Sorry, had to share this.

I am so laughing...24 Questions Britain has for the US

example: 

2. And why would anyone live somewhere where it gets THIS cold? -24ºF is -31ºC. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.

[meggers5]

My Scottish roommate thought it was hilarious that our TV/internet provider in Canada was called Rogers.

[waffletime]

Lolol. Except for the cold one, most of these things were things I thought when I moved here.

They should check out the Boston streets if they think our streets are all predictable.

I've been questioning the "world" series my whole life.

#22 -Because that is THE BEST DAMNED BAND IN THE LAND from The Ohio State University! Home of undisputed National Champions!

15. Why are your TV commercials for drugs so batshit crazy?


In Britain you don’t have to ASK your doctor about medicine. They’ll pretty much tell you what you need. That’s their job.

On a global level, Miss Universe. I'd like to see a contestant from another planet, please!

What, one Canadian team in the MLB doesn't count?

Lol, love this!

I never knew that the stall crack thing was so weird until I saw one of these posts. Then I took note every time I traveled over seas and I was like " WTf why can't we have real doors with handles in our stalls?!" It seems like such a small thing to ask for...

[Deleted]

I always wonder about the crack in the public restroom door thing. Why do they make them with a 1" gap?

That was my first thought, as well. 
I've been asking about #22 since we moved to Columbus.

So I'm not very worldy but what is "real" bacon?

Apparently there's Canadian bacon, American bacon and English bacon. 

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

That IS SO bacon.

LOL.  But the English bacon does look pretty damn good.

I thought so too until they started comparing it to Canadian Bacon. It's just thin ham, people!

The only thing Canadian bacon is good for is eggs benedict. Other than that, I think most of us eat the regular greasy bacon.

Yep.  If you mention bacon, people will think of the good, greasy stuff. Which I now want.

Most people I know refer to Canadian bacon as back bacon.  Apparently, they don't want to be associated with sub-par bacon.

The stall latches at the local Wal-Mart don't line up, so none of the doors even lock. How hard is it to install those things and then test them before going on your merry way? I'm actually kind of impressed they managed to install them wrong in every single stall.

[fumbalina]

As someone that worked retail, I can tell you the doors were not installed wrong. Places like Wal-mart get the "special" people who like to ride on the door, throw other people into them and various other things that put too much pressure on the hinges so they break.

I don't know anyone who thinks back bacon is bacon. Bacon is bacon, and it's fucking greasy and amazing.

Exactly. I only go to the deli to order back bacon for certain dishes. Other than that, it's side bacon all the way.

That's not Canadian Bacon though.  Canadian bacon is peameal crusted, that post is showing some sort of processed ham slices.

20 drives me crazy. We are going to the US this weekend. I'm sure each time I my card it I'm still going to be like, "You actually need me to sign this?"

Also, the letter U. Bang on.

I ask myself this question every winter...

[mrsukyankee]

I do have to say I prefer American style bacon (which we call smoked streaky bacon over here) to the English bacon unless you are getting a Full English Breakfast...then you have to have English bacon.
