Comment on I'm in a hotel in America with no kettle in my room, if I want tea I have to microwave it.
truthfultemporarily@feddit.org 4 hours agoBecause of lower voltage in the US, total available power of a wall socket is lower. So kettles take forever.

Kettles are common in Japan despite having an even lower voltage than the US. So I think it’s mostly the latter.

There’s probably other differences too. Lack of KitKat flavor variants, for example.
