TSA’s Latest Hysterical Warning For World Cup Travelers is Pure Americana

World Cup fans are loving their time in the United States so far. But, TSA has some advice for the long road home.

On social media, the Transportation Security Administration wanted to let folks know that certain items aren’t going to fly when you hit those airport doors. For example, if you discovered Ranch dressing in the United States, you’re going to have to be smart to get it back home.

Their post is doing numbers all over various platforms and group chats across the Internet. Everyone has been sharing these amazing stories of different travelers experiencing what North America has to offer in real time.

 And sometimes, that’s the glory of Ranch dressing. To let TSA tell it, “One World. One Ranch. Who knew dip-lomacy could be achieved through addressing the obvious: ranch is the king of condiments. The world is slowly discovering ranch pairs perfectly with pizza, chicken wings, fries, onion rings, quesadillas, crackers, chips, vegetables, and the list just keeps growing.”

“Are you kicking around the idea of flying home with your favorite dip?,” the official account continued. “If you’re traveling within the U.S., make sure to keep your carry-on sauces to 3.4oz or less and place any larger containers in your checked bags. Some heroes wear capes. Others bring ranch.” 

Truly one of the highlights of this World Cup has been hearing stories like this from across the continent. Maybe there’s hope for all of us yet?

TSA Warns Travelers About Ranch

In other corners of our world, there are different rules in an airport. But, in the United States, that 3.4 oz rule is not a suggestion. Anyone who’s stood in a line to get through TSA has seen someone frantically trying to house a beverage.

Or had the displeasure of watching an expensive bottle of liquid get poured into a safety grate right before your eyes. Sometimes TSA giveth, and other times, they taketh away!

But, for anyone out there who became enamored enough with Ranch dressing to try and smuggle it home? A word of warning, take the precautions they’re trying to toss your way seriously. It will make the return journey a piece of cake.

I mean, there’s always the possibility that you could import some Ranch if the mood strikes you. It might cost more than you would expect. But, isn’t that the cost of happiness? On second thought, don’t answer that!

 The longer people are visiting for the World Cup, the more of these hysterical stories you’re gonna get. Just this week we’ve seen German people getting their entire lives inside of a Waffle House, a Japanese man tasting Texas style barbecue for the first time, and a French guy who thinks that the United States’ best contribution to the world is air conditioning.

Ranch-lovers, never fear! If you meet a travel buddy in America, maybe if you ask nicely, they can mail you some of that magical dressing? Or at least, you’ll have one heck of a story to tell when you arrive home.

Who said the World Cup wouldn’t have any surprises?
