American Things That Really Confuse Australians

There is a lot that the international world does not know about the States. Many people have a lot of questions that go beyond the big stuff, like voting and healthcare.

We have gathered a collection of questions that Australians would like to ask Americans. But be warned, this list does include the dreaded pineapple on pizza question!

Insane Proportions

@Cnrt asked…

“Can someone in America explain to me why food proportions are so huge? Either someone finishes it and it’s totally unhealthy, or they don’t and it’s a waste of food.

On that note – why do so many restaurants have impossible eating challenges?”

Bacon Everything

@jdfgcb4 asked…

“What is the obsession with bacon? Seriously … pre-cooked, deodorant, cologne, sprinkles, bandages, mayonnaise, and toothpaste. The stuff is good, but it’s not THAT good.

Dial it back, will ya?”

So Much Sugar

@Lisadohal3 asked…

“How is there sugar in everything and no one notices? Milk and bread is like desert. Why is there so much?

How has no one connected the obesity problem with all these additives?”

Satisfying Things

@taumark asked…

“Some of these “satisfying” videos are fun like the cleaning stuff. But what’s with the soap cutting and mowing lawns or arranging books? Legit question.

How is this popular?”
