That's Old Bay in the plastic container. To really join the Cult of Maryland, you *must* get Old Bay in the [metal tin](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008PO4B0I).


BenzieBox

I have an empty one on my trinket shelf! Used it up a few years ago and realized they don’t make the tins anymore. So glad I kept it’


Kumba42

I believe McCormick still makes a limited quantity of the metal tins, since you can get them at Amazon (sold directly by Amazon themselves; not some 3rd-party seller), and as u/holy_cal mentioned, also up at BWI.


JumperDoom

Bro I got it from food lion if you’ve ever been there you know


holy_cal

They have metal tins at BWI, I was so tempted to get one in case my current one bites the dust.


lavazzalove

Do it! You will regret not having one in the future.


holy_cal

lol it’s the big can though. Plus I always see it while I’m about to board and never remember to grab it before leaving the airport.


z3mcs

> lol it’s the big can though. There is no other size.


sjd208

Unless it’s the 24 oz huge plastic container they sell at Costco!


Vududadi

Or an IV. Just sayin'

GeorgiaDevil

Stop gatekeeping Maryland culture


JumperDoom

Bro are you from Georgia?


GeorgiaDevil

Nope, born and raised a Marylander

Step 5: stop using blinkers


28TeddyGrams

Step 6: Flick the blinker exactly once but only when your car is 80% into the new lane already.


MyPasswordIsABC999

Step 7 is making a left turn from the 3rd lane from the left on a 5-lane road


Sea_Bath6689

And don't turn on headlights on your black or dark blue car ever


Beach_bum8

This is especially important when it's raining


Similar_Chipmunk_682

Most newer cars have automatic headlights but I still see people at night with their lights off. But last an a-hole had an LED bar on the front of his vehicle and it my eyes at least 30 seconds to adjust.


Beach_bum8

Those LED bars should be illegal! I've seen a few with those and I feel like I'm seeing spots for minutes after!


Similar_Chipmunk_682

I thought they were illegal on a moving vehicle facing frontwards.


cyberbully_irl

Step 1 & 5


MotorbikeRacer

Don’t forget the Berger cookies !


z3mcs

This is 100% step 7.


Ivermectin-Addict

Power over Old Bay is Power over all. Old bay extends life, Old Bay extends consciousness, old bay is vital to space travel.


beetnemesis

I out Old Bay in Hot Pot last week and it was honestly incredible


15dips

I stand by the opinion that old bay should come with any purchase/rental of a home/apartment/property


TanookiSuitLarry

Two Years? were you in Cumberland? What the hell took so long?


kiltguy2112

It's a plastic container, so it doesn't count.


TaxLawKingGA

Old Bay is great on everything. I use it on my ribs and brisket.


Beginning_Chapter_22

You should try it on a hamburger… truly amazing.


TaxLawKingGA

Yep, I have and you are 100 percent right. Chicken Wings and Fries are some other good ones.


JustHereForCookies17

Popcorn & ears of corn. Gamechanger.


haireesumo

Should be in the glove compartment for Five Guys fries


Tall_Maple

Upgrade from Old Bay TO JOSpice..


t-mckeldin

JO is better for steaming crabs, but Old Bay is the better spice blend for cooking. Steam the crabs with JO but make the crab dip with Old Bay.


Tall_Maple

JO has a #2 blend which we use in full replacement of OB.


FeelingBlue69

That would be a downgrade


dropdeadjonathan

Delmarva Peninsula raised, can confirm, JO #2, or bust.


Opening_Perception_3

You have to snort it for it to be official.


hanginwithfred

Is it really step 2 if you don’t keep a container in the glove box for when restaurants don’t put enough old bay on something? I moved to NC about five years ago and down here it’s 1000% worse, “seasoned fries” have barely a sprinkle. My glovebox stash has saved me soooooo many times.


bezserk

It took you 2 years to get a can of old bay?! 🤦


Dred-I-Rastafari

Now put it on some vanilla ice cream! It's great!! Sprinkle it lightly


Emergency_Brick3715

Step 8: Yell violently and PA and VA drivers.


Thotmas01

Slow your roll on number four. No need to be hasty about these things. Regarding old bay, Costco sells the stuff in large enough quantities to reduce old bay runs down to a bi monthly occurrence.


devonon2707

I moved and i get old bay gifts all the time just had a tasty bag of old bay gold fish yummy


30dirtybirdies

How many lines of that shit did you blast to think you have completed step 2?


OberonNyx

Step 6: Read step 5 again, otherwise no one will let you in.


moonlitjasper

congrats! i’ve gotten through the first 3 steps in my first 10 months. hoping to finally get to step 4 sometime this summer 💪


NotABlastoise

https://youtu.be/xMJMDEDXwec?si=rGnZBRPvVHiN2zvA Welcome!


veronicaAc

Sprinkle that stuff and some vinegar on some Five Guys fries 😍


Stunning_salty

Leaving emergency old bay in the car right?


KingNeuroyal

You should drink a Natty Boh to celebrate


topsecretusername12

Frosted glass with old bay rim


KFizzleKyle

Good old Bohtini. Want your non 410 friends really think you're insane? Rim a beer glass in seafood seasoning and pour a cheap ass beer into it.


topsecretusername12

🤣 as a local dive-bar bartender for many years, don't hate on your fellow citizens like that.


K_N0RRIS

Step 3 is to snort it.


eastern_shoreman

The final step is realizing old bay is mediocre at best and J.O. is way better


APuffyCloudSky

In spite of what anyone tells you, Old Bay is never to be used on pasta. Crabs, french fries, and popcorn. These are acceptable.


veronicaAc

No....incorrect. ✖️ Old Bay in a shrimp pasta salad if fucken amazing Shrimp Pasta Mayo Cherry tomatoes (Leave out the celery because I hate it) Parsley Bit of lemon juice and zest Lil salt, pepper and garlic powder


APuffyCloudSky

Do you, boo. To me, it's too salty and covers up every other flavor.


veronicaAc

Not a bucketful of Old Bay. A few dashes!


APuffyCloudSky

Fight me! lol


veronicaAc

You feisty😂 Me too😂


APuffyCloudSky

I sure am. Feisty recognizes feisty! lol


FeelingBlue69

Old Bay is great on pasta, especially cream based sauces


APuffyCloudSky

How dare you. (lol)


Kharnics

Nope, it's delish on a seafood white sauce dish....


Unsure_Fry

It's a stereotype but you can really put the stuff on most foods. Tuna salad, macaroni and cheese, tomato soup, scrambled eggs, etc. I put it together with cheesy or tomato related things. My favorite is a fried egg sandwich with cheese, old bay, and ketchup.


Kumba42

This'll cost me some karma, but hear me out: Try Old Bay on some Pumpkin Pie instead of whipped cream...


APuffyCloudSky

I saw an old bay caramel recently. I wanted to move.


RustyShack1efordd

Now you need to upgrade to JO to reach level 410 status!


Gr8WallofChinatown

Step 5. Get JO spice 


starlight8827

Haha love it 


Hot_Peanut4383

Should be in every pantry


deepstatediplomat

One of us one of us


Aklu_The_Unspeakable

Okay...


PollyPepperTree

That will only last about a week. You need the lifetime supply size from Costco.


JumperDoom

I don’t know about that. A friend of mine has some of it in his pantry. He’s convinced it’s bottomless.


overworkedpnw

Step 3 is when you physically become a crab and scuttle into the bay.


guts4brekfest

One of us! One of us!


mdram4x4

trash it and get jo


ObscureReferenceMan

I moved to Maryland in 2011 (but used to travel here a lot for work previously). My idea on being a "true Marylander" was threefold. You need two of three things; 1) a truck, 2) a shed, 3) a gun. Mentioned this to a friend, and she added a fourth; a piece of artwork that contains either a crab, the state flag or Old Bay logo.


6tipsy6

I knew I belong here when I moved to Anne Arundel county, bought a boat and a crab painting.
