For a while Salmiakki Koskenkorva was my favorite liquor but then I found Rubarb Koskenkorva which is great with sparkling water.

Good taste! :D I've tried the normal one, the lemon one, and the raspberry one so far but not that. Do you use flavored sparkling water when you mix it?
Salmiakki/licorice and similar things like star anise taste the best in liquid form imo. Like in the Koskenkorva liqueur you mentioned and things like sambuca, ouzo, and absinthe. I don't mind salmiakki candy, both the regular and salty ones are fine, but it's not something that I like enough that I'd buy it myself

But I'm planning on making punch for a party that uses rhubarb kossu and maybe some soda. So then it'll be flavored water. But ngl I really liked it with plain sparkling water so that's my go to drink now even tho I discovetef it like 2 months ago. I've drunk like less than 5 times in my life and never got really drunk. Last time was very tipsy tho |

| Well. I am an American. I grew up lower–middle class, but my parents were frugal so we were never in need of anything. I went to one of the best colleges in the country (regularly in the top 10 of the U.S News & World Report, though in the tier that regularly gets tied with a bunch of others and thus sometimes is actually like 11th or something) thanks to some pretty good financial aid (though naturally, these top colleges started providing full tuition to people in my parents' income bracket soon after I graduated) and I stayed there for grad school in physics (though didn't get a PhD, mostly because my advisors kept leaving, and I finally followed one after he left for Israel, and that was awful). I give this background because it allows me to say the following: Being at a good college, especially for grad school, meant I met a lot of people from other countries, both students and professors. I've also lived in a foreign country (Israel) for a number of years, and made even more international connections and relationships. So I can say this: America owns all of you. We are better. We are better people. We are more honorable—and we are definitely smarter than you. We are definitely the least racist of peoples in the world. And because our universities still insist on distributional requirements (meaning you have to spend at least a little time on subjects outside your major), those of us who actually try, who care about our educations, end up with much broader understandings of reality. Thus, among the graduate students at least, it was clear that the Americans were the most sophisticated, and everyone else tended to be much more one-dimensional. (The Canadians I met were self-righteous, snobbish bullies who were particularly Neanderthal, having chosen astrophysics as their subfield.) So I suppose I am not like the standard American stereotype. But I think I do fit the American stereotype as far as academia goes: That of the military-industrial complex that dominates the planet. |

| how about 0%? i hate soccer / football with a passion, root against the national team of that "sport" (and i was sooooooooo happy when it did fail to qualify for two world cups in a row, with all its problems the basketball one attended the last same tournament and somehow arrived to the quarter finals at least). People killed each other for supporting different teams. What sucks even harder now, everything has become fanatics versus other fanatics in soccer / football style, including... especially... the disgusting politics. i hate everyone in that, including the left that i once supported. Stopped voting about a decade ago and won't apologize for it. i speak english fluently (even if it's sort of useless for human face to face interactions since i have actually never travelled outside the nation and don't even plan to), i'm not loud when speaking (probably more as a teen desperately trying to fit in and failing hard) and don't do hand gestures at all... it's annoying to both do and watch especially since i moved on my own 6+ months ago, i basically stopped eating pasta mostly because i'm too lazy to cook and need extra time to rest in bed before going to work in a pizza restaurant... yeah, here and there i bring home leftovers of it for dinner or lunch for the next day, but main reason is i don't want to waste food rarely drink coffee except for breakfast with milk and cookies, i prefer energy drinks i'm aware there was a old trope about owning one or two kind of scooters, but that was decades ago. i never even actually wanted (or could afford) to buy one, even if i was one of the very few teenagers in the early 2000's in my little town of 10000 inhabitants that didn't own a scooter (newer or older model) i basically listen to just one italian singer (Caparezza) and despise most of italian music, especially the current "stars"... i'm always quiet, major exceptions are in the past when i was attending metal concerts (Korn, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Godsmack...) more often, and i always wanted to enter mosh pits despite being a light weight at risk of injuries or losing glasses... and the other thing is when i had founded a firm to support my basketball team (from 2004 to 2011) and stayed sitting at the fence over the banners initiating chants with the fellow members, clapping, waving flags... i'm definitely NOT romantic, effusive and stuff. "latin lover"? LOL. Don't even dare to touch me. i'm ugly and you're not missing anything. |

| I found a reddit post, and I discovered that my country is well-known for Lots of showers. As I only take 1 to 3 per day. Not including right after gym and the 2 you need to take when you use a pool/beach. I think it does not apply. Oh, and we are well-known to steal soap and towels from hotels. I object to that, I always carry my own towels. |

| Stereotype: people are nice, they are good, they smile, they are cheerful, they are friendly, they are helpful. What you really get: people are fake. People are friendly today and look at you with disgust tomorrow. People are two-faced. People have a culture of gossip. People smile at you today and talk badly about you tomorrow. People try to make you look like a fool. People are dishonest, thieves. The list goes on. In summary. People are rotten. People are noisy. The concept of private space does not exist. Silence and order do not exist. People behave like baboons throwing feces in your face in the jungle. you mind your own business here and they hate you. |
| They say a lot of people from my state talk like gangsters, I guess we all do it unknowingly. O.O |

| No, definitely not. I don't just eat beer and pretzels. Believe me, I'm funny. I don't walk around in socks and sandals. I don't like hiking. |

I don't understand what difference this would make since I learned all the same things in high school. |

Oh, my hand almost shot up instinctively, but I don't have a heart, and you can't see the sun in this mist. A powerless slave of the reverse-colonizers - guess I'll go read some Kipling or something. So convenient he wrote in the Christ's language... PS: I want to ask: how much of America have you actually seen? Just curious, not trying to argue. |

| I don't really know what the stereotypes are. Like the foreign culture I know best is Japanese, in which it seems to be primarily about manners/class systems and drinking black tea, which is pretty much irrelevant to me. But I bet they've got completely different stereotypes in places like India where the British Empire ruled. |
