What are some of America's Greatest Contributions to the World?

[Evo]

What is in a," slider", that makes it so good?

Well, I don't think anyone has ever said they were "good". It's a mystery why anyone eats them. They're infamous. Many people fear "sliders" (White Castle hamburgers). I was told that they're nicknamed sliders because they give you diarhea (they "slide" out of you). Don't know if that's the real reason.

There are much tastier hamburgers at other places.

I've never had a "slider," but I don't like how (at least the White Castle ones) are like half onions.

Fried cow brain burgers were invented in America

Oh, those "sliders" are really good..

 

[wolram]

Oh, those "sliders" are really good..

They do not look very nice, is there any real meat in them?
I had a Mc donalds burger one time, never again.
but per chance they are different where you live.

Sliders are mini-hamburgers that are steam cooked with onions. Other names for them include{but not limited to} gut bombs and belly busters.
And no, I don't care for them very much, they are really greasy

Ok, I'll give you that one.


But the English invented nudity!

Wouldn't a Krystal burger qualify as a slyder?

I can't wait to hear the logic behind this one.

...

Oh wait, brewnog. Logic! What was I thinking?!

Instant Mashed Potatoes

Nothing to be proud of.

root beer

This alone should makes the USA the single greatest country in the world

Zipper

Swedish Born. Canadian Citizen. Mine as well give America credit for Einstein if you use that criteria.

Pfff, so YOU'RE the country that made America so lazy

 

[hypatia]

Yes Krystal's burgers are also considered sliders..

one of favorit's at the fair...Cotton candy!

 

[lwymarie]

And the video...is that fake too then?

Right. It is fake.

 

[zanazzi78]

Right. It is fake.

Oh you`re too funny!

That is a very bold statement would you like to share with us some of your evidence as to why it`s a fake? (i could do with a good laugh!).

I only have those websites written in Chinese...

 

[lwymarie]

I've killed this thread... should i congratulate myself?
Nah, instead I should cry..

 

[lwymarie]

BTW, I'm not going to offense you Americans...
In fact I love America very much and I wish I lived there...
Anyway I apologize. Forgive me good guys~

 

[Smurf]

you just lost your kill.

 

[lwymarie]

I want to thank you!
I felf embarrassed when I knew I had killed a thread.

 

[honestrosewater]

Yeah, I don't understand those people who enjoy killing threads.

 

[matthyaouw]

It's like hunting for sport, but slightly more ethical. A one page thread is like catching a small fish, or rodent. One this size is the PF equivilant to a modest sized deer or elk. The thread killer thread is like landing a whale with an ordinary fishing hook, or taking down an angry rare tiger using only a tooth pick.

 

[honestrosewater]

Oh, I don't understand sport hunting either.

 

[hypatia]

ohh let's not forget Winchester..the first American repeating riffle!

 

[loseyourname]

you just lost your kill.

Can't we have an unwritten rule that anyone who claims the moon landing was faked just killed the thread and let it be?

I'll never forget the first day I heard the claim that the moon landing was faked. It was some dude that I didn't even know, a friend of a roommate that was at my apartment. He said it had to have been faked because the flag was waving and there is no wind on the moon. Later that night, I was playing Trivial Pursuit and one of the questions asked for the name of the engineer responsible for the self-waving flag used in the moon landing.

They made a self-waving flag? That's great. Do you remember who designed it?

The Constitution.

 

[brewnog]

How can you praise the US for inventing Budweiser, Hombre?

For a start, it tastes horrible and is the scourge of the beer world. Secondly, it originated in the Czech Republic anyway!

I don't like American beer much...I don't mind some of the microbreweries but they are still no match for overseas beer. Just MO of course...

Anyone else here like VB?

(US) Budweiser doesn't taste of a damn thing as far as I can tell, and cannot be associated to proper Budwesier (Budvar) in any way... despite the name. Now Budvar... that's a beer. Better still from Czechland, Pilsner Urquell... the original and the best!

 

[Skyhunter]

I thought we were discussing what we love about America, not what America has contributed to the world.

What I love most about America is that after the revolutionary war the king of England abdicated his sovereignty to the American people. The framers of our constitution reinforced the notion of personal sovereignty by stating that "all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with inalienable rights". Even though those rights are being steadily eroded, the constitution is still the organic document that all positive US laws must adhere to.

(At least until the Supreme court is packed with idealogues like John Roberts, who believe that the same inalienable rights should also be bestowed upon corporations.)

Why does everyone feel so utterly compelled to add there own little political .02 cents in at the bottom of their post? PF has an entire sub-forum just for that kind of stuff.

Oooooh, now you're talking!
I've been promised a couple of bottles of Pilsner Urquell sometime, got a Czech mate bringing me some back. Pun intended.
