7 things that are familiar only to the US

All countries have their own cultural characteristics and nuances. For foreigners, they are interesting, fascinating, sometimes unusual. AdMe.ru compiled a list of things that are commonplace for Americans, but incomprehensible to all the rest of the inhabitants of the Earth.

Food chopper

In the States, it is customary to sort the garbage, and the Americans, in order to make it easier to do it, have come up with a convenient thing. Inside each sink there is a chopper. Its main task is to grind food waste so that it can easily fall into the sewage system. And I want to note that it is very convenient, because the trash does not emit unpleasant odors from residues, and organic matter does not mix with everything else that needs to be sorted.

Fluorinated water

In the XX century, it was the fluorinated water that began to flow through the pipes in the States. This fact allows not only to drink water directly from the tap, but also to take some care of your teeth, because we all know that fluorine strengthens the teeth and prevents the acid-forming bacteria from reproducing.

Conditioners

Air conditioners are familiar in other countries of the world, but only in the USA are they already provided for from the very construction of the house. And in such cases, the so-called "channel air conditioners" are used, which allow not only to cool the room, but also to refresh it, as they have a direct connection with the street.

Packed potatoes

But this feature seems to be able to surprise almost everyone. We used to buy potatoes in kilograms in bags. And very rarely we think about buying only a few potatoes. But even in such a situation, we do not expect to see individually packaged potatoes. And the phenomenon is very familiar to the people of America.

Letter numbers

The Americans decided to come up with something unusual about phone numbers. We are accustomed to the fact that the phone number can consist only of numbers, but not for Americans. They decided to add more letters.

Road signs

Of course, drivers know road signs, and pedestrians understand something, but to make sure everyone understands everything, they decided in the States to simply write any designation with text.

Disabled vehicles

Any public transport in America has special platforms that descend to the level of the sidewalk to ensure that people with disabilities have unhindered entry to the salon. In addition, it is worth noting that the sidewalks in the country are even and the ramps are low, which makes movement much easier.
