      Almost correct. Diet Coke uses the artificial sweeter xylitol which is banned in the EU for it is considered cancerogenic as demonstrated in animal tests. So, yeah, the lady was kinda right. The Diet Coke she uses to poison herself with in the USA isn't available as such. The Coke company has to use a different artificial sweetener in the EU so the taste is different. The name change had to follow suit.

      @@RustyDust101 Xylitol is not artificial, it's one of the natural sugars you find in a whole bunch of plants. Though it can be produced industrially, but so can a whole lot of things. I have never heard of it being a carcinogen. It's not banned in the EU, either. It's not used in drinks because in high enough doses, it's a laxative. For humans, getting the runs is the worst it can cause you if you consume it too much. It's not good for dogs, though. As a result you only find it in tooth-friendly cough lozenges, chewing gums, vitamin supplements, medicine, and such, where the dose doesn't get that high.
      I reckon you are thinking of some totally different sweetener and confusing it with xylitol.

    About the air conditioning: When I was visiting America every store or restaurant was cooled down to the point where you actually needed a hoody or something to keep warm. Also, the doors open wide and automatically in most places. One of the biggest wastes of energy I have ever seen. Of course we don't do that. Since seeing that, I'm convinced the rest of the world could do whatever they want to save the climate, as long as these kinds of things don't change, all hope is lost.

When you go to Spain, or France only, you say so, I'm going to Spain or France. Besides, the EU has rules that makes it to have some similar standards for many things.

    On the matter of the air con, it's not that we are unfamiliar or unable to utilize said technology, its just that in many places its not that necessary. Warmer, southern europe to my understanding does have more air cons, but up north its not really needed. Our houses are built to insulate, aka keep the heat out in the summer and warmth in in the winter, so the house doesn't even warm up to begin with (unless a very hot long lasting heat wave it starts to seep in). And its also not necessary to waste electricity on running an air con at full blast to keep the house at max 70F if even, when youre perfectly capable of living in slightly warmer temps during summertime. Open the windows to keep the air flowing and youre set. Obviously the air cons would be much more common in here if people actually felt that they were necessary or worth the investment. Many cases they're just not.

      I remember a former teacher of mine coming over for a visit (I attended an international school in Southeast Asia). She is from the US and was amazed I don’t have airconditioning in my home and that it was so cool inside despite the Summer heat. I explained:
      1) architecture: our houses are well insulated yet offer plenty of possibilities for ventilation (opening windows) to take advantage of whichever circumstances are to our advantage.
      2) no-cost measures: close the drapes on the sunny side of the house, create drafts when you want the heat to escape by strategically opening windows when the air is cooler (f.ex. at night
      3) safety: generally, we feel safe opening a window for ventilation when we’re home
      4) clever use of fans is cheaper than using an aircon
      5) adaptation: if you don’t live 24/7 in an airconditioned environment, your body tends to adapt. It’s the difference in temperature between inside and outside that creates the perception of coolness. A temperature difference of 5-10 degrees Celsius feels vast
      After several months in my country, she didn’t miss the airconditioning anymore. When she returned to the US she applied some of the techniques she’d learned to keep her house naturally cool. Apparently it saves her a lot of money… which she is saving up to improve both the ventilation and insulation of her house.

    The pizza is from Italy and it's really old. You probably wouldn't recognize pre-Neapolitan pizza, since it didn't have any toppings. Modern pizza was invented in 1889 in Naples.

    • @Eysenbeiss
      @Eysenbeiss Před 8 měsíci +10

      In fact, "pizza" is 5000+ years old and the name comes from "pita", which in MANY languages just means "bread".
      Technically, pizza is nothing but "bread", since all variations are just made of wheat and water - all other ingredients were put in and onto later.
      1889 was only the birth of the so called neapolitean style, which means that it is really thin and crunchy, nothing else.
      Even in Italy, there are at least four different mayor styles of pizza and there was at least some sort of "truth" in the claim in the video, since what the US today knows and inherits as "their" pizza was indeed created by italien immigrants, but only to make it easier for the rest to adapt to it.
      I agree with Ryan, I like the "american style" pizza the most, especially from chicago, cause if I want to eat a cracker, I order a cracker and that's what neapoletana pizza is all about.

    Spain took over South America which is why all of South America - except for Brazil -speak Spanish. Brazil speaks Portuguese, because of the Treaty of Tordesillas with Spain and Portugal which divided the world into two halves: the western half was given to Spain; and the eastern half belonged to Portugal. The dividing line went down the Atlantic ocean and what is now Brazil was in the Portuguese half of the world.

    Air conditioning is for the most part a HUGE waste of energy - costly electricity bills and unnecessary CO2 emissions. A US thing, we can VERY well do without in Europe and other parts of the world - except in special buildings for special purposes. When it is hot, close the windows and draw the curtains/blinds where the sun shines in. Insulate buildings for both hot and cold weather. Cross ventilation. I have lived and worked in very hot and humid parts of the world without air-conditioning. Sensible buildings and behaviour made it ok.

    The metric system were in invented in France. Weight and volume is based on water:I.e, a litre of water weighs one kilo. A thousand litres is one cubic metre. The measurement of length is derived from a subdivision of the distance between the equator and the north pole. Although the imperial system were not standardised for a long time when it comes to gallons, both the U.S and U.K have 8 pints in a gallon however, the weights and volume are different which makes the U.K gallon bigger at 4.54 liters to one U.K gallon and 3.83 litres to a U.S gallon. A mile is based on a old Roman measurement of a 1000 passes and is also based on how far a legionnaire could walk in an hour. I hope I have bored everyone enough 😊

Basically everyone here can tell what "light" means, but using diet wouldn't be as appealing because not many people would get the message you're trying to convey, making the drink irrelevant and sales fail.

    1:10 in case you wondering for real, all ex colonies speak the language of the country that colonised that territory, especially in the Americas that wasnt populated as the rest of the world so they would bring people from different parts of the world from salves to workers and would teach them all one language so they all would be able to communicate with each other: France in Canada and French Guiana, UK in the 13 colonies, Portugal in Brazil and Spain in the rest of it basically. The reason Mexicans speak Spanish is the same as the one why US speaks English (even though its not even the official language) 😊
    2:30 the stereotypes come from different anecdotes and cultural differences mainly with US Americans with the french and like any anecdotes it can become overly exaggerated or generalised which contribute to the formation of stereotypes, which is very wrong nonetheless. 😊 (also air conditioning isnt necessary as much since we tend to have milder summers, plus we have shutters, cross ventilation and thicker walls so we dont need to rely on air conditioning, also it takes a lot of electricity which isn’t sustainable plus its more expensive. Another reason might be that the buildings especially in Europe are planned very tight which dont allow for air conditioning and its not necessary since the urban planning already solves that issue. Personal preference, id rather open my windows at night to allow fresh air in and ventilate my room with an electrical fan during the day)
    3:51 we have both Cola Light and Cola Zero… we dont use the term Diet Cola since it is incorrect to call it that way cause its not a “Diet” drink, but its basically the same thing.
    6:35 in Europe people understand the term “right for education” better I guess 😂 or maybe USA capitalises on everything that their citizens have “the right to” instead of making it more affordable… like: “ yeah you have the right to do that, now lets see how well you can afford to exercise that right of yours” 😅
    7:00 Pizza was invented in Naples, Italy and its not that fancy… the most preferred pizzas are the 2 original ones: Marinara (tomatoes, garlic, oregano and olive oil) and Margherita (tomato, mozzarella, basil and olive oil). The rest of the world takes a very artistic take to making it but people in Italy and most Europe like to stick to the basic. 😊

    The term pizza was first recorded in the year 997 AD, in a Latin manuscript from the southern Italian town of Gaeta, in Lazio, on the border with Campania. Raffaele Esposito is often credited for creating modern pizza in Naples. In 2009, Neapolitan pizza was registered with the European Union as a traditional speciality guaranteed dish. In 2017, the art of making Neapolitan pizza was added to UNESCO's list of intangible cultural heritage.

      I remember that an american politician in 2016 said in a speech something like "Belgium is a beautiful city." Obviously everybody knows the geography best that is close to where one lives, but I guess you shouldn't brag about your lack of knowledge.

    Fun fact: Diet Coke/ Coke light is actually worse than regular coke. Unlike normal sugar your body is not able to break down the sweetener substitute which mean you'll prolly gain weight faster. :)

      Bullshit. There are several intervention studies that show that non-caloric soft drinks can help to stay in caloric deficit making it easier to loose weight.

    Air cons use a group of gases called HFCs as coolant. As the warm air is dispelled from the unit, it also carries away a small amount of these gases. An efficient modern air con is expected to lose about 5% of its HFCs per year. HFCs in the atmosphere have a heating potential some 3,000 times that of a like amount of CO2. The more we use air cons the warmer the climate will become, leading to more air con sales and usage which will lead to a warmer climate - a vicious circle if ever there was one!
    It is estimated that by 2100 HFCs released into the atmosphere by air conditioning units will have added a global average of 0.5°C of additional heat to the climate. That's 1/3rd of the IPCC target warming level on their own!!

    • @Eysenbeiss
      @Eysenbeiss Před 8 měsíci

      That's because the imperial system is NOT imperial at all, even though the Brits think of it like that.
      A lot of the measurements were used on the continent as well, with the problem being, that a foot in german, france and england NOT having the same size, just to name one example.
      We hat like Dozend, Stack, Zentner and about 100 !!! other measurements too, until intelligent people came to the conclusion, that it would be better to have a standard, that can be understood all over europe and only the ignorant english, due to their megalomaniac nature, decided to hang onto the stupid imperial system.

Mind you that back then it wasn't really needed because (with the exception of 1987 when we had a massive heat wave that killed many people) we've had relatively mild summer temps. Now it's in every house everywhere.

    Pizza still originates in italy and goes back to the ancient romans. That said, pizza also was made in other parts of the ancient world, like greece and may even have been popular in ancient babylon.
    But if you wanna food fun facts - Lasagne isnt italian, its swiss, coming from the swiss town of La Sagne. Crossaints arent french they are austrian and were made as badge of honor for veteran bakers that served in the first turkish siege of vienna, but were brought to france by Austrian princess Maria Antonia when she married the french king who made them a thing in france. Schnitzel isnt austrian, its italian, hailing from Florence originally made with actuall edible gold as crust
