Anyone in doubt that US vs. UK and the other colonies are very, very different countries need not consider "lemonade" (Sprite) or Marmite. Just order breakfast

Just order breakfast with toast. Anywhere except the US, the toast will come out on a "cooling rack". They actually want their toast cold! I have never found any hint why anyone would want this, but I did read an Ian Fleming short story in which James Bond, while in New York on (IIRC?) a personal vendetta to gun down some Cubans upstate, complains that his toast is delivered "damp".
While I am here, fair warning: if you are in Boston and order a milkshake, you will absolutely not get anything even slightly resembling a proper milkshake. You have to ask for a "cabinet". I am not joking.
