S2, E9: The Stanley Cup Craze Reminded me Why I Left the USA
It's baffling to learn that people are going crazy about an insulated water bottle. It doesn't matter if you're living in the U.S., and not in Europe like me, this trend is still bonkers. This reminds me of how mindless consumerism works and how it especially affects the younger generations. In this video, I wanted to discuss one of the more pervasive traits of American culture, and the culture shock of learning that no, this is not normal.

00:00 The Stanley Cup trend
01:56 The genius marketing
04:40 American culture and stereotypes
06:20 Anything can be sold in the USA
08:30 America is sick
09:00 The solution: travel and learn languages
