Every corner of the world has its own unique traditions and customs, including the U.S. Though it might seem like most of the things we do are pretty normal, other countries often find American practices to be extremely odd.
Our eating habits, for example, are quite atypical compared to our friends across the pond. These are just a few foods that, apparently, only Americans enjoy.
