49 Surprising Differences This American Noticed About Switzerland
We’re Americans living in Europe, and during our trip to Switzerland, we couldn’t help but notice 49 things that felt completely different from life in the U.S.! From robotic toasters and church bells ringing all night to watch shops on every corner and hotel apples at check-in, this list covers the quirky, the clever, and the uniquely Swiss.
In this video, Chris shares the full list—ranging from public bathroom surprises (yes, there’s Ricola!) to trying new snacks and Swiss-made sodas—while Melissa reacts in real-time. It’s part travel vlog, part cultural observation, and part food-tasting fun.
🇨🇭 Some highlights include:
Watch shops galore
Do hotel coasters really need to be leather?
Waffles at Starbucks?!
Trying Torino chocolate & mysterious ladybug treats
