The name "Diet Coke" had to be changed to "Coke Lite" in many countries (UK is one exception here) to avoid giving the impression that a Diet Cola supports a Diet or is part of a healthier diet.
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.
@@RustyDust101 xylitol is definitely NOT banned in the EU. All our gum and sugar free candy has xylitol up in my EU-member country. It's written in the packaging, bold and proud.
As for deodorant... _The first known recording of deodorizing came from the Ancient Egyptians and Romans who applied crushed carob pods to their bodies, took frequent baths, and used scented oils to deodorize_ In short the USA didn't create deodorant they just patented it, like they do with everything...
USA is literally a melting pot of basically anything that comes from outside USA (language, religions, "food") only few things actually come from USA but only few of those few are actually good things.
It is the same with the AC. The patent of that time, took a technique that was already used worldwide. But don't worry about it. The Americans now buy expensive AC in Europe, because they themselves are too stupid to solder a hairdryer.

I think what annoys me most about Americans getting things wrong is when they say they are going to Europe, or they don't do this or that in Europe. Europe is a continent and has 50 countries, all of which are different.
First you have to explain the difference between a continent and a country. Then see if a Texan can understand that Paris is the capital of a country called France in the continent of Europe where the US government has zero authority.
I agree very strongly with you. I absolutely hate it when Americans refer to the UK as Europe, I always say to Americans now who say this is “oh, what country in Europe are you visiting?”. I just love watching their brains becoming scrambled as they realise that Europe is not (UK) a country. 😆😆 🇬🇧🇬🇧
I guess as to travel to europe and visit several countries in a short period of time is why we americans from Mexico say we are going to europe, most of the times you don't travel that far to stay in 1 country only. 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. That's 1 thing, some americans refer to europe as U.K. because they don't travel to a non english speaking countries. But others don't even know in England they speaks english, believe it or not.
9:27 They were talking about how circumsicing kids is a violation of human rights: you should be an adult before choosing that. The Murican then says: "That's dumb! If I hadn't had [a circumsicion], I wouldn't have removed [my foreskin] [later]! Luckily, like a lot of Americans, I already had my foreskin removed as a kid!"
About the air conditioning: When I was visiting America every store or restaurant was cooled down to the point where you actually needed a hoody or something to keep warm. Also, the doors open wide and automatically in most places. One of the biggest wastes of energy I have ever seen. Of course we don't do that. Since seeing that, I'm convinced the rest of the world could do whatever they want to save the climate, as long as these kinds of things don't change, all hope is lost. So yeah, enjoy your 5°C Applebees meal whilst the planet catches fire.
what about when it is so hot that even with 2 ACs on in a house, in an hour you sweat 2 pounds of water, just sitting, in normal clothes (which get absolutely drenched with sweat)
I agree but to a certain point. I have a medical disability that’s sensitive to heat/cold. Unfortunately I need some AC so I don’t relapse. I got sick at one hotel in Europe because of no AC. It’s not fun and it’s annoying to have to think of this stuff on vacation, but it is what it is 🤷🏻♀️
holy crap, for real?? Yet here we are in The Netherlands (a dot on the world map) paying 60% climate tax on our bills of electricity and gas. What a hoax
Technically not correct, many areas spoke English before colonies were attempted, Americans had travelled outside their borders as much as Europeans travelled in, especially towards Asia, the confusion was because they “presumed” they had come from area like what is now Russia, no one knew there was a whole another continent. There was lots of interaction with “American” people and English people in the far east before England colonised America
so strange to see how americans think of Europe as a unit (like the USA), instead of dozens of very different countries with very heavily mixed populations.... there is no such thing as "we europeans" because 90% of us don't even understand what the others say, so when I hear "you guys in Europe" I'm just confused, because I don't know who they talk about
Like when I was in England, and said I was Canadian, I was startled at the response. Even though it's a Commonwealth country, almost 100% of people I met would say I was American, because I came from North America. My response was always, "You wacky Europeans are all the same." That went over big in London 🙂
@@timithius Actually in Europe we call Americans to whoever comes from America. Only Americans consider that the only Americans are US citizens. I'm sorry for the revelation but you are American. If you were from Argentina or Brazil, or even Martinica (which is actually a French territory) you would be American too.
The original Air Conditioner was invented in Greece 3,700yrs ago. It involved an aquaduct with running water beside a house with a water wheel attached to a windmill to blow cool air through a vent in the side of the house.
About 25 years ago, a cuban-american dorctor and a former US soldier came to Mallorca to visit my family in law. They brought a Jack Daniel's bottle because they thought they couldn't find it here (you could find it in any store). Funny thing is they were truly amazed when we went shopping because our mall was much betters than the one they had in Miami. Not because it was bigger or you could find more things but because it was much cleaner, more well organized and groceries were much higher quality.

correct, it is in the same level as FGM. From atheist point of view it does not make sense, as it is violation of human body. From religious point of view, if you are not Jewish or Muslim, why would you even do it. Even then, it is barbaric, old practice, that should be outlawed. Only if it is medical emergency and it is not possible to treat it, then I could understand, other than that, no, outlaw it.

The pizza is from Italy and it's really old. You probably wouldn't recognize pre-Neapolitan pizza, since it didn't have any toppings. Modern pizza was invented in 1889 in Naples.
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.
@@Eysenbeiss I think you should inform yourself better. Neapolitan pizza is much better than the "American" one, it's like saying you prefer McDonald's hamburgers to the real thing. I'm sorry to say it like this, but what they do in the USA is different, not to mention all the "improvable" substances they use as chemical flavor enhancers. Obviously there will be pizzerias or specialized restaurants in the USA that will make magnificent pizzas, but it is not common. To start the dough must have a fermentation and rest time, you need a good olive oil, good tomatoes and cheeses. And in the USA you don't have the same quality that we have in Italy, Spain or France, honestly.
Flatbrad of nearly the same process exists nearly everywhere. From Marocco to Kasachstan , from Somalia to Noway, From Georgia to India. Even in the americas some kind of flatbread exists. And it's ancient, there are more than 14 000 year old finds.

@@daphnelovesL- it would be a very tedious drive in a car: dead straight road, after an hour of driving the view becomes monotonous, you have to keep to the speed limit ( I don’t know what is for cars but coaches have to keep to 100km/hr), & you have keep alert in case some wildlife is on the road (hitting a large kangaroo or a camel could wreck a car). When I visited Uluru the tour guide’s comment to the weather forecast was “…36 Celsius- a fair day..”, so if you break down make sure you have enough water (I’d recommend 4L water for each hour you are broken down with no Air Con.) Also you won’t have a cell/mobile phone signal so make sure you have an appropriate 2way radio.
You couldn't make it up!! Sounds about right for US tourists, we get plenty here.

Pizza still originates in italy and goes back to the ancient romans. That said, pizza also was made in other parts of the ancient world, like greece and may even have been popular in ancient babylon. But if you wanna food fun facts - Lasagne isnt italian, its swiss, coming from the swiss town of La Sagne. Crossaints arent french they are austrian and were made as badge of honor for veteran bakers that served in the first turkish siege of vienna, but were brought to france by Austrian princess Maria Antonia when she married the french king who made them a thing in france. Schnitzel isnt austrian, its italian, hailing from Florence originally made with actuall edible gold as crust
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 live south of the alps where it gets a bit warmer. I actually have an AC (only blowing in the hallway where the bedroom door is) installed by the preowners. I use it about 5-10times a year for some hours in the night for a better sleep. That's all.
Yes thats true, the weather there is really comfortable. Shhh don't tell americans you invented things they believe were made by them!!! You know cars, laws and constitution, cientific names to species. Greetings from northern México 😊
Yeah way I see it ACs are a sign that your architecture and building design sucks, there are plenty of ways to make interiors be comfortable without it
Nah, here in Australia it's boiling hot for a large part of the year people still don't have AC because it is so expensive to buy and run. In America it is much cheaper to buy AC, and much cheaper to run.
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.
Air conditioning consumes a lot of energy. It actually would be better to build houses that keep out the heat in summer and let in the warmth in winter.
I have an air conditioner (air sourced heat pump) in my wife’s Pilates studio in my garden. In winter it takes the latent heat in the air and compresses it making warmer air. This system was theorised by Lord Kelvin in Glasgow in 1862. For every 1kw of energy going into the system I get 3.6kw of heating. It is actually the most efficient way of heating bar none!

The only thing I can think of is if a doctor assessed you, spent time on the assessment, recommended treatment, and you then said no, so it's a bill for the time assessing you.
@@lloydcollins6337 I'd assume it would be billed as the doctor's time (because of how the payment structure works) in that case, "refused medical treatment" sounds like a purely administrative charge.

Ryan, For your information, all school, from Kindergarten to the University is free in Germany and is paid for via your taxes. 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.
Es gibt durchaus Studiengebühren, aber grundsätzlich stimmt die Aussage schon. Das andere schauste dir lieber noch mal genauer an, denn wenn die Trennline IM Atlantik gelegen hätte, hätte Portugal NICHTS von Südamerika bekommen, dafür aber quasi ganz Afrika.
It's not paid for with taxes. It's paid for with public spending, which is money issue spent into existence. Taxation is what happens when public spending (and other money issue) is redeemed for fiscal space. The 'funded from taxes' myth is what has caused the EU to be a monolith of monetarist nonsense.

In countries lacking the ‘freedom’ of the US, you can’t just call any product anything you like. So DIET Coke can’t be called DIET because it isn’t part of a recognised diet. Same as Healthy Cigarettes - not a permitted brand name. Or Driving Beer.
Air conditioning or specifically the heat pump which is the basis of an air conditioning system was theorised by Lord Kelvin (the Kelvin heat scale used by scientists) in 1862 in Glasgow, Scotland. He didn’t actually make a working system because he didn’t have the electricity to make it work. The first refrigerators (that also use the heat pump) were originally called Kelvinators.

From wikipedia: Pizza is a traditional Italian dish typically consisting of a flat base of leavened wheat-based dough topped with tomato, cheese, and other ingredients, baked at a high temperature, traditionally in a wood-fired oven. 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.

Coke Light is the name of Diet Coke because in some countries in Europe the claim this kind of fizzy drink is fit for diets is contested. And yesssss pizzas are originally from ITALY. But the American pizzas are adapted versions to "American" likes.

3:06 - it's called 'Imperial' just to remind you that you were once a part of the British Empire. I can't understand why you keep the system - it would be much more logical if you had switched to metric, since that arose after the French Revolution and was part of their determination to be free of their previous tyrannical rule. Didn't you Americans do something similar? (without the guillotines of course!)
@@alestbest Different miles, feet, etc though. 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. I have lived and worked in very hot and humid parts of the world without air-conditioning. Sensible buildings and behaviour made it ok.
OK, and what about heating? (in 15yrs I used cooling function only for 3days in a row while reinsulating ceiling and it was hell hot summer). 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 😊
Though neapolitan style pizza probably was invented in 1889 AD (in Neapel, Italy), pizza in general can be traced back at least to 997 AD in Gaeta (Italy).
@@emiliajojo5703 If you go too much back in time, you wouldn't recognise it anymore as pizza. That's the problem with really old dishes that require a lot of processing.
May you elaborate on "leaves on Italian pizzas" ? Did you refer to a few basil leaves in a single type of pizza? It's a really poor knowledge of the argument!!! 😂😂😂
9:22 I want to believe that person 1 was saying that not having your genitals mutilated is a human right, in which case they are correct. Circumcising infants should not be allowed. If you want to do that as an adult it is your choice, but as a child you cannot consent to a non-medical procedure.
You do know why they started circumcising babies ?!!! Before it became a religion thing.,,,…Because it stops infection like sand getting under the forskin and if that happens you end up with something much worse than a bit of skin being cut off !!’!!
It's funny, but at the same time I feel sad. USA is full of nice and lovely people, specially if they have travelled or have some knowledge of the outside world.
Diet Coke(coke Light) is almost impossible to get in some parts of Europe, cause it was replaced by Coke Zero. I live in Poland next to Czech border. In Poland Coke Light was totally replaced by Coke Zero and in Czech both Zero and Light(diet) exist but light its only available in big supermarkets.
We have Coke, Diet Coke and Coke zero and their sub flavours in the UK. I seem to remeber seeing Coke Lite many years ago but it didn't last as a name.
We do not use the term Diet Cola, because in Polish the word "dietetyczna" (diet) suggests that the product has some dietary properties, which in the case of any Cola is simply not true. Zero (no sugar at all) and light (less sweet) makes more sense.
Yup. I'm French and I don't remember having seen Diet coke ever since Coke Zero came to life lmao. Also, Diet Coke has NEVER been called Diet here, mostly because it's forbidden to imply that a sweet drink would help for any kind of diet, but also because diet isn't much of a commonly known word. Basically everyone here can tell what "light" means, but using diet wouldn't be as appealing because not many people would get the message you're trying to convey, making the drink irrelevant and sales fail.
My Italian friend will say: "Why everybody (insert Spaniards here) think Italians live of pizza and spaguetti?" If you want him angry you only have to say something about Italian food. He would kill Ryan for saying "fancy pizzas with leaves on top". 🤭

Americans used to call it lite. Brits have always said diet. And yes we do have zero. But we don’t have ‘fridges cos there’s no electricity in our wattle and daub huts.
The reason that Miles et cetera are called Imperial measurements because they are the measurements used within the British Empire . But as a matter of interest the mile was originally a Roman marching distance . The metric system is actually Napoleonic .
@@Tiekorolivier Well you’re sort of right but the metric system was first proposed in 1668 by an Englishman , John Wilkins . It was officially adopted by the French government in 1795 but it was not accepted widely within the country until 1799 when Napolean seized power .
@@steveosborne2297 true, but it was enough information at once 😁 And the old mesurements were still used all along the 19th century. When I was young, we still used pound and half pound for 500g and 250g 😉
In Spain coke cherry was retired because we thought we were drinking cought syrup and I don't think I ever saw coke vanilla. Coke, Zero, Light and without caffeine versions are avalable here.

@@vanesag.9863 You can't get cherry coke in every store at all, it's only sold in a few stores and Vanilla seems to die out too and Stevia didn't have the acceptance that Coke wanted to, but you can get it, if you search for it.
The "mile" was a Roman unit, but like most customary measures, it had tons of slightly different local variants through to modern times. Even today, some US and British (Imperial) measures differ - notably measures of volume (gallons, quarts, pints and even ounces).
Americans use the United States customary units system, not the imperial system. Circumcision is not a basic human right, it is child mutilation and should be a crime. Would you accept that cutting off a child's little finger for religious reasons is cruel? Well, circumcision is incomparably more cruel.
say what you like ,,, but all the world knows that the American system of measurements are solely based upon the British imperial system ,,,,, there is some colonial systems that your forefathers did not wish to relinquish ,,,,,lol

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” 😅 7:00 Pizza was invented in Naples, Italy and its not that fancy… the most preferred pizzas are the 2 original ones: Marinara (tomatoes, garlic, oregano and olive oil) and Margherita (tomato, mozzarella, basil and olive oil). The rest of the world takes a very artistic take to making it but people in Italy and most Europe like to stick to the basic. 😊
Yes, thanks to US people they have bad stereotypes of diferent countries. Nothing like a italian pizza made with fresh ingredients as with the real mexican food not an americanized version using ingredients we never use like sour cream or cheddar cheese!!! Greetings from northern México
@@manueltapia1859 I'm sure proper Mexican food is delicious (actually I know it is as I've had it - a long time ago) but I love sour cream and cheese so will keep having that on my tacos.
While the colonial influence on the language is mostly true for the americas it's not always true for the rest of the world. Examples: Eritrea, Somalia, Ethiopia, Lybia, the danish west indies, Cameroon, Togo, Samoa, Rwanda-Burundi, Namibia, Nauru...
Air conditionning is one of the reasons why global warming is happening so maybe YOU should change and start using advanced tecnhology as "do not build cities in the desert" and "open your windows at night to get fresh air"
Yeah, air conditioning isn't great for the environment and I bet the misconception (as a lot of southern european countries have them) comes from the UK; where even in summer you don't need air conditioning.
3:49 We sell Coke Light, which is Diet Coke and also Coke Zero. In fact, a lot of the Coke Light is being phased out of stores and replaced by Coke Zero. I think I've seen Coke Zero Vanilla, but I'm not sure
i can tell you what this conversation is about. its about religious circumcision 100%. especially the "leaving it to an adult" part. both jews and muslims usually get it done to them before they are old enough to decide if they want to so an adult decides for them. and thats also where the basic human rights come into play like the right to physical integrity for example.
The crazy part is, that the american says they would NOT have removed it as an adult, so they are glad their parents didn't leave that decision to them. Like they dodged some dangerous bullet It screams internalised abuse!!
Coke Light is the exact same product as Diet Coke. We also have Coke Zero, Coke Zero Decaffeinated and Coke Zero with lime in all major stores. Some special stores sell Coke Zero Vanilla, Coke Zero Cinnamon and Coke Zero Cherry as well. At least in Norway. They changed the name from Zero to "Uten sukker" (Without sugar) some years ago though - don’t ask me why.
There are probably countries, but it didn't think it's that common. Germany has no Diet Coke for example. 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.
Yeah, I didn't said anything agaisnt it, maybe I didn't made that very clear.. I just explained, why it has the different names in different parts of the world.@@mats7492
I suppose we do, but I never buy the any Coke because I really don't like it. I drink herb tea or green tea without sugar. Sorry for disliking such a crucial element of American culture.
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.
If you really want to feel stupid, think about how many states in America were Spanish speaking before the people were forced to speak English as the national language.
I live in UK, which is in Europe, and we've had Diet Coke since I could remember and still sold here to the day. We also have Coke Zero and have had it here for well over a decade. To avoid misunderstanding UK is still part of Europe, just not European Union.
There IS air conditioning in some hotter parts of Europe !! We use MILES in the UK !! We have all different flavours of Coke in the UK ! Diet, zero, vanilla, cherry etc. You name it...we got it !
Ikr!! I'm Greek and I get so annoyed when Americans say that the whole of Europe doesn't have air con. Almost every building in Greece has air conditioning.
Usually called Light in Norway (Europe)...but Coca Cola is not the most popular here (if coke is the same as Coca Cola,we dont say Coke here..lol)...we love Pepsi/Pepsi Max more,even our own Norwegian Grans Cola is prefered by many @@Thurgosh_OG
A large portion of Europe DOES have aircon, the countries that it isnt common or popular in wont suddenly get it for a damn good reason. It's the colder countries. Why would we buy an aircon just to only use it one week to a month out of the year?? Financially it's just not suitable for us
@@OurFamily- most homes have ways to heat them already. The only thing aircon would do that we dont have already would be to cool down our homes in that very small part of the year
7:20 For the pizza one, it was imported in New York by immigrants but pizza originates from Naples, the most basic one the Margherita, is named after a Queen of Italy and it was made around the end of the 19th century
College used to be free in America. Private schools may have charged a premium, like $400 per semester or something. Also school lunches were free or extremely subsidized. These, among others, are programs Reagan scrapped so we could give more money to the extremely wealthy for his "trickle down" theory. As we all know, if you give more money and tax cuts to the rich, it doesn't trickle down ever.
Europe has AC. It is just that it is a massive energy waste. And with well insulated houses you can manage temperature pretty well. Adding to that, there are many places where it rarely gets that hot that an AC would be needed.
Some day americans will discover that there is air conditioning in europe (obviously deodorant too), but as climate is not as extreme along the year as in USA it's mainly used in south Spain, Italy or Greece for example. When there is a warm day, it uses to be enough with crossed ventilation, good fresh drinks and a hundred of pounds less into your body... 😂😂😂😂, appart of streets with trees that help to reduce the global temperature. Not always the best opcion is expending more energy and polluting to the rest of the world...
From Wikipedia "Air conditioning dates back to prehistory. Ancient Egyptian buildings used a wide variety of passive air-conditioning techniques.[8] These became widespread from the Iberian Peninsula through North Africa, the Middle East, and Northern India." 😂😂😂
I have airco at work. Since the construction of this building (2016) and despite many repairs and cleaning it never worked properly. Blowing hot air in summer and cold air in winter.
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. New Orleans, beignets, cafe au lait, Baton Rouge, Terrebone parish, Mardi Gras… I mean how can you not figure those are French terms?
A European tourist first question in a foreign country: “Where can I get some real authentic local food. An American: “Where is the nearest McDonald’s, that have Diet Coke.”
In Sweden Coke Light is the same thing as Diet Coke and we do have Coke Zero. The pizza was actually invented in Naples and got it's name documented for the first time in 1889.
Yes, we are from Europe but use a mix of both; remember the UK is the one that invented the imperial system. We use Celsius for temperature and a mix between imperial and metric for measurements. And it's even dependent on where you are in the UK, I live in an area where it's mostly metric for distances and imperial for height. And everyone outside of the US uses metric.
I guess "Coke light" is the name in most of the EU for Diet Coke. Other flavors like Lemon, Vanilla, Cherry and even Cinnamon (all in "normal" with sugar and in "light" without sugar) are harder to get because a lot of supermarkets do not have them in stock.
Coke lemon can be used for mixing, vanilla and cherry I don't like and cinnamon tastes idiosyncratic. You can try it in winter, but it's absolutely not everyone's cup of tea.
I think the funniest one I've heard as a Brit was when Mike Davies was presenting BBC Radio 1's Punk Show. He lives and works in LA, but broadcast to the UK. So he's queuing at a fast food place. Get's chatting to the person next to him in the queue. Explains that he does a radio show for people in Britain. And the guy is like, "Wow, do they speak English over there?"
Fun fact: Diet Coke/ Coke light is actually worse than regular coke. Unlike normal sugar your body is not able to break down the sweetener substitute which mean you'll prolly gain weight faster. :)
Bullshit. There are several intervention studies that show that non-caloric soft drinks can help to stay in caloric deficit making it easier to loose weight.

The name "Diet Coke" had to be changed to "Coke Lite" in many countries (UK is one exception here) to avoid giving the impression that a Diet Cola supports a Diet or is part of a healthier diet.
Being from the UK i was confused,lol
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 - _"to poison herself"_ - Couldn't agree more!
@@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.
@@RustyDust101 xylitol is definitely NOT banned in the EU. All our gum and sugar free candy has xylitol up in my EU-member country. It's written in the packaging, bold and proud.
As for deodorant... _The first known recording of deodorizing came from the Ancient Egyptians and Romans who applied crushed carob pods to their bodies, took frequent baths, and used scented oils to deodorize_

I guess as to travel to europe and visit several countries in a short period of time is why we americans from Mexico say we are going to europe, most of the times you don't travel that far to stay in 1 country only. 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.

About the air conditioning: When I was visiting America every store or restaurant was cooled down to the point where you actually needed a hoody or something to keep warm. Also, the doors open wide and automatically in most places. One of the biggest wastes of energy I have ever seen. Of course we don't do that.

Sooo true!!!! Don't forget portuguese, dutch and french too.
Technically not correct, many areas spoke English before colonies were attempted, Americans had travelled outside their borders as much as Europeans travelled in, especially towards Asia, the confusion was because they “presumed” they had come from area like what is now Russia, no one knew there was a whole another continent. There was lots of interaction with “American” people and English people in the far east before England colonised America
so strange to see how americans think of Europe as a unit (like the USA), instead of dozens of very different countries with very heavily mixed populations.... there is no such thing as "we europeans" because 90% of us don't even understand what the others say, so when I hear "you guys in Europe" I'm just confused, because I don't know who they talk about

The original Air Conditioner was invented in Greece 3,700yrs ago.
It involved an aquaduct with running water beside a house with a water wheel attached to a windmill to blow cool air through a vent in the side of the house.
About 25 years ago, a cuban-american dorctor and a former US soldier came to Mallorca to visit my family in law. They brought a Jack Daniel's bottle because they thought they couldn't find it here (you could find it in any store). Funny thing is they were truly amazed when we went shopping because our mall was much betters than the one they had in Miami. Not because it was bigger or you could find more things but because it was much cleaner, more well organized and groceries were much higher quality.

The pizza is from Italy and it's really old. You probably wouldn't recognize pre-Neapolitan pizza, since it didn't have any toppings. Modern pizza was invented in 1889 in Naples.
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.
@@Eysenbeiss Neapolitan Pizza crunchy, have u ever tried it ?!?!?!? maybe...MAYBE u talking about shitty roman pizza...

Obviously there will be pizzerias or specialized restaurants in the USA that will make magnificent pizzas, but it is not common.
To start the dough must have a fermentation and rest time, you need a good olive oil, good tomatoes and cheeses. And in the USA you don't have the same quality that we have in Italy, Spain or France, honestly.

@@daphnelovesL- it would be a very tedious drive in a car: dead straight road, after an hour of driving the view becomes monotonous, you have to keep to the speed limit ( I don’t know what is for cars but coaches have to keep to 100km/hr), & you have keep alert in case some wildlife is on the road (hitting a large kangaroo or a camel could wreck a car).
When I visited Uluru the tour guide’s comment to the weather forecast was “…36 Celsius- a fair day..”, so if you break down make sure you have enough water (I’d recommend 4L water for each hour you are broken down with no Air Con.) Also you won’t have a cell/mobile phone signal so make sure you have an appropriate 2way radio.

Pizza still originates in italy and goes back to the ancient romans. That said, pizza also was made in other parts of the ancient world, like greece and may even have been popular in ancient babylon.
But if you wanna food fun facts - Lasagne isnt italian, its swiss, coming from the swiss town of La Sagne. Crossaints arent french they are austrian and were made as badge of honor for veteran bakers that served in the first turkish siege of vienna, but were brought to france by Austrian princess Maria Antonia when she married the french king who made them a thing in france. Schnitzel isnt austrian, its italian, hailing from Florence originally made with actuall edible gold as crust
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 live south of the alps where it gets a bit warmer. I actually have an AC (only blowing in the hallway where the bedroom door is) installed by the preowners. I use it about 5-10times a year for some hours in the night for a better sleep. That's all.
Yes thats true, the weather there is really comfortable. Shhh don't tell americans you invented things they believe were made by them!!! You know cars, laws and constitution, cientific names to species. Greetings from northern México 😊
Yeah way I see it ACs are a sign that your architecture and building design sucks, there are plenty of ways to make interiors be comfortable without it
Nah, here in Australia it's boiling hot for a large part of the year people still don't have AC because it is so expensive to buy and run. In America it is much cheaper to buy AC, and much cheaper to run.
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.
Air conditioning consumes a lot of energy.
It actually would be better to build houses
that keep out the heat in summer
and let in the warmth in winter.
The USA use more energy for cooling and heating ALONE than the entire continent of Africa for ALL demands.
Was right with you up until the last line... WHAT warmth in winter, tho? o.O
@@irrelevant_noobhe meant one that keeps the warmth inside
I have an air conditioner (air sourced heat pump) in my wife’s Pilates studio in my garden. In winter it takes the latent heat in the air and compresses it making warmer air. This system was theorised by Lord Kelvin in Glasgow in 1862. For every 1kw of energy going into the system I get 3.6kw of heating. It is actually the most efficient way of heating bar none!

How can a medical bill charge you for refusing to be treated? It's absurd...
Sums the country up exactly doesn't it?
The only thing I can think of is if a doctor assessed you, spent time on the assessment, recommended treatment, and you then said no, so it's a bill for the time assessing you.
@@lloydcollins6337 I'd assume it would be billed as the doctor's time (because of how the payment structure works) in that case, "refused medical treatment" sounds like a purely administrative charge.
@@lloydcollins6337 Yes and in addition, when you called 911 or local emergency and then refuse it, you have to pay, as if you had been treated.

Ryan,
For your information, all school, from Kindergarten to the University is free in Germany and is paid for via your taxes.
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.
Suriname and French Guyana and Belize do not speak Spanish. They speak Dutch, French and English. Everything else is correct in your comment.
Es gibt durchaus Studiengebühren, aber grundsätzlich stimmt die Aussage schon. Das andere schauste dir lieber noch mal genauer an, denn wenn die Trennline IM Atlantik gelegen hätte, hätte Portugal NICHTS von Südamerika bekommen, dafür aber quasi ganz Afrika.
@@EysenbeissDamals mag da so gewesen sein, heute aber ist es wie genannt.
It's not paid for with taxes. It's paid for with public spending, which is money issue spent into existence. Taxation is what happens when public spending (and other money issue) is redeemed for fiscal space. The 'funded from taxes' myth is what has caused the EU to be a monolith of monetarist nonsense.
Hm merkwürdig, meine Studiengebühren und Kosten für einen Kindergartenplatz sagen das Gegenteil. Ob ich wohl ne Rückerstattung bekomme?

In countries lacking the ‘freedom’ of the US, you can’t just call any product anything you like. So DIET Coke can’t be called DIET because it isn’t part of a recognised diet. Same as Healthy Cigarettes - not a permitted brand name. Or Driving Beer.
Air conditioning or specifically the heat pump which is the basis of an air conditioning system was theorised by Lord Kelvin (the Kelvin heat scale used by scientists) in 1862 in Glasgow, Scotland. He didn’t actually make a working system because he didn’t have the electricity to make it work. The first refrigerators (that also use the heat pump) were originally called Kelvinators.

On November 2, 1944, at the age of 55, he was found dead at his home in Worthington, Ohio. He had been killed by his own device after he became entangled in it and died of strangulation.

Worse than that, the modern imperial system is defined by metric standards.
From wikipedia:
Pizza is a traditional Italian dish typically consisting of a flat base of leavened wheat-based dough topped with tomato, cheese, and other ingredients, baked at a high temperature, traditionally in a wood-fired oven.
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.

Except the UK learned to let go, well mostly, the US is either too stubborn or too stupid to let go.
The UK uses miles, but that’s the only imperial measurement still widely used there. For the rest, as far as I’m aware, they switched to the ISU a few decades ago.
Coke Light is the name of Diet Coke because in some countries in Europe the claim this kind of fizzy drink is fit for diets is contested.

“Pizza dates back thousands of years, believe it or not, tracing its roots back to the flatbreads with toppings that were popular with ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. But modern pizza, the flatbreads with tomato sauce, cheese, and toppings, was born along the western coast of Italy, in the city of Naples” in the 1700s.

3:06 - it's called 'Imperial' just to remind you that you were once a part of the British Empire. I can't understand why you keep the system - it would be much more logical if you had switched to metric, since that arose after the French Revolution and was part of their determination to be free of their previous tyrannical rule. Didn't you Americans do something similar? (without the guillotines of course!)
The Romans used Miles, Feet (Pedes), Gallon s, Ounces .... its not even the Brithisch Empire.... an other one
@@alestbest Different miles, feet, etc though. 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.
Minute 1:16 - Because the entire Center and South America were colonized by Spain and Portugal. So they speak Spanish and Portuguese

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. I have lived and worked in very hot and humid parts of the world without air-conditioning. Sensible buildings and behaviour made it ok.
OK, and what about heating? (in 15yrs I used cooling function only for 3days in a row while reinsulating ceiling and it was hell hot summer). 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 😊

We do not use the term Diet Cola, because in Polish the word "dietetyczna" (diet) suggests that the product has some dietary properties, which in the case of any Cola is simply not true. Zero (no sugar at all) and light (less sweet) makes more sense.
Yup. I'm French and I don't remember having seen Diet coke ever since Coke Zero came to life lmao.
Also, Diet Coke has NEVER been called Diet here, mostly because it's forbidden to imply that a sweet drink would help for any kind of diet, but also because diet isn't much of a commonly known word. Basically everyone here can tell what "light" means, but using diet wouldn't be as appealing because not many people would get the message you're trying to convey, making the drink irrelevant and sales fail.
@@jafissherse8137 Same in Germany. That's why they changed the name to Coke Light in non English speaking countries.
😂 prefer a American pizza over an Italian one 😆🤣😂 I take it you've never had one in Italy ??
I mean he called a pizza with some basil on top as fancy soooo… 😅

The reason that Miles et cetera are called Imperial measurements because they are the measurements used within the British Empire .
But as a matter of interest the mile was originally a Roman marching distance .
The metric system is actually Napoleonic .
Nope
Napoleonic wars spread through Europe, but it was created by the french revolution way before Napoléon came to power.
@@Tiekorolivier Well you’re sort of right but the metric system was first proposed in 1668 by an Englishman , John Wilkins .
It was officially adopted by the French government in 1795 but it was not accepted widely within the country until 1799 when Napolean seized power .
@@steveosborne2297 true, but it was enough information at once 😁
And the old mesurements were still used all along the 19th century.

In Germany we do have Coke, Coke Zero, Coke Light, Coke Energy, Coke Vanilla, Coke Cherry, ... etc.
In Spain coke cherry was retired because we thought we were drinking cought syrup and I don't think I ever saw coke vanilla. Coke, Zero, Light and without caffeine versions are avalable here. Now they are promoting Fanta with differents flavors (grape, watermelon...) like in other countries but I don't know if here we are going to like it.
Same in Sweden.
@@vanesag.9863 You can't get cherry coke in every store at all, it's only sold in a few stores and Vanilla seems to die out too and Stevia didn't have the acceptance that Coke wanted to, but you can get it, if you search for it.
you're really into coke...
I wonder if Coca - Cola "borrowed" the idea of lemon flavoured Cola from the East-German Vita Cola.
The "mile" was a Roman unit, but like most customary measures, it had tons of slightly different local variants through to modern times.
Even today, some US and British (Imperial) measures differ - notably measures of volume (gallons, quarts, pints and even ounces).
Americans use the United States customary units system, not the imperial system. Circumcision is not a basic human right, it is child mutilation and should be a crime. Would you accept that cutting off a child's little finger for religious reasons is cruel? Well, circumcision is incomparably more cruel.
say what you like ,,, but all the world knows that the American system of measurements are solely based upon the British imperial system ,,,,, there is some colonial systems that your forefathers did not wish to relinquish ,,,,,lol
I tried so hard not to get angry. I think I went half-bald during this

Why were you angry, over something as ridiculous as this....
If that’s so, why did you lower yourself to something thaaat ridiculous to comment about it? @@augustrosepriv892.
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” 😅
7:00 Pizza was invented in Naples, Italy and its not that fancy… the most preferred pizzas are the 2 original ones: Marinara (tomatoes, garlic, oregano and olive oil) and Margherita (tomato, mozzarella, basil and olive oil). The rest of the world takes a very artistic take to making it but people in Italy and most Europe like to stick to the basic. 😊
Yes, thanks to US people they have bad stereotypes of diferent countries. Nothing like a italian pizza made with fresh ingredients as with the real mexican food not an americanized version using ingredients we never use like sour cream or cheddar cheese!!! Greetings from northern México
@@manueltapia1859 I'm sure proper Mexican food is delicious (actually I know it is as I've had it - a long time ago) but I love sour cream and cheese so will keep having that on my tacos.

While the colonial influence on the language is mostly true for the americas it's not always true for the rest of the world.

Air conditionning is one of the reasons why global warming is happening so maybe YOU should change and start using advanced tecnhology as "do not build cities in the desert" and "open your windows at night to get fresh air"
Yeah, air conditioning isn't great for the environment and I bet the misconception (as a lot of southern european countries have them) comes from the UK; where even in summer you don't need air conditioning.

We sell Coke Light, which is Diet Coke and also Coke Zero. In fact, a lot of the Coke Light is being phased out of stores and replaced by Coke Zero. I think I've seen Coke Zero Vanilla, but I'm not sure
Coke coffee ? Coke cherry?
@@thatrandomguyontheinternet2477, coke cherry, yes; coke coffee, no
i can tell you what this conversation is about. its about religious circumcision 100%. especially the "leaving it to an adult" part. both jews and muslims usually get it done to them before they are old enough to decide if they want to so an adult decides for them. and thats also where the basic human rights come into play like the right to physical integrity for example.
The crazy part is, that the american says they would NOT have removed it as an adult, so they are glad their parents didn't leave that decision to them. Like they dodged some dangerous bullet It screams internalised abuse!!
Coke Light is the exact same product as Diet Coke. We also have Coke Zero, Coke Zero Decaffeinated and Coke Zero with lime in all major stores. Some special stores sell Coke Zero Vanilla, Coke Zero Cinnamon and Coke Zero Cherry as well. At least in Norway. They changed the name from Zero to "Uten sukker" (Without sugar) some years ago though - don’t ask me why.
Coke Zero Cherry? No cherries in Coke anymore?
We have Diet Coke, Coke Zero and lots besides in the UK, as I’m sure they do in the rest of Europe!
There are probably countries, but it didn't think it's that common. Germany has no Diet Coke for example.
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.
Coke light and diet coke is the same product though..@@RavenMethil
Yeah, I didn't said anything agaisnt it, maybe I didn't made that very clear.. I just explained, why it has the different names in different parts of the world.@@mats7492
I suppose we do, but I never buy the any Coke because I really don't like it. I drink herb tea or green tea without sugar. Sorry for disliking such a crucial element of American culture.
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.
Pizza existed berfore the U.S did.
If you really want to feel stupid, think about how many states in America were Spanish speaking before the people were forced to speak English as the national language.
I live in UK, which is in Europe, and we've had Diet Coke since I could remember and still sold here to the day. We also have Coke Zero and have had it here for well over a decade. To avoid misunderstanding UK is still part of Europe, just not European Union.
There IS air conditioning in some hotter parts of Europe !!
We use MILES in the UK !!
We have all different flavours of Coke in the UK ! Diet, zero, vanilla, cherry etc. You name it...we got it !

A large portion of Europe DOES have aircon, the countries that it isnt common or popular in wont suddenly get it for a damn good reason. It's the colder countries.
Why would we buy an aircon just to only use it one week to a month out of the year?? Financially it's just not suitable for us
To heat in the winter, which is cheaper than heating by gas.
@@OurFamily- most homes have ways to heat them already. The only thing aircon would do that we dont have already would be to cool down our homes in that very small part of the year
In northern England it would be once every 20 years or so!

College used to be free in America. Private schools may have charged a premium, like $400 per semester or something. Also school lunches were free or extremely subsidized. These, among others, are programs Reagan scrapped so we could give more money to the extremely wealthy for his "trickle down" theory. As we all know, if you give more money and tax cuts to the rich, it doesn't trickle down ever.
They speak Spanish in Mexico due to colonialism, the same reason some places in Africa speak French, some speak English and some Afrikaans
You fail to explain that Afrikaans is a Dutch dialect and some Americans may not make that connection.
And some speak Portuguese.
Europe has AC. It is just that it is a massive energy waste. And with well insulated houses you can manage temperature pretty well. Adding to that, there are many places where it rarely gets that hot that an AC would be needed.
I was installing a lot of PV systems which are running AC - no energy waste - hell hot summer = most of sunlight = most energy = cooling for free

Some day americans will discover that there is air conditioning in europe (obviously deodorant too), but as climate is not as extreme along the year as in USA it's mainly used in south Spain, Italy or Greece for example. When there is a warm day, it uses to be enough with crossed ventilation, good fresh drinks and a hundred of pounds less into your body... 😂😂😂😂, appart of streets with trees that help to reduce the global temperature. Not always the best opcion is expending more energy and polluting to the rest of the world...
From Wikipedia "Air conditioning dates back to prehistory. Ancient Egyptian buildings used a wide variety of passive air-conditioning techniques.[8] These became widespread from the Iberian Peninsula through North Africa, the Middle East, and Northern India." 😂😂😂
I have airco at work. Since the construction of this building (2016) and despite many repairs and cleaning it never worked properly. Blowing hot air in summer and cold air in winter.
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.

A European tourist first question in a foreign country: “Where can I get some real authentic local food. An American: “Where is the nearest McDonald’s, that have Diet Coke.”
In Sweden Coke Light is the same thing as Diet Coke and we do have Coke Zero. The pizza was actually invented in Naples and got it's name documented for the first time in 1889.

Britain does use miles, it's Europe that uses Kilometres. Miles are an Imperial measurement and Km are metric. We use a mix of both in the UK 🇬🇧
The UK is in Europe
Ain't you guys from Europe though? 🤔
Yes, we are from Europe but use a mix of both; remember the UK is the one that invented the imperial system. We use Celsius for temperature and a mix between imperial and metric for measurements. And it's even dependent on where you are in the UK, I live in an area where it's mostly metric for distances and imperial for height. And everyone outside of the US uses metric.
Diet Coke is called 'Coke Light' here (Holland). We also have coke zero :) Don't know about vanilla.
I guess "Coke light" is the name in most of the EU for Diet Coke. Other flavors like Lemon, Vanilla, Cherry and even Cinnamon (all in "normal" with sugar and in "light" without sugar) are harder to get because a lot of supermarkets do not have them in stock.
calling something so unheathy "diet" is against the law in a lot of places@@Elfo_
Coke lemon can be used for mixing, vanilla and cherry I don't like and cinnamon tastes idiosyncratic. You can try it in winter, but it's absolutely not everyone's cup of tea.
I think the funniest one I've heard as a Brit was when Mike Davies was presenting BBC Radio 1's Punk Show.

As a British man ,I can confirm that Tesco, Aldi and lots of other shops have Diet Coke
Fun fact: Diet Coke/ Coke light is actually worse than regular coke. Unlike normal sugar your body is not able to break down the sweetener substitute which mean you'll prolly gain weight faster. :)
