Did you know that there are now more Americans who’d rather live without sex than live without their mobile phones? It’s ridiculous, but today 44% of Americans sleep with their phones (58% prefer sleeping with pets!), and only 20% of them can’t imagine their lives without sex.
The most recent scientific studies were used to gather these and many more weird habits of Americans to create the infographic below that shows that America, though powerful and proud, has its own share of oddities and quirks too. Who else would:
- Measure economic downturn with the rise of lipstick sales?
- Be unsure if a night out with a girl they like was a date or not?
- Use Waffle House opening hours to measure storm severity?
- Ever think that doing taxes is easier than eating healthy?
