"A&W created the third-pounder. It was the same price as McDonald's quarter-pounder. It bombed massively. When they tried to find out why, it was discovered that Americans thought they were being cheated because three is a smaller number than four. A&W — realizing they can't explain grade school fractions to fully grown adults without coming across as condescending assholes — quietly took the burger off the menu."
Europeans and Asians in film always criticize Americans as being big, and basic and dumb and uncultured. And rightfully so, most Americans fit that mold and cliche, and stereotype. Americans want everything now, their way. Impatient. They always feel they are right. Big food. Big roads. Big cars. Big egos. Big homes. Big buildings. Big guns. Big ammo. I recently watched SuperCapitalist 2016 and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen 2003 and Die Hard 1988 movies and there were references to American culture and ways of life, in an unflattering way.
Unflattering movies/documentaries about America abound from around the globe, from friendly to truly spiteful ones, in which we also learn a great deal about preconceived notions of what America is.
