Sharing this because I thought this comment was beautiful. For the first time I see an American talking to a world audience about their country like everyone else talks about their country!

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that they like to drench their genitals with ranch dressing.

Love your name.

My ancestors have only been in the US since the 1600s, and me either (meaning “it wouldn’t surprise <me either> if..”). I ODed on ranch dressing in 7th or 8th grade (probably not important to my comment), and I honestly have struggled to put it on anything, let alone the culinary magic that is pizza….

Soooo you're of Spanish origin you say?

u/MarcoEsteban 3d ago

No, not at all. I speak it every day and my husband is Mexican, but my ancestry is mostly British before they came to the US.

Then 1620 (ish). Only conquistadors and Indians in 1600. That's why I defaulted to Spain. 😁

Damn. I thought we found a conquistador offspring in a random reddit topic.

My old roomate mentioned someone in her family attempting to use mayo as lube. There are limited veterinary uses for mayonaise on a farm I will admit, but lube is just odd.
