Honestly, I have no clue. I'm so uninterested in my own country.
I will note that people are undeservedly snobbish. Doesn't matter what socioeconomic status they fit, or any other background criteria, their heads are so far up their damn asses. [tip of the iceberg, rant]
I hate my fellow Australians.

We're in dairy country so, uh, dairy stuff.
We tend to have a Princess or Queen for just about every local annual event, no matter how small. I think that's probably prevalent around much of the country, mostly in rural areas.
Brandy-7, Korbel and 7, CB and 7: Brandy and 7-Up.
Elongated / mangled Os. Boat is "bowut", spoon is "spoowun".
Re: New Mexico - got a sister and b-i-l down there, around Alamogordo. Whenever they come up we insist they bring at least a couple bottles of chile wine. Good stuff. That's some rugged territory but quite beautiful in its own way.

It's hard to judge which custom is strange, but I guess in Brazil people tend to value their personal hygiene:
- People take at least one shower per day, very often more than one.
- People always brush their teeth after a meal, to the point of bringing toothbrushes to work/college. It's common to see people in the bathrooms brushing their teeth after lunch.
- It's considered impolite to blow your nose in public, people tend to go to the bathroom to do that.
- People never touch their food with their hands, they always use a napkin if they need to grab it. It's not uncommon to eat pizza with a fork and knife.
This is just in general, of course, there will always be people who don't do these things.

I love that stuff.
I've been told that the best way to make it is with U-Bet chocolate syrup. Are the legends true?
No, because I am a wise man without a history of suicidal tendencies.

Just because it sounds strange too YOU doesn't mean it is suicidal. You know, this could be seen as a wee bit offensive ;)
But give it really a try if you have a chance. Even just to be able to say afterwards, yes I did it;)

Offering German food despite that the local food is great/good?
Offering German beer.....ok bad example ;)
Offering German DAILY newspapers.
And some other stuff. Pisses me off, If I go to another country, I don't do it to have my food there but the normal local food.

America obviously has the occasional German food and drink available, particularly during Oktoberfest, but nothing big. I mean, we have about a hundred other different cultures here as well.
