So, I found a use for this thing. The idea about how Europeans hate genetically-modified (GM) foods with a passion, but Americans are mostly indifferent toward them, came up in email. It made me think of the many things that are the opposite -- popular in the rest of the world, but not stateside. Here's my list:
- diesels
- hatchbacks
- nuclear power plants
- Fanta
- pro soccer ("football")
- men's fashion magazines
- the metric system
That's all I could come up with. Feel free to post your own as comments.
