America is not fancy pants

America is not fancy pants

 

Our culture is rich as Americans. I mean we get a bad rap a lot of the time. I think each country has it's faults and has it's amazing sides to. When others look at the title "American" (take All the politics out of it) We are known for the hamburger and also McDonald's. THAT'S what most think of first. (and I'm going off of Internet survey and we all know how reliable that is) but, Hey.....McDonald's is not just for Americans and although we like to claim the hamburger it was said the first known patty could date back to the Mongolians era. (I know crazy right?) So I looked up a list of  some of things we invented and it goes as follows. (and when i say "we" theses are things that were invented IN America not necessarily Americana's but....that's what we all are anyways right? American/immigrants at one time or another. Well....unless you are Native American.) Anyways....here is the list.

You are very welcome world!!!!!!This is just some and we are known for the Hamburger? lol

 

In saying that I'm am very guilty of thinking American stuff is just not fancy. (and don't jump to conclusions that I'm non-American or that i don't like it here because that is NOT what I'm talking about) Like if you want a good quality product it has to be from somewhere that has a women with a nice pleasing accent. If I had a girl (non actress) try to sell me something in your run of the mill American accent I might buy it but ......if the girl is telling me to "get the London look" I have to admit it grabs my attention RIGHT away. This is with cosmetics and hair care products A LOT! Weather they are made in America or not we market this as being "exotic" and I believe because even Americans don't think we are fancy. Like "imported from Italy" WOW.... sounds fancy and expensive. "bra from France" FANCY BOOBS! I don't in vision someone from Duck Dynasty trying to sell me anything "fancy" I do have a feeling that America has embraced it's non New York, Non LA side kinda Hillbilly, Hick side. So is America fancy pants? I don't think so but our list of inventions is long and others would not enjoy life as much without them so....You are welcome world and you are also your welcome for McDonald's.  Oh and.....Thank you for the "London look" :-)

 

-Here are a few Ad's to sum up my point. The last is an American/Hillbilly add. :-) Food for thought-
