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.
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.
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!
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?
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 👍
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
28:01 I swear you always crack me up! To me that's just some random ass parking lot and here you are with stars in your eyes talking about how the colors pop! That is just so stinking cute!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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:)
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.
@@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!
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.
@@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
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.
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.
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
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....
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
@@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.
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 ! 😂
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 massive size packages of candy are in the grocery store aisles. But you can get the smaller 'single serving' sizes at convenience stores, gas stations, or on rack near the larger store checkout lines.
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.
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.
The fruit and cheese platters are for when you're too lazy to make one for a party where everyone brings food they just pick one up from the store. Or for those people who don't feel like cutting them all up. And like to have healthy choices of snacks in the fridge.
You know what's better than machines that give you money for recycling bottles? There are machines that drop cat and dog food into bowls for the street dogs when you put a recycle bottle in.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
Throwing newspapers onto driveways: Yup, that's a thing. Either that or a separate box under the mailbox at the end of the driveway. We often have LOOOOOOONG driveways and the news corporations are not going to hire extra newspaper delivery guys to bake in all that extra walking time, nor are they going to pay a higher wage for extra work. For newspapers, getting the morning edition out is VERY important, so time is crucial for them. Customers almost always will find their newspaper delivered before they woke up and crawled out of the house. :P
It s something I did in 4th grade, Im 71 now. It is a disappearing job. At some time someone realized that having children throwing papers and collecting money was liability. So now it is adults in cars. And papers are trying to go away from the physical paper. But it is still a thing, Mine now only delivers on Friday and Sunday.
@@GodelFishbreath Advertising revenue is down with the internet, and thus newspapers have to cut costs. The newsprint costs more than the retail price of the newspaper and they made their huge profits with advertising, marketing... I recall in my youth throwing papers on my route the newspaper had contests to have one hundred penetration, every home and apartment... Those days have gone with the wind...
Yes, it's IN the movies because that makes the movie MORE REALISTIC because it actually happens. I helped one of my friends do their route sometimes (it was an afternoon released paper) they were on their own w/ the morning route (NOT a 'morning person' ever) No it's for when you need egg whites for a recipe. Or eggs too come pourable. (but scrambled up - tho I think, mostly that's egg substitute? Ruffles are a ridged (tight ridges) potato chip, often w/ various flavor profiles. Gross mean huge in German. She doesn't mean EWWW... just "omg it's so big!" Ok... here's the break down: Seltzer Like club soda, seltzer is water that has been carbonated. Given the similarities between them, you can use seltzer as a substitute for club soda in cocktail mixers. However, seltzer generally doesn’t contain added minerals, which gives it a plainer taste - although this may depend on the brand. Seltzer originated in Germany, where naturally occurring carbonated water was bottled and sold, before taking off in the United States. Club soda Club soda is water that’s carbonated by injecting it with carbon dioxide gas, or CO2, then infused with added minerals. Minerals commonly added to club soda include: potassium sulfate sodium chloride disodium phosphate sodium bicarbonate The amounts of minerals depend on the manufacturer. These minerals may enhance the flavor of club soda by giving it a slightly salty taste. Sparkling mineral water Unlike club soda or seltzer, sparkling mineral water is naturally carbonated. Its bubbles come from a spring or well with naturally occurring carbonation. Spring water contains a variety of minerals, such as sodium, magnesium, and calcium. However, the amounts vary based on the source from which the spring water was bottled. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), mineral water must contain at least 250 parts per million (ppm) of dissolved solids - which include minerals and trace elements - from the bottling source (3Trusted Source). The mineral content of water may change the taste significantly. That’s why each brand of sparkling mineral water typically has a unique taste. Some producers further carbonate their products by adding carbon dioxide, making them even bubblier. Tonic water Tonic water has the most unique taste of all four beverages. Like club soda, it is carbonated water with added minerals. However, tonic water also contains quinine, a compound isolated from the bark of cinchona trees that gives this drink its bitter taste (4Trusted Source). Tonic water was historically used to prevent malaria in tropical areas where the disease was prevalent. As such, it used to contain significantly higher amounts of quinine (4Trusted Source). Today, quinine is only present in small amounts to give tonic water its bitter taste, which is commonly masked by sweetening it with either high fructose corn syrup or sugar (4Trusted Source). This beverage is often used as a mixer for cocktails, especially those including gin or vodka. Trippy, huh?
We have Lunchables with little pizzas, sandwiches, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, cheese and crackers (with ham or turkey), and even a dessert pizza with chocolate icing and little M&M like candies.
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
Not all American cereal is sugary. There's a vast variety, and they range from very sweet kids cereal, less sweet, to purely healthy. People with things like high cholesterol will eat just egg whites (which you cook). But also, you can use them in baking or especially making something not cooked, since it is pasteurized, so no worry of something like salmonella.
Yes we have Haribo & Kinder. Red bad of M&M's are Peanut butter. We have a lot of flavors of Takis. Seltzer is disgusting water. HARD Seltzer is alcohol....& its all 'wine based'.
