Yasmin Summan asked Twitter if her local American Food Aisle was accurate and Americans had questions of their own. Most notably, has anyone in the U.S. every seen a hot dog in a jar? It just seems...wrong. No wonder the world seems to have a low opinion of the American diet. For some more culture clash, here are some cultural habits of the UK that are just fascinating.

    american food - Text - emo mom Follow @YasmineSumman LEMME EXPLAIN THE HOT DOGS IN A JAR: they are pre-cooked, so you don't need to cook them. Are Americans on about sausages? Because we have those too and they are raw, hence they are kept in our chilled food aisles. This has fried my brain, goodnight. sausages MAGES ALL SHOPPING NEWS MIDEOS Wikinge 8 Hot Dogs Sponsored Shop for sausages Sale Up to £10 £10-30 Over 30 What's Gasmere Premium Pork Instructions: Wikinger Hot Dogs are pre-cooked and
