British people, apparantly.
Wherever I go in America, as soon as someone hears my accent its “Oh My God! Are you from England?!?!?!”

we don’t wear pants we wear trousers, pants are underwear. We definitely don’t sit on our fanny’s, fanny’s are something else, trash is rubbish, gas is petrol, sneakers are trainers, candy is sweets, trump is a twat, liquor stores are off licence, shopping mart is super market, cops are police, trunks are boots, dollars are pounds, cents are pence, guns we call illegal weapons you call toys, highways are motorways.

Buzzfeed’s done whole videos about people from one country trying snacks from other countries. Usually it’s one way or the other, but there was a straight up UK/US exchange vid:
The variation of potato chip/crisp flavors country by country is always interesting to me.

Oh, and KitKat ice cream. I had it in Canada and it was amazing. Came to find out it’s packaged only for the UK, Canada and maybe Oz, but never the US.
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame!

That looks good, but this is where it’s at:
Edit: I just found an announcement they started selling it in the US last summer. Except it “features” low calorie, light chocolate ice cream instead of the blend of chocolate and vanilla with caramel swirls. 
Don’t insult my palate, Nestle.

Electric is waaaay faster. And what other people said. You can even get ones that hold the right temperature for steeping your tea. I also find it hard to tell how much water is really in a stove kettle, but electric ones have viewing windows or are outright glass.

I also use the kettle to boil water for cooking with to speed things like pasta up. I don’t really know if you’d gain much with an electric kettle in the grand scheme of things but here they are standard. I don’t think I’ve ever been in a house that doesn’t have one.

This! I put water in my kettle in the morning, and when it’s done, I pour it into my pot for oatmeal and my coffee press at the same time.
