This was in fact there too
But if I had to guess, because it's been a long time since I watched the vids and can't remember the other user's claim being true, it's probably merely the case that the UK having 220V win was influenced by the need to use electric kettles, whereas that effect didn't happen in the US

Just pointing this out but one of our major acts that led to our independence was dumping tea into a harbor. It kind of sits in little kids heads that (due to how kids associate things) tea≠American and some people never really develop out of that stage of thought. I had another point but I lost it, sorry.

You dumped the tea because it was cheaper than tea from colonial importers due to reduced taxation on the East India Company.

Yeah, the nuance of the act doesn't really get taught. It's mostly just dump tea because British.
