Netflix, Disney and Coca Cola top list of best exports from the USA
NETFLIX, Disney and Coca Cola have been voted the best things to ever come out of America – with Donald Trump comfortably topping the poll as the worst.
The TV streaming service was named the top US export by 38 per cent of the 2,000 Brits polled.
Mcdonald’s came fourth, ahead of iphone maker
Apple, Colonel Sanders’ KFC and former president Barack Obama.
Hollywood movies came eighth on the list, with Elvis Presley and NASA rounding out the top 10 best things to originate in the US.
After Trump, the other US flops included their “obsession” with guns, pumpkin pie – and the Kardashians.
A spokesperson from Lottoland.co.uk, which commissioned the research to highlight its US Jackpot giants duo, Powerball and Megamillions, said: “There is definitely great affection for the exports of the USA in this country, and it is true that no other country does it bigger or better. Much of it will come from the TV shows and movies we grew up with, which paints a picture of American life as being somehow more exciting or glamorous than the UK.
“Many of the things Brits love and use on a daily basis, including Netflix, Facebook or Levi’s jeans come from the States, so we wanted to celebrate them and introduce the UK to its lotteries which, like most things from the US, are much bigger than we’re used to.”
Other US exports to appear on the “best of” list include The Simpsons, Marvel and DC comicsand New Yorkstyle hot dogs.
But some things Brits wish had stayed on the other side of the pond were their confusing political system, calling football “soccer”– and Kanye West.
Another area UK adults think the US lags behind is in their sports, with 47% describing baseball or American football “too complicated”.
