In Thailand I figured out that the little single-serve containers with a picture of a cow on the front contained milk, but I was stumped by the single-serve containers next to them that had a picture of a cat. Cat's milk? Surely not.....? Turns out it was soy milk, though how people made the jump from cat to soy is beyond me.

Groceries
How fascinating!! I’d be the same way, wondering through the grocery store. It’s so interesting what is considered “usual” in other countries. And I use Batiste!! It is amazing, love that stuff!!! ?
