They are ready to overpay for it.
Russians are so accustomed to certain products in retail chains that they are greatly surprised by the fact that it is impossible to find such goods abroad. Expats face similar frustrations.
The other day, the famous comedian Danila Poperechny, who lives in the USA, spoke about this. According to him, he was never able to find analogues of Russian mayonnaise in local stores. The sauce that is sold under this name in retail chains does not even remotely resemble the usual taste. That’s why I don’t want to buy it.
That is why Poperechny specially visits stores that have products from Russia. It’s just that you have to overpay for basic goods there. Therefore, mayonnaise in Los Angeles costs a comedian 1,300 rubles per pack. And when the comedian treated his foreign friends to Russian sauce, they were simply speechless.
“This is white gold. They said it was the most delicious mayonnaise they had ever eaten.” – noted Poperechny.
