Those wild high school parties at the popular kids house whilst their parents are out of town, you know them ones where there's about 500 kids show up all at once with beer kegs and red disposable cups, beer pong in the kitchen, some stoners on the couch, people having sex in the parents bedroom, everyone half naked in the pool, the popular girl gets her own slow motion entrance where the music changes and everyone looks in awe, an awesome DJ or sometimes even a live band. Them kinda parties just don't exist

So much this. There are a few houses near where I used to live that had 3 houses with front covered verandas that would have been perfect for this.

Phones with enormously long cords so I could walk around while talking on it or (even better!) talk in the privacy of my bedroom rather than in the lounge with everyone listening in and shushing me because they were trying to watch the telly.

Most American kids seemed to take their phones out onto their roofs which they frequently used to sneak out at night for late night parties/secret missions.

Pizzas the size of dustbin lids.

A large pizza over here is probably a medium in the US.

And Hot Dog vendors on every street corner (NY style)

So quiet in fact, that the driver can turn and talk to the passenger for a full minute without having their eyes on the road

I liked those never ending Midwest roads where they'd drive forever without seeing another vehicle. Would be lovely to drive down the M1 like that...
