I like how 'How Americans see the rest of the world'
actually became 'how Americans see the British'

American beer and coffee really is shit
you have to order a doubble espresso at starbucks to get a cup of regular coffee
and the beer is really "fucking close to water"

plus
they add rice to the fermentation so you get really nasty hangovers if you do manage to drink enought to get pissed.
(prostheses, Thu 23 Feb 2006, 15:26, archived)

oh really?
I've never gotten through enough of the stuff to get drunk.
One sip (ok, maybe two) and then I reach for German, Danish, Tshech or Swedish beer.

You should try visiting the western US.

Most cities have a number of small
breweries that produce very high
quality beer. Whereas in Europe
the trend is in the opposite direction,
most of the small high quality
breweries are gone.

And don't even start with Swedish beer.
( Purple Onion, Thu 23 Feb 2006, 15:37, archived)

actually think it's the same everywhere
I have Budwizer and Miller as my only refference of American beer. and the Small local breweries ar not gone, not in Sweden at least.
Ystad (the town I grew up in) has a great fresh beer.

RE: The first bit of that pic.
Entertainingly, the US has a higher incidence of tooth decay than the UK, as illustrated in this colourful little map (PDF, sorry) from the World Health Organisation.
( tomsk, Thu 23 Feb 2006, 15:19, archived)

it's not the number of cavities that's the problem.

It's the yellowing and crookedness that really
stands out.

I am proud of my wonky teeth.
They're a great British tradition, like moaning and traffic jams.
