America... Why?

I meet all kinds of people at Disney. All kinds. Many of them are from overseas, which is awesome! But I've recently made it a point to ask anyone I come across that is not from America this question: "What is the strangest thing about America?" 

And my oh my, the answers I have gotten. 

Here is a list: 

1. We are obsessed with pickles.

2. We clap for anything and everything. 

3. We are too nice. A family from England was driving through Tennessee, and apparently they got lost. This nice person offered to drive to the location they were trying to get to and have them follow. Come to find out later, it was completely opposite of where the nice Tennessee resident was originally going. 

4. Why don't we eat a lot of Mayonnaise? Mayonnaise is everything. Mayonnaise is life.

5. Liquid tea is not a thing overseas apparently. In fact, it's considered disgusting. Like all the tea "over there" is made from tea bags, tea leaves, tea whatever. But it never comes in a liquid.

6. The amount of flavor in our food is apparently explosive. We can't just let the food be... we have to add as much seasoning as we can.

7. We had a national breakdown when Twinkies went away... let that sink in, America. 

8. Overall, meat is present in every single meal. Every. Single. One.

9. Football. American football isn't played with feet... so why is it called football? Why not tackle ball or brown lemon-shaped ball? 

10. We talk funny.

11. Our bacon is not bacon... it's flavored pieces of paper. England's is as thick as our steak.

12. "Your children are obese. Fix that." (direct quote) 

And there we have it. The view of America through the eyes of a foreigner.
