| 0:00.0 | Italians can lose it over broken pasta, but what makes Americans snap? |
| 0:06.0 | Breaking Italians in front of spaghetti. Oh, okay, serious answers now. |
| 0:10.7 | Hearing a request for lemonade and delivering something carbonated. I was visiting England once |
| 0:16.0 | and asked for a soda. I'm from New York, and I meant a Coke, obviously. My British mom warned me to ask for |
| 0:21.6 | Coca-Cola, and I, at eight, insisted I knew more and asked for a soda. I got something like a |
| 0:27.5 | club soda. You know, America has a lot of different regional foods, but as an East Coast guy, |
| 0:33.1 | a cheese steak is a really simple dish, composed of shredded up steak with melted cheese on a hoagie roll. |
| 0:39.9 | It's so simple I didn't think it could be messed up. And then I traveled some. Wow, I was |

| 1:26.8 | I've been getting an insane number of responses to this, and thank you. I just wanted to point out that this is meant to be humorous. I'm a Chicagoan with a son in Wisconsin, and we're up there all the time. |
