As a in Germany living dude I always though, that paprika chips is a world wide standard type like "salted", but okay :D

"Its so weird that they have alcohol just sitting there in super markets. You know kids could see it, right?" said some American whilst walking through the gun section together with their 4-year old.

Selling items by metric measurements isn't really a weird thing. It's like saying the prices are not in dollars.

Only the long-life milk (Haltbarmilch) is not refrigerated. Fresh milk is always refrigerated. 😘 nice vid as always

'Milk is measured in liters, not gallons' - like in 90% of the world?

@potatophil 4 years ago

Never thought any of those would be strange to other people. :D

If anybody's worried, paprika chips are usually not spicy at all even though they have a big pepper on the package. Unless labeled otherwise, it's just a mild flavor to liven up plain potato chips.

I'm from Ukraine, and we also have paprika chips. I love them! Never thought it would be weird for someone. I always assumed it was a "default" flavor.

The reason why milk at Aldi,Lidl etc is outside the refrigerator is that it is long-life milk

Those products are totally normal not only in Germany. We also have it in Poland.😊

Quark is also very common in eastern European cuisine. It's only weird to North Americans

Egg refrigeration is only necessary in the US because they remove the outer coating from powerful washing to get rid of Salmonella instead of leaving the protective coating on which can also prevent Salmonella but since it is impossible to tell if it is infected or not they want to do the powerful washing instead and just have us refrigerate. Also, in Europe they might mandate vaccines of hens.

My mother was Ashkenazi Jewish and my grandparents were from Austria-Poland and Ukraine. I grew up eating things like kielbasa and sauerkraut and pierogies. My grandfather used to make chicken cutlet schnitzel in olive oil. I'm used to a lot of German Austrian food. An ex boyfriend of mine used to make my kosher franks with goulash and homemade big soft pretzels. I love the paprika chips, I get them in the European store. They remind me of chicken paprikash.
My husband is Scottish and they don't refrigerate eggs over there. We get our eggs at a free range farm right outside the city, so they don't have to be refrigerated. We also milk a cow and goat for fresh milk.

I'm sorry, not trying to be a hater here, but having things expressed in metric system and not gallons is the rule everywhere except by you guys. I come from Ecuador and the only wired stuff in Germany was the possibility of taking bottles out of their sixpack and returning them for the Pfand. The rest looks like a normal supermarket in any other place in the world....having fish on a jar or eggs not being refrigerated is not weird... The weird thing is wasting energy on cooling stuff that don't need to be cooled.

At children's birthday parties, it was also popular back then to have a Dickmann's eating contest. You would put a Dickmann's on your plate, put your hands behind your back, and whoever ate theirs first was the winner. It was always a huge mess, but we loved it as kids!

It's not just German thing, it's all over the Europe

Love the paprika chips, the erdnuss flips, the Ritter Sport bars, curry wurst...it's a wonder I didn't gain a thousand pounds in Germany. Got hooked on salami instead of pepperoni on my pizza there as well.

I remember that 15 years ago Penny and other discounters forced the costumers to buy whole packages of bottles and forbid the purchase of single bottles. It did not work and everyone tried to buy single bottles that they gave up on it. The sales of drinks crashed in that period.

Having lived in Germany as a kid I can confirm that curry ketchup is sooooo much better than the tomato ketchup sauce you may find in the USA uk or Canada. It’s that delicious 😋
