coreofsoul 1,554 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 These responses are from the Japanese website Girls Channel. I thought they were interesting, so I wanted to share. I translated some of the most upvoted responses (within the top 100 responses). The ones about cake were funny. As a sugar-loving American, I thought Japanese cake wasn't sweet enough. I never heard anyone say #12 or #26 in real life though lol Edit: I added a few more that have more upvotes now. http://girlschannel.net/topics/366728/ Things in the US 1.

Gloupipoo 1,619 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Historically correct* I simply find it ironic that they remember harm done to them but not harm done to others In a sense it is very similar to the USA. I remember when the nuclear plant and the tsunami happened, americans kept commenting "that's payback for Pearl Harbor" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Phoenix 105 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 12) and 26) are not what "people think" - they come from a government reclassification of those items in the school lunch program that got a lot of media attention a few years back. 18) and 23) are unfortunately true, as are many of the other food-related items. 45) and 46) are Communist propaganda memes, being relentlessly pushed in the media these days by those on the Left who desire to eliminate state and local police and replace them with a powerful Federal Police force.
