Fleccas Talks and Justin Awad recently collaborated on a video where Justin asked random strangers on the streets trivia questions. These questions ranged in topic from basic facts about Geography to the directions on a compass. These people appeared to be very young, possibly partygoers, around the age of 20 or so. One of the most basic questions was what two countries border the United States. Everyone was stumped, with the exception of a couple of people who at least mentioned Canada (but not Mexico for some odd reason). Some people would say that these types of videos are heavily edited and cherry-picked for shock value and clicks. Others will say that this is simply the education level of the average young person in the United States.
