- Football season is back which means that it’s also time for an uptick in heartburn and bowel relief commercials! If you are an American and are insulted by this sketch, don’t be. We are merely saying that America’s food is so good that people are willing to accept heartburn and diarrhea. Even Germans.

What's your favorite patriotic American food?
Probably donut stuffed pizza stuffed inside a turkey
Deep fried okras, one of the best southern side dishes there is.
Turducken.
A chicken stuffed inside a duck stuffed inside a turkey.
Tacos....because they were made in America by an immigrant and I can't think of anything more American than taking something originally from the ideas of another country, made by someone who came here later in life, and calling it our own.
Fossils, rare minerals, uncivilized new territories and the hopes and dreams of our citizens
4/5 Americans suffer from heartburn and dhiarrea. Calvin, however, is the 1/5 who enjoys it.
calvin is american?

Since moving to Germany i haven't experienced heart burn
You’re welcome
I've lived in Texas all my life, and I've only had it a handful of times in 39 years of life. 🤷🏼♀️
That should be the slogan in the commercial!

@@calvinandhabs thank you
Me as a European suddenly realising why a concerning number of comedians makes jokes about getting diarreah.
there was this one woman about making jokes how anybody over 30 wouldn't get through a week without diarrhea
and I'm like... lady please get that checked out
No, I think that's just because it's funny.

@@greenaumIt's gotta be relatable to be funny. No one would laugh about "I'm having a seizure every week maybe I'm getting old"
@@cyan_oxy6734having heartburn is not relatable to europeans😂
We dont know that
I had to Google what is heartburn. I'm not American, but I had it a few times until I i went to gastroenterologist and it turned out that I had gastritis caused by some kind of bacteria. After taking some antibiotics and other drugs it was over and I haven't felt heartburn for decades. I recommend to visit your doctor if you have this symptom, maybe you can easily treat it
Yes and related to that, it turns out most ulcers are caused by a bacterial infection, not stress, and can be fixed with the right antibiotics. Another reason to go to the doctor if you often have stomach pain or heartburn.
@@Sashazur exactly! You should treat the roots of disease, not just symptoms
I have chronic GERD caused by an overproduction of stomach acid. Without a proton pump inhibitor, I experience heartburn even when I don’t eat 👍
How fun
@@freedomfighter763 if it's treatable with surgery - just do it
Was it H Pylori perchance?
You know, if something hurts, most of the time it means your body is telling you to stop the thing that you're doing.
As a 'Merican, I'd rather keep doing what I enjoy and take some medicine that has 15 different side effects, most of which are worse then just stopping doing whats bad for me in the first place. Because 'Merica
My favorite ads are the ones for children. "Hey, your little bitty child struggles with taking massive dumps? Try this medicine for them!" Because teaching parents to feed their children proper nutrition doesn't make quite the same money for these pharmacy companies.
Tbf it's not the pharmaceutical companies job to teach that. They're offering a solution to a problem caused by bad parenting
@@seamonkeys12y They're profiting from poor education. It's legal, but gross.
@@seamonkeys12ybut they take away the necessity for change and therefore are part of the problem.
America :
- Multibillion dollar junk food industry
- Little to no regulation for predatory food marketing to the youth
- Ultimately resulting of a cultural lack of diet discipline in the poorer households
Americans :
- "DAMN BIG PHARMA!"
@@seamonkeys12y To be fair when every second product on the shelf causes inflamation,heartburn and shitpants you really have to make an educated decision on what you buy.
He is right, there's a lot of chemicals in our tasty freedom food that's illegal in other countries.
Makes me think that they're legal and used in the U.S. food industry on purpose so Big Pharma can sell drugs and profit off treating the symptoms and side effects of consuming that stuff. 😮😩
Yet, somehow, Kinder Eggs are banned.
I don't like how my America turned out.

@@epsi That is a COMPLETELY different reason. That's just because they have in their law that you can't market food that has something like a plastic capsule inside it.
It's true, but let's not kid ourselves and think this isn't because of what people themselves choose to it, in terms of lots of quick carbs and fried/smoked meats.
@@epsi died with the NES
I remember in college people would complain about heartburn after they only drank beer for a whole day or pound energy drinks and coffee then wash it down with pizza. Crazy.
They should've known it's only ok to eat cheese all day.
Don't call whatever yellow stuff you have in the US, cheese, please
@@ommsterlitz1805As a German American, this is very true. American food in general is very.... Sick. I hate eating it and I'm looking forward to German food once I move there
I'm sure american have good steaks and all but cheese is certainly not part of their good food for the simple reason they don't allow unpasteurised cheese to be made and sold in most of their states so they don't have access to French and Swiss cheese witch is a real shame. But don't worry German food is an European standard for the most part, they are not as bad as english but not as good as their Western and southern European neighbors @@EinDeutscherPatriot620

When you think about it, humans have almost no inherent ability to tell what is good or bad for health.
It's all learned.
Bitter is often poisonous, but that's unreliable.
Fermentation is actually good, but can also be rot.
Companies make good money selling unknowns.
Great video. Raises awareness. I am in Colombia and this video could be applied here as well. Just that here a lot of the commercials are about gastritis and reflux.
Heartburn is the common word for reflux.
“Reflujo” it’s always a random person doing something in their day and then having the whole scene turn blue with CGI except for a bright orange highlighted stomach
I eat a lot of spicy food so I'm hoping eventually the rest of my digestive tract catches up to the spice tolerance of my mouth
the only receptors in your body that care about spice are in your mouth and anus. The rest of your digestive tract doesn't give a shit (lol). Diarrhea after eating spicy food means you were eating bad food - has nothing to do with the spice.
Fun fact: you wouldn't even see commercials like this in Germany (or almost anywhere in the world) because direct to consumer drug advertising is only legal in the US (and oddly New Zealand)
Huh? German TV is full of it. "Bei Risiken und Nebenwirkungen fragen Sie Ihren Arzt oder Apotheker"
DTCPA is for prescription drugs only, which makes sense because consumer is not supposed to be the one making decision to take them, things like heartburn medicine are legal to advertise everywhere.
@@adamtarnowski343 ah interesting, didn't consider OTC drug advertising. Appreciate the clarification!
It's prohibited in Canada but they get around it by allowing help-seeking and reminder ads but not product claim ads. Meaning they can tell you the name of the drug and to "talk to your doctor to see if this is right for you". But they can't make any claims about what the drugs will do or tell you what the drug is for. For years I didn't know what Preparation H was for because it never stated it in the ad.😂
In Poland 70% of commercials are medicine adds. No kidding.

Ooh so that’s what Rammstein was singing about.
@@Gren4te Not quite, they are singing about underage groupies
@@qapplor lol. You clearly don’t know what that song is about.
I've only experienced heartburn once in my life, when I was a teenager. I've always had stomach problems (they run in both sides of my family), and since I was having horrible nausea, I hadn't eaten anything for over a day. But genius me had the brilliant idea to drink probably half a carton of orange juice.
I don't know what alchemy my body performed to turn that juice into pure battery acid, but I can still feel the phantom pains almost 20 years later...
Don't get pregnant then... It's Heartburn - Revengence!
Seriously though. I never knew what heartburn was, until I was preggers. 9 months of carrying that medication around. 😓
I mean this makes sense considering citrus fruits are very acidic.
I had a similar experience after eating too many tangerines and feeling a bit ill...and having the brilliant idea (while completely failing to connect the dots) that since I was feeling a bit ill I should eat more tangerines because vitamins.
@@nobodyanonif you eat citrus fruits with all the hard parts they will actually make you LESS acidic, it's the juice separated that's not healthy (except for juiced vegetables like carrots, celery and beetroot, those are good).
Reason is juicing throws away the healthy part of fruits, cellulose, and gives you just sugary water... Contrary to popular belief, coke Zero (sugar free) is more healthy than fruit juices.
Minimizing natural sugars is easiest and cheapest hack for a better diet, like of you like non-sweet tea, drink it.
Oh the days you could eat anything... Now even a yogurt is too strong for my stomach. The joy of getting old ❤
Yep. I had to cut out spicy foods and most dairy - though oddly enough if it’s dairy from goats or sheep I can tolerate it a lot better than if it’s from cows. Now get off my lawn.
That's because You're not eating/drinking the right kind of yoghurt. Try finding a Balkan style yoghurt, from Bulgaria or ex-Yugoslav countries, it's actually great for the digestion. Sauerkraut is the next best thing.
You need a doctor, dude. It's not normal. Think about the entire nation of India and everywhere surrounding it. They eat spice all day long. You should be able to digest most food.
A lot of things we attribute to age are from lifestyle. You can undo most of the aging with good diet and exercise. If you have extra weight, dropping it fixes a lot of stuff from indigestion to joint ache.
@@Sashazur spicy food doesn't cause stomach problems, it was more likely the fat as a lot of cheap spicy foods are extremely fatty and use cheap, bad ingredients.
I'm from Finland and I've definitely seen my fair share of heartburn ads here
I am an American who knows very little about Finland. I like learning lesser known things, so would you mind giving me a fact about your country that I could not find on Google or something only a Finn would know?
It's probably cos half the cures for it are just chalk and water. Lots of profit there.
Isn't Finland's per capita coffee consumption the highest in the world? 🤔

Ich liebe euren Kanal
My mom always got heartburn except when she spent every winter in Mexico. She said that the food there was less fake and healthier.
@@tman6599 It was easier for her to go someplace where fake foods were harder to get, compared to exerting self control. Lots of people are like that, and it makes even more sense when you realize how so many prepared foods are formulated to be addictive.
In the United States@@tman6599, a lot of the food is heavily processed and 'fake' as Sashazur mentions. Finding alternatives that are healthier for you becomes difficult like finding a needle in the haystack, impossible to find, or have a steep mark up and especially problematic if it is a more niche product you want to find an alternative for. In other countries like Mexico for example suddenly it's impossible to find products that are heavily processed and everything (for this issue) is good for you. Especially when the 'problems' with foods are often poorly marked or labelled or have dozens of names they can label it as.
@@Sashazur When I lived in American, at least where I lived (Idaho), it was much more expensive to try to eat foods that wouldn't cause heartburn than foods that would. I just sort of had to buy the garbage.
@@MikeSakaru if specific foods are causing heartburn regardless of portion size that sounds like an underlying gastrointestinal disease that needs treatment
@@TessHKM possibly, but if so, it's a disease caused by eating too much food unfit for consumption.
The term "heartburn" is a lot more menacing than the German Sodbrennen which basically translates to liquid burning.
Yeah okay in retrospect maybe "liquid burning" sounds more menacing lol. Never really thought about it.
Painfull acid reflux.
liquid burning is a much more appropriate description though. It doesn't feel like my heart is burning, it feels like I have burning liquid in my esophagus.
I think it’s “brandend maagzuur” in Dutch, not sure though (translates to “burning stomach acid”)
heartburn sounds like something romeo would get after seeing juliet or something lol, how is it not stomach burn like in turkish?
Wait a second? Sodbrennen doesn't translate to liquid burning?
Sod is another form of the word Sieden, which mean boil, not liquid.
This genuinly just made me realize I haven't had heartburn in 2 years..
I completely forgot that was a thing what the hell
I had reflux issues as a teenager... but I _do_ have a generally healthier diet now than I did then. Hmm.
you guys are hysterical!
Always with fun content here
ive dealt with terrible acid reflux/ heartburn ever since i was a baby
not much stuff triggered it when i was younger but now, stuff i used to eat w/o a problem causes a problem
thanks, family genes.
Or maybe it's the type of food you eat?
@@twentyrosesor the breastmilk he drank as a baby?😅
It has very little to do with genetics
@@twentyroses there is no food that should regularly be causing reflux/heartburn. That's a gastrointestinal disease, not the food.
As a German, I had heartburn once in my life when I ate a pizza and two donuts on the same day. I thought I was gonna die
Did you enjoy your meal tho lol
And, did you?
I didn't even know what heartburn was before this
As a South African who stays away from processed food, I still suffer from heartburn if I don't take a PPI each morning. I have damage from gastritis that I had a few years ago, which was caused by painkiller use for migraines. So my body is still messed up, but not because of my diet.
Try to phase out the medication since it will further damage your system. Try fasting, probiotics, ... (sauerkraut! 😅)
It is because of your diet, there is unhealthy unprocessed food
"Why is the woman smiling about her diahrrea?"
"No, she's smiling because she has her diahrrea under control!"
Why the hell did I laugh uncontrollably at that? Was it the song or that I'm eating chocolate-covered popcorn?
ginger actually works REALLY well with upset stomachs... probably heartburn too
I got a packet of ginger soft chews online and tried one after I ate too much.
The pain was gone in a few seconds!
It's not like heartburn isn't a thing in Germany (it's called "Sodbrennen") but it's so rare that I never needed more than a household remedy for it.
My choice is a tablespoon of mustard, it's basically the nuclear option, you lay a counter fire in your stomach, it's hell for a minute but then it's gone, at least for me.
Also just drinking water usually helps preventing it.
@@toastermon2272 ah, I had a period when I ate a LOT of spicy stuff, like mustard, garlic, onion and chewed on chilli peppers, and didn't have heartburn and then I had a sore throat and limited spicy food and here it is and I just drink baking soda diluted by water instead.
To be fair a lot of conditions make heartburn more significantly common. we shouldn't advertise medicine in the firstplace however.
To be fair: in college I could eat pizza and soda for every meal and not have ANY problems. Then, when I turned 26, I had A SINGLE SLICE OF PIZZA 1 hour and 2 minutes before I got ready for bed and I've never been the same. I can chug soda and liquor constantly but pizza and tomato sauce pastas? I can't eat those after 6:30 or I have to stay awake until midnight...
Same except it happened at 27 for me.
please see a doctor
@@qapplor You don't know my medical history 👍🏽
I haven't watched TV in a while, but at least we used to have a lot of ads for medications for "Sodbrennen".
I think that's acid reflux?
Acid reflux is the backflow of stomach contents into the esophagus. The feeling of acid reflux is heartburn: a mild burning sensation in the mid-chest, often occurring after meals or when lying down.
I didn't realize heartburn was more common in the US compared to other countries - personally, I've only had heartburn twice (both times in the same week, due to a nasty viral infection), but I know someone who suffers from it constantly :/
Probably due to low consumption of vegetables?
@@zitronentee Depends on what's causing it. A lot of stuff can cause it, but not a lot counts as a chronic illness. The chronic kinds are the ones that are more severe and requires a lot more than just eating your vegetables every day. Some are even unaffected by eating vegetables or not, due to the cause of it (not talking about malnutrition here, there are other ways to get your daily nutritional needs). But acidic stuff, and especially oily stuff like fried foods, tends to trigger it for a lot of people.
My favorite patriotic American food is the hotdog 🌭. A cornucopia of various cow parts stuffed into one tiny delicious package. 😋
I lived in Hamburg, Germany for a year. When they asked me what I liked most about Germany they were very confused when I said the the grocery stores.
I got heatburn just listening to you describe patriotic food. I do want to try bacon wrapped sushi, deep fried naturally!
Isn't sushi 🍣 supposed to be raw?
@@zockingtroller7788 Not necessarily!
It's not because of what I eat, it's just because I have GERD (specifically because of my esophagus not fully closing) so bad heartburn is the result.
I had that for months after getting covid, and it still comes back for a few weeks sometimes. I know the suffering!
GERD is easily treatable with a small surgery, it takes just a few days in the hospital
@@_DwarkinIt's treatable with surgery if it is caused by a hiatal hernia. There are other causes that can't be fixed with that surgery. (And that's assuming you can afford the surgery & recovery time off work, at least in the USA where healthcare is for the wealthy.)
@@telegramsam Thanks for explaining!
My relative's kid had this thing and it was treated in the hospital. In my country this treatment is completely free
@@_Dwarkin I live in the US, I don't have money to throw away on surgery.

@@CordeliaWagnerI've seen clips of elderly women having creampie but I don't think they suffered heartburn after that.
@@toonix of course not, it didn't go into that opening.
I'm pretty those multiple adverts for many different antacid meds are a bit weird to more than just Europeans.
As an Australian, I can only remember one single series of adverts for this sort of product on our TV channels and it was memorable because of its uniqueness.
I haven't watched broadcast TV in many years, so don't even know if a version of that ad is even still running.
Die Abspannmusik ist zu herrlich xD
That’s a really good point. Who even gets heartburn, where I live? I never questioned this american pharma trope before.
As an American who lived in Germany for many years, I can concurred that I rarely ever had heartburn there.

“Why is my heart rate speeding up?”
Well in spain we don't eat a lot of processed food neither do we put a lot of spices on our meals but still a lot of people suffer from heartburn. It's not a health issue but it's very normal. Diarrhea on the other hand is way less common.
heartburn isn't caused by spice, but it can be by fat - and a lot of spicy food is very fatty.
I get that from Dunkin Donuts, Oven Tiefkühlfertigpizza and other food with shady ingredients to keep it "fresh" , I think I would have a problem in a country with a lot of convenience food etc. Viel Liebe geht raus an Euch zwei Spassvögel 🇨🇭❤😂
As a kid, I thought heartburn was going to be a more prevalent concern when I grew up.
The only time i ever got heartburn was when i was sick and was so hungry that I ate a little too much
Dude right before I watched the video I got a freaking heartburn commercial
Bacon-wrapped sushi? Must get me some…🥓🍣🥓
The commercials remind me of Dr. Zed's lines in Borderlands
well in the UK we have gaviscon adverts
You are too late , I ate a Döner , Chips, Ice cream and more chips today
Commercial looked familiar and I had to go looking 😀
The number of medicine commercials in the US is astonishing!
Well, can't get heartburn if all you eat is Kartoffels and Schnitzels and Leberkäses and Currywursts and Schweinshaxe and Rotkohls and Grünkohls and Sauerkrauts.
Sadly this isn’t quite accurate… we actually have a really weird commercial/series pattern. People, who know RTL (or similar) will understand. Some channels will air their content in the following order: Cooking Show - Anti diarrhea commercial - anti vaginal fungus commercial - another cooking show - anti dementia commercial - beer commercial - anti back pain commercial - beer commercial - police series - beer commercial - beer commercial - police series- and so on… correct me if I am wrong
EDIT: I forgot the anti constipation commercials and quiz shows in between all of that.
you had me at bacon wrapped.

It’s funny, as a Bulgarian I have always considered German food to be “my cup of tea”, have however experienced some concern about the amount of carbohydrates I let myself enjoy. It turns out now your cuisine is perfectly balanced. :) Phew 😮💨
Wife was in germany last month, she had been going low carb for a while but germany is full of bread so she ate some and immeditly had heartburn.
I suffer from GORD as a result of a previous, unrelated medical condition. A few years back I was over in Germany and was trying to get some antacid tablets and it was a nightmare.
Most adult men I knew when I was a kid in Germany suffered heartburn. Then again, most adult men around me were overweight East Brandenburgians who ate Eisbein every week (of which I am in favor, although I use restraint and only eat it a few times a year. It's delicious and I miss it).
Probably all US expats?
This says a lot about the lack of spicy food in Germany
What are general food tips?
Germans do have stuff against an upset stomach in their medicine closet (too much fat or too acidic): Natron powder, basically just reduces, the acidity of your stomach.
It's been a product for at least 30 years, if not more.
I usually just drink cold water until the heartburn goes away.
The same with brain freeze. Im from Poland and I only heard about it from US tv shows but never even heard of anyone experiencing it.
I'm an American and I dealt with a brain freeze before, The secret to not getting a brain freeze is Don't rush whatever you're eating or drinking, take your time
A brain freeze is usually caused by eating cold food very fast
@@OatmealGrillBlazer but I happened to eat cold stuff fast as a kid and never had it. Nobody I know had it. I think there's something weird in American ice-cream or maybe Americans eat faster.
@@xFurashux probably, we turn eating into a sport
I am from germany and I know quite a lot of people that take heartburn medication. I think the most popular one is Bullrich salz. They might just not know the english term for it.
In America: don't mind eating anything and everything you want and if you don't feel well after then there's always medicine for it.
The whole world: don't eat something that makes you sick.
I only had heartburn a couple of times after eating very fatty hot smoked salmon a few years ago before I got my ulcerative colitis diagnosis and it was probably flaring up at the time.
I got a panadol ad on this-
In Spain i see some comercials about heartburn
I’m from Guyana and we put pepper and other spices in almost EVERY meal and it rare for us to get heartburn

Hi there, German natives. How often per year / life ( chose whichever is applicable) do you get heartburn?
Can't say I've ever had heartburn before. When I first heard about it I actually had to google what it is
"where cowboys hold their stomach and cry?" 😂😂
My husband made hot dog omelettes for our kids when they wwere little. They really liked them.
No joke, as a European this is where I've learned what heartburn is.
I’ve only had heartburn a few times when I’ve been really hungry.. I didn’t know people got heartburn after eating.
I'm watching this while eating a jalapeno cheese sausage wrap.
The side effects of heartburn medication is fever, diarrhea, thoughts of suicide.
Follow-up sales you say?
Thank god for REACH
As a European, yes I've went to America once and their food fucked up my digestive system that I needed pepto bismol to survive
We have a pretty bad hiatal hernia that runs in our family. I mines not too bad, but dad still has to take his meds, even when he works in Germany.
Though, when I feel heartburn coming on, or know that what I'm eating will exacerbate it, I usually drink a soda and that helps. Would that still work as well in Germany?
Why don't he treat it with surgery? It's not too complicated and it can be done with just a few small punctures
@@_Dwarkin he manages well with medication and lifestyle.
@@christaphillips953 but medication has side effects and long term consumption can also be harmful. This surgery is very simple and very effective. Even if you are American and can't afford it in your country, I don't think it's that expensive in the Germany
