Australia better than the US

[SomeRandom]

Now before you guys go off, the title is purely tongue in cheek. I mean nothing by it.
Just having a go, as we Aussies say

But as I’m not American, I’m curious as to your thoughts on this video. It’s an American currently living in Sydney, comparing the two countries and giving her opinion on a few things the Aussies do better than the US.

Thoughts? Comments? Opinions?

Is that why they needed American nuclear powered submarines?

Is that why they needed to buy American nuclear powered submarines?

Well, I do find it interesting and weird that America had gay marriage first, but it may not last so Australia just may be able to outshine America on that one yet.

Nope. We need those because China.
There are plenty of things the US does better than Australia, to be honest. But we're not going to talk about those here.

'Interesting and weird' for you.
'Disappointing and hard to explain' for me.

At least it's more secure there than here.

These are all true, however this is the deal breaker, the Aussies have no clue what mayonnaise is and you can't find Blue cheese salad dressing anywhere. They also call french fries chips but that is just a minor annoyance.

That's a bad thing?

As a merican I gots to slather the real mayonnaise on everything.

You ask for mayo in Australia and what you get is Miracle Whip

It won't get rolled back here. No chance.

I'm not sure when you came here or which part, but...

Typically where I live you'll get either whole egg mayonaise or kewpie (lots of Asian food).
Beerenberg blue cheese salad dressing is available at Woolworths. That's our largest supermarket. There are other brands available, just indicating it's easy enough to get.
And guilty re : chips. We also call potato crisps 'chips' just to confuse things...lol.

Unless you go to Maccas, of course. Then they're French fries.

We definitely have the Americans covered in terms of elite Aussie Rules footballers.

Just the one American (Mason Cox) playing these days at the top level.
Hundreds of Aussies.

Clear indicator of talent.
