since a few years all the european borders are gone and people are free to travel and work within the eu when you have a european pasport.now every country has his customs, products or events that are tipical for that country. we drink belgium beer, eat frenchsticks and smoke dutch weed.but what can we call tipical european ? what can we buy on the whole continent or what do we europeans have in commen (bside our dislike of the us or the eurovision song contest)?I believe these are a few.

not sure we hate the US, just their dumber politicians, and same can be said for all the world's dumber politicians. Personally, I love America!
Typically European: a disdain for the rest of the world
an over-inflated sense of importance
Romany gypsies
Snickers (the UK was iconoclast with the name "Marathon" until the 90s)
M&Ms
Skittles
Lynx deoderant (although it's called "Axe" on the continent)
Colgate toothpaste.
Guinness (although I did manage to get Newcastle Brown in Caesars Palace)

kinda sad that the first thing that popped into your mind for european icons were two corporate processed foods.
But you can do all those at the same time in Alabama.
cheese? yes
bordeaux? croissant? no, no thanks!
So the uniting factor in Europe is....American products?
hm... nothing, really! except real beer and good cheese.
moter scooters
summer festivals celebrating traditional foods
(sagra del fagiolo, for example)
hairy legs!!!
body odor!!!!!
hairy legs? body odor? where have you been then? italy? turkey? spain? please to check smooth male scandinavian legs.
As I'm English, I don't I really feel that European, (a little Welsh at times maybe). Not sure what you want out of this thread? Things that unite us? well maybe football & fascism. 'European Icons' I wouldn't have a clue, is there such a thing?
fascism??? where do you live again???
maybe we need a president ?
colonialism
ace of base
licorice
and of course
I'm hoping something was lost in translation.
Hey, just like the U.S.A.!
no. this is soulstrut! get familiar!
Historically speaking.
Although you wil find a fair amount of racism / sectarianism / xenophobia / even fascism, in a many football grounds throughout Europe. The Italians and Spanish love a bit of fascism.
