“American Football is without a doubt the best sport on Earth. Harder hits, more athleticism and much more cerebral than rugby, soccer or AFL. That sport was great enough to inspire me to travel across the globe and build a holiday around the concept of getting to see my Packers play live just once.”

“The fact that yelling ‘yee-haw’ in a country setting will almost always be met with whooping, hollering, and other ‘yee-haw’s. I live in the US, but am from Ireland. I live in Arizona.”

“Americans can be very upbeat. The casual good mood when it comes to business is so refreshing compared to the always negative swiss/german opinions.”

“For me hands down it has to be milkshakes. Oreo milkshakes are the god dammn best thing that I have experienced when I came to America (I’m from Mexico). It can be midnight and I can just go to a fast food place and order any milkshake I want. It’s so simple but it sure is amazing.”

“Saying this as a Canadian I’ve always found Americans to genuinely be so friendly. Depends on the place but in some places I’ve found the people to be friendlier than those back home in Canada. Phoenix, San Diego, Las Vegas and the entire state of Hawaii were places I found to have really friendly people. Some places weren’t this way but I won’t list them.”

“They’re friendly and invite you to stuff. Maybe it’s not 100% genuine, but at least they pretend to like you while figuring out of they like you or not.”

“That it’s not unusual to air condition your home, nobody bats an eye. Germans are so penny pinchers when it comes to that. It’s a big deal if you have home A/C.”

“This depends a bit on where in the US you are and also in the pre-covid times, but Americans hug a lot compared to Asians and it makes me feel really fuzzy on the inside.”

“Americans I’ve met are usually a delight to talk to. Very upbeat and talkative from my experience. I still remember a conversation I had with a small family who were on holiday where I live. They basically told me their life story and what they were up to that day. Didn’t know them but it made my commute home more interesting.”
Elderlico
“Such amazing food, and even better food service. The American restaurant experience is truly heaven.”
ShrekTheHallz
“What I loved about Americans I met is the encouragement to try new things. Like: ‘Just go for it. If it works, great. If it doesn’t, you gained experience.'”

cars originated in the U.s, but different countries still have different brands.
Actually is was Daimler and Benz, Mercedes is a product name.
The truth is that there were breakthroughs all over the world around the same time. Benz was the first to patent a combustion engine design and Ford was the first to mass produce a factory built car - both very big differences from inventing the car. There were many different automobiles in use all over the world, including electric and steam powered, long before Benz and Ford, all of which laid the foundation for modern cars. As early as the 17th century, China was using steam powered automobiles for personal transportation on roadways regularly - like in the 1600s. That’s pretty incredible. So there were important contributions from all over the world that eventually led to modern cars.
You probably think frankfurters originated in Frankfurt, too!
You’ve obviously never eaten at Denny’s!
...Seatle s#cks, been 'ere, done that.
