I read that Europeans here for the World Cup are crazy for ranch dressing. Seems odd that they don't already have it, given all the American junk food franchises over there.
They have our franchises but they aren't that popular for the most part. The American section of the grocery stores I've been to over there is like 1 shelf that's half full of candy and potato chips. And that section only exists in the larger stores.
Apparently the Japanese have discovered American food and have lost their goddamn minds. Those poor bastards.

Ranch dressing is basically sour cream and European culture is already high in sour cream, so
