My town is famous for having the first Gaol (Jail) in England, getting pillaged by Scotsmen, and being the birthplace of musician and all round asshole Pete Doherty. Sorry. We've got a nice Abby and a Tesco Extra so it's not all bad.

Try and guess where I'm from.

The Netherlands!
Famous for Gouda cheese,
clogs,
tulips (even though they're actually from Turkey),
mills,
average height is the highest of world,
and I guess the fact that weed's legal.

Hurray! We have the best Taco Bell restaurants.

And these. 3 liter goodness!
Funny story: I brought this to school once, and a group of guys all gave me a handshake and told me I was a true American Hero.
I have one of those sitting in my bedroom! They're ridiculous but awesome.
I concur. In fact, I think I'm going to fill mine up right now. They cost $1.69 for refills at the Minute Market three blocks away.
Delaware, we have no sales tax?

My hometown's slogan, as in it's on our tourism t-shirts at the welcome center:

"Our crackwhores can beat up your crackwhores."

But that doesn't matter does it? The question is what is Germany famous for, and the answer is having Hitler as ruler.

Ireland is famous for it's writters, it's awful weather(when the Romans discovered it they simply named it "winter" and left it well alone), Guiness, U2, Thin Lizzy, Leprachauns, drunken billigernece and being very Catholic.
If Ireland were a flavour I think it would be a sort of musky, salty thing, sometimes it tastes okay, sometimes it makes you gag.

Sweden is famous for IKEA, beautiful blondes, being completely neutral, meatballs, ABBA, Pippi long stockings, being mind numbingly organized and the Nobel prize.
If Sweden were a flavour I think it would be sort of bland, tastes fine enough, never really bad, just a little dull.

Ireland so basicly Guinnes U2 the US Navy Leprechauns Guerilla Warfare and 95% of anything Britain claims to be famous for.
High five! I was going to say Guinness and terrorism, but U2 goes in there as well. Don't forget Leprechauns, potatoes and 200+ days of rain per year!
