"""College football: 20 Of The Weirdest Things About  America That Americans Don't  Realize Are Weird  1. Portion Sizes.  2. Flags everywhere. EVERYWHERE  3.  Price tags without tax included. How do you  know how much you're spending until you  get to the cashier?  4. Tipping: It was incredibly hard for me to  wrap my head about how much is  appropriate for the service  5. Advertising prescription drugs. That was the  weirdest one for me. """"ask your doctor for  brand x antidepressants"""" type commercials  on TV. In the UK, your doctor tells you what  drugs you should take, not the other way  round  6. Everything being designed around cars.  7.  The sheer amount of commercials on the  television, and their lack of quality  8. Aerosol cheese. Like seriously I would try it  at least once, but that shit looks like cancer  9. a visiting Italian friend was very puzzled at  Americans' use of the phrase, """"Oh, really?"""" in  group conversations. Somehow he took that  as a person challenging his opinion, when in  reality, it's just some habit a lot of us have  that basically means, """"Interesting. Can you  elaborate?"""" The guy was red in the face after  an hour because he literally thought  everyone in our group was challenging every  single thing he said  10.  Your toilets are too low down and the stalls  have massive gaps around the door so that  people can see in. You can put a man on the  moon but can't design a setup whereby I can  have a dump in comfortable privacy. Sort it  out America  11. Pickles. Your hidden love for pickles. I have  been in the states for like 8 years and you  guys give a pickle with everything.  12. I find it really weird how college football  players are kind of celebrities. They're  scrutinized and have fans and do TV  interviews, and it just boggles my mind so  much. They're just students that do an extra-  curricular activity! I don't understand  13. Jaywalking is a crime? I did this a lot in the  US without realizing it was supposed to be  illegal  14. """
