'Weird Habits of Americans' is an infographic that depicts American habits. You may be thinking up all the American stereotypes, but this chart lists unpredictable facts. Personal finance website FinancesOnline.com created the lengthy chart, and it is full of comical quirks.
The infographic definitely proves how technology-dependant our world has become: it states that 26% of Americans claim that they cannot live without their smartphone, while only 20% say they cannot live without sex. Other weird examples include the fact that $7.5 billion is spent a year on greeting cards and many predict an economic downturn based on lipstick prices. More obvious stats describe how singles are unsure of their dating status with a significant other and how more people live on their own now in comparison to 1970.
