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

Wait, what else do you wear? Sweatpants with a flannel?????

I thought this was going to say Cats

Wearing some right now. Durable.

My husband read an article about women no longer be able to buy the correct jeans (or being satisfied buying them) after 53 because we didn't think we'd look sexy. So I bought one pair, liked it very much, bought the same in 2 other colors. They will last me since jeans are not the only pants I wear. EDIT: Okay, I'm going to add the link to the article here (Reader's Digest picked it up from an UK company). It didn't exactly say what I said above so please read the article. The big thing, though, is that they were saying "...the final data, ... recommend ditching denim by the time you reach 53 y.o. ... not because you’re making a fashion faux pas ... it just becomes harder to find a pair that fits by that age." And I interpreted this as looking sexy because if it doesn't fit properly it's not really sexy (and the def of "sexy" is extensive). Oops, the link is: https://www.rd.com/article/age-stop-wearing-jeans/

I'm a senior citizen but my go to pants have always been jeans. Comfortable, long lasting, and having a 29 inch waist, a very good fit. Slacks for the office but jeans for everywhere else.

I love good jeans. The stuff they sell now is too flimsy and tears if you look at it sideways.

all i wear, always a good fit!!! (i will never buy pre-holed jeans though)

Love my jeans, always will. They're perfect for *almost* everything & everywhere. And with all the different weights of denim, & different styles, I don't really need anything else, except my fleece pajama pants, lol

People younger than me just don't wear jeans anymore. They are 'old people clothes' now..

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.
