May-OH-naise
Mayonnaise, it may not stir excitement in many minds. It doesn't really do much for me. But when I spied the expiration date on the side of my Kraft Mayo with Olive Oil, my heart leapt. Not because I realized that I had been spreading spoiled sauce on my sandwiches, but because I could keep spreading mayo from this container until 16 March 2010!!!
I am so accustomed to buying my condiments with maybe a week or two to spare, and that's if there was a date! That's just what was available, and I dealt with it. But now that I don't have to, I feel luxurious. I feel privileged. I feel like I'm back in the States. It's the little things, really.

What was the biggest reverse culture shock for you?
Um, just how new everything was! And how nice and shiny everyone's cars were, and the cleanliness and being able to communicate with everyone! I would dread and dread and then gear up to call the utilities office here in rexburg and then go, Why? They speak english! (usually)
Yeah, I just had some mayo a couple days ago and debated whether or not I'd get sick. The last time I had it I got uber sick. My mind raced as I convinced myself I wouldn't get sick.
I miss expiration dates. I miss preservatives
