So I was thinking

America has:

The best fucking candy
the best fucking beer
the best fucking wine
the best fucking liquor
the most diverse fucking food and restaurants

Well it's not nearly as big. I'd take quality over variety anyway. Still, you could find international food there, although their perceived notion of American food is kinda gross... but our notion of Italian food ain't that great either.

No wine gums; no jelly babies.

Okay, you've turned that around over the past decade and can make a solid case.
>The best fucking wine
Spare me your shelves full of fruit bomb Cabs and Zinfandel. You've got some gems, but the majority is grape juice.
>The best fucking liquor
Bourbon's pretty good, but you don't have anything else others don't do better.

Chicken fried steak invalidates everything else America puts on a plate.

America does do some stuff really well, and whether serious or troll lumping it all together into USA#1 just does a disservice to those things.

We have those things in very limited and particular places. This makes a big difference. Those places in which you do find the "best" of these things are often in places which people from nicer places have moved here and just kept on doing what they do best. To say "America has:...." is kind of arbitrary. Think about it. Yes, we have these things, but not even in a majority of these places which are also our own. For the most part, America is a shit hole of fat ass rednecks and retarded niggers talking about their night at the club. That is the legacy of our nation. Yes.

>maybe for wine
I can see a better case for beer than wine. I'd take a top Vega Sicilia or Penfolds over the best America can turn out any day of the week, and amongst more general high shelf producers the best Rhone vineyards absolutely annihilate the Napa and Sonoma. Give me more delicious Petite Sirah and less boring fruity Cab Sauvignon and I might reconsider.

French wines are often overrated on the basis of being French, but it was a competition 35 years ago comparing a very select group of some of the top producers in both countries. In the interim, most Napa producers spent a good two decades embracing fruit bombs like a crack whore embraces penis if it means she might get to buy more crack and are only just now getting out of that rut.

>The best fucking candy
Could be, but your licorice and chocolate sucks.

>the best fucking beer
No. I like heavily hopped american ales and for the most parts you got stouts nailed down, but you'll never beat english ales, belgian ales or german hefeweizens or bocks in their game. Also, over the past few years Scandinavia and in some respects Finland have come to be pretty goddamn competent in various microbrews.

>the best fucking wine
Chile, Argentina, South Africa etc. have always been superior IMO.

>the best fucking liquor
lol NO.
>what is brandy, grappa, bitters, premium vodka, single malt whisky, pastis, raki, gin, absinthe etc.
Don't get me wrong, I've tasted some fine american liquors and appreciate that you e.g. make your own gin, but when it comes down to quality and tradition, you'll never reach the old country.

>the most diverse fucking food and restaurants
Never been to USA so I can't really say much on that but like previously said, I'll take quality over quantity any day.

Restaurants maybe, you do realize Europe has crammed everything into a continent not much larger than Texas, si? Going by sheer size alone means the US could house more restaurants than Europe ever could, only logical they will be more diverse.

How common is it for Americans to use the setup in pic related for their bathrooms?

I went to visit some relatives in Iowa, and got to stay at their house. They lived in a pretty small city and had to do this because of something that had to do with their city sewage treatment.

Essentially you had to throw the used toilet paper in a separate bin and then also scoop the biggest turds back up and put them in yet another separate bin.

I've experienced the TP thing in hotels like Cyprus, Spain and Greece but the scoop thing came as a complete shock and I thought they were joking.

Could some American shed some light on this? How prevalent is it?

Thanks.
