Is it a fact that Americans rub Lard into their skin instead of sun tan lotion just to get that full feeling when they are out sunbathing?

Yes, it is true. I think it is due to confusion over the term "crisps" because in the USA crisps are called "chips" and Americans want to imitate the best of the UK!

Speaking as an American, I feel a little more qualified to answer this one: There is a rumor passed about that if you rub lard or butter or something similar, that you can get a tan faster, but anyone dumb enough to believe it is benificial in any way deserves your ridicule- American or other. I personally haven't heard anyone say anything like that in over 25 years....

Not a clue, but I've personally known girls who rub cooking oil into their skin for sun bathing to get a better tan!

I am American and I have never heard of such foolishness, although it seems Kramer did something similar on "Seinfeld."
I suspect that instead of this ridiculous "fact" demonstrating the gluttony of Americans, it is proof of the rest of the world's gullibility.

I'm an American. I wouldn't say such things about you. Why can't you play nice and use good manners?

Really? I have never heard of that one! I will have to try it, although not much sun outside at the moment just snow!

That's a new one for me, I couldn't imagine putting that nasty stuff on my skin. Nor could I imagine eating it or cooking with it.
I'm an American.

Some people are actually crazy enough that they do use things like crisco.
