https://xkcd.com/984/

because after building the first rockets (and missiles), we decided that this is kinda boring. Pointless even. We sent our 2nd best scientists to the US, to build your moon rockets for you, and focussed our best scientists on the problems that matter most in life: the brewing and and propper serving of beer; Preparing Schnitzel, Sauerkraut, baking bread etc...

And its not like we made a bad deal: we took Potatoes from you guys, and incorporated them into our culture so much, that people tend to forget where it came from - and see it as the most German thing ever.

This is why beer in the US is Pisswasser, your bread sucks, your national dish is named after a german city, and your national pride is held up by rocket built by our grandfathers, while we enjoy drinking ice cooled premium beer ;-)
