Wait a minute! You are telling me that it is trendy to wear Birkenstocks with socks in the us? We Germans have been ridiculed for doing that for decades!
Not with Birkenstocks. Birkenstocks are usually worn with thick woolen socks in natural colors (beige or light grey) that are handwoven and untreated, to rub the fact in, that you are environmentalist. The urge to ridecule someone for wearing socks in sandals is overwritten by the urge to ridicule them for wearing Birkenstocks anyways ;-P
Fun Fact: Der Gründer von Adidas (Adi Dassler) hat sich zu Beginn seiner Karriere mit seinem Bruder zerstritten. Und dieser Bruder ist dann losgezogen und hat seine eigene Firma gegründet. Eine kleine Firma namens Puma :)
Naja, ich würde 10 min zu Fuß durch Herzogenaurach nicht als losziehen bezeichen .. aber ja ;-). Die kleine Stadt war wohl bis in die 90er recht hart in 2 Lager geteilt ...
That's right, and just what I was about to tell her before seeing your comment. 😂 Yes, the Dassler brothers owned a factory, then they split because of personal animosities towards each others. Adolf (Adi) then founded *Adidas* while Rudolf founded *PUMA*. 😀 It made me smile to see you didn't know this story before, but since you've got one or two or so followers now it isn't much of a deal, at least not for you. 😁
@@duemrol Yes but actually no. VW owns the Porsche Holding GmbH and the Porsche AG (the actual manufacturer). But the Porsche Automobil Holding SE holds large chunks of the voting rights for VW (somewhere around 52% iirc). The Porsche Automobil Holding SE itself is controlled by the original founders of the Porsche Holding GmbH. Its pretty confusing, but technically the original comment is absolutely right.
@@Mooooov0815 Porsche Holding SE was the owner of the Porsche AG(the manufacturer) so the name is not a coincidence. They tried to buy VW Group and were successful so far to get more then 50% of voting right shares. But now they were too short on cash. So the take over ended on a still-mate. Due to still-mate agreement VW Group would buy Porsche AG(the manufacturer) from them, so the Porsche SE would get the desperately needed cash, but in exchange not continue with the take over. The result is Porsche SE owns VW Group and VW Group owns Porsche AG.
@@Dachrinnensaeufer But huge differences in material quality. Generally, the Steiff toy you find in your main street store is equally cheaply produced as your average stuffed animal from China and solely made out of synthetic materials. However, you still can buy the original top quality stuffed animals out of mohair wool and with top notch production quality, but they are not on stock everywhere like their cheap cousins and have three digit prices.

Jim Beam is also partly german, since it's founders original name was Johannes Jakob Böhm, a german immigrant. There are a lot of US companies that were found by german immigrants back in the day.
@C J Yeah they were and they ranted each other out to the Americans after the war. They were Nazis from believe yes, but they are out of a time where it was "normal" to be Nazi or to get into an KZ. soo what if. And to be clear I don't say it is ok to be Nazi this, it is definitely not
@C J I still don't see your point related to the topic of the video. I mean, if there's a video about American cars, would anyone bring up slavery or racism?!
Capri Sun is also a German product. Montblanc and Persil of course also. The car rental company Sixt, the shaver from Braun as well as Osram and the super glue Loctite. The shampoo Dial or Fa are from Henkel, typically German.
You have to go to the HARIBO Store in Bonn-Bad Godesberg. It's huge and has a way bigger variety then a common grocery store. And not even HARIBO, also RITTER SPORT, MILKA or brands like these
@Louis # have you ever been there compared to the other one? It is soooo expensive, and of course way smaller. It's more expensive bc of its location and the tourists
Hugo Boss originally taylored workwear and founded his company in 1924. When the Nazis came up he started to produce uniforms for them for the Hitlerjugend, SA and SS. It was after the war that he and mainly his successor started to produce men's fashion, mainly suits and shirts.
einige Firmen haben im zweiten Weltkrieg für die Nazis produziert. Denn entweder sie produzieren oder die Nazis machen die Firma zu. Wenn nötig mit Gewalt. Man muss immer bedenken dass nicht ganz Deutschland damals in der NSDAP war. Aber man konnte nichts dagegen sagen sonst wäre man der nächste vor dem Gewehr gewesen. Dunkle Zeit in der Geschichte aber es ist wichtig sich daran zu erinnern damit solche Taten nicht wiederholt werden.
Rosario Bonanno diese Relativierung von „es waren nicht alle in der NSDAP“ ist Humbug - es gab nur einen marginalen, fast schon unbedeutenden, deutschen Widerstand, und sonst haben sie alle brav mitgemacht. Und man kann Firmen nicht einfach frei sprechen mit „sie hatten ja keine Wahl - denn man hat immer eine Wahl“
@@xyincognito mir ist schon bewusst dass es genügend Mitläufer gab. Ich kann es nur nicht brauchen dass man sagt diese und jene Firma hat damals Nazis unterstützt. Und sie damit irgendwie in Dreck zieht. Von boss über Adidas. Wmf usw jeder hat drin gesteckt.
@@xyincognito Mein Großvater sowie mein Großonkel haben beide nicht die NSDAP unterstützt. Mein Opa hat noch Juden geholfen zu fliehen und mein Großonkel ist, als er zu einer Versammlung gerufen wurde, einfach wieder aus dem Fenster geklettert und ist gegangen. Dennoch mussten bei in den Krieg ziehen. Mein Opa hat das überlebt, der Großonkel nicht. Du siehst es gab Widerstand auch wenn er klein war. Ich glaube nicht, dass das so einfach war mit der "Wahl". Niemand hier von uns kann das im geringsten nach empfinden, wie es damals war, da keiner von uns dabei war. Es ist einfach im nachhinein zu Urteilen.
Alea CroniX Auch wenn du es nicht böse meinst, aber du bist wahrscheinlich einer der 18% der Deutschen, die zwar denken, dass ihre Großeltern Juden geholfen hätten, dies aber wahrscheinlich gar nicht gemacht haben. Nur 1,6 Promille (also 0.16%) haben Juden oder anderen NS-Verfolgten geholfen und da ist schon schöngerechnet. Realistisch betrachtet haben sogar noch weniger Menschen sich gegen den Staat aufgelehnt. Vielleicht weißt du es auch nicht anders, weil es dir so erzählt wurde, aber bis du Beweise für Gegenteiliges hast musst du davon ausgehen, dass deine Großeltern auch nur Anhänger des Regimes waren.
Wir sagen: Der Teddybär hat einen "Knopf im Ohr", dass ist dann ein original Steiff Teddybär. Birkenstock Schuhe sind sehr beliebt im Krankenhaus, also Krankenschwestern benutzen diese gerne bei ihrer täglichen Arbeit.
Hello Montana, did you know that the founder of STEIFF (Margarete Steiff) was disabled? But she was the boss in her company. There is also a movie about her life. But I guess only in German. No problem for you. Du sprichst hervorragend gut deutsch!!!!! Bitte versuche den Film zu finden und sieh ihn dir an. She is grow up in the Black Forrest.
There are two reasons why Americans don't know many brands are German: 1. German heritage is huge in the US and German ancestry is one of the most common there, so they take German names as "oh yeah, their great great great grand parents came from there". 2. Ignorance and thinking the US is the center of the planet :D. Look up where Chevrolet actually comes from, or Levi Strauss ("Levi's"), just to name a few that are even globally seen as American. They might have been founded there but the founders were not American. I would also suggest to look up proper pronunciation. Niv-ay-a is the proper pronunciation for Nivea.
It is supposed to cater to American English because that is her mother tongue and that's what she understands the best =). Maybe "Nee-vay-ah" is better, it makes more sense pronunciation-wise :D.
Actually the founders of Puma and Adidas are brothers. They wanted to found a company together, but ended up fighting about the name, so Adi Dassler founded Adidas and his brother Rudolf Dassler Puma(I think it was Rudolf, but I don't know for sure)
What I missed to bue when I was in Rewe last time were some Haribo Vampire, they are so yummie. Taste german and american Haribo the same or are,the americans sweeter ?
Krakra Kranich had you compared german and american Haribo and can tell me if those are different ? I know that american candy is most times sweeter, I‘m especially asking about Haribo.
that wasnt the reason they split up. adi dassler, the founder of adidas, wanted to make the best possible shoe and that was all he focused on. rudolf dassler, founder of puma, wanted to make as much profit as possible and eventually they split up because they had different goals with the company
@@hornjoshua not quite but they also ranted eath other out to the americans after the war for beeing a nazi. That also was a big point in them breaking up their small company they had befor where they invented the Stollenschuh for the german nationalteam and made the Wunder Von Bern possible
The history of Puma and Adidas is actually quite interesting because the companies are founded by two brothers ☺️ there is an interesting German film called „Duell der Brüder“ about it 😊
Trader Joe’s belongs to Aldi Nord. Aldi Süd owns the rights to the Aldi brand in the US which is why Aldi Nord could not use it. Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd are two separate companies. In a sense it is similar to Adidas and Puma only that they kind of work together in the sense that they separated their market in Germany geographically.
Where I live in Germany, Birkenstocks are very popular under the female teenagers and young women, but only the ones which look like flip flops. In this type of Birkenstocks you don't wear socks of course and people use them to go outside, too. They're seen as cool summer shoes.
American brands founded by Germans: Heinz (the ketchup makers, actually the families of Heinz and Trump are related back in Germany), Boeing (the aircraft company, originally Böing), Oscar Mayer (sausages), Berlitz (language schools), Anheuser-Busch (beer), Yuengling (beer, originally Jüngling), Coors (beer), Pfizer (pharmaceutics), Levi Strauss (clothing), Steinway (pianos, originally Steinweg), Bausch & Lomb (contact lenses, medical supplies)
The founders of Adidas und Puma were two brothers Adolf and Rudolf Dassler who started out together but split up after WWII. Adidas is a made-up based on the first two letters of Dassler’s first and the first three letters from has last name. Both companies have their headquarters in Herzogenaurach, near Nürnberg.
Not quite the first to letters of Adolf but it is made of his nickname "Adi". And Puma was also at first named after Rudolf but got changed by his managment. It was named "Ruda" . I know the first one is a bit nitpicky but the second could be interesting^^

Keep smiling and teaching us more. Weiter, weiter! Wir schätzen dich! Daumen oben!
hando hall a year, maybe two. I guess it depends on if you live in the city or in the countryside. I bought my pair of flip-flop sandals 2 years ago and I’m still wearing them because they‘re so comfortable.
hando hall True. Yes, they were popular or are still popular but only in metallic colors and as sort of flip-flops. The old ones in black and brown I guess even white are often worn as slippers at home.
The brand Porsche actually comes from the name Ferdinand Porsche, who also created the first Beetle for Volkswagen. About Adidas, the pronunciation is on the first A, so it is "AH-di-das"^^
They also made a different "Tower" for the Tiger II Tank there was also a version from Henschel that was common cause the Porsche version was too expensiv
Sennheiser, Stihl, Kärcher, Bosch, Abus, Grundig, AEG and certainly some others. Many of the brands have their origins in Germany, but are increasingly being bought up by companies that only sell their products with the good reputation of the brand name.
That's global economy for you... ;-) One of my friends at Uni told me about her exchange year in the US. Her host family were nice people, but when she arrived, they decided that coming from Germany, she had to be educated about a new invention called "microwave oven" - that was back some time, and they really weren't that common then. She listened politely until they had finished, and then just asked one question: "Do you know what AEG is the abbreviation for?" But hey, sometimes even stuff we think we have thought through in advance ends up in embarassement - there was that time when my guest mum in England picked me up from the ferry, and - fully aware of the road side issue - I nevertheless walked right up to the right hand side of the car. There's nothing like embarassement to remind you from time to time to stay grounded.
Even if you do not look just for German brands - it just is interesting how many of the real American brands have founders that emigrated from Germany - not just Trump and Heinz.
Es ist auch immer interessant zu hören wie unterschiedlich die Marken in Englisch und Deutsch ausgesprochen werden! It's always interesting to hear how differently we pronounce brand names in English and German!
Porsche gehört mit zu Volkswagen. They are two seperated parts of the same family, that runs these companies. Porsche split off after a fight in the family, if I remember correctly...But for some years now they‘re back together.

Porsche because of the founder Ferdinand Porsche. Porsche was also known for producing tractors. Even the first car powered by a engine was invented by the german Carl Benz. Many americans believe that Henry Ford invented the car, but he was just the first car-producer using a assembly line to produce faster to make them cheap.the Inventor of jeans Brand "Levis" is also a german Guy called Levi Strauss. You even forgot to mention that the mp3 format was invented in Germany

hey, I know the Steif products very good, from my little village it's about 10km then there is the Steiff museum. in this small town Steiff is invented. It's so worth seeing and beautiful there. I was there so many times and in Germany it's very popular. I just want to say this and I'm German so sorry for my bad English.
These are the most important German brand: Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Skoda, Audi, Buggati, Royce Rolce, Bentley, Lamborghini, Deuz, Haribo, Adidas, a lot of companies making spezial machines and micro-chips etc.
And I think you have so many German brands because of America’s history😂 (I watched yesterday’s a video where a American mom showed her toys for her kids and all brands where German British or Spanish but the most German! I thought that is really funny )

Birkenstock fun fact: officially registered brand since 1774. Steiff, since 1880. Adi and Rudi Dassler were brothers and they are the founders of Adidas and Puma respectively.
I am from Germany and i know all thes Brands very well .But i didn't know that americans have so much Things which are from Germany. Now i am proud on our contry . : )
Aldi is also a story of brothers. Karl founded Aldi Süd, which owns Aldi in the US, his brother Theo founded Aldi Nord, which actually owns Trader Joe’s.

@@svengaefgen5909 It's Latin (not "Roman") and it means "snow-like" or "white as snow". The Latin word for snow is "nix", genitive "nivis", and the adjective is derived from that.
In 1924, Rudolf and his brother Adolf Dassler had jointly formed the company, The relationship between the two brothers deteriorated until the two agreed to split in 1948 to Adidas and Puma both companys still have the HQ in the same town Haribo it cant keep up with demand in the USA so it announced they will be opening their first United States factory, a 500,000 sq ft (46,500 m²), 400 employee manufacturing plant in Kenosha County, Wisconsin, scheduled to open in 2020 maybe a little bit later now
There are too many weird or illogical pronounciations in the English language. I guess you get used to it if you are a native speaker. Example: "The dead Earl eats a steak." Four times "ea", four different pronounciations.
@@MontanaShowalter Klaus Märtens was a doctor in World War II. He and a former student colleague became partners and the two of them opened a factory in Munich in 1952 and produced the first shoes. A Briton was enthusiastic about the idea of the Germans and acquired the production license. So actually it was a German idea, but later it was developed and produced in England.
There is not only Birkenstock for comfortable sandals. But since Birkenstock has become more and more popular, prices have been rising steadily. I have been using Bioline for years. For me they are even more comfortable. You can buy them for just € 16.
Nivea belongs to Beiersdorf and is just one brand of them. I work myself at Beiersdorf in Berlin, Germeny. We produce the Showergels, Shampoos and Conditioners for Nivea :-D
Many people in Germany wear Adidas pants for actual sports, but not for other activities. The reason is simple: Typically, a lot of rather poor immigrants used to wear them a lot for all leisure activities (as a status symbol). So many non-immigrants usually associate these pants with bad manners and don't wear them too much.
Fun Fact: Puma and Adidas was in the past one brand. The company were two brothers Rudi and Adi Dassler and they had a fight, and since then Puma and Adidas were two brands, and lead by one the two brothers.
There are so much more brands which are popular in the US which originally came from germany. Capri sun, Siemens, Persil (Henkel), Fa shower utensils (Henkel aswell), Braun (shavers n stuff), Osram (Illuminants), Bosch, Bayer pharmaceuticals, Continental (car parts & tires). I could name much more but i don't want to write a novel :D
Not rly. German Soilders invented it in WW2 after the coca cola suplie was cut off. They threw some stuff in a pot to male their own drink and found it to be enjoyable for war and frontline Ssandards. Still the original tast not like todays reciep the slightest.
Birkenstocks are kind of a meme in Germany, at least for teenagers. Have you ever heard the term "Alman"? It basically portraits a typical German, following every law, wearing birkenstocks with white tennis socks, etc. There is a song by Phil Laude, it's called "Alman" and it describes the whole thing pretty good. 😊

German women and girls have been wearing the modern versions of Birkenstock’s for years in the summer. And never with socks. They are in fashion.
Hugo Boss originally taylored workwear and founded his company in 1924. When the Nazis came up he started to produce uniforms for them for the Hitlerjugend, SA and SS. It was after the war that he and mainly his successor started to produce men's fashion, mainly suits and shirts.
einige Firmen haben im zweiten Weltkrieg für die Nazis produziert. Denn entweder sie produzieren oder die Nazis machen die Firma zu. Wenn nötig mit Gewalt.
Man muss immer bedenken dass nicht ganz Deutschland damals in der NSDAP war. Aber man konnte nichts dagegen sagen sonst wäre man der nächste vor dem Gewehr gewesen.
Dunkle Zeit in der Geschichte aber es ist wichtig sich daran zu erinnern damit solche Taten nicht wiederholt werden.
Rosario Bonanno diese Relativierung von „es waren nicht alle in der NSDAP“ ist Humbug - es gab nur einen marginalen, fast schon unbedeutenden, deutschen Widerstand, und sonst haben sie alle brav mitgemacht. Und man kann Firmen nicht einfach frei sprechen mit „sie hatten ja keine Wahl - denn man hat immer eine Wahl“
@@xyincognito mir ist schon bewusst dass es genügend Mitläufer gab. Ich kann es nur nicht brauchen dass man sagt diese und jene Firma hat damals Nazis unterstützt. Und sie damit irgendwie in Dreck zieht. Von boss über Adidas. Wmf usw jeder hat drin gesteckt.
@@xyincognito Mein Großvater sowie mein Großonkel haben beide nicht die NSDAP unterstützt. Mein Opa hat noch Juden geholfen zu fliehen und mein Großonkel ist, als er zu einer Versammlung gerufen wurde, einfach wieder aus dem Fenster geklettert und ist gegangen. Dennoch mussten bei in den Krieg ziehen. Mein Opa hat das überlebt, der Großonkel nicht. Du siehst es gab Widerstand auch wenn er klein war. Ich glaube nicht, dass das so einfach war mit der "Wahl". Niemand hier von uns kann das im geringsten nach empfinden, wie es damals war, da keiner von uns dabei war. Es ist einfach im nachhinein zu Urteilen.
Alea CroniX Auch wenn du es nicht böse meinst, aber du bist wahrscheinlich einer der 18% der Deutschen, die zwar denken, dass ihre Großeltern Juden geholfen hätten, dies aber wahrscheinlich gar nicht gemacht haben. Nur 1,6 Promille (also 0.16%) haben Juden oder anderen NS-Verfolgten geholfen und da ist schon schöngerechnet. Realistisch betrachtet haben sogar noch weniger Menschen sich gegen den Staat aufgelehnt. Vielleicht weißt du es auch nicht anders, weil es dir so erzählt wurde, aber bis du Beweise für Gegenteiliges hast musst du davon ausgehen, dass deine Großeltern auch nur Anhänger des Regimes waren.

Ferdinand Porsche designed the original VW Beetle, so of course Porsche is one of the most essential car manufactures in Germany!
There are two reasons why Americans don't know many brands are German:
1. German heritage is huge in the US and German ancestry is one of the most common there, so they take German names as "oh yeah, their great great great grand parents came from there".
2. Ignorance and thinking the US is the center of the planet :D.
Look up where Chevrolet actually comes from, or Levi Strauss ("Levi's"), just to name a few that are even globally seen as American. They might have been founded there but the founders were not American.
I would also suggest to look up proper pronunciation. Niv-ay-a is the proper pronunciation for Nivea.
I was suggesting "Niv-ay-a" because "ve" could be interpreted as "vi". You are right about the "ah" part in the end, though :).
It is supposed to cater to American English because that is her mother tongue and that's what she understands the best =). Maybe "Nee-vay-ah" is better, it makes more sense pronunciation-wise :D.
@@MrReese you are not even german. if you were German you would know that it is not pronounced Niv-ay-a or something
German is actually my first language, so yes, I do know and it is.
Actually the founders of Puma and Adidas are brothers. They wanted to found a company together, but ended up fighting about the name, so Adi Dassler founded Adidas and his brother Rudolf Dassler Puma(I think it was Rudolf, but I don't know for sure)
What I missed to bue when I was in Rewe last time were some Haribo Vampire, they are so yummie.
Taste german and american Haribo the same or are,the americans sweeter ?
Krakra Kranich had you compared german and american Haribo and can tell me if those are different ?
I know that american candy is most times sweeter, I‘m especially asking about Haribo.
Haribo Sugar Free
that wasnt the reason they split up. adi dassler, the founder of adidas, wanted to make the best possible shoe and that was all he focused on. rudolf dassler, founder of puma, wanted to make as much profit as possible and eventually they split up because they had different goals with the company
@@hornjoshua not quite but they also ranted eath other out to the americans after the war for beeing a nazi. That also was a big point in them breaking up their small company they had befor where they invented the Stollenschuh for the german nationalteam and made the Wunder Von Bern possible
The history of Puma and Adidas is actually quite interesting because the companies are founded by two brothers ☺️ there is an interesting German film called „Duell der Brüder“ about it 😊
"Trader Joe's" is also a German Company. Well not originally, but it belongs to "Aldi" since 1979.
Trader Joe’s belongs to Aldi Nord. Aldi Süd owns the rights to the Aldi brand in the US which is why Aldi Nord could not use it. Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd are two separate companies. In a sense it is similar to Adidas and Puma only that they kind of work together in the sense that they separated their market in Germany geographically.
Elessar Telcontar Puma and adidas were found by brothers and they argued and didn’t talked with each other
Where I live in Germany, Birkenstocks are very popular under the female teenagers and young women, but only the ones which look like flip flops. In this type of Birkenstocks you don't wear socks of course and people use them to go outside, too. They're seen as cool summer shoes.
It's considered shoes for doctors and vegans. All very healthy.
Birkenstocks are house shoes. Do not wear them outside.
@@Nikioko they are also garden shoes so I think they're for outside

American brands founded by Germans: Heinz (the ketchup makers, actually the families of Heinz and Trump are related back in Germany), Boeing (the aircraft company, originally Böing), Oscar Mayer (sausages), Berlitz (language schools), Anheuser-Busch (beer), Yuengling (beer, originally Jüngling), Coors (beer), Pfizer (pharmaceutics), Levi Strauss (clothing), Steinway (pianos, originally Steinweg), Bausch & Lomb (contact lenses, medical supplies)
Oh on that one. Montana needs to look up the Berlitz commercial. We are sinking.
What are you thinking?
Anheuser-Busch isn't beer. It is wash water. And to make things worse: what they call "Budweiser" isn't Budweiser.
And not to forget Hellmann's mayonaise
that would be sad if people didn't know that Levi's is German

The founders of Adidas und Puma were two brothers
Adolf and Rudolf Dassler who started out together but split up after WWII. Adidas is a made-up based on the first two letters of Dassler’s first and the first three letters from has last name.
Both companies have their headquarters in Herzogenaurach, near Nürnberg.
Not quite the first to letters of Adolf but it is made of his nickname "Adi". And Puma was also at first named after Rudolf but got changed by his managment. It was named "Ruda" .

It's A-didas, actually. Stress on the first syllable...
The brand Porsche actually comes from the name Ferdinand Porsche, who also created the first Beetle for Volkswagen.
About Adidas, the pronunciation is on the first A, so it is "AH-di-das"^^
They also made a different "Tower" for the Tiger II Tank there was also a version from Henschel that was common cause the Porsche version was too expensiv
Sennheiser, Stihl, Kärcher, Bosch, Abus, Grundig, AEG and certainly some others. Many of the brands have their origins in Germany, but are increasingly being bought up by companies that only sell their products with the good reputation of the brand name.
That's global economy for you... ;-) One of my friends at Uni told me about her exchange year in the US. Her host family were nice people, but when she arrived, they decided that coming from Germany, she had to be educated about a new invention called "microwave oven" - that was back some time, and they really weren't that common then. She listened politely until they had finished, and then just asked one question: "Do you know what AEG is the abbreviation for?" But hey, sometimes even stuff we think we have thought through in advance ends up in embarassement - there was that time when my guest mum in England picked me up from the ferry, and - fully aware of the road side issue - I nevertheless walked right up to the right hand side of the car. There's nothing like embarassement to remind you from time to time to stay grounded.

Porsche gehört mit zu Volkswagen.
They are two seperated parts of the same family, that runs these companies. Porsche split off after a fight in the family, if I remember correctly...But for some years now they‘re back together.
Porsche actually tried to buy VW, but it ended up the other way around ... was quite controversial.

Many people in Germany wear Adidas pants for actual sports, but not for other activities. The reason is simple: Typically, a lot of rather poor immigrants used to wear them a lot for all leisure activities (as a status symbol). So many non-immigrants usually associate these pants with bad manners and don't wear them too much.
