As someone from Romania, I would like to reassure you, that that talk of Vampires in our country is baseless slander. Romania is a safe place to visit and we love tourists.
In my 300 years living in Romania, I have not even once seen or heard about a vampire and I asked the other people in the castle and they confirmed it. And they have been around longer than I have.
Also Romanians are the least vain people on the planet. They dont even bother using mirrors
Hey, Where is my sister?
no no no, we do have vampires... we call them poloticians
Newcastle mosley street was the first to electicly light a street. and Romania was first by dc current
Brilliant.
Your fanta is orange, your president is orange, your cheese is orange... I see like a theme...
Im Dutch and our national color is Orange but there are boundaries
@DeepintheSeadra Really? I'm pretty sure the Dutch turned carrots orange.
@Rex_Daley_Racingfacts
@Rex_Daley_Racing There are boundaries.
🤔🤔🤔
The grass in america probably has more sugar in it than a chocolate cake in Germany
😂
Wha wha!!??
They are smoking sugar now??
because they grow it with BRANDO !
It accumulates already in Americans because the environment is saturated.
I would make an idiocracy reference but i forgot the drink used there
Ah, the look of an american when they realize for the first time that their american carrot colour Fanta is made from liquid waste from a badly mantained nuclear powerstation.
It's the added sugar though that is really unhealthy.
@user-eb9qq3rg5w Well,the Fanta produced in Romania contains 85% natural orange juice. It is required by law,to be able to label it as ,,orange drink''
@flitsertheo Yes, I can't even fathom drinking something that sweet. I usually choose carbonated flavoured water instead of soda, and that has around 4g of sugar...
@flitsertheoconcidering they compare real fanta to "straight orange juice", while most people i know here in germany agree that it is a sugary chemical mix with a hint of orange, i can feel my teeth rotting from just thinking about how ungodly sweet that nuclear waste of theirs must be.
That's NOT carrot color, that's Radioactive color!!! Carrot color wouldn't be quite so vibrant, and would be way to healthy for American products!
The Italians made a special kind of coffee just to help Americans. They even named it “Americano” to help you find it on the menu.
It was called an Americano to mock the Americans' inability to cope with an espresso, which is considered a real cup of coffee.
😂
@0cypher0and yet the Americans seem to have missed the memo!
@0cypher0i am romanian and I also order americano. When you have heart problems you cannot down an expresso. So americano is ok. I am sure is not the worst thing on this planet and does not affect you one bit that some prefer a bit more water in their coffee. Thinking there is only one way to make a coffee sounds like coffee nazism.
@andreeas.2362 yeah, same. Just black Americo, no sugar for me. Brings out the flavor of the espresso in an different way and it’s easier on the stomach if you drink more than one.
"Normal american fanta"
When fanta isn't even american, ours is the default 😂
The forbidden cola
Coffee girl obviously has never been to a real coffee shop.
Right, ignorance reveals itself...
but oh my gaaahd she like literally goes so starbuUUUCKS?
Me, a Dutch person: 😅
@Genusskartoffel
If she wants to have any artificial flavors in some kind of "milk" with a small trace of coffee - nope, we actually don't have that. We prefer that a coffee also contains larger quantities of coffee.
@jaspermooren5883 Me, a Flemish person thinking of the flemish version of a cappucino: 😐😶😶🌫
When you don`t build your house out of sticks and cardboard, its bathroom can handle water.
to be fair that bedroom is just bad design...i work as plumber..hotel was saving money on that one or mybe some problems between plan and realization
@YU_Games_YUGs That is not a bedroom. Plumber you say 🧐
@jumbo4billion 🤭 bathroom...?😀
@jumbo4billion I have seen enough videos to understand that plumbers have trouble differentiating bath- and bedrooms
Even though they can handle, doesn't mean they should. I hate this type of showers. I mean - if the bathroom is big enough and the glass wall is long enough - sure, why not. But with bathroom the size from the video here, I couldn't live there. Imagine walking in the house in some flip flops, or just socks or whatever - you walk in to the bathroom after someone took a shower to brush your teeth, wash hands, take a dump or whatever, water is everywhere on the floor, your feet, socks or flip flops are wet, you get out, you leave wet traces everywhere. Big no no for me.
Fun fact: In Germany, Fanta isn't just neon colored chemicals.
It’s legally required to meet certain standards for fruit-based lemonades, so it actually contains real orange juice.
In the US, it’s 0% juice, basically just flavored sugar water.
It's soda pop,not juice. 🤷 expecting it to contain juice is odd. 😂
@billyyank5807That’s true for the US, but in Germany it actually contains real juice, not just neon orange chemicals and sugar. The German version is just more natural.
@DerPlankiThe French version also contains real juice.
@capricer9799 as a French I didn't even know it contained real juice, it already taste too sugary and artificial for me 😅
@Wh_itepoppy I'm an American living in France with a Dutch spouse. I don't drink it, but they very occasionally buy it and when I saw the color difference I read the labels.
The coffee thing REALLY bugs me as a Brit. If you ask for cream, you’re going to get cream! If you mean milk, just say milk!!! Or just look at the menu and pick something on the menu! I don’t understand all these personalised / custom coffee orders.
I'm Spanish and I think the same. If "cream" in USA means milk and the poor barista doesn't understand it, ask for milk. By the way, I don't know in UK but here in Spain we have Irish and Viennese coffees and the recipes use whipped cream. If the barista had a cream can is because there are recipes that need whipped cream at the menú. Don't make her day worse!!
Some people just like to feel special, so they have to prick around with the options.
Hmm, I like cream in my coffee, and it's not milk, and definitely not a whipped cream. Don't you have like cream, which means fatty part of milk that rises to the top when milk stands? And I am not from US
@vanesag.9863we have whipped cream for hot chocolate and the like too (UK). I’m not sure if people ask for normal cream much here?
so how do you do it when you want Cream, not milk? Cream in the coffee taste better. No im Not talking about Whipped cream, if i did i would say it.
Here in Norway (and all of the Nordics) there is nothing to mistake milk from cream from Whipped cream as they all have their own words as everyone should have.
You know the crazy thing about the Fanta? When Americans try European Fanta, they usually say stuff like "Oh wow it's like orange juice" but to me it's not even close, it's just an orange soda. Orangina is closer to orange juice since it as orange pulp in it but even that is still a soda I guess
Orangina rules 😄!
I never thought fanta tasted like orange juice, I was surprised when i found out it actually contains juice 😅
However when I tried the Canadian fanta (same colour as the American, but can't be sure if it's the exact same thing) I realized how the European one is more natural
Yeah its NOWHERE close to orange juice...
yeah throws me off as well that they say it tastes like orange juice. but thats just because the american one tastes so completely artificial that the european fanta is closer (relative) to orange juice.
At least the European version contains some orangejuice unlike the USA one.
Its a wet room with a drop towards the drain, the whole room is waterproofed, there's one in every bathroom in my house in Australia (I am from Europe though). Unless you're shaking yourself off like a fucking dog after a shower to soak the whole room, its really not a problem and incredibly simple to manage.
Fanta was actually created in Nazi Germany, as the U.S imposed sugar sanctions at coca-cola Deutschland. Thus forcing them to come up with an alternative to Coke. Yet the U.S still can't get it right 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@garethhiggin3277I shower in Fanta too.
Nup, I’m an Aussie who’s travelled all over the world and these doorless showers are dumb as dogshxt
@KazeNoTaniFarmHakubastop shaking yourself off like a dog then 😂
That style of shower is also more accessible to wheelchair users so are more common in hotels where there can be a variety of guests. In most households, the showers are connected to a bath with a partial hinge door.
As a german plumber i can say these types of showers get more common with time. Its a nice alternative for disabled or old people and if you think about your future you want to be able to shower even if you cant walk so good anymore. And if its done right with a slope you dont flood your bathroom. The only downside is that its get a little bit cold in an open shower because the warm air dont stay in.
Dane, mason. Yeah, they are getting more common here too, it is a smart alternative, we are all getting older.
I quite like these showers. They have no stumbling-potential and allow for alot of different designs.
As a Swiss Building service planner (sanitary) (or for you, my german neighbour, Gebäudetechnikplaner Sanitär) i can say, those are quite well liked among Architects nowadays.
Only thing that annoys me is that they also like this idiotic wall-drains that are a b**** to plan and execute. I prefer the drain on the floor, be it a line or a point one.
i worked in a hotel as a maintenance guy. americans very often, and i mean a lot, would flood the bathroom.
one time a family asked me about it. we had those type of dual shower heads, with one up above close to the ceiling and one that you can hold in your hand with a flexible hose and you can switch between either of them from the faucet. the flexible one gets hooked to a support on the wall that can sit at different angles. what they were doing was to angle the manual shower head to point straight ahead not at a downward angle, like the shower head was vertical in its support and the water would come out at a 90 degree angle from the wall. so obviously all the the water would would land outside of the shower "basin" and flood the bathroom. we still had curtains but it didn't matter.
now i don't know if this is like a common thing or a one time occurrence, what i assume is that they have different shower head types and faucets in the US, it's not necessarily the "cabin" design, but rather the shower heads are different and they aren't used to how they work or the ones they have are meant to work in closed cabbins.
these no basin/ half/ no door showers are a little messier indeed and you have to wipe the overspray on the floor, but they work fine with a little common sense. they are much easier to maintain and clean than the ones with basins and cabins, there are much less places for bacteria and dirt to grow that need to be cleaned thoroughly.
An american teen would flood the bathroom even if the shower was in another building.
@lululthat explains so much.
Americans: Yeah... I can't shower without soaking the entire place actually.
What are you doing under that shower.. the maccarena?
Coffee laddy: You are ASKING for CREAM... why are you surprised you get CREAM
Yeah, I think that every time, although I have my suspicions.
This is just another case of lower education standards in US. Ignorance is not a consequence of intellegence levels, it's due to bad education.
I'm jotting the cream thing down as cultural idiosyncracies. The milk that comes with the coffee in the Netherlands is usually cream (not whipped) for instance. What surprised me actually is that she ordered plain coffee with milk and not a dessert-in-a-cup. I mean it's still Starbucks take-away sewer water but that's progress of sorts.
Mr. Trump gave me an idea,why don't we check their phones and social media accounts? And if we find a Karen complaining about everything,leaving bad rewievs, or being a MAGA fan, to deny them the visa,for life,if possible?
Why is everyone here aggressive towards the first guy? THE SHOWER DESIGN SUCKS! Period. Mark room as handicap friendly or something. Add a PVC curtain. I want to use as much water as I want, don't tell me how to shower, and to save the resources in the world when USA and Israel are bombing Oil rigs and causing more harm than I would in 1k years of showering with water on for 10 min constant.
And I am not even American.
That coffee girl clip should be titled: It's so hard to say milk if you want some milk...
It's called a wet room, the floor is sloped to the drain, the glass partition is only there to stop the toilet getting wet.
And we are careful where we point the shower can’t understand how he get the floor totally wet
Clearly never seen a shower area for people in wheelchairs, I.e disabled. Transfer to shower and a chair: needs lots of room.
Are tiles not used in USA for anything? As a german i cant imagine a bathroom looking any other than this lol. Ok, mine is not that fancy, but the principle is the same. We do that since the 60s
@CheeseQuiddel the worst floor in a bathroom, I have seen in the UK.
a carpet... a high pile carpet. 5 cm high. in the bathroom.
after some time, that thing will be alive. after 10 years, it will greet you when you enter the bathroom.
And it makes it much easier to clean. Useful for hotels.
In Europe we try to make everything we can in public places accessible to disabled people. Hotels with that type of bathroom are to be applauded, so even someone in a wheelchair can access the shower.
Also helpful for kink
@jordanclark4635 You made me laugh, I wasn’t expecting that comment. (You’re not wrong though.)
@CascadeisI’m just saying, I’ve had a lot of fun with a middle age woman, a bottle of sambuca and a wet room 😂
As a German I visited Coca Cola in Atlanta ...maybe 25 years ago and I learned, "every" country has it's own colours and own recipes. As an American you should know that.
Don't be stupid. A wheelchair wouldn't fit in that room, let alone in the shower. And how the f do you think someone in a wheelchair would be able to get in and out of it? Use the glass screen to support them?
4:55 First of all: It's NOT the same taste!
The European (original) version (by the way: invented in Germany during World War II, long story - short explanation: due to ingredient shortages for Coca-Cola... the name Fanta comes from the word for fantasy)... definitely tastes better!! (I did a taste test).
The U.S. version tastes way too sweet and like pure chemicals!
The "real" Fanta is basically sparkling water, real orange juice concentrate, and sugar (simply put).
The U.S. version is made of water (sparkling/soda), sugar/molasses/corn syrup, artificial flavoring, loads of coloring, and even more chemicals mixed with more coloring!
1:55 The floor is tilted in such a way that the water naturally flows down to the drain. At least all the hotels I've been to have this kid off setup. Also WHERE IN EUROPE??!!! WE ARE NOT A COUNTRY!!!!!
We have this in the uk too but I’m not a fan, if the rooms too small it can mean everything can get wet
I was going to explain the same thing, its a wet room design. Also what the f are people doing if you're getting water everywhere. Must be some proper arm flailing if the whole bathroom is getting soaked.
@IAmTheHierophant
C'mon don't defend it man... this time the american is onto something.
We have so many great solutions to bathroom design.
Bad architecture is a pest.
Building wooden houses is lazy architecture
@CaptainNapking It’s what’s known as an accessible bathroom. That means anyone who has mobility issues can have a shower too. A wet room in a hotel bedroom is essential for any disabled traveler. My late mother had the bathroom in her bungalow converted to a wet room so she could have a wash with a lower risk of accidents. It also helped her carers when she needed help dressing and bathing. This kind of hotel room would have been helpful for her when travelling. Wet rooms are wheelchair friendly.
To the first guy...it is a wetroom as many people have allready mentioned. Second, the shower is not a place to contemplate your failures while the water simulates a meditative waterfall experience. Get wet, soap, scrup, rinse. Done. Stop living as you have unlimited ressources.
I'm the type of guy who showers quick and the first time I used a shower like that it turned a quick shower into a full-on cleaning session, so I have to agree with the guy, unless you have a valid reason to leave the door off (like a disability or something), just make a normal shower cabin, it makes life so much easier.
They get the cheapest hotels/hostels and then complain it's not like Four Seasons
This! It's so much better to not have a door or curtain. The floor is slanted so there's barely anything to clean or dry off afterwards.
Americans do not seem to realize the shower heads are adjustable and can be angled downward according to the person’s height 🤣
Looks like mericans do like to splash water everywhere 😂😂
The open kind of bath rooms are called wet rooms. No need to have glass doors everywhere. They allow forthe physically disabled to access everything without being hindered by small door, spaces,
Only thing dumb is an american calling everything dumb while on holiday without asking someone as to why things are a given way!
Yeah, if you don’t understand a product, it’s probably not designed for you.
Apparently, by EU standards, the food at Taco Bell would not even meet the standards for pet food.
lmao so true XD
You know Taco Bell has many restaurants in Europe right?
@MariaSanchez-u4c8eYes but they operate differently than in the US, with different ingredient sources and qualities, and laws affecting storage and hygiene. Just the fact that the eggs Americans use are unwashed means that regular Taco Bell operations are illegal in Europe.
@demo2823
They don't use unwashed eggs, it's the opposite, they are washed, that's why they have to keep them cool even in the store. In Germany the eggs don't have to be washed, so they last much longer and can be sold at room temperature
There was a video from a female american youtuber having a compilation of tiktok video or other sources in it, where it show the example for US american food crises in 2026, because of fake food. A forest guy in an american forest had layed fresh apples and grapes on the ground for the forest animals and there were small containers with grains in it too for 3 day secretly filming everything with a camera, he left behind. Non of the forest animals or birds touch the apples or grapes except some of the grains.😅😅😅
Don´t worry about us, we Europeans have figured out how to make the ground water tight.
European housing stock tends to be brick n mortar or concrete construction ie is well made, lasts and can cope with a little water at times, the us housing stock is timber, cheap an quick to put up but is limited in lifespan and robustness compared to European build, obviously there are exceptions on both sides but areas in Europe that rely on timber more (like alpine or Scandinavian area) will either use different style showers or build in place wet room style bathrooms designed for this!
And as a French person, if someone says 93, I immediately see 93, not 4 20 and 13.
It's a bit like saying "fast food" or "breakfast," you don't think of "eating fast" or "breaking the fast". You see a fast food sign and a beacon egg.
yep but literally 4 X 20 + 13
Exactly. For those who wonder why, it's because we have 20 digits. Some areas in Europe counted in a 20-base system instead of a 10-base system. Some leftovers stayed, but nobody does the math :) it's just a word having a meaning.
@madness8479as soon as I figured 4x20 I missed the 13 part, giving as they speak like English people on double speed
Dane here, and yeah, we just think of the number. At most we'd be thinking "three and ninety". No one goes, oh, "treoghalvfems" is short for the old "treoghalvfemsindstyvende" which means 3 and (5 - 0.5 ) x 20.
@nicob.2961 nah, the French counted weird after having had the same counting system as Belgium and Switzerland. Myths have it that one of their kings didn't want to appear too elderly, so he had it changed to sound nicer. Such as soixante-dix which is sixty-ten or seventy, instead of septante, octante and nonante. Just weirdness.
15:51 In Europe we use milk on our coffees and teas so if you ask for a coffee with cream, whipped cream from a can is probably what you’re going to get…❤❤❤🇸🇪
2:40 it's simple: if they put the door there, american tourists won't fit into the shower...
I popped on to say the same thing...lol
Well 43% of them wouldn’t fit in the bathroom entirely 😂
😂
That looks like a wet room not a bathroom
Disabled people also wouldn't manage to get in. These are wetrooms, disability accessible showers
5:45 The real GOATs in Europe drink Orangina instead of Fanta, which has a significant part of actual Orange juice in it and tastes amazing
Yes Oangina realy good. I never drink Fanta.
« They have a sausage that goes from our house to Walmart »
And here I am, a European, shocked that you have to drive 60km to Walmart. 😂
Never realised how much Americans have to rely on cars. If you don’t have your licence, I guess you’re just not going anywhere. 🤷♂️
That was the joke. You get a sticker ;)
As someone who by now regularly travels over the US. Yes even in pretty densely located areas you mostly need a car to get around.
Exactly my thought, that distance!!!
Can get everything i need within 5 miles. And if I had to go that 5 miles, I wouldn't be happy about it.
In all honesty, I can walk 5-10 minutes and to do a full grocery shop.
I am 7000 + KM from the nearest Wallmart and happy about it !
I was like "whaaaat" when JT said that 😅 As someone (in Finland) who can look out my kitchen window and see the neon wall logo of our local 24/7 grocery store just across the parking lot and inner yard of our apartment complex, I was perplexed about that distance 😆 Surely, JT has to have some closer grocery store alternative...? 😅
That wet room probably has underfloor heating and a humidity controlled extractor fan, it'll dry in no time.
Normal in Europe, I guess USA did not discover this high tech.
Why is everyone here aggressive towards the first guy? THE SHOWER DESIGN SUCKS! Period. Mark room as handicap friendly or something. Add a PVC curtain. I want to use as much water as I want, don't tell me how to shower, and to save the resources in the world when USA and Israel are bombing Oil rigs and causing more harm than I would in 1k years of showering with water on for 10 min constant.
And I am not even American.
@VSoulChild nothing wrong with the design of the wet room, the bloke is clip is just an idiot.
@Kevin-mf7wb say whatever you want, but this bathroom look like a paradise for mold
@ulutiu it’s called a wetroom because it’s designed to get wet. With the extractor it will be dry in no time.
To the woman who says that the US has the most history....
My school is nearly 150 years older than the US.
"...from our house to Walmart".
Your nearest supermarket is 62 km away?? Wow. That's insane.
The preservatives in the food stop it going off on the trip home.
yeah, in 62km I pass through 3 cities and 20 villages and 50 supermarkets in my country :))
i can walk to tesco in ten minutes and theres an aldi across the road
@RaduRadonys In Liechtenstein, by travelling 62 km, with a little organisation you can visit two countries: Switzerland and Austria.😄🤣😂
I'm 12 minutes walk away - in opposite directions - from two supermarkets.
Has the first guy never seen a ‘Wet Room’? My son has one with a non slip floor in his house.
Wet Rooms are more easily accessible for physically disabled people.
I was just going to say that being disabled myself
I'm Italian and I've never seen one irl
My bathroom is the same, but there was a shower curtain rail. Just having no barrier to the rest of the bathroom is just stupid for all the water splashy reasons so aptly demonstrated in the video. Also there isn't a floor drain to be seen in that video?
rench, and I never seen one that badly designed. At least put a slope and the drain below. I don't get it, even for the hotel staff it mean extra work to clean it.
@JustLiesNOR The floor drain is clearly visible @2:04
My neighbor installed a "new" style when renovating his bathroom - the drain is located in the tile grout so that it's completely invisible! No one is bothered by the old-fashioned drains anymore.
Someone needs to tell the Americans Europe is not a third world country anymore.
When you say cream, you mean milk?!
That's just insane.
Exactly, you wouldn’t say cream if you ate cereal!
It's Not milk it's water and chemicals,sugar etc pretending to look like milk
Remember that is from the same people that call pavement sidewalk and spectacles eye glasses. That cream thing is unhinged.
But then they say gas when they mean gasoline/petrol. What do they say when they mean gas?
Cause cream IS a part of milk. It's definitely not a whipped cream. It's fatty part of milk that rises to the top when milk stands. Don't you have it? I don't understand
I think most "Muricans" have not understood yet that our shower heads are flexible, not tied to the wall. You can take them off, stand with your face to the room, keep the showerhead in front of your body, so the spray will hit the back wall. No problem at all. Stop the water while you use soap / shampoo, start it again to get the foam off your body. Put the showerhead back to it's place and well....... everything is fine.
What I feel you are onto a looser there trying to get the average 'Merikan to save resources and do sensible things as they are famous for thinking they can do whatever they like because they are 'Merikan and have biggly rights that nobody else has ........ no responsibilities that come with rights. Also the unshakeable belief that the US way is the only right way!
well as ive recently learned this might actually be part of it because removable shower heads dont seem to be the norm over there and considered something Fancy you'd have to get as an extra thing for your shower so uhhhhh
The most craziest things in this video: Walmart is about 62km away !!
In my country (Belgium), it's the half way distance between the borders.
If I must ride more than 10km for a grocery, that's way too long, and I live in an isolated corner of the countryside
3:00 how the hell does someone get that much water everywhere... Can't you just wash and rinse while having the water facing away from the rest of the room ???
Yeah I was wondering
Too many years in the military has pretty much institutionalised me into showering by getting myself wet, turning off the shower for soaping up and then turning it back on to rinse off.
Yeah, I do not get it. Yeah, there would be some droplets that escape, but dude... he is like a baby playing in tge water
Above all, when it comes to Fanta, the version sold in the U.S. bears the label “Contains no orange juice,” while in Europe, depending on the country, it must contain between 12% and 25%,
Crikey-having *once* tried the US version when living there.... that label really should say "Contains no prospect of rest" I'm a grown ass man who is old enough to have survived (and been unnaffected by) things like Blue Colourants that were notorious here in the 1980's..... but one can of US Fanta and I was literally climbing walls, bouncing on furniture, shrieking and hysterically laughing at absolutely nothing. For Hours. Then had the sorest head that lasted for days.... with no clue that all of their medicine had different names (all probably originally brand names) so couldn't even buy anything to dull that pain.
I don't even really want to say what effect it seemed to have on my kidney function or digestive tract, but when my pee smelled of poop.... and my poop seemed too fast and too fizzy.... I knew US Fanta was not for me 🤣
Anywhere in Europe, if you call your liquid "fruit juice", it must contain some actual fruit.
Last time I checked, European Fanta had around 3 to 4% of fruit juice. That is not more than a figleaf. I'm out of beer, I'm off to the Getränkemarkt. When I get back, I will report what a German Fanta consists of according to the label.
12% is not the minimum in europe. pretty sure the fanta in germany has like 1-3% at most. and iirc greek italy and/or spain have pretty high numbers since they grow a lot of oranges. around 12-15% juice iirc.
I just checked on the bottle i had in my fridge, its the Swedish sugarrfree version (ZERO) and it has 4% orangejuice, i think the sugared version has 5%. There is a classic Swedish orange soda (since the 1950´s) that is named "Zingo" and it has 8% orange juice and i think it is better than Fanta and it is cheaper as well, i usually buy that instead.
It's called a wet room which is good for disabled people.
I can't understand why Americans always get so worked up when they see that in Europe you can take individual bottles out of a pack at the supermarket... but then again, they come from a country where no one has ever heard of small portions or individual products. After all, they sell bags of chips the size of sleeping bags over there. What I personally find completely crazy in American supermarkets is that taxes aren’t added to the price until you get to the checkout. You have no idea beforehand how much it’ll cost in the end. What if you’re on a budget and have to count every penny? Then you can either do a math marathon beforehand, or take a gamble at the register and hope it’s enough, or what?
Well, not everywhere in Europe. There are countries where this is frowned upon
you just add like 10% in your head (most sales taxes are below that), and then feel happy if you have a few coins left over..
The best part is the unsold loose items end up on the discount shelf- where lives off brand Radler and sugar free Red Bull 🤣
Here in Croatia you can for most part take drinks out of a pack but it's often not needed because there are individual bottles or cans on the shelf nearby and packs are for people who want the whole pack because it's easier to carry one pack than 4 or 6 or 8 individual bottles (depending on the pack)
It is easy to see the difference between packaged cans/bottles, usually cardboard, and quite "solid", and those that can be torn open... Also, price of the pack and the individual product is clearly visible. Usually...
Lady birds will eat other insects and pests on your plants. Dont kill them, try and direct them to a plant in need
They are probably Asian Lady beetles, not lady bugs. Asian Lady beetles are an invasive species in the US, they don't have many native predators, smell bad and can bite humans and pets.
A plant in need is a plant indeed
@sholto_depumaI'm actually laughing outloud
@sholto_depuma I've actually laughed outloud
@TomasSkäreWe have them in the UK too, they are also invasive but no need to kill them, we're not advised to destroy them
In italian "latte" means "milk"
16:10 No it doesn't!!! Cream is CREAM, Milk is milk! When I worked at Starbucks and someone asked for CREAM, we grabbed the cream, which being in America probably has enough sugar itself for at least two(probably closer to three) cups of coffee! I think this girl goes to the same Starbucks and they just know what she wants and has never corrected her!
I thought this was going to be her complaining because we have all those flavored creamers(I have heard some people say they even just drink this straight), which are also usually filled with sugars as well!
01:12 it's a wet room. You have them in the USA too.
A coffee for an American: Mega elongated coffee (sock juice) + sugar + milk + caramel + chantilly + cream + chocolate + .....
A coffee for a European : Coffee with maybe some sugar and milk
11:30 Glad that we Germans aren´t always the weird ones when it comes to naming or describing stuff 😂
It's a wet room and I'm sure the guy filming it had sprayed a little extra water for drama's sake.
Why is everyone here aggressive towards the first guy? THE SHOWER DESIGN SUCKS! Period. Mark room as handicap friendly or something. Add a PVC curtain. I want to use as much water as I want, don't tell me how to shower, and to save the resources in the world when USA and Israel are bombing Oil rigs and causing more harm than I would in 1k years of showering with water on for 10 min constant.
And I am not even American.
@VSoulChild are you just pasting the same reply to every comment?
@VSoulChild Many new or renovated hotels use wet rooms to create a "spa feeling" and wet rooms are often used to optimize space in smaller hotel rooms. This is a fact and has nothing to do with aggression.
@VSoulChildAre you sure you're not American, cause you sure is as stupid as they are. You can't have a shower curtain in a hotel, it very unhygenic as they just build up with bacteria. No one have to shower for ten minutes, even if they had bombed 100 countries as the water is a limited resource, and when its empty its empty. There's already countries in the world that are affected by climate changes that has no drinking water. I guess you just think about yourself, so you're either American or just narcissistic 😅
@VSoulChildI have a friend with the same design in bathroom and they do not have this problem. The design is minimalistic for very small bathrooms. Also less to clean.
The American woman saying anything about europeans making coffee, as she holds a starbucks cup ! Europeans definitely know how to do coffee , and im from Victoria , Australia, where we have a great longstanding European influence with our coffee, starbucks tried to get their way in here, but pretty much failed dismally. Its not the Europeans that are uncultured love
I'll never understand americans' points about everything flooding in the bathroom. What the hell do you do in your showers? Do you actively turn your showerheads towards the counters or something?
Hold on. Drip coffee? That shit stopped existing like 25 years ago.
Not all people use head, I guess.
@rekslegiune6004 lmao. that without context is exactly my humor.
also drip coffee is in fact very alive and well. some people prefer it. there are many techniques to do it. its a very professional hobby in a way. but that cheap shit drop coffee? yeah thats hella disgusting lol
44g of sugar!!
Omg! the recommended daily allowance for an adult is 30g.
Drink 2/3 of that can and that’s your adult daily allowance of sugar for the rest of the day. No fruit, dairy, no refined carbohydrates.
No wonder America has a diabetes crisis.
Yeah and i thought 10g/100ml in pepsi is alot :D
What is the difference in drinking the European one with 15g/100 mL? It is 49,5g sugar in that can.
@b@b6983832e said total for can of Fanta, 4.5-6.5/100ml depending on country it gives roughly 15g/can. It’s Pepsi that has ~10g/100ml.
@b6983832 everything is difference... USA is legit using chems.
@b6983832 its 15g per 330ml can.
2:02 I hope he never goes to Japan; he might be surprised.
1:32 the bathroom is in this case supposed to be wet proof, hence its all tiles. its also pretty standard to have a blower synced up with the light switch that goes on as you enter and keeps running for a couple minutes, sometimes by moisture sensors. that keeps airflow in the room till the water evaporates and naturally dries up/gets sucked out of the room.
Additionally the lack of a door could be an extra cautionary decision for the hotel as if someone has a fall or if there is a fire alarm, delays could be problematic, though it's more likely a spacing issue looking at the size of that room.
Also WC literally stands for water closet
*an extractor
2:07 yes, that's the drain and yes, it's sloped
Bathrooms like this are actually much easier to keep clean. You always have a floor squeegee with a mop stick handle and when you are done showering, you quickly squeegee the water to the drain in seconds. Floor always looks freshly mopped. And when you actually clean the bathroom, you can essentially hose it all down which gives a much more intense clean in the dirtiest room of the house. To prevent mold, Europeans open all the windows a few times per day to get fresh air flowing through. Good for the house and good for your health. I'm American, living in Germany for past 18 years. The things that seem weird at first, you very quickly learn that they are actually quite brilliant and I wouldn't want to switch back.
Did they weigh the building? NO! They know the weight of the materials used to build the damn thing
4:28 They are the same brand but not the same formulation. The European one is made with actual juice
I mean Fanta was invented first in one of the countries in Europe I think it was Germany I don't remember
@eclipse-solar_neptune It was Germany.
Dracula is based on Vlad the Impaler.
Bathroom doesn't get wet, unless you spray around like crazy or run it for an hour. Slanted tiles work really well, but when I had American guests, they did manage to make the floor wet - they just let the shower run for 40min while they did all the other stuff in the bathroom, and they didn't even look which way the shower was spraying, but other than that - it works very well and it's more sanitary than curtains or something that retains the water in a small part of the bathroom
A well laid out bathroom with a floor-level shower shouldn't get wet, as you've said.
There's usually a minuscule incline to make sure the water drains properly to either the drain in the floor or drain in the wall. (The latter being an absolute bs to plan, execute and clean)
The water shouldn't flow out, even if the shower runs for ages, but if the user is a troglodite and aims the showerhead towards the room.. well.. not much the shower can do about it. Or of they wander around the room without drying halfway off first.
You invited Americans into your actual home? Are you nuts?
02:15 - This right here is the main issue.
Mold only happens in very humid places or with certain construction materials (like wood, drywall, etc). If the normal humidity is low and the wall/floor concrete, there is no cause for concern. No mold problems.
The other issue is that Americans are used to soaping, shampooing, etc while the water is running down.
Did you know the Nazis invented Fanta in WW2.
So that’s why your President looks like Orange Man, he drinks American Fanta.
Look at what he eats, No Wonder hes a lunatic.
If you ask for cream in your coffee outside of America you’ll get weird looks and get cream.
You can ask in the Netherlands and Greece for coffee milk
@willhovell9019not cream though is the point mate. Asking for cream when you want milk is weird
@trevorcook4439 no it isnt.
because you dorks dont differentiate between Whipped cream and cream. The normal reaction would be to ask if they wanted whipped cream or cream.
@JoriDiculousif you want milk, ask for milk. Don’t ask for cream. Pretty simple
I'm 99% sure that the girl talking about coffee is making stuff up, I have been around most of the EU so far, and coffee with cream, is coffee with cream, and they don't get that wrong, I have literally NEVER experienced that.
The baristas aren't that stupid, especially since ALL people under the age of 45 have grown up with English as a second language, and we know the difference between milk and cream, and whipped cream.
7:16 take a look at the ingredients - In the US-Fanta there is absolutely no orange Juice in - In Europe there is at least 3% Orange Juice in it.
In Germany, Spain, Italy, and other European countries, you have to order coffee with milk, not with cream; but you call coffee with milk “cream,” and here, “cream” really means cream and not coffee with milk
America known for healthy food ..... "Roughly over 1,400 additives, chemicals, or E-number equivalents used in the U.S. are banned or restricted in Europe. The exact number is tricky because definitions of additives, flavorings, and GRAS substances differ." .... I'll just leave this here
4:16 ITS FREDDY FAZBEAR
1:20...many hotels bathroom are the so called "wet room" where there is a drain in the middle. It's was an honestly outdated concept aimed to speed and facilitate cleaning for housekeepers
Its called a wet room and its designed for disabled people to have ease of access
8:33 _"It's widely acceptable in Spanish grocery stores to open cases slashpacks if you want a single soda, beer, etc. instead of buying the whole case."_
Also in many other countries.. like Germany, the Netherlands, France, Italy..
Although many stores in these countries stock both multipacks and individual cans, bottles or juice boxes on the shelves.
12:27 As a Dane, I promise you, that no one thinks about what the words actually means, when we’re counting.
We would scream and jump from a high places of we did
To me the math aint mathing. 3+5 minus half is 4.5? Shouldn't it be 4?
Danish uses a "half-score" (half-twenty) system where "-s" or "-sindstyve" implies a multiple of 20, and "halv" (half) indicates "halfway to" the next twenty.
RUclips
RUclips
+1
50: Fifty (short for fifty, meaning "halfway from 2 to 3 times 20" or
)
60: Three (short for sixty, meaning 3 times 20)
70: Seventy (short for Seventy, meaning "halfway from 3 to 4 times 20" or
)
80: Firs (short for eighty, meaning 4 times 20)
90: Ninety (short for Ninety, meaning "halfway from 4 to 5 times 20" or
Key Takeaways
50+ Numbers: The "half" means halfway to the next twenty, not half-past.
60 and 80: Three (3x20) and Firs (4x20) are the base-20 anchors.
50, 70, 90: Fifty (2.5x20), Seventy (3.5x20), Ninety (4.5x20).
100+: Numbers are more standard, e.g., 100 is hundred, 1000 is thousand.
Time: Similar to the number system, halv tre (half three) means 2:30 (halfway to 3).
As a Dane i find this system ridiculously complicated. But as Heine said we dont think about it ^^
It is even worse that in french, seventy being "soixante dix", sixty ten, eighty "quatre vingt" four twenty, ninety ""quatre vingt dix"four twenty ten... Sixteen is "seize", but seventeen "dix sept" ten seven, eighteen "dix huit" ten eight, and so on. Belgium and Switzerland only have "septante", "octante" and "nonante", 70, 80, 90, a good way to tell nationality when there is very little accent involved.
But it is the way we learn, so easy. Dutch numbers are a major p.i.a to lean for foreigners.
Spot on (I'm also s Dane)
The "bathroom" is a wetroom, it's purpose designed to be waterproofed. The toilet is a bidet
13:23 On the topic of healthy eating: I was once in an American military canteen. For dessert, they served sheet cake with a sugar glaze so sweet that you got cavities just from looking at it.😁
It's a shower, not a bathtub. You don't need to fill it with water. The water simply falls from the showerhead; you stand underneath it and wash yourself. Why should the water flow into other rooms? I don't understand the problem.
Bathrooms are easier to clean with a spigot/hose and mop/squeegee. Tile on floor and walls, and floor slopes to a drain. Mold grows in the folds of shower curtains. Can tell how much this guy cleans. Not WEEKLY but right after you shower. Open concept allows airflow so mold doesn't start. Tile is 100% waterproof. Not like US tile stuck on with mortar.
It’s a wet room. The walls and floor are “tanked” waterproofed, then tiled with a slight slope to the drain. It’s very easy to clean. Humidity and moisture are not problem since you either have an extractor fan, or just open the window.
2:23 the glass is siliconed on the bottom so water doesn't get past and I don't know how you shower to get everything wet
3:00 as a Scottish person we have those showers in our home
3:40 im Finnish plumbing student. Bathroom is a wet space and it will dry itself over night. I still recomend you wipe the water of the floor into the drain. It will be dry in few hours.
Yep. And is 2 in 1. Clean yourself and the bathroom in one go.
Yep! But it's Americans You're talking to. They need a manual for literally everything except for starting wars.
Heated floor and boosted ventilation make it even faster, even half hour.
We added a wet room instead of a normal shower, safer as we get older. The entire bathroom stays dry apart from the shower area where the water runs to the drain. We squeegee down after a shower simply to help keep things clean in our hard water area. I really don't see what the problem is with them, but then again we just get in there, get clean and get out again, we don't spend hours under the shower.
That first guy has never played sports and never used communal showers. Probably only showers at his parents' home wearing swimming trunks. Also how did he manage to flood the bathroom? I bet he deliberately pointed the shower head to create this mess.
That is a wet room, Some newer houses/hotel rooms have to be made to accommodate disabled people, for wheelchair access.
4:00 I have a bathroom like this and I have no problem with it. It takes me 4 seconds to dry the floor. The rest does not get wet if you don’t do the hokey pokey when you’re showering.
You'll be surprised in how many foods or chemicals in food are banned in Europe but accepted in America
I tried Fanta, once when I went to the US - not knowing it was any different. Fanta in the US leaves an aftertaste, maybe slightly greasy. It's super sweet. I have latterly found out that they use HFCS. I would never, voluntarily, drink it, ever again
"leaves an aftertaste, maybe slightly greasy". That is the (high-fructose) corn sirup.
I hated USA Fanta the only time I drank it and in Spain our Fanta has a high sugar percentile. 😅
That "greacy" aftertaste is from high-fructose corn syrup. It's a sugar replacement they use in USA.
When you're at the supermarket, just look at the price tags.
Sometimes there's a price tag for a single bottle and one for the whole pack. In that case, you can open the pack.
If there's only a price tag for the whole pack, you can't open it.
Why not do like in Finland,we have both single bottles and bigger pack for bottles
Either that or more simply (at least that's what I see in French supermarkets) if the bottle is sold individually somewhere else. Especially for 1.5L bottles, they are often apart in the store (not by much, but you would be searching in vain for a single bottle price on the "pack shelf).
Honestly this is so common I'm not even aware of a single food product that you can't buy separately. This isn't true for others products, tho, like you can't split batteries packs.
or there are whole packs and lone cans at the side and you got whatever you need, at least here in Spain.
⚠️a german coke have 10,6g sugar!⚠️
It’s terrifying to see what America puts in its food & drink, additives that are banned everywhere else, sugar etc. I swear even the bread tastes sweet & lasts forever without going mouldy or stale!
I remember as a kid that I was told they let sit outside of the fridge an American burger and it looked fine after days... I now understand how it would be fine yeah.
10:40 as a french person this was hilarious🤣
As a housekeeper which worked in several countries in Europe, I can say that this bathroom is pretty much easier to clean then the bathrooms which have bath curtains or glass doors. The reason is the calk. The calk is very hard to be removed from the glass doors and you have to do that every day. In the bathroom in the video you just wipe the floor and thats it.
11:00 french: 4*20+13=93
This I understood mathematicaly, but danish.....no😅😅😅
@b.b.silverga9604 Yes, just look at my post! 😀
Whenever you say "it feels wrong" you are just proving that the indoctrination works
Ther is a litle grey line in the shower. That is a drain or whatever it is caled. So you are suposed to shower with your back turned to that and it Will drain all the water
It's called a wet room, and it makes life a lot easier for people who don't always fit into a conventional shower. Like, for example, people with wheelchairs full stop it costs a lot more to have a wet room fitted in your house than an ordinary bathroom, but it makes life a lot easier and they are not especially difficult to clean. In fact, they are easier to clean than a usual bathroom. Full stop Americans are just confused by water. In general, they can't handle plumbing.
My bro works as plumer so he knows some stuf, this shower system is good for old people.
I invited an American into my home once. This was a very very big mistake. We are not friends anymore.
begrijpelijk
@irma567begripligt
Elaborate?
I lived in Malaga in Spain for 2 years, originally from Sweden. They thing that blew my mind was the fact that their night clubs open at 2 am, ours close at 2 am. ^^
It’s a wet room. It’s common in Japan and doesn’t take much to work out.
Did thinking become against the law at some point?
Yeah, it is so weird that people are so afraid to get there bathroom wet?
@sigisig3941 If you lived in a house build using american standards, you'd also be afraid of getting your bathroom wet.
Costs a lot of money to have someone come in, tear down your mold infested crap bathroom and install a new mold free crap bathroom.
@WolfFireheart how can paper cost so much? xD
@WeAreCrooked Nono!
Its having to pay the people to tear it down and re-build it all the ime that costs! :p
@sigisig3941dry wall is not easily waterproofed
Has he never seen a wet room before. The clue is in the name. My bathroom is a wet room with noneslip floors. You use a bath mat to keep your feet dry. As a elderly woman, it's a life saver. No getting stuck in a bath you can't get out of and a seat in the shower. ❤
No it's a wet room with a drain
5:50 What a surprise... There are over 200 different recipes for Fanta. Even the one in the Netherlands tastes completely different from the one in Germany.
But if you look at the various recipes in Europe, they all tend to be very close to each other. The difference mostly being in the exact amount and combination of juice (mostly orange juice, but some use some lemon in the basic Fanta as well). Compare that with the US recipe and... You're not even in the same ballpark.
@lubuergi Yes, and the US variety is probably the only one that doesn't contain any orange juice.
@MaekiBusch I think it is, yes.
@lubuergi Italian fanta was really good, but they changed the recipe to be more like the one we have at home.
Dont remember it being that different as i lived in Germany tbh
