A container of butter in the fridge that doesn’t have butter in it but salsa is very common in a latino household. Everytime you pass by a church, you make the sign of the cross, everytime you greet your family when coming into their home, it’s a kiss on the cheek for everyone, and there is always Vicks somewhere in the house to cure any ailment known to man. What other things do you only see in latino households? Let’s talk about it… #letstalkaboutit
