I'm thinking things like flagpoles in the yard.

Like you waste however much money and resources to keep your non-native grass around and they drop in a 60 foot pole into it to be able to fly an American flag and flag for whatever shitty college you went to.

What other things are there?

    always talking about how you have to remember to drink water to stay hydrated as if it's some secret health tip. also: going on and on about the potassium content of any banana they eat. I've never heard any non-americans mention potassium in relation to bananas, but americans just can't seem to shut up about it.

        It's oddly specific but I can't argue against it

        Nobody drinks water here, it's nuts. Like you'll actually get people commenting on it in a lot of situations, because everybody drinks soda like it's water instead. So if you're drinking water or just have water at a restaurant, you must be trying to lose weight or be extra healthy or something.

        Bananas don't have a crazy amount potassium compared to other foods, I'm not sure how that bit of "common knowledge" came about.

          Is there any other country where a significant chunk of the population refuses to drink water because it quote "Tastes bad?"

            To be fair, have you had american tap water? If it doesn't taste like a musty cave, it tastes like pool water the majority of the time. I consume most of my water as tea because the taste of the clorine they put in where I live makes me gag. It's been many years and I still haven't gotten over it, and neither has anyone I've lived with.

        Most fruits have some level of radioactivity. I used to work unloading kiwis at a grocery store and the trucks had radioactive warning placards on them.

      I’ve never heard any non-americans mention potassium in relation to bananas, but americans just can’t seem to shut up about it.

      I've heard about this from Americans on the internet and now i give bananas to hungover ravers. There's also a serotonin precursor in these things. :banana-duck:
