I can't get enough of these videos.
The last several years I have certain podcasters I watch done by Europeans reacting to other streams about America, a lot about our food and then when they come to the US, their travel vlogs.
Besides just how big the US really is versus all of Europe (not Russia) the various landscapes, national and state parks and of course, our varied food choices and portion sizes. Free refills for drinks (non alcoholic) always blows their minds, along with ice water. Europeans don't like ice in their drinks for some reason.
I'm not a huge traveler, but I have been to Europe multiple times in the past several years. I don't drink alcohol. When abroad, it's usually Diet Coke, or now Coke Zero, because it's replaced Diet Coke in many areas.
Few places have refills, the ones that do started in the USA.
When you order a soft drink, you'll get a small can or bottle, usually about 6 to 8 ounces. It will be 4 or 5 Euros for that tiny drink.
The one exception was a pub near my hotel in Munich several weeks ago. They served the Coke Zero in a beer glass, pours the drink from a 2 liter bottle, so it was the largest beverage I was served in the trip to Germany, Austria, and Italy.
