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!!!!

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.

Nope. Then again, I don't have a garage either.

mine is in the basement, it is full of beer, but i never shop at Costco

we used our garage fridge to store extra drinks in the summer, pears and apples from the trees in the fall, and baking/food at Christmas

Lots of frozen food from a store like costcos, but no garage, no extra refrigerator filled with beer (sad face).

Nope. I have a deep freezer though.

Beer yes, Costco no.

I grew up in a house with a garage freezer. The house I’m living in now, we bought a small one for dog and cat food XD

Lol this feels like a rich people thing (rich to me at least) i cant pay $50 a month for a Costco membership, nor do i have a garage. We did however buy a small freezer for our apartment so itd be more cost efficient in the long run.

Lol, no.

My garage freezer is filled with meat. My BIL’s garage fridge has a keg in it with the tap on the outside. He calls it his kegerator.

Nope. Freezer doesn't not have a bunch of processed foods.

single people primarily

garage fridge here, but it’s not for beer i can’t carry most things, so i’m now able to back into my garage, put things in the fridge & not worry about anything until my husband gets 🏡

only those with $$ most can barely aford the one in the kitchen!

They do come in handy. During the worst of the covid run on the grocery stores my family never had to worry about food stuffs as we were well stocked across our various standard fridge/freezers and deep freezes plus canned goods.

I don't. But I need to get a chest freezer. Remember, most of us are not walking distance from a store. We get groceries once a week, or less if you are in a really rural area. Edit: and some people have to work more than one job, so shopping regularly is tough.

The garage fridge is typically your old fridge that you replaced. We have a garage fridge that is used mainly for beer and we use the freezer for meat. If we didn't replace our fridge in the house, we wouldn't have a garage fridge.

Not every household. Rarely is there beer or soda in ours. We do our best to keep as many fresh foods as possible. Lots of deer meat in the garage freezer.

Wouldn't say that this is true. We had one once, just because we owned a refrigerator and moved into a house that had one. Since it was a rental, we wanted to keep our fridge for the next move, so it went into the garage.

My house doesn't even have a garage.

I know lots of people who have a fridge in their garage or garden shed. It’s mostly used during the warmer seasons for drinks and meats for bbq and garden parties.

I have a garage freezer. Filled with meat from Costco.

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.
