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?

    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.
