than they taste :-)
@@charis7527 that's absolutley true! I just wanted to be specific since the picture is taken in Rothenburg.
Eggs here have 2 expire dates. The fist tells you how long they are good outside of the refrigerator. After this one is expired, the second one tells you how long they are good, if you put them into the refrigerator now. Also milk is not "fresh" milk. It got heated to prevent it from going bad if not cooled. But of course, there is fresh milk in the refrigerator as well.

there is nothing "weird" going on with eggs in geramny but in the usa ... you guys WASH them clean of their protective layer and that why you need to refridgerate it. if you dont wash eggs you dont need to refridgerate them.
and with milk, normal fresh milk needs to be refridirated of course but we also have Ultra-high-temperature processed milk (or ultra-pasteurized) and that milk dont need to be refridgerated and can be good outside the fridge for up to 6 months

German honor system: If you get caught having no ticket that's 60€ and possibly a lawsuit, depending on how many times you've been caught and how asshole-ly you are
Yep, to explain it further, in Germany its not just a finable offense, its a crime called "Erschleichen von Leistungen" which is basically a subcategory of fraud. In US terms it would a misdemeanour charge. The 60 Euro´s is basically the DB saying, we will ignore this for now if you pay up and never do it again. By the way, never try to copy or alter a train ticket to look like its viable again. Because thats "Urkundenfälschung" (forgery) another, worse crime, that can get you into even more trouble.

If you don't buy tickets and get caught multiple times and you refuse to pay your fine you can be sent to jail for "schwarzfahren"

About the eggs....
In the States eggs are washed before getting in stores, and therefore they need to be refrigerated since the natural protection of the shell is gone. Not over here. We don't wash eggs therefore they can be kept at room temperature. 🙂
The city really exists in Germany and is called Rothenburg ob der Tauber. It is a medieval town in Bavaria. There is a specialty to eat called snowball.
Greetings from Germany 😊
Healthcare is btw not free. There's an insurance that you pay a small amount of money every month and if you are in need for medical treatment the insurance covers your cost. But you still have to pay them monthly, even if you never get sick
The milk which is not kept in the fridge is what we call "H-Milch" which means literally long lasting milk. It is processed with an ultra high temperature that's why you can store outside a fridge. But once you open the pack you got to store it in the fridge. There is also fresh milk which is not processed in that way in German stores, that milk is kept in the fridge continuously. But I don't like both kinds of milk, I prefer to buy my at a "Milchtankstelle" at a local farm next to my house.
Rothenburg ob der Tauber ist not far from where we live. We are planning to go there next weekend to visit their Christmas market.❤
This has nothing to do with this video, but I remember when I first moved here and went to an Aldi for the first time. Back then, there were no scanners and the price of the items were only on the shelves-not on the items. The cashiers had all of the prices memorised in their heads. And, boy, were they FAST!
Milk is Heated and preserved this way. can stay uncooled for months. Eggs are not cleaned and have a natural coverage and can stay uncooled some days. when cleaned, eggs need to be cooled.
the eggs in Germany are really fresh - so they can be stored outside the fridge until a certain date. When you buy them, they can be furthermore stored at room temperature until approx. 2 weeks. Then they should be stored at the fridge - that's also written on the pack 👍
About the milk: Fresh milk that expires within short time, you would of course find in the refrigerated section also in Germany. The milk that you find outside the refrigerated section is UHT-milk aka longlife milk, which can be kept unrefrigerated for several months as long as it isn't opened.
About the condiments: Those are laced aluminium tubes that seal them off just as well as a glass jar or a tin would. We especially like things like mustard, mayo and such stuff in tubes because it is handy for putting a decorative little squirt of it e.g. onto a halfed egg or on top of your bread topping and compared to bottles that are used over a longer time you have less issue with it drying out (because there won't be any air in the tube) or having a rest stuck to the bottom that you can't get out.
You are really a very sweet Person. Greetings from Germany to you and your family ❤️
As a German, it's very interesting to watch your reactions
I always Love the Start how Ryan moving in with his Head/ Body. ^^
The weird with eggs is in the US! You washed them and you washt of the protective cover of the eggs! We don't do this, so can our eggs stay out of the fridge! The fresh milk is in the fridge, the milk outside the fridge is "Ultra hoch erhitzt"/ Ultra high headet! so you can store it for month!
i just found your channel and i love your reactions! im from florida and i just moved to germany over a week ago. tbh its such a nice place, the old style buildings are very beautiful. you should watch christmas markets in germany. ive been to one thats in dusseldorf and i plan on going to going to more. its really nice. you should totally check it out! love your videos and looking forward to your future uploads!
If you ever happen to come to the Black Forest area during that season, i very much recomment to take the train through the 'Höllental' (hell valley - fun fact: there's a place there that is called 'Himmelreich' - 'heaven'). The rails are partly build on old roman aqueducts and viaducts. It's beautiful in itself, but there is a place called 'Titisee-Neustadt', where they have their christmas market in the 'Ravennaschlucht' right under such a viaduct. You can see it from far above when the train slows down a bit to enter the city. They are lighting up the stone monuments beautifully and have their booths in a circle beneath it. It's kinda small, but is mostly regional artists and artistic crafts, often very old traditional craftsmen there. Prepare for snow though, global warming not gonna arrive there for a while.
Nice to hear that you Like it here
Interesting is that if you arrive in a city on an long range, intercity rail service, you are free to travel on the local train network without buying an extra local metropolitan rail ticket. Your train ticket for long distance automatically makes the final local trip inclusive.
But the city ticket is not included in the "Super Sparpreis" I believe 🤔
@@annikaParnda might be so, not ever done any special discounted fares, but if you get atva "Super discount" fare for long distance travel, the local fare is not going to break your travel budget either.
All long distance travel I have done on both normal cross country trains and the express 'IC' services have included all local train and tram fares, but not all bus services if not the central city buses, but buses to nearby country towns.
Public transportation isn't free and it says so on the doors of most trains. "Ride only with valid ticket." sometimes followed by "No ticket machines on board." But it's so small and only in German, so it can easily be missed.
Before every platform entrance of any city transit station in my hometown Hamburg there are lines of engraved brass plates on the ground and signs overhead that both say "tickets are mandatory beyond this point". So if you want to accompany someone to the train's door you need to get a "platform ticket" from the ticket machine first. It costs 10 cents. This is to make it easier for the ticket controllers in the rush hour. Instead of controlling each train they often control everyone who exits the platform. This is because we have two types of multi ride cards. One for the whole day and one that excludes the rush hours between 6 and 9 in the morning and 4 and 6 in the afternoon that is way cheaper. The second one is mostly used by unemployment people and it makes public transport more affordable while also stopping people who don't work a 9 to 5 job to contribute to already crowded trains.
In some towns you have to devalue your single drive ticket yourself at a punch machine at the station or in the bus at the beginning of the ride. If you don't you're "riding grey". It's the little sister of "riding black" which is not having a valid ticket at all. It's a silly system that most people from out of town don't understand, let alone tourists.
"Schwarzfahren" (black riding, travelling without valid ticket) or "Schwarzarbeit" (black work, working (for cash) without paying taxes and/or social insurances) sound racist but in this case black means "hidden out of sight of the authorities".
But some assholes still joke about African people on public transport or construction workers using these words.
There's a cool comedy sketch about an old white woman who sits next to a young black man on the tram. And as soon as she sits down she begins to spread racist propaganda on the train. Also that one 'joke' about "driving black". And noone wants to get involved and speak up against her.
So when the ticket inspector comes on board he acts nervous like he has no ticket to further feed her prejudice. And when she waves her ticket in front of his face he just grabs and eats it.
So when the ticket inspector comes to her she stutters "This n***er ate my ticket!" and all look at her in disbelief while he just innocently pulls his ticket from his pocket. 🤣
7:05 that thing is for the geocache. Yes, we do this too in germany. Infact some things even have special slots or places built into them just so people can use them for geocaches lol
The ball is only out when the entire circumference of the ball is over the line. So the following goal counts!
The first one that looked like a Christmas Village was Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Bavaria. It really is like a fairytale there. Like you've travelled to the Middle Age. Cute.
When i was little i remember always being amazed by the bread slicing machine. My mother once let me press the button and i swear to god as a little 6yo kid that thing was like a toy to me and what gave me motivation to go shopping with my mother every week 😂
Same story with the bottle returning machine. I loved throwing the bottle in and sometimes me and my sister had contests where we each got like 10 bottles maybe and each stood by one machine. Who ever got all their bottles in the fastest was the winner. Sometimes it was fun but most of the time we were both just confused because we just threw the bottles in all at once. That resulted in the bottles not being scanned and thrown back into our faces. The most memorable thing about these things were looking into the hole you throw them into. I remember i used to always wonder where these bottles even go.
I had the same experience but with the Tchibo coffee grounding machine.😂
Yes, it's Rothenburg ob der Tauber, and yes, you can find a great whole years xmas-shop there! It took me 51 years to visit this fairytale-town. Very cute!
The slicing-machines came up 10 years ago. The eggs won't be washed, so the eggs still have a protecting layer to prevent germs getting inside the egg.
The milk was UHT-milk, but you find several brands cooled fresh milk (stays 2-3 days fresh) in the coolers.
The church-tax is 8-9% of your income-tax. You can opt-out or if you are doing a tax-equalisation and your earning are under 5k/month, you will find that you pay 0%.
There are no gates necessary, there are multiple signs and posters to remind you to get a ticket and if you are not ill-minded you better get one.
These model christmas villages were not a thing here, but they start to appear in supermarkets lately. What we have in abundance are nativity sets.
Actually not quite right. The city he saw in the tiktok is Rothenburg ob der Tauber. It is literally the 'christmas city' lol. They go all out during Christmas time and many tourists go to see that small town. But you can also buy Christmas related things there the whole year. They have local manufacturers there of traditional christmas decorations (Käthe Wohlfahrt, etc), a pastry called 'snowball' which they are known for, which you can also get the whole year there. And those tiny decor Christmas houses? Yep we have those, my husband got them 20 years ago in that city. Locally made porcelain houses, looking exactly like the pictures Ryan showed. While it's maybe not a trend in germany, it's a local tradition that's been around for a long time. I've seen these houses being sold on Christmas markets as long as I can remember.
@@Kath-Erina Every older city and village sells those miniature christmas thingies of their place at christmas markets. For tourists, as a souvenir. Not a local tradition or smth.
00:00 This is Rothenburg ob der Tauber, a medieval town with a wall in western Bavaria. It hasn't been destroyed in any wars for a few centuries and remains in its historic look. If you ever heard of Käthe Wohlfarth, this is the company's HQ. They have a shop for all things Christmas the whole year round.
05:30 The US demands eggs to be washed (because of salmonella, e.coli etc on the shell). But this washing destroys the cuticle (an ultrathin layer on the eggshell that prohibits harmfull stuff to enter the egg via the shell) and the eggs are vulnerable and have to be refrigerated. As the eggs are not washed in the EU there is no need to refrigerate them. H-Milk is specially tretated (ultra-high heated for a short amount of time) and can be stored at room temperature for up to a year. You can also get fresh milk (pasteurized) in the cooler section.
Fresh milk is in the Refrigerated section. The milk that doesn't need to be cooled is Pasteurized and Homogenized and can be stored without cooling for longer time.
The First TicToc is in "Marburg (Hessen) in the "Oberstadt", realy nice there )
In Germany toast is toast even before being toasted. Is it a wonky soft wheat loaf? Then it's toast
About the Japan thing: They beat Spain 2-1 because of that controversial goal (yes, it resulted in a goal immediately afterwards) and therefore we were eliminated. If Japan had drawn (or lost) against Spain, we would have made it to the round of 16. Crucial thing was, however: We also lost to Japan in our first match. (so they actually beat both Germany and Spain, which nobody would have guessed before the World Cup)
When you put a lot of effort into preparing your defense against strong offense teams. *shrugs*
I guess that's the curse of "strong teams" in such tournaments.
Sometimes I wonder what would happen if a team like the Spanish or German would surprise everyone by just "playing turtle" as well. Would totally brainfuck "defensive" teams. 😂
@@asaris_ Playing massively defensively means you giving the enemy team a lot of space and oppurtunities they otherwise wouldn't get. Also, you don't score goals from your own half :> If you have a strong offense, like spain or germany, you should put permanent pressure on the enemy team and simultaneously deny any chance for them to ever find into the game. Well atleast that's the theory. Practical neither germany's offense nor defense is consistent enough at the moment what unfortunatly resulted in 2 group phase eliminations in the last 2 world cups. Thats not a curse but a lack of performance :P We had enough opportunities but didnt used them. Therefore its okay to be eliminated.
@@quigge1337 Well, when the opponent expects to be hammered from the get go, it might be a nice idea to just take some time doing the unexpected to brainfuck them into maybe losing their shit. Doesn't mean do that the entire game. 🤷♀️
Because as you already said: the theory is nice and all, but ultimately it often turns out a bit like playing rock, paper, scissors... With EVERYONE knowing if you're rock, paper or scissors. Know what I mean?
@@asaris_ Ye I think I know what you mean. Doing stuff they wont expect, beeing reactive and stuff like that. But that's what both teams try to do. So if you imagine spain plays extremly passive the enemy team will realize that and they will or won't react to that, depending on their own strategy and victory ambitions. When both teams play very defensivly that are very boring games but it happens. Overall playing defensivly isn't a great tactic. Sometimes it pays off for the underdog because of mistakes but mistakes in a good stategy are still less worse then mistakes in a already bad strategy if you know what I mean. like I said the key strategy is to prevent this and if mistakes happen you still have a intact defense on your side. But that only touches the tactics of a football game on the highest level marginally. It goes much deeper than that.
The last scene was Berlin: station Schönhauser Allee
the trainstation of the last clip is "schönhauser Allee" :)
Woow you’ve never seen a automatic bread slicer before ? I think we have the in all of Europe.
About the Milk: this is "H-Milch" standing for "Haltbarmilch"=preserved milk. It's ultra heat treated milk that does not need to be cooled until opened. About the Eggs: in Europe they are not washed before they're sold. This is done in the US but actually washes a natural layer of protection away and makes them more perishable.
american eggs go through a bleaching process for cleaning that removes most of the shell, so they have to be refrigerated the whole time to prevent the development of bacteria, it's why salmonella is a more common thing over there. in europe, our eggs aren't allowed to go through any sort of processing, sometimes you might even see bits of dried chicken poop on the shell, because it's against the law for stores to wash their eggs.
regarding milk, i assume it might be due to what you guys do to your milk as well, although i've not really read much on it, i know american beef is usually banned in europe because of the hormones fed to the cows, but idk how that affects the milk. rule of thumb for our milk, only when it's been opened does it need to be refrigerated, if the package is still closed, it's fine to keep it in the pantry up until the expiration date, just make sure that if you open it, you put it in the fridge, but if it's closed it's fine out of it
I‘m a new fan, like your Videos. And hey, I‘m from Germany 😉
Eggs only have to be refrigerated if you wash them first, because you damage the natural protection film on the eggshell. That why in Germany eggs do not get washed before being placed in the supermarket shelves. Also there is usually a note on the packaging that says "best before (date A) if refrigerated after (date B)" so you know the best before date without refrigerating is like one or two days after date b.
the milk outside of refrigerators is usually pasteurized and there for has a longer best before date than fresh milk that you can also find in the refrigerator.
There is an easy way to test eggs that are over the ‘best before date/expiration date’ by putting them in a pan of water. The eggs that are still good to use (raw and for heating) are the ones that keep horizontal on the bottom of the pan, the ones that are vertical but still tip the bottom are the ones that can still be used, but only for heating (boil, bake, fry etc), the ones that float without touching the bottom are rotten and can’t be used for food. Sometimes eggs can be used 2 weeks after the expiration date.
In Germany the eggs are having their natural Protection so they last longer without the fridge. In US i know so far that they were cleaned up with chemicals cause of some legacies from the chicken box witch Americans don't like. The result is the eggs losing their organic protection and have to store in the fridge.
the square in the 1st video is the most photographed in the old town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Rothenburg was founded around 1274.
this is a cluture shock video ahahahaha. regards from germany ;)
eggs are suggested to be refriggerated after a certain date, until then you dont have to refrigerate them. i mean in nature they lay about for weeks before a baby chicken crawls out of them they dont spoil that easily.
Milk - fresh milk must be refrigerated. But we do have "Haltbare Milch" which is superheated and lasts for around 6 month without refrigeration.
The 60 Euros is just if you have no ticket at all. Sometimes people just forget their tickets like when they have one for the whole month. Sometimes people will say that so they don’t get fined. But that’s not how that works. When you forgot your ticket you still get fined. But if you really have a ticket you can go to the office in the station and show them your ticket. They will edit that and you just have to pay a fee for that. In my area that fee is 15 Euros.
The ironic thing about the ticket video is that in the beginning he LITERALLY stands in front of the ticket machine. It has "VBB" on it which is a union of Berlin and its sorounding state Brandenburg. If you buy a ticket in Berlin you can use it in Brandenburg and vise versa to visit family or go to uni, I live in Berlin but I go to uni in Brandenburg and this is really common so the states made a deal
could you do christmas themed videos this month? or like until christmas, would be the perfect time to learn about that
Eggs have the natural shell, not washed. Milk are preserved and lasts long. Fresh milk is found in cooling section, but I love it, that I can keep a tetra brick of milk pretty long.
The first milk, that lasts this long, was condensed milk, so people used it not only as cream for coffee, but also they added water and used it as milk.
05:38 The MIlk outside the fridge is no need to cool, thgis is milk that would Consumable till 6 Month, but only wen the MIlkcontainer is closed, When u opened the MIlk u need a Fridge an u should drink the milk in 3 Days or less. The Eggs need no fridge, on the Container their is a date at which time u should bring them into a fridge that u can longer eat then.
The Fresh milk u already can find in the fridge. The other outside u can find is industrial ultra high temperatured produced Milk.
2:30 totally me, when I first shopped in Houston for "bread" I sqeezed all this stuff to get something harder, more like real bread. All the stuff here is just toast! And no... toast is not defined by beeing toasted. You can also toast a slice of bread, but this shit is just toast, or not even this ! :D
In France baguette tradition must only have 4 ingredients: flour, yeast, salt and water. It now has UNESCO world heritage status.
those things are in all Europe´s supermarkets, but we have also fresh milk, which is in refrigerators and in Slovakia mostly in the east you can get milk directly from farm(you must bring your own jar, bottle..etc) and if you go early morning around 5 a.m, you´ll get the most fresh milk, cause they milk cows at that time...but beware many people aren´t able drink such unpasterized milk, but if you want to make own butter, this milk is the best
It's not necessary to store eggs in a fridge. Milk is a different story. We have fresh milk. Fresh milk is of course in a fridge. But we do also have H-Milch. It has a long durability even without cooling. H=Haltbar=durable. Thats the reason why H-Milch is outside the fridge.
The town is called Rothenburg ob der tauber - it's one of the most famous places in Bavaria
The first place is called "Rothenburg ob der Tauber" (it is my home town)and it looks like that in real life.
The town is rothenburg ob der tauber, very beautiful, I visited it for Christmas markets 😊
7:06 I’m German and I didn’t know that you can open this thing😅
00:10 this a town called rothenburg ob der tauber and its 2h 16min away from me
Hotdogs in jars or cans are a great idea, you can keep them very long and use them, whenever you want.
yeah, we have those Villages, I even saw one based of Bonn. but that one's *expensive*
0:10 well, that "fairytail-village" is named "Rothenburg ob der Tauber" - and it exists in reality. Funfact: there's the biggest "Shop" for christmas items - like christmas balls (in every shape!) there; and it is called "Käthe wohlfahrt" (or Kaethe wohlfahrt, if you don't had these "fancy" letters on your keyboard) in germany. 2:30 - well, all "white bread" who is supposed to get in a toaster is always called here "toastbread" or "american sandwich" (these are bigger then the "usual toast" we had here). the most want bread with a "crust", 'cause that's what we call here "bread".
4:28 the milk is outside the refridgerator, 'cause is isn't "fresh milk" - it is ultra-high cooked in the factory for getting long-term storage when it isn't opened. when you had open the milk-packages, you usually should put it in the refridgerator. 7:14 - you're always supposed to get a ticket from the automats (to be seen behind the person on they'r left side) before entering the train. no security gates is usual here, 'cause they want to make it "friendly for disabled people", who would getting in struggle with that. to be fair: in the early 1900 century, it gave a "platform ticket" for those, wo won't ride with the train, but will gather up friends or help them get they't bags on the train. the last thing is always happening, but the platform-ticket is cancelled. and of course, the "honour system"... what always worked here, but even a few will try to ride "black" (that's no racism in here; being a "black rider" is meant to drive the train without a ticket). 60€ is the usual fee who needs to payed when you get checked and don't have a ticket.
The first one was an inspiration for a location in the game "The Secret Of Monkey Island". Almost the same picture
5:33 Eggs in Europe are not washed so their shell is safer because its thicker so they don't have to be chilled and the milk standing outside is pasteurized and in opaque Container.
5:50 simply said the reason why we don't have to refrigirate eggs in germany but you do have to in the us is because in germany the eggs don't get washed. Eggs have a natural protective layer that gets destroyed when the egg gets washed. And there is milk that doesn't need to be refrigirated because we have some processes to make that possible. For this the milk gets heated to 135°C-150°C for few seconds and immediatly gets cooled down to 4°C-5°C wich kills all microorganisems and bacteria
Eggs and milk don't necessarily have to be refrigerated.
In Germany we have fresh milk, which is refrigerated even in the store, and H-milk, which have been heated up (=H) to a very high temp to basically sterilise it. I only needs to be put in a fridge ones it's it's been opened.
Our eggs aren't washed before goint into the stores, thus retaining the natural protective layer that coats them after being layed. Not bacteria can come through that layer to spoil the egg, hence the eggs can stay unrefridgerated for a few weeks. The cartons also usually have two dates on them: the best before date, and another one (about a week earlier) from which on you should refrigerate them.
the fee for renouncing your religion is for the administrated service. You almost always have to pay certain fees for anything that is related to administrative work relating for eg to the citizens office - if you want a new id, get certificates, get your drivers license etc.
The milk is out of the freezer as it has been ultra-heated (no germs) and with the pack well closed, it doesn't need to be in the fridge. Only if it has been opened.
It's almost the same with eggs. Since they have a very good shell, the inside doesn't necessarily go bad if it is kept "cool" at the temperature. However, you should at least store the eggs in the refrigerator if the minimum shelf life date is specified.
As long as they are not stored above room temperature, because then you could run the risk of the chick being hatched further.
The bread cutting machine is not available in all supermarkets, or if it is, then in a modified form. At our EDEKA store, for example, there is a baking station right behind the dispensing shelves. There, the employees bake the bread before it goes on sale. You can also have your bread cut there.
The town in the first Video is Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Beautiful medieval town.
I remember in Berlin they were once talking about introducing or at least testing ticket gates - the station near my house already had some initial building work. I think ultimately they figured out that retrofitting ticket gates would cost just so much more than the money they lose by the few people going on the train without a ticket (which might not payout anyway if you get caught...)
The milk is heated ultra-high in a "conservation process" and sealed airtight and light-tight, which kills bacteria and increases the shelf life of the milk many times over.
The milk does not need to be refrigerated to keep for several weeks.
But if you open the milk, you should consume it in 3 or 4 days.
You can also buy untreated fresh milk, which is always in the refrigerated section.
The first Tiktok shows a real small city in Germany. It´s called "Rothenburg ob der Tauber". GMaps shows the image you see as first impression also....
This is a barrier to deny entrance for vehicles. In can be folded down for emergency vehicles.
There just comes „The Wembley Goal 1966“ on my mind ! This time it was WM Qatar Japan vs. Germany and the Ball was out but the one Japanese Goal afterwards was counted
I have to say i was fucked when germany got out of the WC but argentina won so i am even more happy cause messi deserved it more than anybody.
Yes, the first Video is a real place 😂
It's called "Plönlein" and is located in Rothenburg ob der Tauber which is a very popular german city for tourists (especially tourists from asian countries) to visit. It's also where the headquarter of the christmas shop Käthe Wohlfahrt is located 😊
The town in the beginning is Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
5:58 so eggs and milk don't have to be cooled.
Egg don't get washed in Germany so the protection layer is still on the egg to keep it fresh.
Milk get pasteurized (ultra high heated so all germs die. The are cooled milk although, that not pasteurized, but it gets faster bad.
Egg and opened milk should at home be fridged.
I send pictures of the city when I’m out and about and my American friend always says it looks like a fairy tale too lol. It’s an old German town so it looks similar to the one in the first video. I do stop and appreciate the houses sometimes myself tho, some of them are tiny because they’re built in between others.
Only fresh milk needs to be refridgerated. As soon as it is pasteurized (I don't know whether that is a word in English) it does not require refrigerating (and saves energy) and is good for much longer.
2:55 We Germans really love our bread. And most varieties of bread in the US is heavily leavened and thus very soft and mushy, plus sweetened. These are 2 things Germans tend to not like in bread. Most of us prefer less leavened, more hearty, a little on the sour side. And MOST importantly. US bread is made 100% out of layer-stripped wheat seeds (ignoring stuff like corn bread ofc). In Germany, a LOT of bread varieties are made from the whole grain, the 7 outer layers of the seed still on, containing a lot more vitamins, protein and frankly flavor. It's not uncommon for a German to say "ugh, that's not bread" when you show them a strip wheat, white bread like toast. We also love multi-grain breads as well as seeds on the crust like sunflower seeds, sesame or poppy.
5:45 Yes. Salmonella is largely non-existent in Germany. Farm health inspections are tight and vaccination is mandatory. So we don't grind down the egg shells, leaving the natural protective layer on that keeps the egg safe. Thus, refrigeration is not needed. Same with milk. There are 2 kinds of milk sanitization here. Durable milk that gets "ultra-heated" for a few seconds (135°C) which makes it last for months uncooled. Then there is "fresh milk" that only gets pasteurized like US milk does. 75ish C for 30 or so seconds. That doesn't last as long.
6:40 Yes, but that fee doesn't go to the church but to the tax office. Altering a person's tax bracket and code is work. Plus, the clerk handling your visit and form gets a salary. When I renounced my protestant baptism, I HAPPILY paid those 30 bucks :) Cause the number taken out of my salary every month was a lot higher than 30...
0:33 yes, this is real. The town is called Rothenburg ob der Tauber (have fun trying to pronounce it 😉). It was just voted the most visited small town of Germany. And exactly that cross road was used as inspiration for the computer game Monkey Island to depict Melee Island.
@@XY-0815 Tbh, i've lived in at least 3 cities that look very much like it too at some place (Freiburg im Breisgau, Villingen, Dinkelsbühl). It's a common thing tbh, just not every city and village puts that much effort in promoting their medieval image.
Those milk cartons are UHT milk (ultra high temperature). It's milk that has been ultra pasteurized and stored in a sterilized container so I has a really long shelf life. Like more than 6 months. It only has to be refrigerated after you open the container.
I know, mustard and mayo in tubes still is troublesome. I think they don't want you to get to the last portion that you can easily get to in a jar, so they sell more of it, but is sometimes more convenient, just not enough for regretting not having the jars. The milk is highly pasteurized and safely kept for months in the cartons in your pantry...eggs hold for a long time, too :)
I never heard of geocaching before. I looked it up and it sounds fun. Might have to try that when it gets warmer again.
You get everything out from tubes but not from the plastic bottles.
There are very small rolls of paper inside some caches to leave your note. Sometimes a lot smaller.
Tubes you can just roll, then you get absolutely everything out very easily. With squeeze bottles, on the other hand, you can't get everything out unless you cut them open with scissors. But I personally find jars the best, because you can simply spoon out without any problems.
@@vomm Yes, plus, glas jars are better for reusing or recycling...
Also tubed Thomy mayo is just the best, at least if you want to put it on eggs.
we have pasteurized milk too its dont need to be cooled but regular milk has to be cooled
The thing with eggs: it is recommended to cool them after you bought them. During transportation and storing by the supplier, they should not be cooled.
Story behind, from manufactruring, packing, transportation etc. there will be an interrupted cool chain. Those interruption (because of moisture) will harm the shell and make it way more vulnerable for bacteria, than just simply skipping the whole cooling process at all.
