@MoreAdamCouser To be fair, Adam did encounter a hurricane when he visited Florida. So, an underground volcano erupting while he's at Yellowstone is not beyond the realm of possibility! But Adam really does need to let me know the next time he's in Florida!
"Uncle Sam", whose real name was Samuel Wilson, was a meatpacker from Troy, New York. He ran a company which subcontracted for the United States government to supply meat in barrels to the Armed Forces. The workers who he employed would stamp "U.S." in big black letters on each barrel, and would tell everybody: "This meat is from Uncle Sam!" as a joke, because it was really for the soldiers of the "United States" ("U.S.")
Fair play to you, My Friend! You're a good sport, and I think you actually did really well! I'm in Florida, and I really only got all the easy ones and maybe half of the "hard" ones. And to be fair to both of us, some of the questions were quite trivial. It's not as though they teach us in school what the oldest casino in Las Vegas is, lol! Love your channel! Love your spirit! 👊😉
This quiz was presented as being general knowledge, not knowledge on a specific subject. Regarding Las Vegas, people (even some who have been there) automatically think "the Strip" aka Las Vegas Blvd., completely forgetting about Fremont Street - Old Las Vegas; It is there you'll find the Golden Gate Hotel and Casino (they've got great shrimp cocktail for the best price, btw).
I only missed 5. Back when I climbed and did winter mountaineering, I summited Denali (then My Mckinnly) 4 times and I can't count my ascents of El Cap. Most commodities from fabric to whiskey to tobacco to grains to meats, were transported by barrel through the mid 1900s. They can be stacked and they are easily moved by hand. Common measurements used today are based on the barrel. Peck>bushel> keg>barrel>hogshead. The St Louis Arch is known as the gateway to the west. The water in the picture is the Muddy Mississippi. NASCAR (National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing) was rumored to have started from moonshiners souping up their vehicles to outrun the law. Eventually it became a sport. Wrigley Field was owned by the Wrigley family, also known for their production of chewing gum. Chicago was known for their live stock trading market, stock yards, and butchering. That which isn't sellable was meat, is rendered into gelatin and other products, including chewing gum. Adam, these were a few things you asked direct questions about.
"Dr. Pepper was invented in Wackoo, Texas." I fully snorted hearing that pronunciation. It's pronounced "Wake-oh" but in your defense, MANY cities in Texas are pronounced in ways no one would ever guess. 🤣🥰
@ I have been there so often throughout my life that even the people who worked at the old casino on the North shore (no longer there) knew us by name. We got a lot of free nights, the good old days. My fondest memory was renting a cabin along the lakeside.
When I was in Key West, I saw an actual parrot head. For those of you who don't know, parrot heads are people that are big fans of Jimmy Buffet (R.I.P.). The guy had a parrot on his head while driving his motorcycle down the road.
That quiz had really interesting questions. I was howling laughing by the middle when you kept getting every single one wrong! 🤣 Enjoyed the roller coaster!
St. Louis , Missouri is in the middle of the U.S.. What you saw was a shot from the banks of the Mississippi River😶🙄😆🤣 Also, while Abraham Lincoln is indeed on Mount Rushmore...the person you called Abraham Lincoln is indeed George Washington 😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved the "California doesn't have lakes". We have a lot of lakes. Lake Tahoe is one of the beautiful lakes with surrounding mountains. I live 75 minutes from just 3 major lakes. One is 15 miles away, the other 2 about 75 minutes away and that's just in my little circle.
If you want to be totally grossed out, read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair about the meat packing industry in the early 1900s. That's a standard for American students in high school.
Mt. Rushmore, that isn't Abe in front, George Washington, is in front or on the left then Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, then farthest to the right is Abraham Lincoln.
You got about as many of these right as I would on questions about Northern Ireland . Are there 25 things to ask about Northern Ireland ? Some of my ancestors were Orangemen from Northern Ireland . I give my half Irish wife an orange for St . Patrick's Day every year .
He's probably heard the comments that the Lakers should have changed their name when they left Minnesota and conflated L.A. with California as a whole. (Then again, a lot of Americans think of them interchangeably as well.)
I almost coughed up a lung when you said that California has no lakes. We have lakes galore but as usual even as far as Northern Ireland they think California is dry as a bone. We get snow up to our asses and have plenty of lakes that have fine trout and bass swimming in them 😂
Waco, Texas is pronounced Way-Co The barrel technique was thanks to you guys. Salted meat usually came in barrels and yes it’s fairly hygienic for the day. 4 and maybe a fifth president has been assassinates while in office. One died from questionable Illness that may have been something more sinister but no one will ever know Around the year 1900 both Chicago and San Francisco got it done for. Chicago got burned and San Francisco had a quake 10:08 up to here I have got only 1 wrong. Yellowstone is great! Besides when it goes off it’s better to be closer to it. The long drawn out parts don’t seem to pleasant better quick than slow. I missed 2
I got more right than wrong. Side note, one way to tell when they are talking about Disney if it’s in California or Florida is. Disney Land has LA in the name so that’s in California and Disney World has OR in the name for Orlando so that’s in Florida They say that was on purpose but who knows.
36 of 40. Didn't know where the first sanctioned NASCAR race was (despite being a NASCAR fan), what was outside Tucson (besides desert), the oldest Vegas casino, or first black Senator.
Oh man, these are pretty damn hard! LOL A lot of these you’d really only get with context of knowing The States. Like, the telescope collection one was easy if you know that Arizona is a biiiiig wide open state with a lot of gorgeous desert star gazing to be had. ❤
I wouldn't worry too much about questions that are so obscure. First time I saw this, I missed 4 (I think) and I'm pretty good at these. You pack meat in that time in salt, then in the barrels. No part of eating back then was very hygienic by our standards. Once US Customs finds out about this, no letting Adam enter the US. LOL!!
I was screaming Dr. Pepper! 😂that tiny piece of knowledge is such a flex for me it's sad really. I'm a Dr. Pepper addict so of course I know the history of it. I got 28/40 right, so 70% not bad 😁
"How do you pack meat in barrels?" Like this video about life in the 1700s. Title: "Sailor, Soldier, & Explorer Rations: Food for the Commoner - Salt Pork"
I’m originally from AZ (where Tucson is) and I didn’t have a flipping clue about that one! I know they have an airplane graveyard out there though 🤷🏻♀️
Waco = Way Co and what those soft drinks have ibn common with America is they were all invented in America. Dr Pepper in Texas, Coca Cola in Georgia, and Pepsi in North Carolina Denali was once called Mount McKinley The meat packed in barrels was also packed in salt to preserve the meat. What car is this...well the mustang label on the side of the thing kind of gives it away. LOL
You should check out Ryan Hall Y’all if your ever wondering what weather is going down in the US. He has two channels. One he uploads and does lives and another that dies 24/7 coverage. He has his own teams that go out and track storms and such.
Okay, as a motorsports fan, that NASCAR question genuinely upset me! Charlotte Motor Speedway opened in 1960. There's 8 tracks older than Charlotte Motor Speedway that'son the 2025 NASCAR schedule.... DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY*...... Florida..... -- Daytona wasn't just built before Charlotte. The beaches of Daytona were home to THE first NASCAR race ever. BUT DIR opened in 1959. BOWMAN-GRAY STADIUM*.... North Carolina.... -- a super rare track that doubles up ad a football venue. It was built in 1937, and the first racing was in 1939. NASCAR raced there from 1956 to 1971. It's back on the schedule in 2025! MARTINSVILLE SPEEDWAY*..... Virginia..... -- a paperclip shaped track near railroads. Iconic track that opened in 1947. DARLINGTON RACEWAY..... South Carolina.... -- this egg-shaped track opened in 1950, and always has always been on the NASCAR schedule. NORTH WILKESBORO SPEEDWAY.... North Carolina...... - this is a cool venue! It was opened in 1947, but NASCAR didn't go there until 1949. NASCAR was abandoning some tracks in the 1990s, NWS was one of them. It reopened in 2023 after a massive renovation! (To be continued in the comments. My comment was posted before I was finished, and my phone bugs out because it's a long comment I'm editing.) * = was on the NASCAR schedule before Charlotte was opened.
INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY..... Indiana.... -- Okay, this is cheat code! First NASCAR tire test was in 1991, and first race was held in 1994. BUT IMS has the first race in 1919 with the (now) famous Indianapolis 500. WATKINS GLEN INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY*..... New York state..... -- this beautiful track was built in 1956, but the track didn't have it's first NASCAR race until 1957.
I could be wrong... but I'm pretty sure there are lakes in every state... some just less than others.... I've been to CA once and Whiskeytown Lake was a big one. lol. I live in MN the land of over 10,000 lakes so I find it hard to believe there are 0 lakes in any state... maybe bias. Also you did pretty much the same as I did on this quiz. Some of those I was like "who tf knows this???" xD Im also not a sports person so I got most of those wrong.
If it makes you feel better, I have lived in the United States since birth, and I didn’t know a few of these. OK, more than a few. Most of them were just trivia questions though. I knew most of the history ones, but why would anybody know some of those unless you just are a trivia buff.

In a previous video you said you wanted to go to Yellowstone... Why the change of heart. A little supervolcano got you trembling on your boots?
@ yes
@MoreAdamCouser To be fair, Adam did encounter a hurricane when he visited Florida. So, an underground volcano erupting while he's at Yellowstone is not beyond the realm of possibility! But Adam really does need to let me know the next time he's in Florida!
The number you got right with completely wrong reasoning was hilarious. 😂
“I don’t think California has any lakes” 😂 😂😂 I love watching these. Lake Tahoe should probably ring a bell 😂
So should Shasta!😂
Me in CA: WHAT??!!! 😂
I associate Lake Tahoe with Nevada…. Don’t know why
@@lizzaangelis3308 to be fair, about half of it is in Nevada.

I did not know this
That was fun! You know more fun facts about the US than I do and I live here!😂 Find another quiz like this. Or any topic. This was great!
Wake-oh, Texas
Home of a lunatic and lunatic Gummint that keeled a bunch of people.
I laughed so hard lol.
Thought it was Wacko
@ You have an argument there.
Way to go Adam! You got them all right! What a legend 🎉
There are over 3000 lakes in the state of California.
ffs hahaha
Those are rookie numbers gotta get those numbers up California

"I don't think California has any lakes"
💀💀💀
LMBO, did I hear you say California has no lakes? You should check out Lake Tahoe, my favorite place in California.
ffs man hahaha
@ Love your sense of humor and you are right, no one got a 100%. If they say they did, they are lying 😁
I live in NV and have visited Lake Tahoe. It's one of my favorite places in the world.
@ I have been there so often throughout my life that even the people who worked at the old casino on the North shore (no longer there) knew us by name. We got a lot of free nights, the good old days. My fondest memory was renting a cabin along the lakeside.
You forgot the Salton Sea.😁
When I was in Key West, I saw an actual parrot head. For those of you who don't know, parrot heads are people that are big fans of Jimmy Buffet (R.I.P.). The guy had a parrot on his head while driving his motorcycle down the road.
OK. When you call a classic Ford Mustang a Dodge I had to slap the TV. LOl Love ya brother!
I got several wrong as well. Being from another country, you did quite well! ♥️ From Houston, Texas 🇺🇸🇮🇪
What does coke, pepsi and Dr pepper have to do with America?? We invented them.
Adam succeeds because he's an entertainer, not because he's bright 😂
I love listening to you pronounce American City’s and other stuff. You attitude is so Great, you bring a smile to my face with every video.
That quiz had really interesting questions. I was howling laughing by the middle when you kept getting every single one wrong! 🤣 Enjoyed the roller coaster!
As a native St. Louisan I can confirm we sit right on the coast with the Mississippi Ocean.
I believe the oceans called the Gulf of Mexico
You did well, I like your videos and look forward to more.
11:58 Thats George Washington bro!
"Chicago is not by the ocean"
Neither is that photo 😂 3:57
Easy way to tell the 2 Disney parks apart. disneyLAnd...Los Angeles California
disneywORld...Orlando Florida
I live here and have lived in the south, midwest and west, in addition to reading extensively. My score, a putrid 70%. GOOD on YOU!
St. Louis , Missouri is in the middle of the U.S.. What you saw was a shot from the banks of the Mississippi River😶🙄😆🤣 Also, while Abraham Lincoln is indeed on Mount Rushmore...the person you called Abraham Lincoln is indeed George Washington 😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣

I didn't eat a hot dog for about 20 years after reading The Jungle in 12th grade. Still won't unless it's the only option available, lol.
not in my high school...
Did this junior year of hs! My fav
“Sally ride sounds like a p star”😂
Mt. Rushmore, that isn't Abe in front, George Washington, is in front or on the left then Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, then farthest to the right is Abraham Lincoln.
You got more right than the average American college student.
love the video consistency
thanks bro!
What's funny is the arch in St. Louis is by a river, but Chicago is indeed right next one of the Great Lakes, which looks like an ocean.
Adam, you crack me up..hilarious 😂. I think you found a new career in the states...comedian
I am not kidding he got more answers right than I did, and I live in America 😂
hahahaha
Good video, living here in Arizona for more than 30 years didn't have a clue or heard of this Tucson question
Snowed in Central New York state with 4 feet of snow
youactally did really well. Better than the other Brits i have watched.
You got about as many of these right as I would on questions about Northern Ireland . Are there 25 things to ask about Northern Ireland ? Some of my ancestors were Orangemen from Northern Ireland . I give my half Irish wife an orange for St . Patrick's Day every year .
Disneyland is in California. DisneyWorld is in Florida
I missed 5. I'm born and raised in the USA. You did pretty good for a fella across the pond 😊
I am truly impressed with how much you got right! You should make a quiz on your country to test your viewers!
As an American, I learned some things from this quiz that I didn't know 🙃 I love you Adam you Legend ❤️
I love you for singing the second line to the National Anthem. So cute. 😊
Ive lived in Texas my whole life. I will admit you got more correct than i did. Well done!
At least u tried to do it .
5:44 Huh? California has more than 3000 lakes. 😄😁😛
He's probably heard the comments that the Lakers should have changed their name when they left Minnesota and conflated L.A. with California as a whole. (Then again, a lot of Americans think of them interchangeably as well.)
I’m a 56 year-old American and I answered these questions as confidently as you did. Lol.
Edward Brooke WAS African American. He was a Senator from Massachusetts for two terms [12 years].
I almost coughed up a lung when you said that California has no lakes. We have lakes galore but as usual even as far as Northern Ireland they think California is dry as a bone. We get snow up to our asses and have plenty of lakes that have fine trout and bass swimming in them 😂
It's called trivia because the questions are trivial. I wouldn't worry about missing some, nor should anyone else.
5:40 California is huge! They have tons of lakes, over 3,000.
Waco, Texas is pronounced Way-Co
The barrel technique was thanks to you guys. Salted meat usually came in barrels and yes it’s fairly hygienic for the day.
4 and maybe a fifth president has been assassinates while in office. One died from questionable Illness that may have been something more sinister but no one will ever know
Around the year 1900 both Chicago and San Francisco got it done for. Chicago got burned and San Francisco had a quake
10:08 up to here I have got only 1 wrong.
Yellowstone is great! Besides when it goes off it’s better to be closer to it. The long drawn out parts don’t seem to pleasant better quick than slow.
I missed 2
I got more right than wrong. Side note, one way to tell when they are talking about Disney if it’s in California or Florida is. Disney Land has LA in the name so that’s in California and Disney World has OR in the name for Orlando so that’s in Florida They say that was on purpose but who knows.
36 of 40. Didn't know where the first sanctioned NASCAR race was (despite being a NASCAR fan), what was outside Tucson (besides desert), the oldest Vegas casino, or first black Senator.
Don't worry about how well you did, I've lived here my whole life and I didn't know some of these!😂
Yellowstone isn't on a "super volcano." If such a thing even exists. It's on a caldera. They are not the same.
I'm from Oregon. Only got 1 wrong, I was thinking the space program was Prometheus not Gemini. 😅
And Dr. Pepper is my favorite soda!😋
Oh man, these are pretty damn hard! LOL A lot of these you’d really only get with context of knowing The States. Like, the telescope collection one was easy if you know that Arizona is a biiiiig wide open state with a lot of gorgeous desert star gazing to be had. ❤

I got them all because my brain collects trivia and retains nothing that would help me in real life department 😂
"How do you pack meat in barrels?" Easy, Salt...
got a good number of them correct, also btw its pronounced WAY-co not wacko
I was screaming Dr. Pepper! 😂that tiny piece of knowledge is such a flex for me it's sad really. I'm a Dr. Pepper addict so of course I know the history of it. I got 28/40 right, so 70% not bad 😁
You need some cowboy coffee!! Hahaha
"How do you pack meat in barrels?" Like this video about life in the 1700s. Title: "Sailor, Soldier, & Explorer Rations: Food for the Commoner - Salt Pork"
Sorry Sally- my bad. LOL.
You did great, mate.
I’m originally from AZ (where Tucson is) and I didn’t have a flipping clue about that one! I know they have an airplane graveyard out there though 🤷🏻♀️
Adam, i got 37 out of the 40 right! but i was born and raised here, and have always been good at geography and trivia.
Waco = Way Co and what those soft drinks have ibn common with America is they were all invented in America. Dr Pepper in Texas, Coca Cola in Georgia, and Pepsi in North Carolina
Denali was once called Mount McKinley
The meat packed in barrels was also packed in salt to preserve the meat.
What car is this...well the mustang label on the side of the thing kind of gives it away. LOL
I missed 3. Dr Pepper, Obama and the first senator.
To be honest, I'd miss a lot of those questions, too.... And I live here...
You should check out Ryan Hall Y’all if your ever wondering what weather is going down in the US. He has two channels. One he uploads and does lives and another that dies 24/7 coverage. He has his own teams that go out and track storms and such.
Two wrong. You're the third person I've seen react to this, and I still get the same two wrong. 😂
Concerning sports questions I got them all wrong. The rest was easy.
I'm American and we did about the same.👍👍👍
I did maybe the same as you with that test. But I'm old and have forgotten a lot. lol
Okay, as a motorsports fan, that NASCAR question genuinely upset me!
Charlotte Motor Speedway opened in 1960. There's 8 tracks older than Charlotte Motor Speedway that'son the 2025 NASCAR schedule....
DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY*...... Florida.....
-- Daytona wasn't just built before Charlotte. The beaches of Daytona were home to THE first NASCAR race ever. BUT DIR opened in 1959.
BOWMAN-GRAY STADIUM*.... North Carolina....
-- a super rare track that doubles up ad a football venue. It was built in 1937, and the first racing was in 1939. NASCAR raced there from 1956 to 1971. It's back on the schedule in 2025!
MARTINSVILLE SPEEDWAY*..... Virginia.....

not going to lie i think you got more right then i did. some of them question most did not know unless they are form the state the question was about
True fact most Americans couldn’t pass an American citizenship test 😂 nor pass an UK one! You’re fine! ❤
Im pretty good on us history but one of those questions about Tucson I got absolutely wrong but its kind of an obscure fact that im not sure I believe
The U.S. flag is also called the Star Spangled Banner just like the national anthem.
Elvis preformed in the Las Vegas Hilton
I got them all right, Adam.
San Franciso need to watch that one
the way you got wayyy more correct than me is embarrassing considering I'm American...
That’s was fun…I’m trying to figure out, did Adam do better here then the State quiz🤔😉❤
Don't feel bad. I am American born and raised and I didn't know most of the answers.
good old Wakoo, Texas 😆
Adam,
Didn't know a few of them, maybe I need another monster Irish cream drink 😮
I could be wrong... but I'm pretty sure there are lakes in every state... some just less than others.... I've been to CA once and Whiskeytown Lake was a big one. lol. I live in MN the land of over 10,000 lakes so I find it hard to believe there are 0 lakes in any state... maybe bias. Also you did pretty much the same as I did on this quiz. Some of those I was like "who tf knows this???" xD Im also not a sports person so I got most of those wrong.
Made in 1866, Vernors is the oldest soft drink i belive.
As a proud American, I knew like 2 of these😅
Don't feel bad - these were obscure questions and many Americans would get the answers wrong.
cali is disneyland and florida is disney world.
From America you’re doing better than me
If it makes you feel better, I have lived in the United States since birth, and I didn’t know a few of these. OK, more than a few. Most of them were just trivia questions though. I knew most of the history ones, but why would anybody know some of those unless you just are a trivia buff.
I am American and I got about half wrong! Lol
