    MARS in the US was founded by Franklin Clarence Mars. The company is still owned by the Mars family. At some point, there was a disagreement between Mars and his son Forrest Mars. Forrest moved to the UK and began his own candy company making copies of his father's American candies. FYI, the British Mars Bar is virtually an exact copy of the American Milky Way bar. The same applies to several other MARS UK products. Oh, I should mention that Mars is now "M&M/Mars."

      In the '90s I had a Brit co-worker smugly tell me that our National Anthem was based on a British drinking song. I told her that it was so common former British subjects could remember it (true). She was further scandalized when I told her that we have our own patriotic song to the tune of "God Save the Queen." It was queen at the time. I proceeded to sing a few bars of America the Beautiful. Very satisfying to see the look of horror on her smug face. We were in Alexandria, VA at an historic tavern. I live here and she clearly underestimated the historic education one gets from that. Yes, our anthem was written by Francis Scott Key in Balitmore during the war of 1812, but the British roots were only about 35 years past. We won that war, too. Just sayin'.

    Bottled tea is a relatively recent development. Everyone I know who makes iced tea at home makes it from hot tea, brewed with tea bags, then chilled; that way, you can control the strength and sweetness. Plenty of hot tea drinkers here, too. Not as much a part of the culture, as in Britain, of course, but there are more here than you might think. And not every American likes coffee!

      This really should hammer home that people lie and tell others the same lies, so never accept words as true when spoken. Always accept the info and verify it. That way you're able to learn more than what was said, so when it comes up again you can teach the others what's correct. It's never about being right, rather knowing WHAT is right.

There are Irish soccer players in the Premier League who get threatened for not wearing the poppy.

I got a lot of nasty stares from Brit tourists for wearing the Bleuet de France. But now, I can wear the Poppy because its origins are in the USA, not Britain.

    The Puritans' main complaint about Christmas wasn't the holiday itself, but the way that people spent the day. Christmas celebrations were often an excuse to get drunk and go crazy; basically New Year's Eve for the 17th century. They thought people should spend the time in worship or contemplation of God, not partying, and they felt if they couldn't get people to celebrate "correctly," then it was better to ban the celebrations altogether.

      Actually, they did have a problem with the holiday itself. They saw the pagan origins of holidays, even though the Catholic Church changed them to give them a Christian meaning, and would not celebrate any. If it wasn't in the Bible, they didn't celebrate it and this included personal celebrations like birthdays and anniversaries. The only holiday the Puritans retained from their homeland was the Harvest Home because it was a gathering to thank God for a bountiful harvest.

    Tea in bottles didn’t come around until the 1990’s early 2000’s. Before then me, my mother, grandmother and so on back made iced tea from tea bags. Larger than tea bags made for just a cup of tea. You would boil the water and steep the tea until it was the strength you liked, add the sugar to the hot/warm tea then put it in the fridge to get cold. You must put the sugar in while the water is warm or hot or that sugar just never dissolves. Many many people still make sweet tea that because the bottled tea is crap. Oh, it’s called Almond Joy because the candy bar has almonds in it and Mounds does not.

Because of my age, Santa Claus, courtesy of the Coca Cola Company, was making inroads into the culture but we still had many of my Mother’s ornaments from her childhood and Father Christmas was among them also, along with fancy German ornaments. Of course this stuff was made here and it was still selling strong in the 1950’s. I used to get confused between Santa and Father Christmas. No one ever explained. My Mother was Italian and my Father Irish so we still had our Grandparents traditions too. It was fun.

    American here, I don’t like coffee at all. I’m a tea drinker and use an electric kettle. I’ve been using electric kettles for almost thirty years. My current kettle has multiple temperature settings for different types of tea and a 30 minute keep warm option. Whatever setting I have it on, the water will maintain that temperature. I bought the kettle on Amazon for $30-40. It was over a year ago. My previous kettle stopped working. Different brand. A cheap one from Walmart that lasted about 2 years.
    I drink my black tea with sugar and milk. Yorkshire Gold is my everyday tea. I also have Twinings, some loose leaf teas etc. I’ve always had my black teas with sugar and milk or half and half.
    When I was a newborn/ infant, my mother’s neighbor was British. She invited her over for tea. She made my mother a proper cup of British tea, put milk in it. My mom had never had milk in her tea. The woman told her to try it. After that my mom would only have her tea with milk and sugar. I’ve always had my hot black tea the British way. If it’s an herbal tea, I’ll have it with honey or without honey and zero milk.

      We used to do the ice tea quite often in the summer mostly, sun tea. I liked the mint tea that this one company put out. However, now they quit making it :(. My husbands Aunt made us iced tea using a new machine (at that time). It was pretty good too. I think, but not entirely sure, that it allowed the maker to add as much sugar that they wanted. I guess some used less and some used more?

      Don't know if it's true, but I found something online that says they were named Bounty after New Zealand's Bounty Islands, which was supposedly the source of the cocoanuts during early production. Though looking at where those islands actually are makes me suspect that's not true. The Bounty Islands are way too close to Antarctica to be growing palm trees.

    Actually we do use tea bags to make iced tea. In our homes and even in our restaurants. They are much bigger than your single serve tea bags that I'm guessing are the standard in Britain. But when Americans make iced tea. They don't do so by the cup but rather by the quarts or gallons. So our tea bags are quite a bit larger than for a single cup of tea. Although we do also have those as well. And we also have lose tea leaves too.
    The game you call football in the U.K. that we call Soccer here in the States. Was originally called Soccer first by the British. The United States stuck with the original English name of the sport most likely because of our game of American Football. That we simply refer to as just Football.
    After all Brazil Nuts in Brazil are just called nuts.

    The name Bounty came after because they had to give the copy a new name. Almond Joy has 2 almonds on top. Mounds and Bounty don't.

    That Santa one was a bit of a stretch. Every version (Santa Claus, Father Christmas, Père Noël, etc., etc.) is based on Saint Nicholas who was a Christian bishop from the 4th century in what is now Turkey. Definitely invented by neither the Americans or British. The modern "look" of Santa Claus came from German-American cartoonist Thomas Nast who came up with the look for Harper's Weekly in the 1860s. Nast based his design on descriptions from the poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas” (otherwise known as "Twas The Night Before Christmas") by American writer Clement Clarke Moore.

    First of all Bounty is the British knockoff name of the American candy bar Mounds. Almond Joy is simply a Mounds or Bounty in your case, with a couple of whole almonds added just underneath the chocolate. So that's the two reasons they are not called Bounty here in America. Because that is not their original name. And your Bounty doesn't have a version with almonds.

    Christmas was banned by the Puritans under the Commonwealth because of the holiday's association with drunken debauchery when good Christians should have been reading their Bibles quietly at home. That time is reflected in the Royalist song, "The World Turned Upside Down.". This was also the song played by British troops when they surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia in 1783 during the American Revolution, a bit over a hundred years later.

  • @tinahairston6383
    @tinahairston6383 หลายเดือนก่อน

    We don't call it Bounty because Mounds is the OG. Bounty is the copycat. The Almond Joy has almonds on it so unless you have a Bounty with almonds they're not the same candy bar.
    You're forgetting that we were once upon a time a British colonized land so were a bunch of tea drinkers until we weren't. Iced tea in a bottle did not become a thing until 1983 and the US wasn't the first to manufacture it that way.
    Switzerland
    Ruedi Bärlocher and Martin Sprenger, two employees of the Swiss Bischofszell beverage company, had tried the famous American iced tea and first suggested to produce ready-made iced tea in bottles. In 1983, Bischofszell Food Ltd. became the first producer in the world of bottled ice tea on an industrial scale
    So we most definitely have been using the tea bags as we know them today to make hot cups of tea and iced tea since 1944 when the shape and manufacturing of them changed. The ones for the 40+ years prior were either hand sewn sacks or later made from a tea bag packing machine that was invented in 1929 by (wait for it...) a German company and it's rumored that the loose tea inside was supposed to be taken out of the bag to be brewed and people found it easier to just leave them in because the bags were porous so made it easier, lol.

    "Why not call them bounty" he just said that Mounds came first, so Bounty is the knock off and would be the one that needs to change names. Christmas and Easter are both Pegan holidays that were appropriated into Christian holidays because the Pope wanted Christianity to be the world religion and Christian's had few if any holidays before the 1500's. This is why protestants fled because Christians extremist were a major problem. To this day there still are Christian and Islamic extremists that love to torment others. There are many groups but the KKK and ISIS are probably the most well known.
