A Brit has shared the three things he misses most about America after moving home to the UK, and they all relate to food.
Josh has racked up more than 4.6 million followers on TikTok sharing funny videos that compare the two countries.
Three things Brit misses most about America
“I am a Brit who has spent months in America, and now I’m back in the UK I am having withdrawal symptoms from certain things,” he said.
The first thing he misses are all the intense flavors and spices, claiming that food in the US has far more flavor than in the UK.
“Us Brits aren’t used to flavoring and spices. My palette changed, I’ve come back to the UK and it’s boring,” he said.
Another thing he “needs” and “craves” is crushed ice, which is served everywhere in the US but harder to find across the pond.
“I was introduced to crushed ice in America and it’s changed my life forever. It’s opened a whole different world for me,” Josh said.
However, the thing he misses most is fountain drinks, especially Dr Pepper, which you can find everywhere across the US.
“They just don’t hit the same in the UK. I can’t describe it,” he said. “There’s something about the crushed ice and fountain drinks in America. I have never tried anything as nice.”
Americans thought he’d say something else
In the comments, Americans are really surprised that the TikTok user didn’t say something else – sweet tea!
One person wrote: “No sweet tea?”
“I thought you were going to say sweet tea,” said another.
A third asked: “What about sweet tea?”
The Southern iced tea is clearly a firm favorite across the country, but not too popular with Brits.
Others are telling Josh to buy a crushed ice machine and make his own icy Dr Pepper, but he said it “just won’t be the same”.
