British people have horrible teeth??!!?

Question

I think some people took Austin Powers to seriously lol

Its asking whether you think British people have horrible teeth...I didnt think it would be that difficult to understand

hmmm I wonder why some people got it and others didnt

Answer 1

Judge NOT.. least you be judged.

Answer 2

Its a stereo type that has perpetuated over the last 200 or so years because people like to make fun of the British. It originated because the British being the wealth world controlling nation they where had access to sugar which they would eat excessively, where as other peoples including the people producing the sugar had no access to sugar, which as we all know cause major tooth decay. For instance, the children of the prisoners and guards who were sent to Australia all had perfectly white teeth where as their parents did not, simply because there was no sugar cane on the continent. Austin Powers having bad teeth is just an exaggeration like every other joke in that movie.

Answer 3

It was a fad in the 1950s. I was born in Scotland and I know that not all British people have horrible teeth. It's just a stereo-type that Austin Powers made larger.

Answer 4

I think it's because a lot of American's take extra special care of there teeth, use whittener more than we do and will have braces to correct much smaller problems than we would. As for the beer they may be refering to Bitter which we are famous for which is often served at room temperature. And many pubs really can't pour pints (of lager) over here, so we end up drinking horrible warm flat pints for far too much money. American lager is shite though - it tastes too weak

Answer 5

Jolly ho. English man here (no really!)
Just before i toodle pip down to watch the good old tennis i would like to comment that all of my teeth are fine and in jolly good working order.
by the way i was having a good old natter to the queen the other day and her royal highness thinks Austin Powers was had too many American full of the sense of their own importance poncing around like a bunch of twats. Some had nice arses.

Answer 6

As Americans we have access to great things such as health and dental insurance which many countries do not have.

Dental and medical health is very expensive overseas and many employers do not offer such benefits to their employees.

Since it is so expensive to have dental work, also considder the fact that the cost of living is twice as expensive (or more) as it is here, it is pretty hard to maintain healthy teeth.

Answer 7

you are dead on - i know this guy who is a multi millionair but he looks like he lives at the dump because of his teeth-
I mean they are sooooo into being proper and having a stiff upper lip (wait maybe thats why they have funny teeth to keep a stiff upper lip)

Maybe they need those teeth to sound like they've have a pole up their butt - but in reality they sound that way because their ugly teeth - oh thank you for helping me discover this hidden secret
