Totally Mental British Headlines From Across the Pond

Random Memes With Vaguely British Themes
I’m currently on the Americans vs. Europeans side of TikTok, and it is fascinating. Every time a European (usually a British person) tries to dunk on Americans for being stupid, the most well-spoken American on God’s green earth puts them in their place.

‘I’m converting all of Scotland!’: American tourist convinces local Scots in small town pub to try the iconic ‘Pickle Back’ shot, they love it
If you love pickles, then you HAVE to try a pickle back shot. (If you haven’t already.) It’s simple: You take a shot of whiskey and then chase it with a shot of pickle juice. Somehow the two flavors compliment each other beautifully and it’s a scrumptious way to get hella litty. This has been …

Funniest Tweets About a Head of Lettuce Outlasting Liz Truss as Prime Minister
It’s been a wild couple of months in the UK, to say the least. British people got a new Prime Minister, they lost a queen, they got a new king, they did a bunch of mourning, and finally, the brand spanking new 47-year-old Prime Minister resigned in disgrace, all in a period of under 50 …
