19 American Obsessions That British People Just Don't Get

    It's not that we disapprove. We're just slightly baffled.

    1. Disney princes and princesses.

    In the U.S., the stuff of endless Tumblr tributes and Reddit memes. Over here: just some cartoon films you watched as a kid and dimly remember.

    2. Extreme snacking.

    3. "Bros."

    4. Red cups.

    5. NASCAR.

    6. Tailgate parties.

    7. High school yearbooks.

    8. Lawyers, everywhere.

    9. Electoral campaigns that go on forever.

    What is a caucus, please? And when does this thing start getting interesting?

    10. Putting foodstuffs inside other foodstuffs.

    11. Pie.

    12. Light beer.

    13. Cronuts.

    Don't these people have jobs or families? RT @AndyBCampbell The #cronut line from above in soho: this must end

    14. Kale.

    15. Moaning about kale.

    16. Molly.

    We have that over here. Except we call it MDMA, and we don't go on about it.

    17. The notion of this as an acceptable Halloween costume somehow.

    18. Tipping. Endless tipping.

    19. Unburdening oneself emotionally.

    So, yes. You confuse us, America. But it doesn't mean we don't love you.
