I think it said their tax is already figured in. They just
added a tax on bowling here. I always thought that was
already figured in the price. Surprised they don't tax water out

The one that stands out for me is the advertising of prescription drugs.  A while back I bought a Newsweek magazine and it seemed like 3/4 of the ads were for prescription drugs, always followed by an entire page of warnings about the drug.  Our prescriptions are all included in our health care here...there is nothing to choose.

The toplessness on beaches is a red herring.  There are certainly places where nudity is accepted, and nobody bats an eye if a woman goes topless while sunbathing (they almost always cover up to stand up and go in the water), but I would guess the number of topless women at a typical beach in Europe to be around 2-3%.

Nothing wrong with showing your flag, not enough of it here.
Certainly nothing wrong with Imperial measurement.
That'd be too much ice for me, 1 or 2 lumps is plenty for me.
