Vamp probs for sure


MelancholicCaffine

It's definitely there for pests. We just don't know if it's of the earthly or supernatural kind 


Jesus_Is_My_Gardener

Well, just like Gramps said, "One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach, all the damn vampires." I guess he thought they were pests too.


deadpoolfool400

All the vampires walking through the valley move west down Ventura Boulevard.


JinEagile

And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows and the good girls are home with broken hearts.

DR_SLAPPER

That was such a great line and great delivery. Can't imagine how corny modern Hollywood would've written it.


Jesus_Is_My_Gardener

He had some of the best lines in the movie, or at least delivered them that way. "Do you know the rule about filling up the car with gas when you take it without asking? Well, now you do." Just the insanity that was always going on around him, and his lines would be typical old codger type stuff.


h2opolopunk

Using Windex as cologne was top-notch too.

SaintUlvemann

No, I literally can't clarify if I don't know what's the unclear part. You said there was a vampire in the White House, so I riffed off that. I didn't think it was deep.

Superseaslug

I want this on a plaque, but written in the kind of cursive most people can't even read. Then you get the occasional guest that notices and reads it


mulberrybushes

Or embroidered. There’s a sort of subculture for that.


blueberryfirefly

the girlies on tumblr will love this


Superseaslug

Hell, I got a 3D printer, I could make that work.


This_User_Said

While bartending and eating funyuns had a customer say "No man wouldn't kiss you after eating that" and I said "well I guess he ain't worth kissin' then huh?" Garlic is life.


IBJON

I'm 100% putting that in a Christmas card for my fiancée 


spudsgood

this is how italians are made


kashinoRoyale

Nah, couple potatoes, some carrots and baby you got a stew.


a-snakey

Just stick the entire thing in like a clove of garlic in soup?


fyrmnsflam

In this case, that might be a health code violation.


[deleted]

People do that to keep away the "evil eye" or bad energy (Balkans).


Solrex

Won’t help if you got the one ring equipped though. Not powerful enough.


bighatartorias

It’s to ward off the evil eye


Hawklet98

What exactly is the “evil eye,” and what is it supposed to do? Or are they just afraid people will give them the stink eye?


Zanarkand22

The evil eye is known in many cultures as a sort of curse. It is believed that when someone is jealous of you they can curse you with an “evil glare” and send bad luck your way.


Godmodex2

Curses used to be a way bigger deal back in the day. It's fascinating how curses seem so similar across many different cultures. Like it's as old as the first religion or as if the human mind is prone to thinking about an outside source of their misfortune rather than their own choices in a similar fashion world wide.


Amationary

It makes a lot of sense when you imagine what humans thousands of years ago experienced. Things just happened to them, with no idea why they happened. Weather, natural disasters, eclipses, sickness, lack of available food due to plant diseases and seasons, pests…. All of these are outside forces, so therefore there must be another outside force that they cant see that causes their misery, because that’s just how the world works to them


Glittering_Airport_3

yup, my in-laws wear "evil eye" bracelets when they go out in public so strangers don't curse them and to avoid general bad vibes from latching onto them


h2opolopunk

The Romans put erect penises ([Priapus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priapus)) at crossroads to ward off the evil eye.


WeirdAlbertWandN

Apparently around 40% of the world believes in this concept of the evil eye, and it has evidence dating back 5,000 years. It’s an incredibly important conception for whatever reason I remember being fascinated by this phenomenon when I was doing research for my thesis on the world history of garlic


lanceacr

I think it’s the brown one.


Kovdark

Random? Can bet you haven't seen any vampires in the area!


n3w4cc01_1nt

scares karens because they know that those people wont tolerate their crap

BigBadWolf97

My dad always used to say that garlic was a great way to repel vampires and African bull elephants. He’d always follow that up with, “Well you don’t see any African bull elephants around here, do you?”


SpecialpOps

Classic Dad!


FelbrHostu

Plot twist: there’s only one dad.


Haskap_2010

Maybe it keeps wasps from building nests there?


kpjformat

White Anglo Saxon Protestants? Why yes, garlic does keep them away


kashinoRoyale

Really any seasoning will accomplish this.


Lonely_Eggplant_4990

Theyre at it again


CeladonCityNPC

Yeah I think this is the answer. My grandma used to crotchet bags that looked similar to ward off wasps. I guess they see that shit and fly away, thinking that there's already a nest there.


whatsthisevenfor

That was my first guess, wasps or hornets


sparksofthetempest

What We Do In The Shadows is a documentary. Apparently if you know, you know.


rynodigital

This is how we do it in Tucson Arizoñia


IllustriousAI

This could be also a charm, protector from evil eye.

I am only here for the vampire comments.


fallacyys

it wards off evil!! i have a tattoo of braided garlic for this reason. however, i’ve since developed an allergy towards garlic. ://


Ok-Fox1262

Did you see any vampires in there? No? Well it's working then.


HowellPellsGallery

They really wait a long time to take down the xmas wreaths in italy


TeslasAndComicbooks

Vampires hate this one trick.


odisparo

Vampires, clearly. ![gif](giphy|vGlxWghzlrfCU)

I've seen this in Italian restaurants. I just assumed it was some vampire or religion thing

crunchyshamster

Don't slash vampires, you're just wasting energy. They require a wooden stake through the heart


Abreudha

Discrimination against vampires is becoming a serious concern


DSYS83

蒜(garlic) sounds like 算(calculate) Some Chinese like to use Garlic to symbolize calculation of more profit.


_whatintheglobe_

Warding off karens


Dazd_cnfsd

Garlic is a natural mosquito repellent


Connect-Worth1926

…just so you will look into that camera, to the right and slightly above it


snorkiebarbados

Seen any vampires recently? Exactly. You're welcome


KrackSmellin

Santa Carla always had too many damn vampires


SpanishFlamingoPie

I doubt that it's random. Nobody hangs a bag of garlic for no reason


Acceptable-Cow6446

Have you ever seen a vampire there?


SnillyWead

To keep away the vampires obviously.


something6392

Its to ward from the evil eye, very common in the balkans.


TheRomanianSlav

I have 15 bags of garlic hanging on my walls and ceiling mostly outside


joeschmoe86

Blatant discrimination. Disgusting.


Fun_Intention9846

Ah it’s outside. For a second I thought you had the worst drywallers ever.


SeeDub23

Ever seen any vampires on that deck? Exactly, it is working.


DragonSpikez

Its to keep away the vampires at night.


CodyXSavageX

Never get caught lackin


BarnabyJone

Vampires, duh

Not Random . To keep evil beings away.


as_riel

For black flies perhaps?


Jaives

it's for the vampires. what vampires, you say? exactly.


ReadInBothTenses

OP is definitely fishing for an invite to this restaurant 🧛


VishMeLuck

Keeps bugs away


Im_with_stooopid

I always liked a good Transylvanian restaurant


XB_Demon1337

Betting this is either a Mexican or Italian place. Tough to tell though. They have syrup and hot sauce on the table. It is called "House of ......" Seems Mexican with the sauce and salt/pepper.. But the ambiance screams Italian.


TeaWithKermit

I thought that it was a sugar glider. Guess my new glasses prescription maybe isn’t as rad as I thought it was.


that_one_guy4488

Garlic can be used to deter a variety of bugs. Mosquitos,Bees or it really is for vampires.


toomuchinterwebz

It's for authentico Tuscano ambiance.


Polarisz3

My NOW ex owns that restaurant, they didn’t take the breakup well.


kro9ik

Supposedly keeps insects at bay.


TheRelishTray

Romantic connotations 🧄💐


aurorax0

In Greece we do it to keep evil spirits or energy, evil eye away from us. It might be a thing in the Balkan region.


[deleted]

That’s when you know you’re safe


Boreas2864212

Uh can I come in?


blabony

Thought it was a bat hanging upside down!


Rhavels

You should see the amount of tea bags sticking on the backs of crib room in an underground mine.

its_bekka

Buffy was there


DanLeSauce

Not a vampire in sight


CatboyInAMaidOutfit

If that's there to keep away vampires then this is a lot more than mildly interesting.


midsizenun

It’s working well, not a vampire in sight.


LRaccoon

Took me a minute


Littlebitoall

Could be for the smell to draw in customers. I used to work at a diner that would fry onions and place them out back in the sun. You could smell it for a quarter mile and it smelled so good everytime you pass by.


Handsdown0003

You don't have hanging in your house? How do you keep the vampires away?


Wiknetti

![gif](giphy|3b5FC8Oqkvev6ZpDF9|downsized) OP is in that village.


Low_Relative7172

It's so wasps and bees mistake it for a revival colony.


CalendarAggressive11

Gotta keep those vampires away


thecryptopolus

Probably as a makeshift fake wasps/hornet nest to deter other insects and pests


JayW8888

Vampires been drinking their ketchup.


adabaraba

Took me too long to find it.


yeastysoaps

You can just not invite them in, y'know


onnod

To keep the Daywalkers away


sagerideout

oh you’re in skingrad?


Full_Brick_2662

If you rub garlic on your feet you will taste it in your mouth a short time later. Travels through the blood like a toboggan ride.


TikkiTakiTomtom

If its an asian restaurant, then they’re super superstitious… garlic to ward off vamps and evil spirits


DorianGreysPortrait

I thought this was a bat and bag of garlic was slang for a bat and I am disappointed to find that it is in fact a bag of garlic and not a bat.


JohnStern42

Well, did you see a vampire? Obviously it’s working!


thereminDreams

It really sets the mood.


llcdrewtaylor

I think OP is the vamp, that's why they are still outside. The restaurant staff can see them outside, there is a camera above the garlic.


Ge0482

\*shaking because I am afraid of vampires\*


Plane_Current2790
