US Things That Confuse Non-Americans

Non-Americans often find themselves scratching their heads at some everyday things in the U.S. One head-scratching moment is the obsession with ice in drinks. Non-Americans may wonder why a simple request for a beverage without ice turns into a small cultural revelation. The intricate tipping culture is another source of confusion, as tipping practices vary widely around the globe. The sheer size of American portion servings in restaurants can also leave visitors wide-eyed; super-sized meals are definitely an American trademark. The prevalence of drive-thru everything, from fast food to pharmacies, might baffle those accustomed to getting out of the car for their daily errands. 🌎🇺🇸 Credit: Graham Homestead: inkknife_2000 - https://flic.kr/p/hP2C94, CC BY-SA 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/..., https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...
