I'm having a hard time.
American when the metric tonne of Reese's peanutbutter cups, caramel chocolate chip...streusel?, and oreo cookies...falls?
They'd cry even harder if it contained a metric anything.
True, as an American and when I'm crying on the floor like this, I like to measure my pain in freedom units thank you
I think in this context "the ice" means the ice cream
Yep ice cream is just Eis in German, even if the default is Eiscreme meaning at least 10% milkfat content or even Cremeeis meaning 50% milk, no added water, as well as egg. Frozen custard. It's just that noone cares what exactly you're going to order when asking "wanna go eat some ice"?
Fun fact: A felt 99% of ice cream parlours in Germany are called "Venezia" or "Dolomiti" or "Rialto", which is a quarter of Venice. Because that's where the founders were from. It's a fascinating natural phenomenon, flocks of ice cream makers migrating north in early spring and back home late autumn.
And this is the Land of Chocolate leveling this accusation????
It’s a reference from a Simpsons episode
This person gets it.
He’s thinking of the cake.
Which has nothing to do with Germany and is named after American chocolate maker Samuel German.
Can I tag #til? I knew it most likely wasn’t German, but I didn’t know it was just named after a guy!
Americans when their ice doesn't contain...
... cum
Muh cumstitutional rights!
I scream, you scream, we all scream in America.
