This reminds me when I was a teenager (back in the 90s), we had a constant stream of new missionaries for my church coming in from the US.

We were out for lunch with the new missionaries at a burger place and they were surprised to see we only had ketchup and vinegar packets available for the fries.  They both asked for mayo packets and the person behind the counter said that they don't have mayo in packets, but was happy to give them some in a small cup.

I'd never really seem someone dip their fries in mayo before that day and one of the missionaries was kind of repulsed that I was putting vinegar on my fries.  He was the same one who thought we were playing a prank on him when he saw that our milk comes in bags.
