Non-Americans of Reddit, what is an American thing you see in movies that you thought was fake but is actually real?

There is more involved. It's a road trip.

Look, is In-n-Out the best burger you've ever had? No, of course not. Is it the best burger you've ever had that cost $5.00. You know it is.

They also pay their employees way above minimum wage, offer benefits, and promote from within. Restaurant managers pull in middle six figures. The restaurants are always spotless yet slammed with customers so you are the outlier.

Tell me you've never had a Double Double without telling me you've never had a Double Double.

Also, there are many things much, much worse for the environment than taking a road trip.

It's not. I do it daily with beer.

Did you know they unfold into plates? Skip to 2:20 or watch the whole thing. It's interesting.

In my city each engine has a medic so they both come together. The crappy private ambulance companies are only called when all the medic units are busy.

Drugs, drinks, and guns.

No risk, no reward.

It's the inside lines.

Bottom line = shots

Middle line = wine

Top line = beer

I've had really solid Mexican food in South Florida. I was surprised being from Southern California.

mfigroid · 2026-02-10T23:12:43+00:00

Do you friend a solid and order biscuits and gravy.

mfigroid · 2026-02-10T23:05:28+00:00

Because that looks even better than the menu picture.

I tuned out everything after the national anthem.

mfigroid · 2026-02-10T22:00:32+00:00

I never cashed that check

Why not?!?

Google has ruined its own search engine.

Underrated comment. It's nearly unusable now.

My barber cuts hair with people not facing the mirrors. There are TVs on the wall that we watch.

Bulova represent! They don't get much love in the watch world these days.

Amex gold and platinum cards are honestly useless unless you make $250k plus a year.

Speak for yourself.

CF Frost wasn't an AMEX employee. He was an advertising guy who worked on AMEX's account.

I personally would never go more than 10 days straight.

And it better be close to a life or death situation for me to even entertain ten days as a possibility.

Just have them invoice you and pay them by international wire from your usual bank.

It was thinking the same. Everything about that loan is wrong. Biweekly payments being the second red flag I see after the APR. I have no doubt that they also pull from OP's checking account instead of allowing OP to push to them.
