The company Heinz that is famous for ketchup and beans the same Heinz beans that all the Brits eat is actually an American company from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
Don’t let Brits hear you say that. The Brit beans are also called Heinz, but they are not the same. Americans used molasses in their beans. Brit beans are made with tomato paste and they do not taste the same.
HP brown sauce (House of Parliament Sauce) is made by Heinz, too.
I live near Pittsburgh and never knew Heinz made baked beans. All I knew they made was pickles, ketchup, relish and mustard.
Oh wow
@@phildicks4721 you never went to the Heinz plant on school field trip? You never had a plastic Heinz pickle whistle? Your school let you down!
It's not just light or dark chocolate. Sometimes you feel like a nut (Almond Joy), and sometimes you don't (Mounds).
Almond Joy's got nuts, Mounds don't
🎶 Almond Joy"s got nuts!🎶
🎶Mounds Don't"
I just aged myself 😂😂
@@spoonbendingspacemonkey because...... sometimes you feel like a nut

"... because, sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't!"
I usually feel like a nut (Almond Joy) 😁
Actually the United States drinks more tea than Britain but in the form of iced tea❤
they're both nasty
@@adamskeans2515abysmal take
Im not a tea flavor expert, but i do know theres a wide variety. If you dont like Coca-Cola, ypu wouldnt say you dont like soda, as there is many different types. Same goes for tea. @adamskeans2515
@@Johnmaloney1962 why is this abysmal? I'm allowed to have my opinion, and I'm allowed to express it. You, of course, are allowed to have a different opinion.
Walker's potato chips that are sold in England and probably other parts of Europe are actually owned and created by the American company lays.
Walkers is only sold in the UK exclusively. Lays didnt create Walkers, rather bought them out years ago. they chose to keep using the Walkers name to retain brand recognition in the UK. Lays was founded several years before Walkers.
Which is part of Pepsi.
I’m a little surprised it’s not widely known that You’ll Never Walk Alone is an American song. Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote dozens of classic songs most people know
I am very surprised. Carousel is a classic movie musical.
@WonderMonkey-xp3xk It's too bad because R&H musicals are classic for a reason. The Sound of Music was a major Sunday night prime time movie event on ABC for years.
The first time I heard it in the context of a football match, I was truly shocked. The drunk people singing it didn't seem like musical theater fans.
He's wrong about England being the only country to come to mind when thinking about tea. In the US we associate China with tea, just as much as we do England. Most Chinese restaurants serve tea as soon as you're seated, and we have a phrase (albeit somewhat outdated) "All the tea in China". The context is "I wouldn't do that for all the tea in China", in reference to a task that is so unpleasant you wouldn't even do it for extreme wealth.
Another phrase is " What does that have to do with the price of tea in China"
He was actually wrong about Winnie the Pooh. Winnie was a Canadian black bear. In 1914 a Canadian regiment of soldiers and veterinarians was sent to England. Major Harry Colebourn brought the teams mascot with them. When the regiment was sent to France the London Zoo took the bear until the men returned. The bear’s name was “ Winnie “ after Winnipeg, Manitoba ( my home city ) . A.A. Milne used to take his young son Christopher Robin to the zoo frequently. The little boy fell in love with the little bear and persuaded his father to write stories about the little bear he called “ Winnie the Pooh “. Of course his books became famous world wide and Walt Disney got involved. There is a plaque at the London Zoo recounting how he came to be housed there. In one of Winnipegs largest parks we have statues of Major Colebourn and Winnie the bear.
The origin of tea is from Asia and Arabia. European travelers introduced it to Europe in the 1500s.
Portuguese ships reached China in 1516 and Portuguese missonary Gaspar da Cruz published in 1560 the first account of Chinese tea.
The English first mentioned tea found in Japan and Macao in 1616. In 1657 a coffeeman was the first to sell tea in London.
The marriage of King Charles II to Portuguese Princess Catherine da Braganza in 1662 brought the tea drinking habit to Court.
And America provided the tea bags for you in 1901.😅
Here in the USA, small red poppies made of crepe paper and green wire are often handed out in front of supermarkets and other pubic locations by Veterans groups of various types on Memorial Day (the last Monday in May) for deceased veterans. And blue "Forget-me-not" (a blue flower) made of crepe paper and wire are often handed out in front of supermarkets and other public locations on Veterans day (Nov 11) instead for disabled veterans.
Yeah my local gas station has the red paper poppies on the counter by the register every Memorial Day. They have a little note attached that says who made it. 🇺🇸❤️
I remember the poppies. I think in later years some of the Vet organizations went to the blue forget-me-nots. Could be wrong about that part though.
My area has tons of vets and retirees so at our supermarket they always give out poppies and forget-me-nots while asking for donations. But yeah, I think at one point it was always poppies but they went to the blue for disabled and kept red for deceased at some point decades ago.@@Lynn-kh5rs
I already get a kick out of blue birds. To know that they are rarer in other places makes me feel special 😮
Most definitely know that Liverpool uses and loves that song "You''ll never walk alone". The first time I watched a Liverpool match and heard them play it, I thought, wow they are using an American song. Why??
Andre, the English fondness for tea comes a Portuguese princess. Catherine of Braganza married Charles II in the 17th century and introduced the British to her favorite drink-tea.
The Song "You'll never walk alone" is from the Broadway Play Carousel from the 1950s. My US Elemetary School class sang it at our graduation in 1961 two years before Gerry and the Pacemakers came out with the song in 1963.
Rogers and Hammerstein were composers and producers of Broadway musicals in 1940s and 1950s. Their successful plays were later made into Hollywood movies (Carousel in 1956). All their songs became popular from shows like Oaklahoma, Carorusel, South Pacific, The King and I and The Sound of Music.
Carousel was adapted from an Hungarian play. Rogers & Hamerstein wrote the songs for this musical If I Loved You, and You'll Never Walk Alone among others.
"Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don". Almond Joy with nuts. Mound no nuts. Lol
6! I love your commentary. I agree, I love learning.
Awesome! Thank you!
Most people don’t know that Winston Churchill was half American!
no he wasnt, he was full european.
@@sabin97no, his mother was American.
He was half American, but most Americans are part British anyway. LOL.
@@reindeer7752 they were surely referring to ethnicity, not just heritage or race, so, including upbringing and culture, his moms being American. Ethnicity wise, hes both, was brought up with both cultures.
@@andyv2209
i really doubt she was. he looks 100% european. from which american nation was she? aztec?carib?navajo?inca?
other?
The modern day Santa Claus with the chubby cheeks and the white beard and the red Santa Claus suit was invented in the United States I Believe by Coca-Cola
Not Coke, Thomas Nast.
Clement Moore's poem pre-dates Thomas Nast's cartoons. Coca Cola ads consolidated the image we have today.
Tea is still very much British, but America, part and parcel to our style throughout history, chose to turn loose leaf tea into tea bags and export them....Tea bagging everyone in the world, as it were.
To be fair, I primarily drink coffee, but I do enjoy a cup of loose-leaf tea as a novelty now and then.
You'll Never Walk Alone was one of my favorite songs from a great musical, Carousel. It has been used a lot through the years as inspirational music. We sang it in my High School choir - and, yes, i am an old lady 😊
Almond Joy’s got nuts…Mounds don’t.
Mounds chocolate bars are a favorite of mine. They are available everywhere.
If you want to see bluebirds you should go to my parents house as my dad feeds them and has multiple generations and several families coming to him when he puts out mealworms. I think the last count was about 18 bluebirds that would come when he rings their dinner bell.
*_"No shance! No shance! Wait... Is this actually American?'_* 😂🤣
Listen to The Righteous Brothers sing, " You'll Never Walk Alone." Its awesome
I love Mounds chocolate bars ❤😊
Americans first started experimenting with different ways to brew tea on December 16th, 1773. As a matter of fact it might be the very first cold brew.
That picture of the blue bird he showed doesn’t do justice to how vibrant their colors are! I seen two yesterday and the colors just pop! ❤
The famous British Fish and chips are actually a Portuguese dish.
He's not saying that America invented tea. he's saying that they invented tea bags. The disposable bags tea often comes in today on both sides of the pond. 😊
Bounty chocolate bars have coconut inside of them. Candy company Mars is one of the biggest candy chocolate companies in the world and it is American
The oldest tea shops and companies in Europe are in Denmark, northern Germany and the Netherlands. The British switched to tea after coffee shops were closed as seditious and tea plants were smuggled out of China.
I've watched this one already. As for the bluebirds, the song was popular around WWII so it's understandable that you don't recognize it. I didn't either lol. When talking about the tea bags, it's only the idea of putting the tea leaves into bags that is American. We love convenience for sure LOL! As for the song You'll Never Walk Alone, I did learn a couple of new things when I originally watched this and that song was one of them. I happen to love the version by Elvis Presley. It sends shivers down my spine the way he sings it. Anyway, I am leaving #6 because I enjoy you reacting to Lost In The Pond!
If you know rugby, and Portugal has a pretty good national rugby team, the English fans adopted the song "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot", which came from African-Americans, as their preferred song at national team games.
Hello from Georgia USA. Love the mounds chocolate and coconut. Ask me anything if you like! Trump is in my state right now and I forgot. Didn’t realize it till I got home from the grocery store . Anyway have a great weekend.
What's your favorite way to cook potatoes?
I wish i would have got to visit Portigal when i was in the navy. Never even got to see Britain.
Britain isnt even a top 5 country i think of first regarding tea 😂
Several in Asia are the top.
Jerry Lewis, an American comedian/actor, had a telethon broadcast all over the US on Labor Day weekend, to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy. At the end of the weekend, after being up or 2 days, Jerry Lewis would sing You'll Never Walk Alone dedicated to the children (called Jerry's Kids) who were affected with MD. It was very touching.
To be clear, the East was famous for its tea ling before the UK or the US. And tea wasn't served ground up like we do today, it was categorized by the quality of the tea leaves., and the tea master doing the serving. So, you can thank us westerner from ruining that tradition, or at least trying to.
@NdextremePro - The worst thing is the Brits putting milk or cream in their tea. I don't even put sugar in mine.
My ancestor that came from England to Virginia in 1792 left from Liverpool.
I'm old enough to remember when you got 3 pieces in an Almond Joy or Mounds bar and they were much bigger than today. Also they only cost $.05. The best version of You'll Never Walk Alone was sung by the great Mario Lanza.
You'll Never Walk Alone is also BVB's song - -
fun fact about gelatin, or as most Europeans call it "jelly". The powdered gelatin and the desert Jell-o are also patented by americans. So when people from across the pond start up an argument that "jelly" is Jell-o and not jam and that americans dont know what they are talking about, they in fact are the ones that dont really know what they are talking about
6. Is the funny thing I experienced a few years ago, somebody was on RUclips comparing British brands versus American. Everything they propose to be British just about, was an American brand! I was not aware of the change of the name of the almond bar, 0r the mounds bar,!🔥🤟😉
Loved your reaction to this!!!❤
It makes sense because many Americans have British ancestry. I know all of my family came from Great Britain. BTW: The proper name of the band was, "Jerry and the Pacemakers". There was never an "or" in their name.
potatos are american, corn is american, tomato is american, dragonfruit is american, pineapple is american, panflutes are american, cassava is american, barbacot(the ancient precursor to bbq) is american,
🌶️ peppers are from the Americas too.
I break people’s brains when I ask them to think of how certain national foods would be like if the Portuguese didn’t spread chili peppers around the world- kimchi, curries, goulashes… so many sauces and spice blends…
@@danielm5535
america.
singular.
also italian food would be quite different without the american tomato.
Oh yes, almond joy and mounds are popular here.
I'm pretty sure you can find more kinds of tea in America than anywhere else in the world. Coffee and tea are in the same isle in grocery stores. We have teas made from fruits that contain no caffeine that's better to drink in the evening so it don't interfere with sleep. I drink hot coffee in the mornings. The rest of the day it's tea, hot or cold or iced.
almond Joy's got nuts, Mounds don't
as a child of the 70's and 80's, I remember the commercials... we tend to change the names when we export... the British cortina was a Falcon over here
Another good one. Thanks 6
6! I would enjoy you reacting to that other video.
He was totally wrong about tea. Tea was discovered in China and became popular especially in the UK. It was always made with loose tea leaves. It was the “bag “ that was invented in the US. Even today many people prefer their tea made with the loose leaves and a strainer or totally loose to allow the reading of tea leaves.
I love your videos, André!
Keep in mind Americans, with the exception of 2% indigenous population, ancestors are from all around the world. My grandmother was from Liverpool, my other greats and grands were from Austria, Germany, Wales, Ukraine and several others places. Many of them were in the first settlements here. Each bringing their own culture and food with them. And you end up with delicious chicken (Scotland or Africa) and waffles (Greece) or fried potatoes (Belgium) and hamburgers (Germany) or biscuits (Rome) and gravy (UnitedKingdom) but white gravys orgin is American . Sorry for the ramble, i got carried away 😂 now I'm hungry
Coconut is not real popular here, but you can find both Mounds and Almond joy candy bars everywhere here, because sometimes you feel like a nut sometimes you don't.
I love Mounds. 1. I like dark chocolate. 2. I don't like the almonds in Almond Joy that is covered in milk chocolate.
6 But you should Google “There’ll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover . . .” By Vera Lynn to listen to the song and find out about its place in WW II Britain. While you’re at it, check out her other WW II classic, “We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when . . .” Obviously, you can also listen to “You’ll never walk alone” in the Carousel soundtrack. I was personally familiar with that song since childhood and never knew of the association with British football.
FYI John Henry and his company, Fenway Sports Group, own Liverpool FC. Henry is American as is FSG...
I tear the ends from two tea bags and put the tea in my Espresso COFFEE machine.
@SylvesterCarl - You can just buy loose tea. Its usually cheaper and tastes better.
You should check out Blue Jays - gorgeous birds from the N American continent.
Tea is very "British" tho I think it originated in Indiq? But tea BAGS are very American.

I remember having my mind blown when I realized that English football/soccer fans were singing American musical theater at their games. So weird!!!!
Rodgers and Hammerstein’s shows are constantly revived in amateur theater groups.
i think i have seen some bounty bars in america. few and far between though
I used to love listening to Gerry and the Pacemakers 😊❤
Almond Joys got nuts. Mounds don't.
Any song actually being american when people assumed it was british is likely pales in comparison the other way around. The amount of iconic 'american' music from the 20th century that is actually from Britain is huge. Just Queen alone is a titan: 'We will rock you' and 'we are the champions' played at every type of sporting event among many other famous songs of theirs. Led Zeppelin, The Beatles (I think most americans know they are british), Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Elton John, Wham! & George Michael (original 'Careless Whisper' and 'Last Christmas' played everywhere in america in December). The list goes on so I think Britain wins in the music exports.
You should do a video about Portuguese things that are actually popular in the United States. I know states like Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and parts of California have been impacted by Portuguese culture.
Popular, colorful local birds are the blue bird, Bluejay (bright blue with black around the eyes), Goldfinch (bright yellow) the Cardinal (bright red), and the pheasant (multi-colored)
I haven't seen it in a long time but I used to love Bounty because I love coconut paired with chocolate❤
Yes I love Almond Joy and Mounds bars.
If you wanna hear the song you'll never walk alone. It was sung by Frank Sinatra 1945 and Elvis Presley. Listen to either one of those. Elvis's version is quite dramatic and emotional.... Either way american😊
What size tin-foil hat do you need for all the theories coming your way! LOL!!! Yes to the #6 and bluebirds are gorgeous!
you cracked me up lol!!! bring on the conspiracy theories!!! :)
As an aside, Almond Joy and Mounds are very popular, you can find them at wal mart... gas stations... pharmacies etc. Never heard of Bounty coconut/choc bars. I have heard of Rogers and Hammerstein, and vaguely remember hearing of Gerry and the Pacemakers, but have never heard of the song "You'll Never Walk Alone". I think the Poppies thing still happens, but have never personally practiced that tradition. I always thought Santa Claus was from a German tradition, so I learned something new as well! :) I am not a tea drinker, never realized it was American.
And yes, I, an American, have a Patent on "Conclusion". I am supposed to receive a quarter every time someone utters the word. Unfortunately it has been hard to enforce Patent violations. :(
Another thing invented in the U.S.A. but many people around the world think started in Mexico is The Wave done at sporting events. On 15 November 1979, the wave originated at a National Hockey League (NHL) game between the Colorado Rockies and Montreal Canadiens at McNichols Sports Arena in Denver, Colorado.
The Wave began internationally during the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico. It was broadcast to a global audience, and The Wave was popularized worldwide after the tournament. This is why most people outside the U.S. call it The Mexican Wave and believe it was created in Mexico, but it was actually done around the U.S. for many years before being broadcast globally and was created here 😁
Almond Joy and Mounds are very popular for people that like coconut.
Tea itself is Chinese. America invented just the bag that holds the tea.
Tea bags from the Cheesehead/Dairy State!!!
Here's one for Europe - Neither the USA nor the UK has decent chocolate. Switzerland has the best chocolate.
In my house in South Carolina we drink 2 gallons of sweet ice tea a day
Kids are sad when you put an Almond Joy in their basket on Halloween
Another 10 for John Denver “Back Home Again”
There are a lot of things from the Americas that other Countries take credit for but as for the United States it owes its very own existence to the United Kingdom. The same holds true for Canada Australia New Zealand New Guinea and any other Country that didn't exist before the British Flag flew over it. They were just land masses with no names otherwise.
Almond Joy is my all time favorite candy
We have bounty, almond joy, and mounds in America
Fair trade: you come visit the US and we'll show you around, then you invite us to Portugal for a Knights Templar tour! 🤩
America and The UK will always be linked ,I say cousins from across the pond ,but siblings is good too❤🤍💙
the Dutch brought tea to England from China in the 1600s. The tea bag does have a usa patent from 1903
Lost in the Pond is a great channel.
You should believe in conspiracy theories. Eventually usually 10 years down the line the truth comes out. Shout out to Milwaukee, WI LOL. Majority of factories in America came from Wisconsin to Chicago and majority of the things used today or equipment was produced in this region due to its location of the great lakes. Most of the things originally made here have been sold off or moved to other states/counties. But the north Midwest is still the backbone of American history and still home to a lot of popular items.
I love your accent!
Andre hate to tell you as a military most conspiracy theories end up coming true

Almond Joy is my third favorite chocolate bar after Twix and Kit-Kat.
Not a huge fan of Mounds, as the almond really offsets the coconut. I won't turn it down if offered, but I won't buy it.
Tea is associated with England? I never heard of that.
China and all of Asia is synonymous with tea.
Bounty bar looks like Mounds bar - ahhh right ok
No no no no no
Almond Joy is milk chocolate with an almond
Mounds bar is dark chocolate, no nut
Tea itself is still British, it's just the single-dose packaging that's American.
LOVE me some Almond Joy
