6 American Things I Can No Longer Live Without | PART 4

My driveway and walkways cover 2 acres. Good luck with a travel mug of salt.

I have an ice maker at my vacation home. We can show up, plug it in, and have enough ice for cocktails by the time we get the car unpacked.

Those ice tubes make ice safer for children. They are less likely to choke because air can pass through the ice tube vs. ice cube.😊

An Americanism. We never say Lawrence. We say Larry. 🤣

What does your wife think of you coming out of the closet

I like to think of the top sheet as a texture thing. It's a hell of a lot softer than my linen duvet cover

You cannot eat string cheese like that. What's wrong with you? Do you not have a single Italian person in your orbit? I'm wounded watching you BITE string cheese 😂😅

Hmm those appliances look suspiciously like Smeg which is totally not an American company. Also super expensive. Just wondering.

hey larry love the videos but as someone who lives in a lake effect snow belt chicago does not really have to worry about lake effect very much. in the great lakes the wind is almost always blowing from the west and so blows from the prairie out over lake michigan and dumps the snow where i live. you do get the occasional cyclone storm coming down from canada where the wind will go any which way so i dont discourage being ready for big snowfalls but it's way rarer for chicago to get a whole foot of snow dumped on them in an hour than buffalo or holland

So you missed out on “short sheeting” a bunk mate at sleep away camp, or your brother at home. What would you have done instead?

The big blanket on top isn’t a quilt unless it’s quilted. But it’s always a “comforter”

That top sheet sounds like a good idea, might have to look into getting one if they sell them in the UK, as for ceiling fans, I do remember seeing them in houses in the 80's here, but they all fell out of favour, and everyone just bought a pedestal fan. (also they scared the hell out of me, as I always feared one would get loose and fall on my head.)

Top sheets help us to stay cool in the bed during the summer.

Learn the farmers toss for the salt your hands may dry out some but it works for me

Lawrence, 12-year-old me living in Chicago would have LOVED to have seen a plastic container I can put the salt in before spreading it on the sidewalk, rather than shaking the open mouth of the REALLY HEAVY bag instead XD

Laurence, did you know that you can reverse the direction that your ceiling fan spins to optimize your comfort depending on the season?

Summer:
When rotating counterclockwise, the fan pushes cool air directly downwards, creating a windchill effect and making you feel cooler.
Winter:
When rotating clockwise, the fan gently pushes warm air that accumulates near the ceiling back down into the living space.

Most people don't even know about this feature, so since the ceiling fan is something you particularly enjoy, I was curious if you knew about it. Thank you for the fun and interesting videos. Have a nice day!

We call Summer "top sheet only" season! 😊

Are UK sheet sets ONLY sold with a fitted sheet and pillowcases?! Or is it all sold INDIVIDUALLY?! WEIRD!

You can keep evil spirits out of your home with your sal dispenser,as well

I was drinking ice water out of the same exact Medieval times glass mug while you did. Gave me a laugh. Scottish wife and I enjoy watching these videos, thanks for the entertainment!

they are all better at winning arguments better.

I have a 5 gallon bucket and an old ricotta cheese container I use to sprinkle ice melt (pet friendly, not salt). I didn't know there was such a thing as a special rock salt shaker

Salt is really bad for everything it doesn't only destroy snow....

If this is a popular series, wouldn't your analytics tell you we HAVE already watched the other parts?

Personally, I can't stand the feel of blankets against my skin. I like a nice soft cotton top sheet, preferably at least 500 thread count.

I have that exact ice maker and a mug that looks exactly the same except mine has the Tardis on it. Lol. What a crazy time we live in.

Top sheets are pointless and annoying. My girlfriend and I have been arguing about this for 3 years, and we still don't have a top sheet on our bed.

The majority of americans i have seen (myself included) don't use a special salt dispenser, we just take an old plastic cup and use that.

Why doesn't he add a link to previous entries in the description?

I haven't seen those salt dispensors and I live in Minnesota. It looks like a great idea, but usually people just use a big scoop and shake it onto the sidewalk, sometimes they don't spread it very evenly.

I ordered that ice melt shaker. Greatness!

Not all American mailboxes are like that. We too have letters holes, community lockers and much more. The mailbox here is 1 of the more common if not the most common way we get mail.

Individual citizens are allowed to salt the ground and you wonder why your soil is shit.

Top sheets serve no purpose. They just end up kicked to the bottom of the bed beneath the blanket

Turn the heat down at night. Buy an electric blanket with two dials for heat. Your wife can turn up the hear on the blanket and you can dial down. Or instead of an electric blanket, an electric mattress cover with two dials for heat.

As a former midwesterner (Milwaukee), I was unprepared for the glimpse of my former miserable life there.

Uhh quick thing. Unless your house has a filter system in it or you filter the water as it comes out of the sink I strongly recommend not drinking straight out of the taps with ye ole american pipes. Our standard of quality with things isnt the best.

Regarding bed sheets and blankets: You don't have to buy ones sized for your bed! Only the fitted sheet needs to be fitted, you can buy two sets of twin everything else, and you and your partner can just have your own sheets and blankets and whatnot in the same bed without any of the nonsense associated with trying to share. I don't know why more people don't do this, but my wife and I have never argued about someone hogging the covers or waking the other up by moving them. So much simpler, so much better. The only downside is that if you "make the bed" in the morning it looks a bit odd... but who cares? The bed isn't a presentation piece, it's a thing you sleep on. With closed eyes!

Going to London for the first time this year. Made SURE we had a hotel with AC. Already wondering if I will have to drink room temp tap water all week, now I have to pack a top sheet too?? Also, my ceiling runs 24/7/365. Why are you all so backward?

Honestly, we just buy bagged ice from store and throw it in our freezer. If I hook up the water to the fridge one of these days, it will just have ice.

Ceiling fans are good in the winter too. Heat rises, so you run the fan in reverse, and it pushes that heat back down to where it is useful.

Was enjoying your content until the blasphemy. Will not be subscribing, and hope you take this into consideration for future videos.

Heating the whole house is expensive. I keep mine at 60F and just use blankets or heat the room I'm in mostly.

Ceiling fans are used in winter to help circulation of heat from the ceiling since heat rises.

Lawrence, why aren't I allowed to use Incogni in Australia? Booooo!

Hey Lawrence, if you REALLY wanna change your ice melting life, look into seed spreaders. You can also fill em with ice melt to spreatd salt in the summer. They make handheld battery-operated ones that have a scatter spread or, if you have a big drive/walkway, you can use a rolling drop seeder. Just make sure you wash them thoroughly before attempting to use them for spreading grass seed in the summer

People buy Many more clothes than they used to.

British wardrobes have fairylands, American closets have...monsters.
