This one surprisingly never came up for me. I long learned in grade school how "chips" there means "fries" in the US.

Reminds me of a company called Astraware... it's a UK company that used to make software for Palm OS devices, and also digitally sold them on their website. One day, they had something called "budget software". People were initially confused because they're known for games. Many Americans thought "budget software" was software that keeps track of finances, like checkbook, investments, individual money transactions, or like Quicken. It turns out, the idea was these were apps that were discounted. Several folks suggested that they use "bargain software" or "bargain bin" to avoid confusion with American customers.

I can't imagine enjoying cheesecake flavoured with turtle.
Would that be aquatic turtles or land-swelling tortoises?

That looks delicious! The next time that I visit the store guess what I'll be looking for.

We won't go until we get some. Is that a threat?

They didn't force rose hip syrup on you?

I'm not so sure about that distinction:

According to Wiki:
"In the United States and Canada, pudding characteristically denotes a sweet milk-based dessert similar in consistency to egg-based custards, instant custards or a mousse"

I've had banana pudding which was clearly a Johnny-come-lately version of a classic mousse. Just commercial and cheaper to make than a proper mousse which really needs to be fresh. I'm sure artificial mousses became all the rage when commercially-available desserts took off.
