16 Things America Does Better Than The United Kingdom
12. Football
We couldn't include tailgating without mentioning the fact that America excels, without question, at making this collision a Sunday necessity. Now you may be thinking that this doesn't count because the UK doesn't even have Football in the sense I'm referring to (not soccer,) but they actually do have teams that throw the pigskin around - it's just vastly overshadowed by soccer (what they call football). To be honest, I'll always be a bigger fan of soccer, but few can deny the impact and influence American football has here in the states.
11. Fast Food
We knew this already right? Sure, our portions should be illegal and the advent of shoving different types of food into each other is the leading cause of at least a few of our ills, but it still tastes great. Not counting sales in the U.S., the biggest fast food franchises in the world are almost all American, which includes McDonald's at the very top. You may be thinking that this doesn't necessarily make our fast food "better." That's fine, but answer me this: if ours wasn't good, why do you buy it more?
10. Tipping
This point can be divided into two things we're good at: tipping and underpaying our waiting staff in order to necessitate tipping. In the UK, waiting staff has to be paid according to their minimum wage, so tipping isn't really expected. But thanks to our obsession with tipping in the U.S., we've developed a culture of people who will be super nice to us in order to make money out of us. Necessity brings about opportunity!
