I am endlessly fascinated by our culture. Our food is often aggressively bad for you (McDonald's, Twinkies, etc.). We use red Solo cups at parties frequently enough they are associated with America. We put flags on lots of things that normally don't have flags (tshirts, cars, etc.). And our national bird (which I think is a pretty honest representation of our culture) takes shit that isn't theirs.
Edit: The Good Place summarized pretty well.
"In America, everyone does whatever they want, society did break down, it’s terrible, and it’s great! You only look out for number one, scream at whoever disagrees with you, there are no bees because they all died, and if you need surgery you just beg for money on the internet. It's the perfect system!"
