Hmmm was just randomly wondering who lives in America here?
And it might seem like a 'tardish question but what is it like?Lol,in all the films its like duuude but o course it prob isnt like that really.Is it?
And, do you have things like Chavs and Walkers crisps and dressing gowns?
I have never heard of Walker's crisps, but we do have dressing gowns (though I'm not sure how many people actually wear them). We have chavs as well, but I believe they're most widely referred to as wiggers on our side of the ocean. Or morons. Or white, rapper/gangsta wannabes. User's choice, really.

Our crisps are like your chips, whereas our chips are like your French fries. Only thicker and better.
You call our dressing gowns, robes, whereas over here robes are worn by Lords and ladies an Royalty.
What we call biscuits, you call cookies. We do not have anything similar to what you call biscuits over here, because we can cook. :)
We walk on pavements, not sidewalks. Our cars are better dressed with bonnets, whereas yours have hoods.
I'm Also American- but I get to grow up in an especially interesting place: Alabama.
Ever seen the movie Forrest Gump? Yes, most people do speak with those southern drawls here.
Barbecue, Fishin', Nascar... oh, and deep south football is a bloodsport... I'm in a marching band, so I know all about that... What else? Hmm... oh, and when one lives here in Alabama, one should know atleast one guy named "Bubba" and maybe a few "Wayne"s and "Bo"s. Oh, we eat excessive amounts of southern fried food. It's unhealthy, but it is good stuff...
Yay for a caricature of the Heart of Dixie.

We have our Aero bars. Not sure if they're the same as Canadian Aero bars. (In fact, for a while, we had two styles of Aero, when they brought out the current, chunky Aero.)
Not that I'd eat an Aero, it being made by Nestle and all.
We have salt and vinegar. Goldenflake makes them. I don't know if those are shipped to other states or not though, since they're made in Birmingham (Birmingham, Alabama that is...).

I sort of thought that when I looked up an image for Walker's and saw the similarities in the logos, but wasn't really sure if that meant they were essentially the same or not :)

Yes, the major brand being called Easy Cheese. It's most popularly used for putting on top of saltines or other crackers.
I really wouldn't call it an actual spray can of cheese though; the cheese comes out more like nacho cheese from those containers they use for vending at big sporting events. Though it's nowhere near as melty.

Wow, I never realized what a strange concept Easy Cheese was until someone from another country asks about it...
It kinda comes out with ruffly-looking edges if you squirt it fast enough. I made some pretty flower designs with it on various deli foods for Christmas hors doevers at our last family Christmas.

American food is sooooo good. I mean yum! Hershey's Chocolate Bars = heaven. My college teacher went to America and bought a load of Hershey's Kisses back for the class but being from the UK and all, nearly all of my class didn't like them claiming that they tasted like 'cheap, diet chocolate'. On the plus side, I got a bag of unwanted Hershey's Kisses to myself :)
Herhseys do these wonderful dark chocolate nuggats, with a whole almond in them, which are the best chocolates you can ever buy. So why did I keep getting the wrong ones, no matter hat I asked for, hmmm?
I used to love hersheys kisses and tootsie rolls when I was a kid.
Plus Twinkies, and any other type of cakey snack from America.
Walkers is Lays anywhere else in the world. In Romania they only have BBQ and Paprika.
Speaking of Tootsie Rolls, I have a Tootsie Roll purse that's just freakin' awesome. A little bit off topic but I thought I'd throw it in there somewhere :)
I am from the USA!
1. I am so glad that loser Bush was voted out and Obama in! Regardless of the pope's urging to go to confession if you support Obama.
2. I live in the Northeast which is one of the busiest, fastest-paced areas in the country! I have traveled all over the uS and none are as loud, crowded, and fast as the Northeast.
3. I want to visit Europe and learn more about it. Same with Japan.
4. America has better french fries (chips?) because we put salt on ours (hee hee), but Europe is way ahead of us in the green movement.
