A trip to the store leads me to a treasure trove of indigestible American themed junk food, proper table manners, and a true or false question and answer session that deals with German's confusion over pumpkin pie and ambivalence to David Hasselhoff. If you only remember one thing from this entire series, please let it be that Germany is not in love with David Hasselhoff. Martin, the brave soul at Junkfoodtaster.com granted me permission to share the images and videos he's created of the Mcennedy products. He's actually reviewed hundreds of odd and interesting junk food which are both funny and horrifying to consider eating. http://www.youtube.com/user/JunkFoodTasterDotCom http://www.junkfoodtaster.com/ https://www.facebook.com/JunkFoodTasterDotCom David Hasselhoff tries to save the Berlin Wall - In A Berlin Minute (Week 151) by GNYBerlin aka Luci West who graciously allowed her footage to appear in this program.

Pumpkins are commonly used in soup. "[--]space_paradox I think it's never good to talk in absolutes when it comes about different cultures. While I appreciate the sentiment, a lot of the points he made are simply wrong: a) The "american weeks" aren't something particularly German, it's just some shit supermarkets made up b) Peanut butter isn't rare, you can get it at almost any store, it's just not as popular. c) The fork is held however you want it. Most people have it in the left hand, but it's in no way part of your table manners. d) The part about the forks going into the mouth upside down is just bullshit e) Germans hate pumpkin pie? I don't know, most people at least like pumpkins. All in all it was a nice video, but these kinds of generalizations just create more and more misconceptions about other countries."
