People of Wallmart<br>Nowhere else in the world will you find such a vast array of unique individuals as in a local Wallmart.

Black Friday Stampede<br>I understand how sales work, but what I don\u2019t get is why a slightly cheaper flat screen TV is more important than being civilized. People have died in Black Friday stampedes.

Obsession with Bacon<br>Need I say more? Bacon-flavored lip balm, bacon-flavored coke, bacon-flavored vodka\u2026 If you can think of something that has a taste or scent, there\u2019s a bacon-flavored version of it 100%.<br><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2019%5C/04%5C/8-Weird-Things-Americans-Do-the-Rest-of-the-World-Cant-Understand-03.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"900\"' height='\"720\"'>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Flat Earth Society<br>Now, I may be wrong here, but the flat Earth movement has its roots in America, just like 80% of all stupid conspiracies. The Earth is round, people. It\u2019s basic knowledge, and it\u2019s been proven over and over and over and over again.\n\n\n<div class='\"wp-block-image\"'>\n<figure class='\"aligncenter\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2019%5C/04%5C/weird-things-americans-do-the-rest-of-the-world-cant-understand-4.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-46248\"\/'>\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Anti-Vaxxers<br>This is possibly the reason for all the above-mentioned quirks, or it\u2019s just a coincidence. Vaccines don\u2019t make your kids autistic. Rather than reading stupid magazines and listening to celebrities, of all people, read a freaking research paper and vaccinate your poor baby before it\u2019s too late.<br><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2019%5C/04%5C/8-Weird-Things-Americans-Do-the-Rest-of-the-World-Cant-Understand-05.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"900\"' height='\"341\"'>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. The \u201cHow Are You?\u201d Small Talk<br>Here\u2019s an idea: if you don\u2019t really want to hear how people are doing, don\u2019t ask them this dumb question. Only in America this kind of small talk is acceptable. Anywhere else in the world you\u2019d have to stay a while and listen.\n\n\n<div class='\"wp-block-image\"'>\n<figure class='\"aligncenter\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2019%5C/04%5C/weird-things-americans-do-the-rest-of-the-world-cant-understand-5.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-46252\"\/'>\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. Cheerleaders Everywhere<br>Can you think of another country that\u2019s as obsessed with cheerleaders as the US? I can\u2019t, and it scares me. It\u2019s just a bunch of pretty girls in sexy skirts bending and twisting their bodies to the beats of the music\u2026 Well, I see nothing wrong with that. Let\u2019s carry on!\n\n\n<div class='\"wp-block-image\"'>\n<figure class='\"aligncenter\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2019%5C/04%5C/weird-things-americans-do-the-rest-of-the-world-cant-understand-7.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-46249\"\/'>\n\n\n<p><strong>8. Jumbo-Sized Everything<br>Fast food restaurants in America are a multi-billion-dollar business, and almost all of the chains have a Jumbo option in their menu. Why would you NOT want a double coke for the extra 50 cents? Even if you don\u2019t finish it, you still feel good about making a wise purchase. In reality, you\u2019re making a stupid decision, because even a small coke has more sugar than your daily recommended dose. Same goes for jumbo burgers, jumbo hot dogs, and jumbo anything else. Everything is cyclical, and so is this list, because all those jumbo-sized meals lead to obesity, which in turn leads to \u201cwallmart people\u201d. And so the cycle begins anew.\n\n\n<div class='\"wp-block-image\"'>\n<figure class='\"aligncenter\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2019%5C/04%5C/weird-things-americans-do-the-rest-of-the-world-cant-understand-8.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-46250\"\/'>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every country has its peculiarities and the United States of America is not an exception.
