Wooden shoes aren't a familiar sight in the city anymore, but really, if you go look at farms, and 'stadstuintjes' outside the city, at campings, at building sites they're used all the time!
In our theatre, we always hear customers talking about the movie at the bar of course, and now with 'Alexander' playing we hear a lot of 'why don't these two don't go have sex already?' and 'but it's all right to show all the gore of war...' usually concluded with 'typically American'.
We do hear complaining about an overload of sex/nudity in Dutch movies also, so that's the other side of the coin. Usually the complaint is that it's 'non-functional'
I think Nutella is known as the brand name (almost as if that's what the stuff is called) almost everywhere. I know they know it in Australia, and I think they also do in America and in most (if not everywhere) in Europe. Don't know about Asia & Africa.
