15 Foods/Drinks That Americans Adopted From Other Cultures, And Took Credit For It (Page 3)

[Anonymous]

Right now a number of scottish people are shedding tears over whisky being called Irish.

[WhaChaChaKing]

We're a lot younger than Europe or China, like seriously? Almost everything has been done. Give us a break.

[SleepingSnorlax]

Literally take credit for none of those thing besides peanut butter
I thought peanut butter was invented by george w carver an American dude

[ThatBritishLad]

It's fine because they're 2% Italian, 4.7% German and a whole 5% English. You know, because that makes them part Italian, German and British.

[bubbletrouble]

true but we made it all better ;)

besides America is a melting pot of other cultures

[HauteBrilliance]

I agree, places like Canada and the U. S are just a huge pot mixed with different races and cultures!!

[Alex88F]

whatever, let's make a party and bring all those stuff to the table man!!

[Anonymous]

Didn't think Americans took credit for most of these. But it doesn't matter where it's from, anyone can enjoy them. They're all just made by fellow humans

[Pacificblue62]

Key Lime Pie, Pecan Pie, Corn Dogs, Milkshakes and Tater Tots dont belong to Europe though.

[YummyYumi]

Americans have best foods! :) But they can't beat our Kleftiko.

[myTake Owner]

Are you Greek? If yes, I want to ask you something then.

[YummyYumi]

Sure ask me.

[myTake Owner]

Ωραία, τα Ελληνικά επιτρέπονται στα σχόλια, οπότε δε θα μας καταλάβουνε.
Ξέρεις που μπορώ να βρω μαγαζιά (ή και sites ακόμα) που να αγοράζουνε διάφορα αντικείμενα, σε καλές τιμές; Δεν εννοώ παλαιοπωλεία, γιατί τα αγοράζουνε για λίγα.

[YummyYumi]

όχι, Δεν ξέρω συγνώμη :(

[myTake Owner]

ΟΚ καλώς, δεν πειράζει. Αν ψάχνεις κάτι συγκεκριμένο, μπορεί να το έχω. Πουλάω διάφορα.

[QueenofSexyFoxes]

Hi YummyYumi I was wondering if I could message you? Its about Greek language.

[Anonymous]

I knew for most but I thought ice cream was Italian

[myTake Owner]

Gelato is Italian.

[Opinion Owner]

Whats the difference?

[myTake Owner]

Italian is more... colored.

[Anonymous]

America did not take credit for this stuff fool. We are a multicultural nation.

[BigBallerSodaPop]

What's with the constant dissing on Americans?

We're also the world's police when we need to be.

[ThisDudeHere]

Nobody's forcing you to eat the American variants.

[myTake Owner]

Why so supportive to the Americans lately?

[ThisDudeHere]

I'm not supportive of them at all. I don't like them taking things and selling them as their own either. But then again I don't care of them doing so since I'm not forced to buy them. Besides, the 80's culture you like so much (I'm assuming you're who I think you are), draws most of the influence from America anyway.

[myTake Owner]

You are spot on about who I am. And ironically, the most bands I like are... American (!)

Does it mean I accept it, when they want to take credit for anything? No.

[Maxemeister]

Woah woah woah the burger patty and the sandwich part was invented by Americans, so in essence yeah it is America. Fact check

[Maxemeister]

And no flavored ice was used in China and used by the Greeks before them. Ice Cream was introduced in the American World Fair in St. Louis. Get rekt

[myTake Owner]

Dude I couldn't care less. Don't make me start again about Americans, now that I have calmed down a little bit.

[Maxemeister]

I don't care, your facts are incorrect and you're already starting shit about Americans. Don't write about what you don't know.

[Maxemeister]

This is actually very easy to google, you know

[myTake Owner]

Just leave me alone. I'm really fed up that I didn't win the Editor Of Month after all this effort I put writing all those MyTakes. Now I have lost inspiration, by a huge degree.

[Maxemeister]

Stop commenting and I'll stop commenting. Somebody probably earned it. Please stop hating on America, because it's not that bad a country

[myTake Owner]

When you claim you are the world's Police... when you rub your "freedom" to other people's faces... when you claim "We are #1."... I really just can't!

And you manage to make every other country around the world, imitating your culture and your lifestyle. The more "American" you look/behave, the cooler you are.

Now tell me how I shouldn't feel mad.

[Maxemeister]

America has never once claimed it was the world's police. And this "freedom rubbing" thing is a joke people all over the world do as a joke! And militaristically and economically we are number 1.

Not cooler, just more successful. They aren't trying to look American, they're trying to MODERNIZE.

You shouldn't feel mad because you were taught all of your life that America is an awful country and it is resented worldwide for being very powerful. Please, think outside the box

[myTake Owner]

Just remember this. If one day I will come to America, I will NEVER tip, and tell to the waiters there that tipping is stupid. That's what I will do.

[Maxemeister]

Well you'll get some dirty looks but I don't think they'll do anything

[myTake Owner]

What if I called you health-freaks?

[Maxemeister]

Like how?

[myTake Owner]

If in case they start arguing about their tipping culture.

Sorry but that's how I view America. Health freaks, who tip generously, anti-communists, patriots, and saving themselves till marriage.

Convince me you are not like that.

[Maxemeister]

What makes them health freaks?

[myTake Owner]

Seeing how often questions like "Is this good or bad for the health?", and how many anti-smokers and anti-drinkers exist here, you make me believe that. At least for younger generations.

GAG represents the average American aged 15-25.

[Maxemeister]

This isn't health-freak, this is for many countries. Health-freak is refusing to touch things like doorhandles and public toilets because of germaphobia. This is general concern for health that can prevent cancers

[myTake Owner]

Do you want extra proof?

www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q2070941-how-many-mls-of-soda-including-energy-drinks-you-drink-per-week-on

Look how little soda most youngsters drink. LOOK.

[Maxemeister]

Do u know what soda is?

[myTake Owner]

Of course, drinks like Coca-Cola and Sprite. Most of you call them unhealthy.

[Maxemeister]

yes, because it's nothing but sugar and caffeine that accelerates heart disease by 20-30 years.

[myTake Owner]

Then stop wondering when I call you a "health-freak".

[Maxemeister]

What is the life expectancy in your country?

[myTake Owner]

80.63, now that I googled it.

[Maxemeister]

Good, then people in your country don't drink excess amounts of soda. Anyone who drinks a lot of soda will drop dead at 30 or 40

[myTake Owner]

Remember what you said. I will come back in 15 years when I will be 40, and remind you of what you said.

[Maxemeister]

K. Make sure to drink 1 soda a day!

[myTake Owner]

I do in winter. In summer I drink two cans, because you feel more thirsty.

[Maxemeister]

Kk good luck

[Rissyanne]

I want some pizza now..

[FanGirl67]

Damn, whatdid Americans make?

[Anonymous]

I suggest you to do some more research before spewing out ignorance.

[DizzySB]

Why do you find this ignorant?

[myTake Owner]

@DizzySB It's called "butthurt American".

[DizzySB]

It really is.

[Anonymous]

I would kill for a donut right now.

[YourFutureEx]

Good take :)

[CorrectGirl]

God Im soooooo hungry
