You should try one from a bakery where they bake all their bread at the back 😋🤤
If this is the German Nutri-Score it is almost useless, as the political process to determine how food will get rated was not science- but instead absolutely lobby-ridden. One example I remember was the justification for it being the way it is, that otherwise a banana would get an E rating due to its (natural!) sugar content - completely neglecting that fresh food don't get a rating. So it is possible to have a fatty/salt-loaded pizza was a score of B, as it compares this pizza only to other pizzas/comparable food types. And when it has less fat/salt than the others (which still can be too much for a healthy diet) it gets a good rating 😡
The post office in my village in France has hours like this. It was a change (from the US), but then I just drive to the next village which is only about 8 km from here and they have different hours.
The European mind can't comprehend going to a website, not being spammed by "we take your privacy seriously" pop-ups that involve finding where "Legitimate interest" is hidden to turn off a few dozen options to then manage to get to the site you wanted......only for it to then pop up something saying that you must either accept all of the invasive tracking or pay us. F'k that noise, the modern web is an absolute sh*tshow.
These are rental bikes which you still have to pay for to use.

That's called Mettbrochen. It's fresh raw minced beef and onion on pumpernickel. My German mother and grandma used to eat it all the time.
Australian here... I comprehend the milk in a bag, my only question is why?
For context the 1st of May is International Workers Day in many countries and you get a day off of work (if you have to work on that day you get paid more because it's considered a Holiday). I think in the USA it's celebrated in September so it's not that they can't comprehend it, they just celebrate it on a different day.
Well I guess this is a winner. MY American mind does not see anything unusual
Are those horrible push button taps? If they are, I don’t want to comprehend it. Especially in a shower
Poire au vin. Whole pealed pear cooked in a mixture of red wine, sugar and spice (mostly cinnamon and clove).

To be honest, there's a lot our European minds can't comprehend about the US either (good and cool things). I'd love to visit, the US is such a vibe. Maybe in the future :)
Wait until Trump is out of office. Not that most Americans would not be welcoming to you because they will but the idiot agents at customs are acting like dickheads now to tourists.
