Happy 4th of July: 50 Things They Have In The US That We WISH We Had Here
Drive thru ATMs, beer pong and giant pizzas. God bless America.
As we celebrate 238 years since we got rid of the US of A, we can't help but notice how many awesome things they have that we don't...
1. Chubby Hubby Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream. It's vanilla, it's peanut butter, it's pretzels, it's HEAVEN.
2. All of the Pop Tarts. Strawberry and chocolate? Jog on mate.
3. Entire aisles of BBQ sauce.
4. Trader Joe's AKA the world's greatest supermarket.
5. CVS. The only place in the world you can buy whisky, condoms, ice-cream and pregnancy tests all at the same time.
6. Drive-thru ATMs and Starbucks. You literally never need to leave your car.
7. Birthday Cake M&M's. Sound ridiculous, taste like a dream.
8. In-N-Out. Burger heaven.
9. Bath & Body Works. The smell. THE SMELL.
10. Sephora. Look at all the pretty make-up.
11. Magnolia Bakery's banana pudding. Forget the cupcakes, this stuff is the food of the New York gods.
12. Steak and eggs. For breakfast.
13. Hulu. It's like a free Netflix.
14. Denny's. Free wi-fi and a plate of just bacon if you fancy.
15. New York Slice-style pizza. If the slice is smaller than your head, it's not worth it.
16. Confident men that actually ask you out. Some of them even look like Ryan Gosling. One of them actually IS Ryan Gosling.
17. Giant margaritas. One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, FLOOR.
18. Utz's sour cream and onion crisps. We dare you to just have one.
19. Air conditioning. Everywhere.
20. The Grand Canyon. Although, where would we put it?
21. Baseball. The atmosphere, the beer, the foot-long hot dogs. Oh and the game of course.
22. Buffalo wings. Not made from actual buffalos.
23. Blueberry pie. Made with real New England blueberries.
24. Maple syurp dispensers already on the table. £1 for extra syrup? What is this, Nazi Germany??
25. HBO. What's your favourite show EVER? If it's American, chances are it was on HBO.
26. Walt Disney World. Or Disneyland. We're not picky.
27. Country music and cowboys. Not Billy Ray though, if it's all the same to you guys.
28. Las Vegas.
29. IHOP - the only place we've ever eaten cheesecake stuffed French toast.
30. Panda Express.
31. Anderson Cooper. The man practically re-invented the Silver Fox look. What a babe.
32 & 33. Junior Mints and Milk Duds.
34. Superbowl. Sorry but the FA Cup Final doesn't even compare.
35. Thanksgiving. AKA Turkey Day. AKA best food holiday ever.
36. Cheerleaders.
37. Chocolate covered peanut butter Oreos. We've eaten these and they were as amazing as they sound.
38. Coachella. Sunnier, hotter, sexier Glastonbury.
39. Bacon dusted fries. At 1am. This is the future.
40. Real clam chowder.
41. PBRs. Ideally as a chaser after a shot for $5. What, just us?
42. Dollywood. Again, a place even more amazing than it sounds.
43. Philly Cheese Steaks.
44 & 45. Red cups and beer pong.
46. Halloween.
47. Ben's Chili Bowl. A DC landmark where the Obamas eat for free.
48. Cinnamon on EVERYTHING. When you step off the plane in the US, you can smell the cinnamon in the air.
49. Streets that look like this.
50. Hooters. If it's good enough for Selena Gomez...
