Emily in Paris is a popular show about an American girl from Chicago, making her way through life as a social media marketer in Paris. But while she struggles to navigate the dating world in France, it seems like French girls in real life are having no such problems in the United States, especially when pickup trucks are involved.


A TikTok from the account songsbynoe shows a French woman’s reaction to riding in the back of a pickup truck for the first time, and let’s just say it was love at first… cargo bed.


“I’ve only waited my whole life for this,” she captioned the video. “Core memory unlocked.”

Twitter picked up a screenshot of the TikTok, and many users felt prompted to share the basic American “”thing”” that had wowed their foreign friends and romantic partners. @uncledoomer also shared his disdain for “European men’s tiny European compact cars.”






Noe’s TikTok is full of short videos like this that could be interpreted as engagement bait, and there is nothing else on her page to confirm that she is actually French. Still, there are plenty of examples to prove that many Europeans are fascinated by the most basic examples of American excess.


But like @Bolverk15 points out, it goes both ways. “Don't tell this man what American women get up to when they vacation in Europe.”
