11 very important gifts America gave to Ireland
IT’S THE FOURTH of July, the day America saved the world from aliens. Let us give thanks.
Not only for saving the world, but also these important things…
1. Barack Obama Plaza
The best thing to happen to Monegall, bar none.
2. Bumbag-wearing tourists
So friendly, so lovely, so willing to completely disregard our insistence that St Patty’s Day is not a thing.
3. USA Biscuits
OK so they’re not actually from the USA but we like to think they are when whipping them out at Christmas like the glam bitches we are.
4. Decent TV
Would you have wanted to watch endless re-runs of Fair City and Glenroe instead of Sabrina and Friends? No, no you wouldn’t.
5. For making our chocolate look amazing
Cadburys > Hersheys every damn time.
6. Places to go for our J1
Learn a new language? NO THANKS, let’s go to America!
7. Mortifying clothing trends
Remember when every Irish teen was obsessed with Abercrombie and Hollister? Dark times.
8. Burgers
They’re American not German, OK, and they’re delicious. Would Eddie Rocket’s have existed without America? Probably not.
9. The word ‘Like’
How would people from South Dublin ever punctuate their speech? Like, oh my God.
10. Perspective
It could be worse!
11. Finally, they gave us utter, utter confusion on social media

MOTHER’S DAY WAS A MONTH AGO, NOOO.
The relief when you find out it’s JUST in American, that my friends, is the gift.
