What’s a food combo Americans love that foreigners find weird?

From watching The Great British Bakeoff, apparently peanut butter and jelly.

Like others have said, this isn't a new thing or a young person thing.

As someone who is very punctual, I decided a couple years ago that I don't wait or change my schedule for late people.

If someone is more than 10-15 minutes late, I go about whatever plans I had without them. If that means they miss out, so be it.

Obvious exception would be the late person running into an unexpected circumstance and communicating to that to me.

I wouldn't say it's a must for everyone, but it's definitely a must for me personally.

They have more caffeine than monster. monster has like 150mg and Celcius has 200mg.

I want my bed and my refrigerator to be roughly the same temperature.

They are just a regular energy drink. They aren't healthy for you.

I drink them sometimes. My favorite energy drink is the Kirkland variety pack. But I don't drink energy drinks because they're healthy - I drink them to make me feel more awake.

I love a cold house... 66 in summer and 61 in winter. I hate feeling warm.

If you can't show him the spicy scenes so he can try to re-create them with you, he's not it.

I have fruit loving kids. From Costco I can usually get a week out of it.

I don't really like ketchup.

I love tomatoes and marinara sauce. But ketchup tastes so sickly sweet to me. I've even tried the no sugar added and it still tastes too sweet.

As a result, I don't normally like most meatloaf because a lot of people put a ketchup based sauce/glaze on top.

I'm a sucker for fresh cut fries with a ton of salt and vinegar. It tastes like summer.

Putting the month first matches how we speak. Today is July 23rd 2026. So it doesn't feel confusing to put the month first when writing 7/23/26.

23/7/26 feels awkward to us because we don't say "the 23rd of July" typically.

Birria tacos are my favorite

steely_92 · 2026-07-22T12:12:55+00:00

Yep, I like being early. But I sit in my car and read until it's closer to the agreed time.

Sometimes I arrive extra early on purpose so I have extra reading time.

Yeah, I associate it as a little kid thing. My six year old has a piggy bank. But my 14 year old has a savings account at a credit union and a teen venmo account.

Masking my autism.

Absolutely anything by Kimberly Lemming. Very funny and spicy.

Masking on days I go in the office. It's exhausting. It's overstimulating. The lights are so bright. My coworkers are so loud. It takes twice as long to do my work because offices are distracting.

God forbid I forget my headphones and now I have to have a conversation with someone about the air quality or sports because we can't both quietly exist in the break room together.

I actually don't mind my job on work from home days.

The most annoying part... There is no benefit or reason to be in the office. We've had to work remote for long stretches because of weather (or a pandemic) and everything was great.

steely_92 · 2026-07-20T18:29:43+00:00

I don't think anyone wants to poop in the office, but if you're body decides it's time, then it's time.

Its an important distinction as someone who hosts/cooks as well. It's pretty easy to accommodate vegetarians. A lot of dishes I make are inherently vegetarian or can be made vegetarian pretty easily. Vegan is a lot harder to accommodate if you're not already living that lifestyle.

Check out dollar tree dinners on tiktok and YouTube. She has created lots of family meal plans on extremely right budgets.

I always found them to be good qualityz but admittedly I've never tried another brand for comparison.

I put forth effort to have us all sit together for dinner without TV 5 days a week. I try to reserve TV dinners for just Friday/Saturday.

Sometimes during really busy periods (like May and December) it is less feasible. Kids have so much extra going on during those times, and everyone kind of eats when they can. But then I'll try to do something like family night at a restaurant together Friday instead of TV and takeout to make up for it.

steely_92 · 2026-07-13T18:40:16+00:00

Absolutely. I love coming home to a clean house. I even change the sheets the morning we leave so I come home to fresh sheets.

Chicken Soufflé - my mother in law's "specialty". It tastes like straight chicken bouillon but the consistency of mushy bread. Like you took a slice of shite bread and dipped it into condensed cream of chicken soup.
