Netizens Are Cracking Up Over TikTok Videos Of An American Woman Driving Her Italian Husband Nuts By Breaking Tacit Italian Customs

Interracial couples can be fun to watch. There are so many differences between each one's culture, traditions, and superstitions.

With such differences, some healthy teasing can also take place. It's even more interesting when one partner originates from a famous culture with an abundance of stereotypes.

Let's take Italians, for example. An American woman, Sarah Mollica, is married to her Italian husband, Carlo Longo.

They run a TikTok account where they prank and tease each other harmlessly. They started uploading videos back when they were boyfriend and girlfriend.

These days, the fun continues now that they're married. Hilarity ensues, especially since they're from different cultures.

What's more, millions of people are enjoying the laughs they provide. Let's look at some of their shenanigans, shall we?

The Italian fiancé was shocked upon hearing that the couple has plans on the day of the Euro 2020 Final.

Italians are not only enthusiastic about their food; the men, in particular, love watching football. As a country with a long history with the sport, their teams are consistently known as some of the best. They even won the European championship recently.

In this TikTok, Sarah pranks Carlo by telling him about their plans on the evening of the most awaited game, the finals of the European championships. With such an important sports event, Carlo had to nicely beg his fiancée to let him watch the game.

The Italian fiancé's reaction after his American fiancée broke the spaghetti.

This TikTok starts with Sarah asking if the spaghetti she holds would be enough for them. Then she snaps the bundle in half, rendering Carlo utterly shocked. He could not believe what he saw and was appalled that he had to eat it. You can see his dramatic reaction in the video, and he even tells his fiancée that breaking the pasta is illegal in his country.

The reason behind leaving the pasta long is that it enables you to twirl it on the fork when you eat. It's also less messy when you eat pasta in this manner.

Find out an Italian's reaction about pineapple on pizza.

Pineapple on pizza is an endless debate, and Italians even abhor such a topping. Surprisingly, Carlo is calm when his fiancée asks him about it.

He calmly tells her that it cannot be done in Italy. But even as he quietly explains, you'll notice that he's still his dramatic self.

If you do something like that, I can’t continue to live here. If somebody knows that you are my fiancée and here you ask for pineapple, I can’t live here.Carlo and Sarah

The Italian fiancé's reaction about an after-lunch cappuccino.

Italians have a habit of drinking cappuccino only during breakfast. The reason is that it's a heavy type of coffee with tons of calories coming from sugar and fatty milk.

So when Sarah asks her fiancé for a cappuccino after lunch, he could not believe his ears. And when she finally brings coconut milk for the coffee, Carlo goes nuts.

When the Italian fiancé sees his fiancée eating pasta chips.

TikTok users have probably seen the pasta chips trend on the platform. It's a three-step procedure that involves cooking the pasta, tossing it with olive oil and cheese, and then cooking it in an air fryer. The result is a crunchy snack.

So when Sarah shows her husband how she's cooking the pasta, Carlo's reaction is priceless. His jaw drops upon seeing that the pasta is being cooked in an air fryer.

When the fiancée dips French fries into the ice cream and eats it.

This funny TikTok hit 9.2 million views. It shows Sarah dipping French fries into the ice cream. And although what she's holding isn't a cup of gelato, Carlo is shocked nonetheless. He clearly doesn't approve of her way of eating and calls Sarah by her name instead of his usual terms of endearment.

Not twirling the spaghetti.

In this video, the family is having dinner with pasta as the main dish. Only one day after it was posted, it garnered 15.9 million views and 2.1 million likes.

Sarah wanted to see Carlo's reaction when she eats spaghetti without twirling the noodles around the fork. She picks it up and slurps it as if eating ramen.

Initially, her husband doesn't notice what she is doing. But when he finally does, he shakes his head in disbelief and explains the right way to eat pasta. He even goes so far as to apologize to the family for having to see such an unsightly way of eating spaghetti.

Ketchup on pasta and the Italian husband's reaction.

For Italians, ketchup on pasta is quite on the same level as pineapple on pizza. It's probably because this condiment is considered unhealthy and a low-quality product, as there aren't any tomatoes to be seen.

In this video, Sarah asks Carlo what he would do if she were to put the condiment on pasta. The Italian, of course, is disgusted after hearing it.

If you try to put ketchup on pasta, you will not eat for one year in my house.Carlo and Sarah

Carbonara with hot dogs.

In this TikTok, Sarah doesn't look as sneaky as in the other videos as she offers to cook carbonara. Carlo, who's unprepared for what's yet to come, is surprised but listens further anyway. Sarah states the ingredients one by one and finally mentions hot dogs. The Italian gets alarmed at the mention of the ingredient. He then jokes about calling the cops for such a crime and refuses the pasta dish with hot dogs as long as they're in Italy.

Chickpea pasta for the Italian family.

Chickpea pasta is the gluten-free equivalent of regular pasta. One serving contains twice the amount of protein, three times the fiber, and half of the net carbs that regular pasta has. Carlo stops Sarah as she attempts to prepare chickpea pasta for his family.

Carlo mentions that the chickpea pasta was particularly bought for her because nobody in the family eats it. Italians eat normal pasta, he adds, and explains that chickpeas are toppings, not integrated into the noodles. And while the pasta brand is Barilla, the Italian family still won't eat it.

Italians don't leave the house with wet hair.

Italians won't ever go out of the house with wet hair because they believe that a person will get sick, have indigestion, or suffer from a stiff neck. Sarah is aware of this concept, so she deliberately tells Carlo that she isn't feeling like blow-drying it at the moment. She adds that she will just let it dry outside.

Naturally, Carlo refuses Sarah's idea. He tries to convince her that going out with wet hair can give her a headache.

The Italian didn't like the idea of brushing teeth with a bidet.

Bidets are usually found in the bathrooms of Southern European countries, West Africa, and the Arab states. So it's typical for Carlo's bathroom to have one.

When Sarah says that she'll brush her teeth using the bidet, Carlo begins to argue that it's for cleaning the butt and threatens her that he won't kiss her again. Then he pulls her back to the sink.
