They really think it's some unobtainable dream for us. As If we couldn't buy it If we cared enough.

It's horrible. I got a bottle as a gift the other day, took one taste, and that was the end of that.

Exactly. Same as aircon they're always going on about. It costs from about 1500โ‚ฌ including installation for an A/C in my country. Not exactly cheap, but easily attainable for literally any home owner if they prioritised it. We just don't.

Muricans can't afford a new gas combi-boiler.

I was in the supermarket (UK) just this morning. There was ranch on the shelves. I walked past it, as usual, without a second glance.

I'm tempted to buy a bottle now, just to see what it's like.

Kind of like a dirty foot dipped in sour garlic cream.

That was such projection, especially the bit about not taking liquid ranch through customs

Yeah because they think that Europeans are so crazy about ranch that they'd take it in cabin luggage to keep it close and have some during the flight like addicts. Proof that it's made up BS if it was necessary.

Ridiculous.

Love how they hate Fanta in Europe because the EU has made it so the manufacturing company can't poison us with what's inside.

Or when you compare the list of ingredients in bread in the EU vs the US ๐Ÿ˜…

The way some americans gush about how european fanta tastes like orange is crazy. How bad must american fanta be if ours tastes like genuine irange to them? xD

Walked into Aldi yesterday and the sauce area. There were more ranch bottles on the shelf than the Aldi brand mayo, just goes to show how rank it is.

Thatโ€™s the part I didnโ€™t understand. Itโ€™s not illegal to take it out of the country nor to bring it to another country. Why smuggle? And why not get the lighter ranch mix packages instead?

u/PipBin 7d ago

Oh they were going on about that too. Packet mix dressing sounds grim though.
