What other countries are told is "American"

Most Americans hate hot dogs

People are stupid

Fried chicken for christmas in japan? Why? Because back then, america usually baked a turkey. Japan didnt have ovens big enough to cook even a whole chicken. Thus, a bucket of fried chicken for christmas in Japan was born. It helps if you do a little research.

American fried rice has a fascinating story.

this american sauce / american dressing is very much a thing here we call it “house sauce” and it’s served pretty much everywhere. it’s basically just mayo, ketchup, mustard, and relish depending on recipe.

Also, sometimes when you see things called “american” they actually can mean the continents of north/south america

My mind is freaking out...is this guy "American" or "Mexican"???

Dude talking about "American" things sounds like a Canuck to me.

Fluff is very, very, VERY New England- specifically Massachusetts, where the Fluffernutter (fluff and peanut butter) is an institution,

The Columbian "American Style" hotdog sounds amazing. I'd adopt that, minus the quail eggs.

I love the very specific and entirely earnest ways that the Japanese obsess about America (and vice versa); you wouldn't expect the most brutal war in history and us dropping a sun on them would lead us to be bestest friends forever

An American talking about foreigners exoticizing American culture—the irony is strong with this one.

you speak really good french in this video

There is something weird how the guy moves and talks that is off putting to me. Like he is bouncing up and down and moving his head in circles while his voice does this same cyclic tone of going up and down and slowing and speeding up over and over. It's like his head, and speaking tone and speed are all moving together in circles while he kind of bounces up and down with like a back of the throat nasal sound. It is driving me crazy.

That is one of the most aggressive "a-boot"s I've ever heard.

So funny. A canadian getting mad about americans and other countries not authentically depicticing each others cuisine. Why are you getting so mad about this stuff? If the japanese want to eat fried chicken on christmas let them, it sounds tasy. If americans want a sugar cooking with a little fortune inside with their chinese food, what's wrong with that? I can't imagine why you would get mad at this stuff when Canadian cultures is so much stuff taken from america (like thanksgiving) and no one really gives a shit. It's cool that cultures share things, even if they don't always get them 100% right. You culture warriors are so fucking annoying.

Not true that "No One" in America eats fried chicken (homemade) on Christmas. In many American homes, even though Turkey or Ham might be the centerpiece of the meal, a very large portion of the population also serves fried chicken, duck, lamb, bbq ribs, etc. There are a lot of cultures and traditions in America, not just the stereotypical stuff that's portrayed on TV as being "American."

But we do have oreo's cerial and marshmallow fluff! They're just not popular or regularly consumed.

I didn't see
Any denty moores beef stew

If you've ever been to the American South, you'll find that fried chicken is on most Christmas tables.

I'm sorry, but as someone who's lived in the USA all my life, to me that first photo of the American themed endcap is the food isle version of hearing someone talk and thinking they don't have an accent. Which is to say it perfectly accomplished its goal at portraying American foods. Though it could be that their data all came from around my region. America is a big continent.
Everything after that photo was wild though.

scott pilgrim is canadian lol

Actually Christmas has been getting a much more wholesome touch in Japan as it is now also about showing your appreciation of your lover.

That's just so bizarre, that a handful of commercial food trash is advertised as typical U.S. food. I mean... there's SOME truth to it? I know people who live off a diet of oreos, cheese, and diabetes, but things like "Oreo cereal" are a bit of a joke even here. A more realistic and perhaps maybe SLIGHTLY more healthy USAsian diet consists of fast food, soda, coffee, and frozen dinners, with a heaping dose of cheese, soy bean oil, and deep frying.

as American as Apple pie ❌
as American as a Solo cup ✅

If Americans knew what frites were we would definately put saus on them. How is it faux?

I hate the way ur head bobs upside down and move around its so annoying

Alright you had me on the american fruit pizza till we got to the luxardo cherries

i know canada is technically north america, but bffr, this guy isn't american either wtf

The thrift stores in Chile are called american clothes because they used to brought used clothes from the US, there where also Europian stores. They used to brought containers with used clothes to sell. Those clothes were cheaper and better quality options than some new cheap clothes from China, they where very popular in the 80th and 90th were the country has economic problems

I'm impressed, this was mostly correct up until the point of "Spaghetti westerns"
they did not start in Italy, but rather were filmed in the west and central plains of the USA, they get the term "spaghetti westerns" from the fact that in place of hiring big expensive and more well known orchestra's, the American film industry chose to go with lesser known, and therefore cheaper Italian string orchestra's in order to keep the cost of making the film down, leading to the iconic sounds of the spaghetti western genre that remain a staple of American western film making and even some southern gothic rock to this day!

Okay, I am just now learning about the Japanese KFC tradition, and it's funny because my mom and some family friends have always gotten together on Christmas Eve to do Christmas with them and their, kids and we've always gotten KFC, and the line is always super long and one time they even ran out of chicken before we even got to the ordering speaker.

In Chile, ruffles chips are called “American cut chips.”

Also, my favorite ones in Hebrew are:
- Multiple-choice questions are called “American questions”
- box cutters are called “Japanese knives”

That thing of Africans in China cosplaying black americans is really embarrassing to me as an african. How demeaning.

They fucked up having a whole ass hot dog on a pizza.

Ironically A1 Sauce is british and actually from the royal house, yet is in the American section

As an American engineer, I find some pride in duct tape being called American tape.

I visited Iceland a few years ago and saw ads for a small regional chain of restaurants called American Style and all their food is burgers and sandwiches topped with excessive amounts of meat all named after American pop culture icons such as the Peter Griffin chicken sandwich and the Clint Eastwood burger. Not gonna lie they hit the nail on the head with that one

You got the wrong cup for Copo Americano in Brasil. Is not that, I actually never seen one of those in Brasil haha

The Amerikaners look exactly like the “black and white cookie” which is found in Jewish delis all around New York City.

Christmas isn't a Christian holiday soo it should be Japan-ized

Yeah, it's really upsetting to me when people say that Americans are fat, that we eat unhealthy food, and that there are endless commercials in our football games where only one or two players actually use their feet.

Hawaiian pizza comes from Toast Hawaii, which was dreamed up by a German chef in the 50s

This is the first of J.J.'s videos I found, Google suggested some boring reactor who was using a much more interesting looking video and well here I am. I enjoyed the video, a interesting topic, paced well, edited in a way that that added to the presentation and did not overstate, I look forward to watching more. It would seem that you are Canadian, and I've always wonder how other countries view the larger concept of "America", do they see Canada as separate with its own traditions or do they lump the cultures together?
