What It Takes To Be American

I have a friend named Kim who just recently came to the United States from South Korea. There are a lot of interesting things about this guy, the first of which is that he's a genius. He knows a lot about his country's politics, economy and social structure, and more about America than most Americans (which is to say, he at least knows who the Vice President is).

A couple days ago, Kim said the following...

"I have the addiction. I can't stop drinking Dr. Pepper."

I think that Kim is an American now.
