This is just for a giggle.

Apparently the foreigners coming for the World Cup have discovered Ranch Dressing and are trying to take it home. TSA is now advising travelers how to get their Ranch Dressing bottles home.

Hidden Valley makes a power you just add milk and mayo to that can put in a carry on. wink

These are easier to read.

Whoever is running this account needs a raise just for the entertainment purposes.

Huh? You can buy ranch dressing in the UK, why would you bring it from the US?

I saw it in Tesco this morning 🤦‍♀️

I now understand why it's on special offer in Tesco. I thought it was to do with the sun coming out after a wet start to the month but it's football.

I love Ranch Dressing but you don't always find it in our supermarkets. I've made it using the powder (which you can buy on line) and it works very well

Price perhaps?

I had an aunt who would fill her suitcase with peanut butter from the US to bring home.

It isn't that hard to make to be honest. I am sure that for some people, it is not standard and that is why they are agog over it right now.

Every time I go to Mexico, I buy vanilla to bring home. It is expensive here so we end up with vanilla flavored extract. And I have forgotten to put it in checked luggage and had it confiscated at customs. sad
