That just makes it the netherlands, but its understandable that americans dont know flags of other nations

Also, it doesn't make it the American flag in any way, so this person apparently doesn't know what any of those three flags look like.

You probably shouldn't be calling people dumbasses when you don't apparently understand the basics of punctuation.

This really doesn't help your case when it comes to questioning the intelligence of others.

Technically that's the UK based on the third column.

formalized size or colors?

Red, white, and blue are the colors of the American flag. (As many other countries, but we specifically refer to our colors in that order.) It didn't say the ice cream looked like an American flag. Yes, when it is displayed blue, white, and red it looks like a French flag. When rotated it goes red, white, and blue which Americans associate with our flag.

Also, it would have to be rotated a quarter turn to be Dutch: red on top, white in the middle, blue on the bottom. But I wouldn't expect you to know European flags
