Everything in a carton in UK is pretty much ready to drink. Like, You put it in a cup and drink. Like milk, or juice. So I guess seeing egg whites in a carton, made him think you guys just drink it.
Me, an American, sitting here on my couch eating an entire bucket of red vines alone while watching this video and seeing him react to a bucket of red vines: 😳
The reason the bags of candy you’re seeing are so big is because those are not single servings and are meant for sharing. The small individual bags are not kept in the main part of the store in the big aisles. They’re kept near the checkout lanes and/or registers in much smaller racks. It’s funny watching European reactions to American grocery stores because they always comment on how “massive” everything is. American culture has always been based on family and this is why things aren’t typically sold in single portion sizes. So when you ask “is that for one person!?” The answer is no, it’s for a family.
You do not drink the egg whites in the carton, it's for cooking egg whites and the yoke is removed because some people cannot eat yokes. They also sell yokes in a carton for the same reason.
Some of the health nuts at my last workplace insisted on egg white omelets for breakfast from the employee canteen. A woman I worked with liked egg whites, spinach and feta.
No, *Japan* has all the flavors. America only has the flavors that at least one person somewhere on the planet might ever actually voluntarily eat. We don't have e.g. the buttered-watermelon-Pepsi-milk flavor, the mayonnaise-tuna-corn-pizza flavor, the red-bean-paste-and-green-tea-cake flavor, etc., literally ad nauseam.
@@2436golden There are a couple of minor exaggerations there. In particular, the buttered-watermelon Pepsi flavor was only available for a limited time, years ago, and had, as far as I know, nothing to do with milk; it was just a Pepsi flavor. Does that help?
In the US, only postal carriers are allowed to open your mailbox. Anyone not authorized is guilty of tampering with the US Mail a federal offense and a felony.
@@Morgaine And one time I took a job delivering phone books (these days, they're just sent out by mail, but in those days we had guys with pickup beds full of phone books going house to house). We were told explicitly NOT to put the phone book in the mailbox unless we wanted to pay for the postage. We wrapped each phone book in a watertight plastic bag and left it on the porch, or on the ground next to the mailbox.
There is special boxes for newspaper. I guess its not everywhere but at my parents house they have a special box for the paper. Here they just throw it in the driveway. Hardly anybody gets the paper anymore anyway when you can read it all online.
Same here. Very rarely does anyone do a daily market. Americans just shop differently so the sizes are different, and frankly, you need a car to do it.
True. Our refrigerators are much larger in the USA. And some people have 2 or more refrigerators. My grand daughter has 2 large ones at her mother's house (one with regular family food in the kitchen, one with drinks and ice only in the garage). AND 5, yes 5 mini frigs in each bedroom! Yeah.....I don't get it either🙄
@@Millieshin-yj5mb if you live in a house (rather than an apartment) the standard seems to be a fridge/freezer combo, and a standalone freezer. With a decent number also having a mini-fridge.
Like most things in America, the packages are so large because they are meant to be shared or eaten over time, not all at once. Its the same with our restaurant portion sizes; a lot of people take whatever they don't eat home to eat the next day. It harkens back to our frontier culture when people would go to town and stock up on/store a lot of goods all at once. It's also why our refrigerators are so big.
Our habits are different from the Europeans. We don't food shop daily as many of them do. We tend to do it weekly. This explains why we have such large refrigerators; we store more food for later.
Yeah, American's have this "Everyone must be fat in America" vide because we don't shop like Europeans. Our packaging is typically larger not because we sit an eat an entire bag at a time. It's because we buy for weeks at a time. A family size bag of chips in our household usually lasts a week or 2. Our cities are also built around car culture. There aren't a lot of places outside of major cities that have walking distance to shops. So, we like one stop shopping where we can get everything, we need without having to go out every other day. Edit - Ralphs is owned by Kroger. Which is the largest specifically grocery chain in the US.
I'm convinced England/Europe has no concept of office or household parties. We're always buying veggie/cheese platters for some gathering. Even bring them for like the kids soccer practice for them to nibble on during games. Having a presentation or long day of meetings? Veggie tray! Got people coming over? Veggie tray! Going to a dinner party? Veggie tray!
Lewis, I really get a kick out of how much you mention that it is so surprising the way we Americans talk with each other as strangers. That is totally routine for us. We strike up casual conversation with anyone, anywhere. 💯😎
I tried to explain the other day when in a hospital elevator with me & a relative in a wheelchair, and two other wheelchair-bound and two "pushers." In just a few floors, the wheelchair folks were having a conversation while the standing pushers were having another. In a stressful situation like a hospital! We're just friendly people, trying to make your day a little better.
Depends on the area tbh. I'm from the Alabama/Georgia area. In Alabama or small towns in Georgia, this is the norm. It was such a culture shock at how "rude" I perceived people in Atlanta the first time I went.
You can only find Kinder by me. It's one of my favorite candy bars. That's because they have fewer carbs & taste so good!( Never heard of Haribo.at all! candy bars
I live in a smallish town in California with one big grocery store. We have so many choices of British foods and snacks. Kinder, Tim Tams, Haribo, British teas, HP sauce, Heinz beans, Digestives biscuits... I always laugh at these types of videos when they act like us Americans have no idea.
M&M--Red are peanut butter, Yellow is peanut, purple are dark chocolate (and dark chocolate with peanuts--gotta read to see which), brown is caramel mocha, light blue is crunchy cookie, light brown is almond (my favorite). Dark brown are the normal ones. Love M&Ms. As for strangers talking, Texas, that's a thing here. Always talking to folks.
You are never going to truly understand until you come to America and actually explore and go to big towns and small towns. Can’t wait, make sure you film it all. 👍
@@ronclark9724 Two different things. Resses Pieces is candy coated roasted peanut butter, and Peanut Butter M&Ms are candy coated chocolate and normal peanut butter.

I grew in Pennsylvania about 3 hours away from the city of Hershey. Yes, it was named Hershey because it was initially started out as a village for all the Hershey employees. Now it's a really cool place with streets lined with street lights that look like Hershey's Kisses and you can get a chocolate beer in every bar. They even have a big amusement park, Hershey Park, with fantastic rollercoasters. You can even do the Hershey's Chocolate Tour...and it's FREE!
So Lewis, there’s two prices on most things. If you buy one the price is high then another price will be much lower if you buy two, three or four of that item. The prices are high in California right now because gas and diesel is so high. It then carries over to your groceries. When gas and diesel is low food prices are really low, if gas and diesel is high food cost goes up!
I like how he says the bread isnt as fresh as in germany......there is a literal bakery in the store. They make bread, muffins, donuts and cakes....everyday, fresh. Also, taco flavor doritos were also the og flavor.
It's the spell check that's inserting the wrong words in the sentence. I really don't like it. I have to constantly read over what I type before I send anything. As far as I'm concerned, it's a pain in the butt! It was supposed to be cheese not chess.
Yes, and they found out the formula aided in the rehydration and replenishment of electrolytes, hence the name Gatorade. And then speaking of which, there's a variety of Gatorade now called Gatorlyte which is billed as a rapid rehydration formula. I had the cherry lime flavored one the other night and it was very good.
With the candy sizes in grocery stores, large multi packs and "family size" items like what they were looking at are located in a grocery isle. But they also sell the regular single serving sizes, they're just typically located near the registers/tills at the front of the store.
If you get a chance when you’re over here, buy a box of peanut butter Cap’n Crunch, and have a serving of it. Follow the milk, constructions, and everything and let it soak up some of the milk. It is one of the best breakfast cereals from when I was a kid, like he said you can only have it in moderation, but it’s worth it
In Chicago when I was a kid the Tribune printed both a morning and an evening paper Monday through Friday. I delivered the evening papers on my bike when I was in 7th grade. I had one old gentleman who always stood on his third floor outside balcony waiting for me. If I could throw the paper to him on the first try he would toss me down a quarter. If it took two tries he would toss me down a dime. If I had to walk it up to him he would hand me a nickel. Then I had a number of newspapers to deliver in an apartment complex. I would ring this one woman's bell and she would buzz me into the complex. I delivered her paper first and she handed me a dollar bill every day Monday through Friday. Close to Christmas time many people on my paper route gave me envelopes with a Christmas card and money inside. It was a great job for a kid back then!
In New Orleans at least thru the 80's, there was a morning and evening paper. To distinguish the two, the evening paper's first sheet was a light green.
When I was younger we had the morning and evening, some papers were thrown but in some neighborhoods and rural areas you would have a Paper box or two mounted next to your mail box usually with the news papers logo on it.
@@kurtjohnson6464 There's a game called "GeoGuesser" or maybe just "GeoGuess" and the object of the game is to figure out what state you were dropped in. You move around just like Google Maps (what it's actually based off of) and look at different things nearby. You're actually looking at the pics the Google cars take for Google maps. Sometimes they're clear, most of the time they're not. If I see those newspaper boxes next to a mailbox, I try to zoom in to see if I can read the city that's usually part of the name, like "Denver Post", etc. If I see it, THEN I can almost always tell what state the game dropped us in. Ends up being a lot faster and easier than trying to find the name of a city or state on a billboard or highway sign, though those work well, too.
@@VME-Brad cooking, baking, etc. not used to drink directly from the carton uncooked unless you are on some health kick where you think that is healthy like Arnold or some body builders I have seen do that having straight uncooked eggs
20:14 there are 'crumbly', 'soft' and 'chunk' cookies from Chip's Ahoy. the 'soft' ones are great when you microwave them for a few seconds (like 10 secs for around 5 cookies). it makes them taste like cookies right out of the oven. and the 'chunk' cookies are the 'crumbly' or 'soft' cookies with large 'chunks' of chocolate or peanut butter or both in the cookie instead of small pieces. they have also come out with other flavors like 'red velvet cake' and others.
It has taken almost twenty years, but my South American wife has finally come around and admitted she now likes peanut butter. Still working on the root beer.
@@TheBaldr The best peanut butters don't have sugar in them! I buy Teddy. They use dry roasted peanuts and salt. Nothing else. (Unsalted is also available.) Super yummy, especially in a Fluffernutter!
Kinder too. People mistakenly think Kinder was banned, we just don’t get the Kinder Surprise with the toy inside the chocolate because it falls into a banned category.
18:39 the way most store shelfing system works is that similar products are shelved near each other (chips, milk, cheese, ect) and then by brand, then by flavor, then by size. the sizes are smallest is higher of the selves and larger is near the bottom of the shelves. Also, there is psychology at play, as many products for children are at a lower level to be within line of sight of children to encourage them to desire those products and products for adults are higher on the selves in line of sight of adults to do the same...
I just found your channel! I’m laughing so much at your shock and disbelief. I know our Countries are different but seeing it through your eyes is very entertaining. Go big, or go home ! 😂
Ralph's is owned by Kroger's and is a moderate to high cost store in California. There is also a lower priced store owned by Kroger called Food 4 Less. More basic options but all the same Kroger store-brand items. In grocery stores here the individual sized candy packages are found near the check-out stands. The candy aisle has the larger packages. You will find the Kinder eggs and a bigger selection of Haribo in other stores, such as drugstores, convenience stores, and the big-box stores. You don't drink the egg whites. You use them to make yolk-free eggs or for making meringue. The variations of foods are because we are a big, diverse population and like choice. But also it is a good way to get people to buy things they don't normally buy, to try something new.
The red-orange M&M bag are the peanut butter ones. The plant based meats honestly depends the brand, some taste good and some don't; the impossible brand does taste like processed meat, which is what it's supposed to taste like. White Claw are Hard Seltzers, carbonated flavored water mixed with hard alcohol, a seltzer by itself is just a kind of carbonated water.
In Alcohol consumption by liter per capita, the UK beats the US by a country mile. You gotta remember that although we have quite a few drinkers here, we also have many many counties in the US (especially in the South) that are dry, meaning they do not sell alcohol anywhere in the country. You can buy it, but it's gonna be a drive. Left over teetotalers from the Prohibition Era.
One of my favorite memories of Sunny D was when I went grocery shopping with my dad as a kid and he told me to get orange juice. I came back with Sunny D. He told me to put it back and get actual orange juice. He said Sunny D was "belly wash". I still have no idea what that means but it always makes me laugh.
Kool aid used to come in small envelope packages of several flavors of unflavored powder that would make 2 quarts. The packet recipe called for 1 cup of sugar to be added. Our family preferred to add just 1/2 cup of white granulated sugar. Later, the factory added process sugar and sold kool aid in large plastic containers of premixed powder in limited flavors. I use about half the amount of powder as the package calls for. Occassionally you can still find the envelopes, now they offer small squirt bottles of kool aod concentrate that you can add to a bottle of water.
Those candy packets are massive because they're in the main part of the store and are meant as share bags. Most stores (there are well known exceptions) have individual sized candies up front next to the checkout registers.
They used to put the newspaper in a plastic bag so they didn't get wet when it rained. You got s paper delivered if you got a subscription and paid for it. It was great!
@@LoriWellman To be fair, the paperboy often has to pay for the plastic bags AND do the bagging himself. Where I lived for 40 years, the paper was only bagged on days when it was raining, or likely to rain. Our paperboy even sometimes put a little envelope in the newspaper for donations to help him continue to pay for those newspaper bags.
Lewis, this may blow your mind... but there are 13 different varieties of M&Ms. FYI, the RED bag is Peanut Butter Milk Chocolate. At Walmart, a 46 gram bag is $1.32. The 487 gram bag is $7.48. That market in Southern California is VERY pricey.
Twizzlers come in a bin with a lid too, at least at Walmart. It's dangerous if you live them....suddenly half the bin is gone and you've eaten 1000s of calories of sugar!!
16:13 as I'm sure you know. bread loafs in Europe have a hard outer shell. this allows them to sit out and last longer before they start to mold. in the U.S. our loafs can have a slightly harder outer shell, but it's no where near the hardness of European bread, thus it molds much faster. Thus, we tend to sell and use it much fresher than in European stores. Breads can only sit for a few (like 3 or 4 at most) days before being taken off the shelf. We also label the bread and other 'freshly made' products with the 'made date' that tells you when it was made so that you know if it's sat for too long on the shelf.
Yeah, he definitely thought it was stale because it was soft. A lot of Americans just don't like hard crusts on their bread so soft bread is very common.
@@jenniferpearce1052 Well, I missed whether it was a fifth or a liter and went with the fifth and I quit drinking in 2012 so, if I made an error, apologies!
18:25. And most of those chip bags are one third to one half filled. They make big packaging as they think they are tricking you but most people arent stupid and know their marketing tricks:)
Oh honey... Lewis.... we have "Ranch" everything. You can buy the spices (without the liquids) in a big bottle that you can make into a salad dressing or dip by adding buttermilk and mayo... or... you could roll anything from chicken thighs and pork chops to potatoes and broccoli in it and cook them up. We... we definitely have Ranch.
At a bar, Seltzer might be called club soda. Americans are more likely to drink it as a mix with a mixer or something not just straight up, for most people
Just so you know, I'm 45 I was throwing newspapers for 15 years ,up until 3 years ago. Here in Lawton Oklahoma. I had to put it on the doorstep. I couldn't just throw it out, The window and I delivered 350 papers every night 7 days a week until COVID and then I finally got 2 days off. We are considered contractors so I could only get a day off if I paid someone to do my routes. Rain snow or the heat.We had to make sure everyone got their paper even today. Here in Oklahoma, it could be 90° at 2 in the morning. I'm German, so it's also cool seeing this reaction. You keep up the great work much love from Lawton Fort Sill Oklahoma. Ps I did make good money doing that plus no one bothered you just had to worry about straight dogs. Lol
Pudding in America is similar to a custard but it is made with just milk instead of milk and egg yolks. It is usually thickened with corn starch. The cups he was showing were pudding cups. Jello is a brand name that makes gelatin and pudding. Jello became synonymous with gelatin in the US. I know they call it jelly in the UK. What we call dessert is what the UK refers to as pudding. I know that would be confusing for you.
The thing to know about the US is that just about every city will have high-end grocery stores that are mostly organic and higher end products that are more expensive, the same city will have grocery stores that are a mix of organic and budget options, and grocery stores that are mostly budget and mass-produced foods, and then there are bulk grocery stores (Costco & Sam's Club). This means you can find foods based on your budget. If someone is lower income then they can get "food stamps" a type of cash equivalent that can be used to buy groceries and are awarded monthly. In my experience, the portion sizes of grocery foods in the US are much larger than Europe or Asia which may also account for the higher prices in some of these videos.
To be fair regarding the bread, they are visiting a grocery store that sells EVERYTHING, and visiting in the afternoon. Bread is fresh when the store opens....
The Cool Ranch Doritos have been the 2nd most popular since their creation- they are the blue bag. I think they call them Cool American outside of the US, they are the blue bag. The chips are NOT small personal bags either, they are large party bags- they would fill a large serving bowl and a group could share them. 😂
It is against Federal law for anyone other than the owner of the mailbox or a postal employee to put or remove anything from a mailbox without prior permission from the owner.
It’s actually illegal for the person living at the address to allow anyone to put something in their mailbox. The postal service usually turns a blind eye to this but anything other than postage paid mail is illegal. Even though you provide the mailbox it’s not yours it’s considered federal property.
@@butterbeanqueen8148 That part's no longer true, it got changed when a guy in Ohio got tired of the road crews destroying his mailbox and tried to have them arrested for destruction of federal property. It got changed real quick after that.
In rural areas you will often see, on the same post as the mailbox, a smaller plastic box with the name of a newspaper on it. They used to provide them to subscribers for the people who deliver newspapers to put them in.
@@VME-Brad the law didn’t change. You can sue someone for the destruction of a mailbox in order to get it replaced. You can be sued by someone who is injured or killed or has auto damage that hits your mailbox. But it is still federal property.
I’m plant based. Impossible tastes just like beef in my opinion. Grocery stores in the US have a good amount of plant based alternatives but restaurants don’t often have options, whereas the UK had a ton of vegan options at restaurants. California also has a lot more vegan friendly restaurants than other areas of the country
Lol.. If there is the slightest chance for rain the paper is put in a plastic sleeve and tied so the paper does not get wet. You do not drink egg whites in a carton.. You can scramble them in a skillet.. for scramble eggs.. you can bake with egg whites
@@cp368productions2 I haven’t subscribed to a physical newspaper for awhile. I subscribe online so I guess it may have changed since I last got delivery.
Bottled still water, especially spring water, is far superior in taste to most cities' tap water. Chlorine for disinfection and possibly of a lot of dissolved minerals have made tap water less palatable. We have a reverse osmosis drinking water filter system that feeds the water/ice in the fridge door and a tap at the side of the kitchen sink, but that one is used mostly for cooking. I consider tap water just washing water.
Mousse has more air in it and is more of a foam. Pudding is more similar to custard, but differs in terms of how it is thickened. (Pudding is thickened using cornstarch, which allows it to be made much more quickly, and I don't just mean the "instant" kind; even homemade from-scratch pudding can be made in 15-20 minutes. Custard doesn't use the starch, so it needs a much longer cooking time to thicken.) Almonds (like most kinds of nuts, tbh) are considerably more expensive than peanuts. I assume it has to do with the difficulty of efficiently harvesting them in large quantities for the commercial market. Peanuts are easy: harvesting equipment just scoops up the whole layer of topsoil that the peanuts grow in, and runs it through some kind of sieve or grate; the holes are just a little too small for the peanuts to go through, but the soil falls through and is returned to the field, and the peanuts don't fall through and are collected. Tree nuts fall into two categories. The ones that are relatively affordable (but not as cheap as peanuts), are the ones like almonds and pecans that can be harvested by laying out a tarp, shaking the tree with a massive vibration apparatus, and then collecting everything that falls onto the tarp. The ones that have to be picked by hand, are more expensive. Cashews are a special case: they drop on their own when fully ripe. The separated egg whites or yolks, in the carton, are principally for use in recipes that only call for one or the other, e.g., egg yolks are used in pudding and custard and some types of rich cake desserts; egg whites are used in meringue, types of cake that want to be bright white (e.g., angelfood cake, wedding cake), among other things. Since the product exists, there are also people who use them in other ways, e.g., in omelettes; and because there are eight billion people on this rock and some of them are weird, there are even people who just drink them, because of course there are. But the main use is in recipes. Sunny D has always tasted extremely artificial. It's basically just water, high-fructose corn syrup, yellow-orange food coloring, artificial flavoring, and maybe some citric acid and/or vitamin C. My sister loves it. Seltzer water is carbonated water. The term is mainly used in the context of (usually alcoholic) mixed drinks, where seltzer is an ingredient. There's also tonic water, has quinine in it. @ 28:10 : "The colors just pop." Huh? Literally that whole scene is asphalt. It's dark grey.
Ha! I always worked hard and long hours. When my kids were little, I remember grocery shopping and went to get cereal. I looked at the cereal (mostly air in the box) and realized, dang! That's like 1 whole hours wage for 1 breakfast! I was bump that. I started buying muffin mixes, cans of cinnamon rolls, frozen waffles and pancakes, eggs etc. My kids were in heaven! They thought it was the best. I became the best mom in the world and saved a fortune in the process lol. My kids are grown now and still talk about how quickly they'd jump out of bed to get ready for school when they smelled fresh muffins or cinnamon rolls in the air lol.
$450 to almost $500 every two weeks for groceries is the norm. Used to be about $250 to nearly $300 every two weeks, but the prices went up. This is for a family of three plus pets.
When you go to the checkout line, they have regular sized candy. When you're at the grocery store in the regular aisles that's where you find the family-sized candy section. Or if you go to a convenience store or a gas station you're going to find regular-sized candy. And there are regular size portions of all the other food. A lot of the times they make family size portions of food and they are massive but if you're just shopping for yourself you're never going to buy those large items because you would have to have a massive freezer and massive refrigerator to store all that food. And you couldn't eat it fast enough.
The vodka you said was massive is actually the medium sized bottles here🤣 Egg whites are used for making whipped toppings on desserts as well. Yes we have Nestle water, tea, cocoa etc. seltzer is carbonated water, the ones that you know of are the alcohol versions.
What you thought as moose is actually a similar consistency to custard, which is what we refer to as pudding. There are so many different flavors of pudding from vanilla to chocolate, butterscotch, and many more. Great reaction, thank you for sharing.
28:51 'reusable' bags are common now along with paper bags and plastic bags that nearly every store usually has. a few decades ago started the 'reuse, recycle, repurpose' craze that was heavily promoted by environmental groups. so now nearly every home as at least a few cloth type bags that can be used for shopping.
Our town has made single use plastic bags illegal. They used to be all over as little so... Yay! I've been using cloth bags for shopping for decades now. If you forget there are still paper bags to be had or reusable ones right there at the register is you want to buy those instead.
Newspapers can be delivered to a newspaper box or tube next to your mailbox on the street, so in the long run those houses were easier to deliver to by car. Newspapers often are put in plastic bags to keep dry in rain. We didn't have such bags back in my day of a newspaper route in the 1970s, and I had to walk up to each house and make sure the newspaper was out of the rain, and in placed exactly where the customer wanted it. The Sunday paper was huge, full of ads, and I was lucky, my father would drive me around, but the rest of the week I walked the route, and there were hills, and YES, I did walk up hill in the snow, each winter for three years.... ha ha ha .
6:08 Jelly Belly sells a roulette game. You spin an arrow to choose the color bean. The bean either has a good or bad flavor, and they look the same, so you can't tell which is which. For example, the brown jelly bean could be chocolate pudding or dog food. The speckled green bean is a juicy pear or booger, etc.
Most burger king fast food locations have a machine that dispenses 165 different different drinks from the Coca-Cola brand, and you are free to mix them.
If you get Welch's gape jelly and jiff peanut butter don't forget to wash it down with a glass of milk. The amazon uk does have Welch's grape jelly. Please don't get jam.
As for PB&J sandwiches, I say go with whatever flavor of jam or jelly or marmalade you like (my fave is apricot jam), but Skippy Extra Crunchy peanut butter is better than Jiffy (too sweet). I also reduce the calories by making them open-faced. Who needs extra bread? And for something a bit different try a good peanut butter on bread with a glass of V-8 tomato cocktail is very nice.
My first job when I was 10 was to deliver newspapers on my bike. The route I got started with 9 houses that were clustered around a small lake peninsula, i grew the route to 42 houses and 20 miles. I enlisted my little sister to do 1/2 the miles and 1/4 of the houses. We made sure to place the newspaper between the storm door and the secure door unless the customer requested the paper be left in their mail box or paper tube located under the mail box. I pedaled that route every day after school and every sunday morning. My dad would drive us around the route on if the weather was 20F or colder (-6.66c) or raining hard with lightning. My dad had to convince the paper that I would dova good job.
Just because it's in a carton doesn't mean you drink it. It for pouring. 😂😂😂

The reason the bags of candy you’re seeing are so big is because those are not single servings and are meant for sharing. The small individual bags are not kept in the main part of the store in the big aisles. They’re kept near the checkout lanes and/or registers in much smaller racks.
It’s funny watching European reactions to American grocery stores because they always comment on how “massive” everything is. American culture has always been based on family and this is why things aren’t typically sold in single portion sizes. So when you ask “is that for one person!?” The answer is no, it’s for a family.
You do not drink the egg whites in the carton, it's for cooking egg whites and the yoke is removed because some people cannot eat yokes. They also sell yokes in a carton for the same reason.
Some of the health nuts at my last workplace insisted on egg white omelets for breakfast from the employee canteen. A woman I worked with liked egg whites, spinach and feta.
Sometimes I wish he would Google things as he watched it lol He's so funny
Egg whites are also for whipping meringue for pies etc because it takes several whites.
My father was allergic to egg yolks. However, if it was cooked into something like a cake, he was fine.
*yolks A yoke is a different thing
"How many different flavors?" All of them. We have all the flavors, Lew.
No, *Japan* has all the flavors. America only has the flavors that at least one person somewhere on the planet might ever actually voluntarily eat. We don't have e.g. the buttered-watermelon-Pepsi-milk flavor, the mayonnaise-tuna-corn-pizza flavor, the red-bean-paste-and-green-tea-cake flavor, etc., literally ad nauseam.

There is special boxes for newspaper. I guess its not everywhere but at my parents house they have a special box for the paper. Here they just throw it in the driveway. Hardly anybody gets the paper anymore anyway when you can read it all online.
And, absolutely, No One gets prosecuted for it. 😂😂
That is so weird. And it it sounds so rude. Like people just throw stuff around yk. That's insane ngl. 😂
Lewis Americans from back in the day (my day anyways I’m 70) had a saying “Variety is the spice of life “, our manufacturers took it seriously 😅😅😅 .
It just hit me that the reason ALDI still requires you to put in a quarter to get a cart is because it's a German company!
Oh i didnt know that
Canada too
Oh didn’t know that interesting 😮
gotta remember Americans don't go to the shop every day or 2, we buy all we need for the whole family about every 2 weeks often once a month
3 weeks for me, with a little "fill in" shopping for perishable stuff like milk and bread.
My German mother always went grocery shopping everyday!
Same here. Very rarely does anyone do a daily market. Americans just shop differently so the sizes are different, and frankly, you need a car to do it.
True. Our refrigerators are much larger in the USA. And some people have 2 or more refrigerators.
My grand daughter has 2 large ones at her mother's house (one with regular family food in the kitchen, one with drinks and ice only in the garage). AND 5, yes 5 mini frigs in each bedroom! Yeah.....I don't get it either🙄
@@Millieshin-yj5mb if you live in a house (rather than an apartment) the standard seems to be a fridge/freezer combo, and a standalone freezer.
With a decent number also having a mini-fridge.
Like most things in America, the packages are so large because they are meant to be shared or eaten over time, not all at once. Its the same with our restaurant portion sizes; a lot of people take whatever they don't eat home to eat the next day. It harkens back to our frontier culture when people would go to town and stock up on/store a lot of goods all at once. It's also why our refrigerators are so big.
Our habits are different from the Europeans. We don't food shop daily as many of them do. We tend to do it weekly. This explains why we have such large refrigerators; we store more food for later.
@@johnhouchins3156 Which really, REALLY comes in handy if there is any sort of emergency. We have at least a few days food on hand.
Yeah, American's have this "Everyone must be fat in America" vide because we don't shop like Europeans. Our packaging is typically larger not because we sit an eat an entire bag at a time. It's because we buy for weeks at a time. A family size bag of chips in our household usually lasts a week or 2. Our cities are also built around car culture. There aren't a lot of places outside of major cities that have walking distance to shops. So, we like one stop shopping where we can get everything, we need without having to go out every other day.
Edit - Ralphs is owned by Kroger. Which is the largest specifically grocery chain in the US.
This. That bucket of red vines could last me a month
@@SkycometFallen it would last me a lifetime nobody got time for a knock off twizzler 🤢
I'm convinced England/Europe has no concept of office or household parties. We're always buying veggie/cheese platters for some gathering. Even bring them for like the kids soccer practice for them to nibble on during games. Having a presentation or long day of meetings? Veggie tray! Got people coming over? Veggie tray! Going to a dinner party? Veggie tray!
Lewis, I really get a kick out of how much you mention that it is so surprising the way we Americans talk with each other as strangers. That is totally routine for us. We strike up casual conversation with anyone, anywhere. 💯😎
True
I'm very much like that
I tried to explain the other day when in a hospital elevator with me & a relative in a wheelchair, and two other wheelchair-bound and two "pushers." In just a few floors, the wheelchair folks were having a conversation while the standing pushers were having another. In a stressful situation like a hospital! We're just friendly people, trying to make your day a little better.

@@revgurley you do have to "read the room" though, if the first attempt at light conversation doesn't take, leave it be.
Depends on the area tbh. I'm from the Alabama/Georgia area. In Alabama or small towns in Georgia, this is the norm. It was such a culture shock at how "rude" I perceived people in Atlanta the first time I went.
We definitely have Haribo and Kinder. He said not every store has them but where I’m from you can find them literally everywhere.
My area you could always find kinder, but Haribo is impossible to find.
You can only find Kinder by me. It's one of my favorite candy bars. That's because they have fewer carbs & taste so good!( Never heard of Haribo.at all!
candy bars
I live in a smallish town in California with one big grocery store. We have so many choices of British foods and snacks. Kinder, Tim Tams, Haribo, British teas, HP sauce, Heinz beans, Digestives biscuits... I always laugh at these types of videos when they act like us Americans have no idea.
Same. Not sure where he’s from in California, but there’s definitely Haribos at Walgreens 😂 Think I’ve also seen Kinders there, too
M&M--Red are peanut butter, Yellow is peanut, purple are dark chocolate (and dark chocolate with peanuts--gotta read to see which), brown is caramel mocha, light blue is crunchy cookie, light brown is almond (my favorite). Dark brown are the normal ones. Love M&Ms. As for strangers talking, Texas, that's a thing here. Always talking to folks.
I forget what color but my daughter bought one that had brownies in some and peanuts in others. They were gross. I was so disappointed
The peanut butter ones are my favorite.
I think that red one is peanut butter m&m’s
It's a thing practically everywhere.
The lady is cracking me up. She gets so much joy seeing things. Like the Arizona tea she went a little crazy happy
You are never going to truly understand until you come to America and actually explore and go to big towns and small towns. Can’t wait, make sure you film it all. 👍
I am sure your viewers across the country would welcome you into their homes to experience American life too!
The red bag is actually orange. Its peanut butter M&M's. They're delish.
Finally competing with Reese's Pieces...
They are my favorite.
@@ronclark9724 Two different things. Resses Pieces is candy coated roasted peanut butter, and Peanut Butter M&Ms are candy coated chocolate and normal peanut butter.

I grew in Pennsylvania about 3 hours away from the city of Hershey. Yes, it was named Hershey because it was initially started out as a village for all the Hershey employees. Now it's a really cool place with streets lined with street lights that look like Hershey's Kisses and you can get a chocolate beer in every bar. They even have a big amusement park, Hershey Park, with fantastic rollercoasters. You can even do the Hershey's Chocolate Tour...and it's FREE!
Yes he was a very cool guy. Really gave back to the community and created lots of jobs.
This is a regular Grocery Store in the US. Size too.
Yep. Ralph's isn't considered high end. It's a normal middle class grocery store.
I retired from working at a grocery store easily twice the size in Wisconsin. You'd be amazed at the variety
This is a regular grocery store, Lewis. Not like that high end gourmet grocery store you saw the other time.
Spot on? Not everyone lives in Newport Beach, California...
So Lewis, there’s two prices on most things. If you buy one the price is high then another price will be much lower if you buy two, three or four of that item. The prices are high in California right now because gas and diesel is so high. It then carries over to your groceries. When gas and diesel is low food prices are really low, if gas and diesel is high food cost goes up!
All our grocery prices have gone up since covid and inflation. My grocery bill has practically doubled!
The packages are big because they’re for a family to eat. Not an individual serving.
I like how he says the bread isnt as fresh as in germany......there is a literal bakery in the store. They make bread, muffins, donuts and cakes....everyday, fresh.
Also, taco flavor doritos were also the og flavor.
HEB in Texas literally makes everything in front of you.
Taco doritos my sisters fav.
When Doritos first came out they were just Doritos. There were no special flavors until a year later, when they came out with taco flavor.
I haven’t been able to find taco flavored Doritos in forever. They were my fav but stores don’t seem to keep them in stock.
Taco flavor are the best!
When she said that it was a fat chess pallet he just let her think that. Instead of telling that people buy those for snacks at large gatherings.
I know! Those are for parties. It's not meant to be a meal!
Fat chess pallet?? What? Is this a voice to text fail?
It's the spell check that's inserting the wrong words in the sentence. I really don't like it. I have to constantly read over what I type before I send anything. As far as I'm concerned, it's a pain in the butt! It was supposed to be cheese not chess.
No their words for it just mean fat chess pallet. IE fat = large in this case.

They call it Hersey's kisses because that's what the machine sounded like when making the candy.
Gatorade was invented at the University of Florida in the 60s for their football team, the Gators.
Better than water for electrolyte and fluid balance & avoid heat stress / heat stroke in the FL heat
Yes, and they found out the formula aided in the rehydration and replenishment of electrolytes, hence the name Gatorade. And then speaking of which, there's a variety of Gatorade now called Gatorlyte which is billed as a rapid rehydration formula. I had the cherry lime flavored one the other night and it was very good.
I didn't know that!
I mix the lemon-flavor Gatorade with Coca Cola. Half-and-half in a glass. May be some people would think that's strange but I like it.
@@KS-ip5xn they have lucozade in the UK, and it’s literally the same thing but healthier lol
With the candy sizes in grocery stores, large multi packs and "family size" items like what they were looking at are located in a grocery isle. But they also sell the regular single serving sizes, they're just typically located near the registers/tills at the front of the store.
I am a senior citizen and the government of Oklahoma provides me with 14 ready to eat meals a week for free. Very good. I only eat twice a day.
If you get a chance when you’re over here, buy a box of peanut butter Cap’n Crunch, and have a serving of it. Follow the milk, constructions, and everything and let it soak up some of the milk. It is one of the best breakfast cereals from when I was a kid, like he said you can only have it in moderation, but it’s worth it
In Chicago when I was a kid the Tribune printed both a morning and an evening paper Monday through Friday. I delivered the evening papers on my bike when I was in 7th grade. I had one old gentleman who always stood on his third floor outside balcony waiting for me. If I could throw the paper to him on the first try he would toss me down a quarter. If it took two tries he would toss me down a dime. If I had to walk it up to him he would hand me a nickel. Then I had a number of newspapers to deliver in an apartment complex. I would ring this one woman's bell and she would buzz me into the complex. I delivered her paper first and she handed me a dollar bill every day Monday through Friday. Close to Christmas time many people on my paper route gave me envelopes with a Christmas card and money inside. It was a great job for a kid back then!
In New Orleans at least thru the 80's, there was a morning and evening paper. To distinguish the two, the evening paper's first sheet was a light green.
When I was younger we had the morning and evening, some papers were thrown but in some neighborhoods and rural areas you would have a Paper box or two mounted next to your mail box usually with the news papers logo on it.
@@kurtjohnson6464 There's a game called "GeoGuesser" or maybe just "GeoGuess" and the object of the game is to figure out what state you were dropped in. You move around just like Google Maps (what it's actually based off of) and look at different things nearby. You're actually looking at the pics the Google cars take for Google maps. Sometimes they're clear, most of the time they're not. If I see those newspaper boxes next to a mailbox, I try to zoom in to see if I can read the city that's usually part of the name, like "Denver Post", etc. If I see it, THEN I can almost always tell what state the game dropped us in. Ends up being a lot faster and easier than trying to find the name of a city or state on a billboard or highway sign, though those work well, too.
Egg WHites in a carton is eggs separated into just the white and no yolks so you can just pour them into a pan to cook.

there are 'crumbly', 'soft' and 'chunk' cookies from Chip's Ahoy. the 'soft' ones are great when you microwave them for a few seconds (like 10 secs for around 5 cookies). it makes them taste like cookies right out of the oven. and the 'chunk' cookies are the 'crumbly' or 'soft' cookies with large 'chunks' of chocolate or peanut butter or both in the cookie instead of small pieces.
they have also come out with other flavors like 'red velvet cake' and others.
Just FYI, we do have Nestle pure water bottles here, but we pronounce it NES-LEE

Haribo opened its first US factory in Wisconsin in early '23 so I hope they plan to add gummies to our shelves that you can only find abroad.
Kinder too. People mistakenly think Kinder was banned, we just don’t get the Kinder Surprise with the toy inside the chocolate because it falls into a banned category.

the way most store shelfing system works is that similar products are shelved near each other (chips, milk, cheese, ect) and then by brand, then by flavor, then by size. the sizes are smallest is higher of the selves and larger is near the bottom of the shelves.
Also, there is psychology at play, as many products for children are at a lower level to be within line of sight of children to encourage them to desire those products and products for adults are higher on the selves in line of sight of adults to do the same...
I just stumbled across this page today, my new favorite on TH-cam! Dude, your expressions are funny AF! Best ever...
Coors and Bud are lawnmower beer. It's what you drink after you've mown the lawn in 100F weather. You can slam it down.

Ralph's is owned by Kroger's and is a moderate to high cost store in California. There is also a lower priced store owned by Kroger called Food 4 Less. More basic options but all the same Kroger store-brand items.
In grocery stores here the individual sized candy packages are found near the check-out stands. The candy aisle has the larger packages. You will find the Kinder eggs and a bigger selection of Haribo in other stores, such as drugstores, convenience stores, and the big-box stores.
You don't drink the egg whites. You use them to make yolk-free eggs or for making meringue.
The variations of foods are because we are a big, diverse population and like choice. But also it is a good way to get people to buy things they don't normally buy, to try something new.
The red-orange M&M bag are the peanut butter ones.
The plant based meats honestly depends the brand, some taste good and some don't; the impossible brand does taste like processed meat, which is what it's supposed to taste like.
White Claw are Hard Seltzers, carbonated flavored water mixed with hard alcohol, a seltzer by itself is just a kind of carbonated water.
In Alcohol consumption by liter per capita, the UK beats the US by a country mile. You gotta remember that although we have quite a few drinkers here, we also have many many counties in the US (especially in the South) that are dry, meaning they do not sell alcohol anywhere in the country. You can buy it, but it's gonna be a drive. Left over teetotalers from the Prohibition Era.

One of my favorite memories of Sunny D was when I went grocery shopping with my dad as a kid and he told me to get orange juice. I came back with Sunny D. He told me to put it back and get actual orange juice. He said Sunny D was "belly wash". I still have no idea what that means but it always makes me laugh.
I used to like it until I met someone who used to work for the company. 🤢
that stuff always gave me a massive case of heartburn.
Kool aid used to come in small envelope packages of several flavors of unflavored powder that would make 2 quarts. The packet recipe called for 1 cup of sugar to be added. Our family preferred to add just 1/2 cup of white granulated sugar. Later, the factory added process sugar and sold kool aid in large plastic containers of premixed powder in limited flavors. I use about half the amount of powder as the package calls for. Occassionally you can still find the envelopes, now they offer small squirt bottles of kool aod concentrate that you can add to a bottle of water.
Those candy packets are massive because they're in the main part of the store and are meant as share bags. Most stores (there are well known exceptions) have individual sized candies up front next to the checkout registers.
What is this thing you call "share". That's one serving. :-)
They used to put the newspaper in a plastic bag so they didn't get wet when it rained. You got s paper delivered if you got a subscription and paid for it. It was great!
They still do.
@@LoriWellman To be fair, the paperboy often has to pay for the plastic bags AND do the bagging himself. Where I lived for 40 years, the paper was only bagged on days when it was raining, or likely to rain. Our paperboy even sometimes put a little envelope in the newspaper for donations to help him continue to pay for those newspaper bags.
I live in Connecticut and live in the country. I still get my newspaper delivered daily and in a plastic sleeve if it is raining.
Lewis, this may blow your mind... but there are 13 different varieties of M&Ms. FYI, the RED bag is Peanut Butter Milk Chocolate. At Walmart, a 46 gram bag is $1.32. The 487 gram bag is $7.48.

as I'm sure you know. bread loafs in Europe have a hard outer shell. this allows them to sit out and last longer before they start to mold. in the U.S. our loafs can have a slightly harder outer shell, but it's no where near the hardness of European bread, thus it molds much faster. Thus, we tend to sell and use it much fresher than in European stores. Breads can only sit for a few (like 3 or 4 at most) days before being taken off the shelf. We also label the bread and other 'freshly made' products with the 'made date' that tells you when it was made so that you know if it's sat for too long on the shelf.
Yeah, he definitely thought it was stale because it was soft. A lot of Americans just don't like hard crusts on their bread so soft bread is very common.

15 years ,up until 3 years ago. Here in Lawton Oklahoma. I had to put it on the doorstep. I couldn't just throw it out, The window and I delivered 350 papers every night 7 days a week until COVID and then I finally got 2 days off. We are considered contractors so I could only get a day off if I paid someone to do my routes. Rain snow or the heat.We had to make sure everyone got their paper even today. Here in Oklahoma, it could be 90° at 2 in the morning. I'm German, so it's also cool seeing this reaction. You keep up the great work much love from Lawton Fort Sill Oklahoma. Ps I did make good money doing that plus no one bothered you just had to worry about straight dogs. Lol
Pudding in America is similar to a custard but it is made with just milk instead of milk and egg yolks. It is usually thickened with corn starch. The cups he was showing were pudding cups. Jello is a brand name that makes gelatin and pudding. Jello became synonymous with gelatin in the US. I know they call it jelly in the UK. What we call dessert is what the UK refers to as pudding. I know that would be confusing for you.
Ruffles is like Lays (or Walkers), but with ridges instead of being a smooth chip. Very different texture and crunch.
The thing to know about the US is that just about every city will have high-end grocery stores that are mostly organic and higher end products that are more expensive, the same city will have grocery stores that are a mix of organic and budget options, and grocery stores that are mostly budget and mass-produced foods, and then there are bulk grocery stores (Costco & Sam's Club). This means you can find foods based on your budget. If someone is lower income then they can get "food stamps" a type of cash equivalent that can be used to buy groceries and are awarded monthly. In my experience, the portion sizes of grocery foods in the US are much larger than Europe or Asia which may also account for the higher prices in some of these videos.
To be fair regarding the bread, they are visiting a grocery store that sells EVERYTHING, and visiting in the afternoon.
Bread is fresh when the store opens....
And it was sourdough bread which I think is more firm. Doesn't raise as much.
Whenever you’re here, try apple butter. Especially if you can get it from a local orchard. It’s amazing.

It is against Federal law for anyone other than the owner of the mailbox or a postal employee to put or remove anything from a mailbox without prior permission from the owner.
It’s actually illegal for the person living at the address to allow anyone to put something in their mailbox. The postal service usually turns a blind eye to this but anything other than postage paid mail is illegal. Even though you provide the mailbox it’s not yours it’s considered federal property.

I’m plant based. Impossible tastes just like beef in my opinion. Grocery stores in the US have a good amount of plant based alternatives but restaurants don’t often have options, whereas the UK had a ton of vegan options at restaurants. California also has a lot more vegan friendly restaurants than other areas of the country
Lol.. If there is the slightest chance for rain the paper is put in a plastic sleeve and tied so the paper does not get wet. You do not drink egg whites in a carton.. You can scramble them in a skillet.. for scramble eggs.. you can bake with egg whites

I just made macaroons and used egg whites in a carton because I didn't want to separate a half dozen egg whites from the yolk.
Bottled still water, especially spring water, is far superior in taste to most cities' tap water.
Chlorine for disinfection and possibly of a lot of dissolved minerals have made tap water less palatable.
We have a reverse osmosis drinking water filter system that feeds the water/ice in the fridge door and a tap at the side of the kitchen sink, but that one is used mostly for cooking.
I consider tap water just washing water.
Mousse has more air in it and is more of a foam. Pudding is more similar to custard, but differs in terms of how it is thickened. (Pudding is thickened using cornstarch, which allows it to be made much more quickly, and I don't just mean the "instant" kind; even homemade from-scratch pudding can be made in 15-20 minutes. Custard doesn't use the starch, so it needs a much longer cooking time to thicken.)
Almonds (like most kinds of nuts, tbh) are considerably more expensive than peanuts. I assume it has to do with the difficulty of efficiently harvesting them in large quantities for the commercial market. Peanuts are easy: harvesting equipment just scoops up the whole layer of topsoil that the peanuts grow in, and runs it through some kind of sieve or grate; the holes are just a little too small for the peanuts to go through, but the soil falls through and is returned to the field, and the peanuts don't fall through and are collected. Tree nuts fall into two categories. The ones that are relatively affordable (but not as cheap as peanuts), are the ones like almonds and pecans that can be harvested by laying out a tarp, shaking the tree with a massive vibration apparatus, and then collecting everything that falls onto the tarp. The ones that have to be picked by hand, are more expensive. Cashews are a special case: they drop on their own when fully ripe.
The separated egg whites or yolks, in the carton, are principally for use in recipes that only call for one or the other, e.g., egg yolks are used in pudding and custard and some types of rich cake desserts; egg whites are used in meringue, types of cake that want to be bright white (e.g., angelfood cake, wedding cake), among other things. Since the product exists, there are also people who use them in other ways, e.g., in omelettes; and because there are eight billion people on this rock and some of them are weird, there are even people who just drink them, because of course there are. But the main use is in recipes.
Sunny D has always tasted extremely artificial. It's basically just water, high-fructose corn syrup, yellow-orange food coloring, artificial flavoring, and maybe some citric acid and/or vitamin C. My sister loves it.

My kids are grown now and still talk about how quickly they'd jump out of bed to get ready for school when they smelled fresh muffins or cinnamon rolls in the air lol.
Great. Most of us don't have the time or want to spend it that way. Choices: we make them every day.
$450 to almost $500 every two weeks for groceries is the norm. Used to be about $250 to nearly $300 every two weeks, but the prices went up. This is for a family of three plus pets.
When you go to the checkout line, they have regular sized candy. When you're at the grocery store in the regular aisles that's where you find the family-sized candy section. Or if you go to a convenience store or a gas station you're going to find regular-sized candy. And there are regular size portions of all the other food. A lot of the times they make family size portions of food and they are massive but if you're just shopping for yourself you're never going to buy those large items because you would have to have a massive freezer and massive refrigerator to store all that food. And you couldn't eat it fast enough.
Don't know when this was filmed but alot of the chips are now almost 5.00$ !
I just saw Cool Ranch Doritos for $6.59 at Albertsons today. It was on sale. 😅
Eggs in a carton are for cooking. The yolks are removed for people who can't eat yolks.
The vodka you said was massive is actually the medium sized bottles here🤣 Egg whites are used for making whipped toppings on desserts as well. Yes we have Nestle water, tea, cocoa etc. seltzer is carbonated water, the ones that you know of are the alcohol versions.
I can't wait to see your video from the states. You will go nuts shopping and going out to the bars. :)
That crystal alpine spring water six pack is available for $1.25 at the DOLLAR TREE 😂
What you thought as moose is actually a similar consistency to custard, which is what we refer to as pudding. There are so many different flavors of pudding from vanilla to chocolate, butterscotch, and many more. Great reaction, thank you for sharing.
Speaking of puddings, you should give Rice (with cinnamon) and Tapioca puddings a try. Delicious!
mousse* (Sorry, OCD. "Moose" is an animal, "Mousse" is what Lew was thinking of.)

'reusable' bags are common now along with paper bags and plastic bags that nearly every store usually has. a few decades ago started the 'reuse, recycle, repurpose' craze that was heavily promoted by environmental groups. so now nearly every home as at least a few cloth type bags that can be used for shopping.
Our town has made single use plastic bags illegal. They used to be all over as little so... Yay! I've been using cloth bags for shopping for decades now. If you forget there are still paper bags to be had or reusable ones right there at the register is you want to buy those instead.
Newspapers can be delivered to a newspaper box or tube next to your mailbox on the street, so in the long run those houses were easier to deliver to by car. Newspapers often are put in plastic bags to keep dry in rain. We didn't have such bags back in my day of a newspaper route in the 1970s, and I had to walk up to each house and make sure the newspaper was out of the rain, and in placed exactly where the customer wanted it. The Sunday paper was huge, full of ads, and I was lucky, my father would drive me around, but the rest of the week I walked the route, and there were hills, and YES, I did walk up hill in the snow, each winter for three years.... ha ha ha .
6:08 Jelly Belly sells a roulette game. You spin an arrow to choose the color bean. The bean either has a good or bad flavor, and they look the same, so you can't tell which is which. For example, the brown jelly bean could be chocolate pudding or dog food. The speckled green bean is a juicy pear or booger, etc.
Most burger king fast food locations have a machine that dispenses 165 different different drinks from the Coca-Cola brand, and you are free to mix them.
The red bag of M&M's are my favorite. They have peanut butter inside. So tasty!
Potato Salad and Mashed Potatoes are two completely different things. The only thing they have in common iswhat they are primarily made from
23:28 - If you ASK for sparkling water with bubbles in the US, people are going to treat you like you are FANCY 😂
If you get Welch's gape jelly and jiff peanut butter don't forget to wash it down with a glass of milk. The amazon uk does have Welch's grape jelly. Please don't get jam.
Jiffy extra crunchy peanut butter 🥜
As for PB&J sandwiches, I say go with whatever flavor of jam or jelly or marmalade you like (my fave is apricot jam), but Skippy Extra Crunchy peanut butter is better than Jiffy (too sweet). I also reduce the calories by making them open-faced. Who needs extra bread?
And for something a bit different try a good peanut butter on bread with a glass of V-8 tomato cocktail is very nice.
I like jam better! Especially raspberry & strawberry with smooth Jiff on toast. 😊
Seltzer is sparkling water. Truly and White Claw are seltzer with alcohol in it. It has become very popular in the last 5+ years.
My first job when I was 10 was to deliver newspapers on my bike. The route I got started with 9 houses that were clustered around a small lake peninsula, i grew the route to 42 houses and 20 miles. I enlisted my little sister to do 1/2 the miles and 1/4 of the houses. We made sure to place the newspaper between the storm door and the secure door unless the customer requested the paper be left in their mail box or paper tube located under the mail box. I pedaled that route every day after school and every sunday morning. My dad would drive us around the route on if the weather was 20F or colder (-6.66c) or raining hard with lightning. My dad had to convince the paper that I would dova good job.
