      Almost correct. Diet Coke uses the artificial sweeter xylitol which is banned in the EU for it is considered cancerogenic as demonstrated in animal tests. So, yeah, the lady was kinda right. The Diet Coke she uses to poison herself with in the USA isn't available as such. The Coke company has to use a different artificial sweetener in the EU so the taste is different. The name change had to follow suit.

      @@RustyDust101 Xylitol is not artificial, it's one of the natural sugars you find in a whole bunch of plants. Though it can be produced industrially, but so can a whole lot of things. I have never heard of it being a carcinogen. It's not banned in the EU, either. It's not used in drinks because in high enough doses, it's a laxative. For humans, getting the runs is the worst it can cause you if you consume it too much. It's not good for dogs, though. As a result you only find it in tooth-friendly cough lozenges, chewing gums, vitamin supplements, medicine, and such, where the dose doesn't get that high.
      I reckon you are thinking of some totally different sweetener and confusing it with xylitol.

When you go to Spain, or France only, you say so, I'm going to Spain or France. Besides, the EU has rules that makes it to have some similar standards for many things.

      In fact, "pizza" is 5000+ years old and the name comes from "pita", which in MANY languages just means "bread".
      Technically, pizza is nothing but "bread", since all variations are just made of wheat and water - all other ingredients were put in and onto later.
      1889 was only the birth of the so called neapolitean style, which means that it is really thin and crunchy, nothing else.
      Even in Italy, there are at least four different mayor styles of pizza and there was at least some sort of "truth" in the claim in the video, since what the US today knows and inherits as "their" pizza was indeed created by italien immigrants, but only to make it easier for the rest to adapt to it.
      I agree with Ryan, I like the "american style" pizza the most, especially from chicago, cause if I want to eat a cracker, I order a cracker and that's what neapoletana pizza is all about.

    On the matter of the air con, it's not that we are unfamiliar or unable to utilize said technology, its just that in many places its not that necessary. Warmer, southern europe to my understanding does have more air cons, but up north its not really needed. Our houses are built to insulate, aka keep the heat out in the summer and warmth in in the winter, so the house doesn't even warm up to begin with (unless a very hot long lasting heat wave it starts to seep in). And its also not necessary to waste electricity on running an air con at full blast to keep the house at max 70F if even, when youre perfectly capable of living in slightly warmer temps during summertime. Open the windows to keep the air flowing and youre set. Obviously the air cons would be much more common in here if people actually felt that they were necessary or worth the investment. Many cases they're just not.

      I remember a former teacher of mine coming over for a visit (I attended an international school in Southeast Asia). She is from the US and was amazed I don’t have airconditioning in my home and that it was so cool inside despite the Summer heat. I explained:
      1) architecture: our houses are well insulated yet offer plenty of possibilities for ventilation (opening windows) to take advantage of whichever circumstances are to our advantage.
      2) no-cost measures: close the drapes on the sunny side of the house, create drafts when you want the heat to escape by strategically opening windows when the air is cooler (f.ex. at night
      3) safety: generally, we feel safe opening a window for ventilation when we’re home
      4) clever use of fans is cheaper than using an aircon
      5) adaptation: if you don’t live 24/7 in an airconditioned environment, your body tends to adapt. It’s the difference in temperature between inside and outside that creates the perception of coolness. A temperature difference of 5-10 degrees Celsius feels vast
      After several months in my country, she didn’t miss the airconditioning anymore. When she returned to the US she applied some of the techniques she’d learned to keep her house naturally cool. Apparently it saves her a lot of money… which she is saving up to improve both the ventilation and insulation of her house.

    Spain took over South America which is why all of South America - except for Brazil -speak Spanish. Brazil speaks Portuguese, because of the Treaty of Tordesillas with Spain and Portugal which divided the world into two halves: the western half was given to Spain; and the eastern half belonged to Portugal. The dividing line went down the Atlantic ocean and what is now Brazil was in the Portuguese half of the world.

    The term pizza was first recorded in the year 997 AD, in a Latin manuscript from the southern Italian town of Gaeta, in Lazio, on the border with Campania. Raffaele Esposito is often credited for creating modern pizza in Naples. In 2009, Neapolitan pizza was registered with the European Union as a traditional speciality guaranteed dish. In 2017, the art of making Neapolitan pizza was added to UNESCO's list of intangible cultural heritage.

The Imperial system is a simplified version of English Common Units, many of which took their names from defunct Roman, Norman, French and or Saxon units. For example, the short form of "pound" is lb, because it's short for the Roman equivalent, libra, but the Imperial pound is 1.4 times heavier than the Roman one. (The word pound itself is from the Latin word for weight, pondus).
      The US, however, uses a different simplification of English Common Units, called US Customary Units. It's the same as Imperial for length, but different for volume and mass.

    Air conditioning is for the most part a HUGE waste of energy - costly electricity bills and unnecessary CO2 emissions. A US thing, we can VERY well do without in Europe and other parts of the world - except in special buildings for special purposes. When it is hot, close the windows and draw the curtains/blinds where the sun shines in. Insulate buildings for both hot and cold weather. Cross ventilation.

Heat pumps are the most efficient heat sources and in combination with PV pannels you can heat your pool for 1/25 of energy used by other systems (or your hot tap water). In case of HVAC, it is more for new buildings (that V means ventilation and is missing in AC because it does not ventilate), but I do not know any model in here which does not have heating functionality in AC units.

    The metric system were in invented in France. Weight and volume is based on water:I.e, a litre of water weighs one kilo. A thousand litres is one cubic metre. The measurement of length is derived from a subdivision of the distance between the equator and the north pole. Although the imperial system were not standardised for a long time when it comes to gallons, both the U.S and U.K have 8 pints in a gallon however, the weights and volume are different which makes the U.K gallon bigger at 4.54 liters to one U.K gallon and 3.83 litres to a U.S gallon. A mile is based on a old Roman measurement of a 1000 passes and is also based on how far a legionnaire could walk in an hour. I hope I have bored everyone enough 😊

    1:10 in case you wondering for real, all ex colonies speak the language of the country that colonised that territory, especially in the Americas that wasnt populated as the rest of the world so they would bring people from different parts of the world from salves to workers and would teach them all one language so they all would be able to communicate with each other: France in Canada and French Guiana, UK in the 13 colonies, Portugal in Brazil and Spain in the rest of it basically. The reason Mexicans speak Spanish is the same as the one why US speaks English (even though its not even the official language) 😊
    2:30 the stereotypes come from different anecdotes and cultural differences mainly with US Americans with the french and like any anecdotes it can become overly exaggerated or generalised which contribute to the formation of stereotypes, which is very wrong nonetheless. 😊 (also air conditioning isnt necessary as much since we tend to have milder summers, plus we have shutters, cross ventilation and thicker walls so we dont need to rely on air conditioning, also it takes a lot of electricity which isn’t sustainable plus its more expensive. Another reason might be that the buildings especially in Europe are planned very tight which dont allow for air conditioning and its not necessary since the urban planning already solves that issue. Personal preference, id rather open my windows at night to allow fresh air in and ventilate my room with an electrical fan during the day)
    3:51 we have both Cola Light and Cola Zero… we dont use the term Diet Cola since it is incorrect to call it that way cause its not a “Diet” drink, but its basically the same thing.
    6:35 in Europe people understand the term “right for education” better I guess 😂 or maybe USA capitalises on everything that their citizens have “the right to” instead of making it more affordable… like: “ yeah you have the right to do that, now lets see how well you can afford to exercise that right of yours” 😅

      The difference comes sinply from the fact, that there are a lot of countries where 'Diet' isn't exactly used as word for low calorien drinks in general, or the word Diet might not be as common as the word light/lite. So, it was rebranded for those countries so everybody knows what it means.

      It's called Coke Light in all non English speaking countries in Europe. Because the term Diet suggests a product, that will make you lose weight, which is not true for this type of coke. So they changed the name / were forced to change the name. Many diet products are called light in the rest of Europe besides coke as well.

    Americans not knowing that both Spain and France had colonies in North America before the U.S. became 50 states seems to be a common, hence “why do they speak Spanish in Mexico?”
    Uh… because Mexico used to be a Spanish colony.
    I have this same issue as a Créole-American whose lineage is in colonial French Louisiana. If I had a penny for everytime I’ve had to explain that even though my nationality is American, my race is French Créole, not black, and my culture is French, not American, I wouldn’t be a billionaire but I’d be able to buy a pony from Mr. Wuncler.
    People come to Louisiana all the time and leave saying “Louisiana is like… a totally different country!” but they never think to put two and two together that we are literally Little France.
