    I remember you couldn't buy alcohol in the supermarket in Pennsylvania.
    But then they've got places to buy alcohol from.

    BOGUS. THE REAL REASON, is the same as why so many don't buy organic produce. They arent as BIG MAC attractive to US consumers. WE throw YUGE amounts away. The Euros EAT iT. And so do I. I buy the UNPERFECT stuff to cook. At half price.

    "I've saw this" ? Are you not really from the UK? The only places I've ever seen the noble weed being sold openly is at the Pudding Shop in Istanbul, various 'pie shops' in Katmandu, and just about anywhere in Amsterdam.

    I expect that only Americans say "I've saw this" .

    Another way to keep them from incubating is to eat your rooster. Unfertilized eggs never incubate.

    I was hoping this wasn't about that (see how I tried to distract attention)... Alas, that was just poor grammar on my part, a fault to which even us English speaking British folk aren't immune from.
    Kudos for pulling me up on that.
    I've seen or I saw; I should've said.

    I've digressed a lot in this thread and learned that Subway uses powered egg and that I've never taken the time to notice how eggs are stored in America or even to see any that were bleached.

    The thread title is mega cringe. It is clickbait, and it does not represent the truth in ANY WAY. To begin with, Europe is not a SINGLE country. Most certainly I can assure you, eggs are almost always REFRIGERATED in Bulgaria. Inside refrigerated showcases, inside, where there's cold temperatures.

    I've seen some eggs outside of fridges but that can be only seen in the most retarded stores where I don't shop. I don't want to catch Salmonella.

    Yeah. For Britain and for Europe. You should thank Americans that you're even using the Internet and a computer. And thank Edison too. You would've been stuck with candles otherwise. Like in the Medieval Ages.

    I switch hands because it's super boss. I just cut with me knife, then lay the knife down, grab a fork with my righty, put a left elbow on the table, and bossing can start.

    Without us Europeans, Americans would not even exist. We gave Americans their life, clothing, housing, automobiles, aeroplanes, shoes, computers, the ability to produce and prepare food,
    and language. They gave us Coca Cola, baseball caps, and weapons to kill more ..... and faster.

    "We gave Americans CLOTHING"? Lol, Denim initially gained popularity in 1873 when Jacob W. Davis, a tailor from Nevada, manufactured the first pair of rivet-reinforced denim pants.

    And you're free to drive your Peugeot with 90 horsepower. I think I'm gonna stick to Ford Mustang Terminator Cobra, HEMI Cuda or a Viper SRT. And you're free to drive your Peugeot with 90 horsepower.

    Coca-Cola is awesome. Baseball caps protect from sun, so that's hell of a good invention. A hell of a good invention!

    And God made people, but Samuel Colt made them equal.

    Enjoy freedom.

    Don't diss the Peugeot, especially the 504 model. They are wonderful cars. I don't know that the quality is any better than the Ford, which is not known for its quality.

    Thank an entire nation for individual genius? Hell to the no! I have huge respect and deep admiration for entrepreneurs, but American people - in general and as a whole - are bloody barbarians. :D

    They cannot even pronounce thr letter T, ffs! Plus, American women are not as hot as European women. :)

    Europe threw out their Kalvinistic bags of puke, unproductive farmers and Sicillian mafiosi and together, these degenerates, built what is today known as America. :p

    American women are featured mostly on Hollywood movies. So you don't like them? You don't like women on Hollywood movies? Weird.

    And it's not ONLY Edison by the way.

    Not all of them, no. And, actresses are more of an exception than they are a rule. For example, the average Bulgarian girl is prettier than the average American girl. ;)

    Why so obsessed with America, bro?

    Can't be necessarily true since Bulgaria's only 5-6 million if we don't count the minorities, and USA is ~350 mil. We have a lot of crocodiles believe me. If I start posting photos of some crocs, it'll be bad. I'll shatter even my own dreams.

    For example, our Miss Bulgaria 2013 or something like that I believe, we even got a nickname for her. We call her Miss Crocodile.

    Google that: "мис крокодил" and you'll see her. The thing in the quotes, it's the literal translation of Miss Crocodile.

    My obsession is with freedom, guns, knives, and since almost all, and definitely all greatest knife manufacturers are American. Old V8 engines are great. Insanely reliable. Nothing can match that. Nothing rides better than Cadillacs.

    And when I had a very tough time in life and my business was stalling, miserably failing, an American that barely knew me did the unthinkable for me. For some nobody. So yeah. And not only him. Other people too. For which I'll be forever grateful, with all my heart.

    When I had some car trouble in Italy, an old man from Louisiana stopped and helped me. Only him. Not one Italian or anyone else cared.

    And American moral values are on a whole different level. The literature, books, everything is different. Elevated, not stupid.

    When Laura Ingalls Wilder was born (1867) near Pepin, WI, and grew up near De Smet, SD, Pa and her mother didn't refrigerate eggs. Life was tough, they were thin and often hungry. She lived to be 90 and her husband 92. She had a brother die in infancy but the rest of the clan was tough and fairly long-lived.

    Crocodiles :laughing:

    But, that is not a very typical example of a Bulgarianess, is it?

    Sure, I like Constitutional Liberty and guns too, but that is hardly emblamatic for modern America.

    Fair enough. I prefer Europeans though.
