30 Things That Are An Integral Part Of An American House, As Assumed By Non-Americans In This Online Group

YES!! I ALWAYS have peanut butter!!!!

Not in my household. My kid's allergic. But we do have Sunbutter!

It is a sin in my house to run out of peanut butter!! The is always an extra jar or two in the pantry.

Would you believe that I had the idea that peanut butter was something for the Dutch? As many Flemish watched very often Dutch televsision we often wondered why there were so many commercials for 'pindakaas' or peanut butter. Safe to say many Dutch people always have peanut butter at home too.

Of corse... What else would I eat my everything with???

Always a good staple to have especially if a hurricane hits and you have no power for awhile

It's not Jif, it's Gif :P

Of course we do

Nope.

With bananas for scale

That's my Canadian husband's fault.

Multiple jars in every house.

Protein. Fiber. Salty-sweetness. Reasonable shelf-life. It's a great foodstuff, especially on whole wheat bread or Triscuit crackers. Unless you have a peanut allergy, or you simply hate the taste of the stuff, peanut butter is a must-have in your pantry.

Correct!

Why would anyone NOT have peanut butter?? Toasted cinnamon raisin bagels with peanut butter are SO good. 🤤

Peanut butter jar for scale.

True

I love peanutbutter, my dog LOVES peanubutter, we *always* have 2 containers of it around!!

We have almond and cashew butter but no peanut. We use them for snacks but not sandwiches. Fresh apple slices with a little glob of cashew butter is delicious, especially if you have some good cheese on the side

Probably every house has both but it depends on where you live and the time of year whether you can line-dry or not. Where I live I can technically line-dry all year but can't do so when it's windy and dust is blowing.

Depends on where you live. I grew up in WA state, and it's not common there. I also lived in Alaska; no one has it in their homes. Where I live now, you wouldn't survive summer without it.

You think this is unique to America? I've got news for you...

The proper use of a garbage disposal is for those food scraps that inadvertently gets in the sink during food prep or clean up. So convenient to turn on the tap. Run the disposal for a moment, and the mess is gone, theoretically won't clog the drain. Most food scrap should go in the compost at best, bin at worst, but it is nice to not have to muck about with cleaning a nasty drain strainer for the bits that make it to the drain.

I mean, it's not like we have stacks of drywall just laying around the house. They're usually hanging around the walls and ceilings.

We do like our cold drinks and our convenience. So, I guess I do resemble this comment.

Isn't it because in the US they wash the protective layer off before sale?

Made popular by working class for durability few hundred years later they come with holes already f*****g in them

some but not most

Yeah, we in the U.S. never have warmed up to shelf stable milk, and milk does go well with the cereal mentioned in another post.

Or a cat!

There is not any cereal in the photo. One a bag of 'Cereal Toppers', not sure what it is

You ever try homemade baked Mac and cheese?? SO GOOD!

Garage freezer yes. Fridge no.

A dishwasher cycle can often be more conservative of water than hand washing and rinsing. A gallon or two versus quite possibly many more!

This one depends a bit on how you define "weird".

So........only Americans have microwaves?

Or, in real life, faces the massive TV

and they suck too...because they frequently go off balance in the spin cycle.

Always have cheese n the fridge and peanut butter in the cupboard

T-shirts for everyone as you have the right to bare arms.

We have a mountain of stuffed animals instead of pillows. Much more cuddly.

It's a staple in my household.

There's a maternity clothing store near me called "Pickles and Peanut Butter." The owner said that's what she always craved while pregnant.

I don't use the pre-programmed settings. For some reason I just don't trust they will do what I want.

solo cups

Alternatively, an ever increasing pile of reusable and paper bags when people forget certain places have banned plastic bags.

Compared to Singapore?? LOL They would individually wrap grapes if they could LOL

No, Utz is not a good brand, and cheeseballs taste rank.
