What is Scotland?" by Hilary MitchellBuzzFeed StaffFacebookPinterestTwitterMailLink 1 The incomprehensible wonders of Scottish Twitter Twitter: @daftnonsense / Twitter: @awwwnawmate / Twitter: @wittybarnes Scottish Twitter has just overtaken whisky as our most popular export. 2 Irn-Bru Twitter: @twitkorp First of all, it's not "soda", it's "juice". Secondly: please don't throw shade at Irn-Bru when your country invented root beer, aka fizzy Germolene. 3 Cheese-in-burgers Twitter: @taylalou 4 macaroni pies Twitter: @estellemaskame Seriously guys, you love mac n' cheese. Why don't you have these in the U.S.? 5 and our food in general Twitter: @tonofpendle Er, we don't deep fry everything, actually. Just pizza, burgers, Mars bars, chips, fish, sausages, king rib, haggis...um. 6 Takeaways that serve alcohol Twitter: @marykate_wolken What she doesn't realise is that we only order wine from a chippy if it's 9.55pm and we won't make it to the off licence in time. It's our fourth emergency service. 7 Getting wasted on trains Twitter: @Laurencain2 / Twitter: @http://Twitter.com/ lizhall349 / Twitter: @Rossybbzz There are literally 204,202 more of these tweets. Americans just don't understand why we treat Scotrail like a series of mobile pubs. 8 Letting dugs into pubs Twitter: @katie_pooch / Hilary Mitchell Apart from Scottish Twitter and Irn-Bru, pub dogs are our finest invention. 9 And rude pub quiz names Twitter: @therealwhitey1 In America, they call pub quizzes "trivia nights", and no one calls their teams things like "Quiz On My Tits." Shame. 10 Fancy-dress stag dos Twitter: @aktjan Most Ryanair flights from Scotland to Ibiza or Magaluf are 90% Super Marios. 11 Sunbathing in March and April Twitter: @tomcoronel / Twitter: @grungedevries OK, we know this is weird. We've got an extra-high tolerance for cold weather, and also a severe vitamin D shortage that affects our sense of judgement. 12 Well-fired rolls Twitter: @xangma Americans don't know the crunchy delight they're missing. All they have are bagels, hot dog buns, and soft, pale sub rolls that look like flaccid bread cocks. 13 Our batshit weather Twitter: @tashaa_barnes If you don't go out wearing sunglasses, shorts, wellies, and a winter coat, you're not Scottish. 14 Our TV shows Twitter: @stephosnacks Craiglang and Texas really are worlds apart. 15 Calling children weans Twitter: @FOBulousstump It must cause a lot of confusion all round. "That's my Wayne." "But she's a girl". 16 Our national animal Pixabay/ Creative Commons / Twitter: @hollyechristian No one said national animals had to be real. 17 And last but not least our sweeties Twitter: @basedyuna Twitter: @tilds_wilson Twitter: @muddycreeku Hmmm, taking the piss out of "granny sookers" and "horehound rock" is a bit rich coming from a country that invented chocolate nips, frankly.
