Y'all...

Y'all... I am on this expat American in Australia forum and there is this thread of stuff people desperately want their families to bring to Christmas and I am deceased - the comment section is mostly:

- Ranch Seasoning
- Pumpkin Pie Seasoning
- OTC meds that are clearly available under other names in Australia, like Guaifenesin and Bacitracin
- American Ketchup and A1 sauce
- Hershey's Candy

Is this really, really who we are? Really?

I do understand the girl scout cookies. That one is fair.

@hacks4pancakes One of my most vivid memories from being a kid in Cairo in the early '80s was the absolute electric thrill that would run through the entire American community there when word went out that the embassy commissary had gotten a shipment of Steak-Umms

@jalefkowit @hacks4pancakes I have lived in the US my entire life, and this is the first I have heard of Steak-Umms. And now, having googled it, I have to say it does not look promising.

@obot50549535 @hacks4pancakes It’s not! They’re terrible!
