A recent online discussion revealed some interesting differences in household items between Americans and people from other countries.
Non-Americans, what’s something most Americans have in their house that you don’t?"An ice cube maker in the fridge door. You can get those in Europe, but they are probably more common in the US.""I always find it crazy that so many Americans don’t have an electric kettle.
It’s like a staple in everyone’s house where I’m from. Not judging! Just find it unusual!" "Peanut butter. It’s available where I live, but it's not something everyone would have in the cupboard. I associate a PB&J sammie with US culture ." "Indoor shoes. Canadians typically wears socks or slippers in the house, but wearing shoes in the house is extremely uncommon." "The type of washing machines where you put everything in the top! This fascinated me when we visited the States. They’re huge!" "Excellent water pressure in showers. When abroad, showers are like a flower watering pot. I like to feel my shower. Make the pressure strong enough to tear my skin off, then back it off like 10%." "Windows with screens. When I lived in Geneva, I was in a sixth-floor walk-up flat with no A/C. I was in for a very unfortunate surprise when the weather got warm and I opened the windows only for bugs to swarm in. No screens! How was I supposed to sleep in a hot bedroom and I couldn’t even open my tiny window for some air flow?!"
