America - is this true?

Postby GrahamB on Fri Dec 08, 2023 10:40 am

I'm being told that you can't buy pre-packaged sandwiches in shops/supermarkets in the USA. Is this true?

The link gave a permission error, but in general, one can buy all the pre-packaged sandwiches they could ever want here in good ol' 'Merica.

OK, I was lied to. They will be dealt with...

What about caterpillar cakes - can you buy these off the shelf without having them made up special?

I mean... that's just a brand. We've got literally hundreds of types of cakes, and they are all garbage.

Can you get cookiepuss?

What about Doritos bath bombs?

WTF? Cookiepuss is the stuff of nightmares!

Is it true that there is a whole aisle dedicated to barbecue sauce? And are you guys really obsessed with applesauce (all one word)?

(These are things my wife learns from TikTok).

Just a few shelves of barbecue sauce, not a whole aisle. Keep in mind some of our aisles are as big as your counties.

As for applesauce, I mean, I'm sure someone is, but I wouldn't say it's a thing...

In Texas (Central Texas style is the best USA style BBQ IMHO --- probably 5 opinions for every 1 RSF commenter, though), they probably have aisles of barbecue sauce

If you can make a buck hawkin it to a fat kid, you can get it at one of our stores.

That's actually a legit slogan from a grocery chain.

No. We're fat self-entitled assholes, not hobbits. You'd have to check in with the Kiwis about those...
