Only In Canada?? | Americans React | Loners  

Yes, Canadian Thanksgiving is actually older than the USA's and has nothing to do with Pilgrims.

Thanksgiving was a thing in Canada before it was a thing in the US. It makes more sense to have it in October because that's when the harvest is finished. By November, it'll have snowed in most of Canada.

Wow.... The guy seems very interested and sympathetic. The woman seems disgusted and pathetic. I love the true response but she can %^## her self. No I did not enjoy this one bit. Her Idea of Canada disgusts me. No likes here. Surprised you can even be a couple. I really feel for you dude.

Non-Canadians look at a bag of milk, and wonder Why would you want to keep a liquid in a container with no firm structure? The answer is: Before opening them (snipping off a corner with scissors), we put the bags in these standard (& re-useable) molded plastic jugs that hold them snuggly & securely upright. The advantage to bags is: _much_ less waste packaging than disposable jugs or waxed/plasticky cartons. And by the way, the bags are pretty tough, so they don't leak unless they've _really_ gotten banged around.

I am Canadian and it's called the great White North because it's always covered in snow

The Canadian post offices receive millions of letters Canada wide. There’s nothing greater at Christmastime as when your child receives a letter back from Santa with the help of his elves. Their smiles say it all. To , Santa Claus, North Pole, Hohoho. This is one address that a child never forgets. The American Christmas shows always have children sending letters to Santa.

I'll never understand why non-Canadians think ketchup chips are so strange. Chips are deep fried potato parts just like French fries and what is the most popular condiment for French fries? Ketchup should have been the first and most obvious flavour for chips.

Ketchup chips are actually the 2nd most popular in Canada. The number 1 most popular flavour is All Dressed

I used to drink a lot of milk as a kid and it was in bags. Now I don't drink so much and buy the smaller cartons but I much prefer the bags. For the larger amounts of milk, the bags are way better than the big jugs we used to use in the 70s before metric and the bags came in.

There are very few places that have bagged milk anymore. It's basically just some parts of Ontario and Quebec. In BC they stopped using bagged milk in the 80s

Actually milk in bags is an Eastern Canada thing? We don’t have bags in Alberta , BC or Saskatchewan not Manitoba! I think it’s common in Ontario maybe Quebec again not sure about the Maritimes? Another thing we have not had Pennie’s for 10 to 15 years as it costs almost two cents to make one and people just toss then as they are a nuisance! L

The milk bag is actually placed in a holder and the corner snipped off.

Canadians also tend to enjoy All Dressed chips which is also pretty exclusive to Canada I do believe. It's basically every flavour in one. Not one of my favourite though.

I have never heard a Canadian call chips crisps ever

Canadians also invented Thanksgiving, not America.

"Great White North" was a phrase used by the characters Bob and Doug Mackenzie [Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas] in the SCTV comedy show that ran in the early 1980s. Moranis and Thomas were making fun of the most embarrassing Canadian cultural cliches, and since the show was aired in the U.S., the phrase caught on, even more with Americans than Canadians.

Every summer Lytton BC is often the hottest place in North America. Usually 2 or 3 days a year

I sing my National Anthen in both languages. I am Canadian

Happy birthday! Lol…Lays Ketchup can be found in most stores here in Belgium, but is not so popular.

Milk in bags is only in a couple of provinces, . Bagged milk is considered more environmentally friendly.

If you didn't know, you don't have to live in canada to mail letters to Santa 🎅 I believe he will reply 😅

I'm from Newfoundland, Canada. I've never seen bagged milk in my entire life, I've only seen cartons and maybe a jug of milk

watchmojo is a channel I watched a few times in the past. It is one of the channels that taught me to ignore the top 10 bs.

You can take solace in the fact that ketchup isn't American in origin. Ketchup originates in Malaysia.

I didn't know for a long time that Americans didn't really go into Cuba, obviously I knew about thier past history, we were taught "WORLD" history growing up not just Canadian history, but yes Cuba is one of our favorite destinations to go on holidays

I live in BC and there is a little bit of a tradition for the last ski of the season where everyone skis while dressing for the spring

Coupla benefits of bagged milk - takes up less room in the fridge, easier for little hands (they can pour their own) and you can freeze them. The original reason though was changing from Imperial to Metric.

A Caesar is the quintessential Canadian cocktail

Interesting to hear that you are interested in visiting British Columbia. There is only one rule that us BCers enforce, that is you must never talk about your visit here and how beautiful it is. The reason is that people intend to visit and never go home. Its truly a cross that we have to bare living in this part of the world.

16:00 (Two official languages). Consider this for a moment. As we were unifying our collection of European-founded colonies into a single country, making French an official language alongside English was a concession we had to make to get the French colonies of Quebec to agree to join us. In the USA, the comparable concession was... well... keeping slavery. ...I feel better about having to learn French in school now.

14:31, wow, she actually almost went full smile.

10 empty bags can fit in a pocket but Cartons are huge recycling bulk. Nice video ! Cheers from Beautiful BC.

One of the greatest showcases of the Canadian attitude was Bob and Doug MacKenzie skit on Second City. It was a comedy skit show produced, written by, directed by and acted by Canadians. It was shown in the States which is how they set the length of the show. In Canada however there was about 2 minutes less commercial time than in the States. So they were told to do a recurring skit to cover the extra time and to make sure it was Canadian. This had everyone confused because everything was already Canadian. So as a form of sarcasm they introduced the skit of Bob and Doug MacKenzie aka Tbe Great White North. They would sit around drinking beer, talking about hockey, wearing toques and say eh a lot. It became wildly popular in Canada and spawned the movie Strange Brew

ketchup used to be available in UK along with Marmite.

Milk in bags ensures purity and protects from spoilage between the dairy farm and the home purchasing the milk. It came around when bottle caps could be loosend and the product lost to spoilage.

Canada is the definition of the north,that is why we are called the great white north.

Buddy, you seem to be a happy guy; you young lady seem to be about as happy as a prune. Sorry but you made the whole video look like you were just tolerating it.

I'm from Canada. British Columbia. I'm 50 yrs old and never really seen milk in a bag. Mostly eastern Canada Mostly had that I think

50% of tourists to Cuba are Canadians. There was a bit of a lull during the COVID shutdown, but things are back to normal.

Bagged milk is almost exclusively in Ontario but as a jud we'd get bagged milk from Mac's Convenience stores here in BC

In UK we used write letters to Santa then put them up our open fireplace chimneys,not many open fireplaces now though ❤

Hm, we have ketchup-flavored chips in Germany.🤷‍♂ (And barbecue is not a flavor but a cooking method😅).

15:30 "Why do you put [milk] in a bag?" It's just another type of container. There's a plastic pitcher to drop the bag in for pouring. We have cartons too (glass bottles... not as much. They kind of went away with glass coke bottles). The thing is, the bag milk is usually bought 4L at a time, so it's an economical choice for, say, a family of 4-5 people who go through a lot of milk and aren't so concerned with it spoiling before it can be used up. Also restaurants, who likewise go through a high volume quickly. Bachelors like myself stick to the cartons that can be tightly resealed to stay fresh longer.

In Germany, Thanksgiving is always on a Sunday in October and celebrated in the church-communities.

You should come to BC. The parks are a famous tourist attraction (Banff and Jasper). Northern BC is where I live and Iv'e only been to the Parks a few times

I love bagged milk, it lasts longer and stays fresher longer.

5:00 "Don't think I'd get as cold waist down as waist up." She's right, though it's more like thighs-down. Keeping your core and extremities warm and dry does most of the work keeping you from freezing. The halfway points between? Not as crucial. You notice that mailman isn't running around without his heavy boots and thick coat. Same way you can wear a hat but leave your face exposed (up to a certain point, of course. Trust me, when it actually gets to -30 or lower, that mail carrier will be done up like mummy.)

lol "no one's going skiing like that" people DO go skiing like that here. In the spring it gets warm enough to ski without a jacket or winter gear and there's still snow on the ground. It is a form a physical activity so you do work up a sweat! I've seen guys skiing in their underwear on the slopes.

6:30 "Canadian currency an old term for it is the Loony" Uh... not any older than 1987, as you just heard, that's when we introduced the coin with the loon on it to replace the paper dollar bill. It's still term for the $1 coin itself, but the currency is still and likely always will be "dollars". "Give a bum a looney". "Your car costs $40,000 dollars" and so on...

The $2 coin was also called a “bear buck” but “Twonie” won out

Thanks for your reaction. Why great white north ?--bcs many people think that Canada is frozen all year round, so we got that nickname. ketchup chips=not really ketchup, but more red no. 12 and artificial flavor that taste more like a spice mix than ketchup. For milk in bags, it's more seen in Ontario & Québec provinces, but personally, I use regular cartons. To experience all of this, just cross the border and come visit us. Have a nice day, both of you.

11:35 Maybe go to Cuba before you assume to much about it? (Especially if all you know about it comes through the political filter of USA-based news programs?) Yes, the country on the whole is poor, and there is a fair amount of poverty there (certainly compared to the most of the tourists who can afford to visit the Caribbean on holiday) but their government actually provides a lot of important things free for them that the USA doesn't for their people. Like healthcare, and college. Yeah, you heard me; The two things most likely to drive an American into lifelong, crippling debt are free to all residents in Cuba. You wanna be a doctor? Start studying, because your tuition is on El Presidente!

Santa is from Finland

the most northern part of canada is within the arctic circle ..... the top of California is further north than the most southern part of Canada. temperatures can hit -40C in winter + 40C in the summers. summers are pretty much the same but winter is not the same weather from coast to coast. only 4 or 5 provinces get milk in a bag. and the video was correct for a change

Not sure who created the video you watched, but bagged milk is NOT all over Canada. Back in the 80s it was more common, but these days it's mostly just in Ontario. The rest of the country uses jugs (2L or 4L) or cartons. And that demonstration was hilarious. You NEVER pour the milk INTO the jug -- you put the bag IN the jug, snipped the end with scissors and poured it out that way.

The national anthem was NOT translated to English. The lyrics are two entirely distinct compositions having very little in common.

I agree, ketchup is disgusting. I'm a Canadian who never eats it and I have never tried a ketchup chip. Also I have a client who wears shorts year round. It's very common to see people at the hockey games in Edmonton wearing shorts in the winter.

3:30 You seem very resistant to the idea of ketchup chips. It's not like tossing back a bottle of Heinz straight. Think more... "salty dried tomato". It actually complements the salty potato flavour pretty well, like pasta sauce on spaghetti.

Wow it never surprises me to see an American reaction to something that isn't American :) The shock, (they are so different from us !) Maybe for future generations your education system might include other countries/cultures but we all know that will never happen :) This has been a very rare version of a Canadian and I apologize but Damn it your country has gone to shit over the the last few years and here you are laughing and joking about us? Peace and Love from Canada eh :) sorry :)

12:30 "Canadian Thanksgiving". It's really very simple. Gratitude theme aside, it's a harvest festival, and being farther north, we have a shorter summer and a longer winter. The main harvest season is therefor earlier. That's pretty much it.

Ketchup wasn't invented in the US. It was invented in Asia before your country was created

7:35 The main difference between "V8 juice" and "clamato" is one of them has clams in it. Yeeeaaah... that's not for everyone, in or out of Bloody Marys.

Milk in bags keeps the milk fresh longer as you get like 3 or 4 smaller portion bags in a bigger bag so only a small portion of the milk is exposed to external contaminants. Some people even freeze the extra bags... but those people are weird XD. All in all I prefer the bag method. Bagged milk is not done across the country though I live in Edmonton and bagged milk is not a thing here. Regarding the "Great white north" moniker my assumption is that we just get longer and more severe winters than most a you southern neighbours of ours ^_^. save Alaskans so it just stuck I can assure you we're not "all white" XD

I hate that milk in bags is always on these lists. Most of Canada does not use it.

The BEST part of being Canadian is being able to proudly say that you are NOT American. Canadian children don't get shot at schools. Our elections are administered by a non-partisan federal agency and voters decide the winner, not some 'electoral college'. Our politicians are still forced to resign when caught doing something immoral or illegal. Canadians can go to Walmart, concerts and nightclubs without being shot. Weed is legal.

They failed in the video. The milk bag goes into the plastic containter and just cut the corner. Don't actually pour the bag of milk into the container.

Milk in bags extends the shelf life of the milk.

I dont eat ketchup as a condiment, not even with fries, but I love ketchup chips.

To be fair, milk is also sold in cartons and plastic jugs and the younger generations mostly buy those as opposed to the plastic bags, but it is cheaper in bags. It's good for people and families that drink alot of milk because you can't really close the bags, so you need to get through it quick once it's opened. 1 bag is 1 litre or about 1/4 of a gallon.

Yeah Caesar has clamato but also Tabasco and Worcestershire and rimmed with celery salt.

We’re only nice to outsiders, we secretly treat each other like assholes 😐

Sending letters to Santa is hardly unique to Canada (who also send their letters to wrong country, as everyone in the world knows Santa lives in Finland) People all over the world send letters to Santa in Finland. We have Santa's post office in Rovaniemi.

Happy Birthday Linda You are such a cute and funny couple. New subscriber 🇬🇧

Great white north, we're north, it's snows, and we are awesome.

The stupid bagged milk makes another appearance 🤦‍♀️ we don’t have this out west. It’s only some parts of the country that has it.

So we are so small, which is why you gave us the ice cube display. and the Qube above the left top is what you think of us?.

NOOOOOO, not the f'ing milk in bags thing again? That is ONLY in freaking Ontario. Canadians are all white? Whoa, danger Will Robinson, that is a pretty dumb thing to say.

Loners...but *not* alone! I *love* it!

Happy Birthday. Only some provinces have bagged milk. Alberta stopped using bagged milk in the 80's. Our Thanksgiving has nothing to do with pilgrims, and is just a harvest celebration that started in the 1500's. Fun fact the Canadian Monarchy is the only Constitutional Monarchy in the Commonwealth that was first installed as a French Crown and not a British.

SNOW = Great White North

Milk in bags is an accident waiting to happen, in UK milk can be bought in cardboard cartons,it's so easy to pour it anywhere but in cup ,bowl etc ,but they are recyclable , that's good ,😮😮❤

In BC we don’t have milk in bags.

Bagged milk is only in Ontario and Quebec.

milk in bags is much more enviromentaly responsible. we are the 'great white north bc of all the ice and snow, including many glaciers, but def not bc of white people. not only do we have a very large first nations component, but because we welcome so many immigrants - and always have - we are one of the most multi-cultural nations on earth'. maybe it was just a very bad day, but my perception is that one of you should def not be doing this type of work/hobby. very critical and sarcastic, just giving off a lot of negative energy. it ruined the vid for me, so i had to downvote. sorry

Sorry I had to give you a 👎 just couldn't stand the attitude dripping from the young lady, maybe try not being angry and utube at the same time. You have a nice day 😊

Ketchup is disgusting" but they said it didn't taste like ketchup :)

You have to try Ketchup chips, they are the greatest

Why........?.........

Just a suggestion, a slightly bigger picture in picture would be nice

What’s wrong with ketchup chips? You dip fries in ketchup right?

The video clip was interesting but would have been more so has the female half of the US hosting duo been less negative, less derogatory, and presented herself as just a little interested in the info offered. Too bad.

Happy birthday!🎉🎉

HAPPY BIRTHMONTH Linda!!!🥰😃

Bags are more environmentally friendly

Wow. This was hard to watch! I never seen someone so less enthused and annoyed at having to watch something ever. And why laugh at the anthem?

Brian, don't embarrass Lynda. Ladies hate it when you ask how young they are, and now you almost force those watching to ask her. Milk in a bag is NOT just Canada. I know for fact, that this is common in Romania.

Ketchup is tomatoes!

You put ketchup on fries

Ketupe is Ontario!

Sorry but her negative attitude just brought me down for pretty much the entire video...
