America Is The Butt Of A Lot Of Jokes, But What Are Some Things You Really, Really Love About American Culture?

It's not a secret that America is the butt of many jokes. People love to make fun of our huge portion sizes, how we make our tea, our heavy reliance on cars, our politicians (fair), our desire to fry anything and everything, and, among many more things, our lack of free healthcare (also fair). But even though it's so easy to hate on America, what are some things you actually like about American culture? Maybe even...love?

Maybe you love the sports culture in America — tailgates, Super Bowl parties, foam fingers, nights at the baseball field, fantasy football.

Maybe you love the diversity and how easy and accessible it is to experience different cultures and try different foods.

Maybe you love that America is ~quirky~ because it refuses to abide by the metric system.

Or perhaps you just love the general friendliness of Americans — complimenting strangers, exchanging polite smiles in passing, small talk while waiting in line, lending a helping hand.

Whether you've lived in the US your whole life, you moved to America from another country, or even if you just visited, whatever you love about America and American culture, I want to know. Heck, even if you've never been to America, I want to know what you think. And of course, the more details, the better!
