Is that a thing? The cheese thing? Do we Americans put cheese on too many things? Do Brits (or Europeans) not? What other things do we Americans do that you guys find ridiculous?
I'm not sure about the cheese thing, but:
Things I find different about Americans/America:
1. Drive massive cars
2. Drive everywhere, no matter the distance.
3. You don't have town centres in the same way we do. Everything is just spread out.
4. Overtly biased news programs which seem to be half news/half action film aimed at people with zero attention span.
5. Massive massive food portions.
6. No problem with horrible violence, but outrage at a bare nipple.
7. Don't understand British self-deprecating humour, they just look at you pitifully.
8. Much more neighbourly and friendly than we are.
9. Mega patriotism. Flags and pictures of George Bush (the time when I visited) everywhere.
10. The massive distances between everything.
