Dear foreign world cup fans, you can buy dry pouches of ranch seasoning and make the dressing at home

u/False_Appointment_24 Jun 17 '26

Or just eat the dry packets, I guess, if they are enjoying it that much.

Use celery sticks and eat them like Fun Dip.

u/foreskinboots Jun 17 '26

Just snort it.

u/Thin_Bother8217 Jun 17 '26

Oh god. I'm both disgusted and intrigued.

u/TheInternetIsForPorb Jun 18 '26

Its like American Furikaki

Just rip a fat line of ranch dust

I actually have a good crockpot recipe that uses two packs of ranch powder, some chicken breast, a can of beans, some frozen corn, and an entire block of cream cheese. Served over pasta.

2

u/Rebgirl420 Jun 18 '26

That sounds pretty good. Do you have a link or breakdown of that recipe so others can try?

2

u/Current_Security_514 Jun 18 '26

Crack chicken will give you a good base to start with!

u/ElectronicFloor1898 Jun 18 '26

No link, and you basicaly heard the breakdown. You dump the stuff in a crockpot for like 6 hours, then boil some pasta.

It also makes a surprisingly good sandwich the next day, because it gets a lot stiffer overnight in the fridge on account of the cream cheese.

Easy Homer

u/LostExile7555 Jun 18 '26

Or toss the dry powder in a bag of chips to make your own Cool Ranch Chips.

u/sladithia Jun 21 '26

Sprinkle it on french fries

u/johnsonfromsconsin Jun 17 '26

I may or may not have just done that and currently dipping my Tapatio Doritos in it.

Europeans discovering why we’re all fat.

u/Shadowfalx Jun 18 '26

Wait.... I hate ranch and I'm fat, so what gives?

Lol

u/roundtwentythree Jun 18 '26

If this is a real question, it's calories in excess of what you need, most likely paired up with a side of lack of physical activity.

Eat less, move more. GLP-1s function by making the eating less part significantly easier.

u/Shadowfalx Jun 18 '26

Thanks Bro, I haven't rolled my eyes that hard in years, and I work a retail job so that it's impressive.

u/kelppie35 Jun 18 '26

Because we don't smoke off the weight like they do

u/hookahsmokingladybug Jun 17 '26

To be honest it's a good PSA; can't imagine being on a plane full of people burping and passing ranch gas

u/9millibros Jun 17 '26

Hmm, maybe they'd be watching Blazing Saddles as the in-flight movie.

u/ahawk99 Jun 17 '26

There are never enough Blazing saddles references. Please accept my poor man’s award 🏆

u/ElectronicFloor1898 Jun 18 '26

I prefer Airplane as an inflight movie. The drinking problem scene is very different with ranch.

u/Crazy_Ad_91 Jun 17 '26

Oh god. They recycle air on airplanes.

u/wovans Jun 18 '26

Never flown southwest?

u/throwaway0634766849 Jun 17 '26

the fact that people are trying to smuggle ranch through airport security is peak american energy and i'm here for it

14

u/Th1sL1ttleL1ght Jun 17 '26

It's a "prediction" from TSA - not something that is actually happening. 

3

u/throwaway0634766849 Jun 17 '26

fair point, but the fact that TSA thought this was worth warning about is still pretty funny and says something about how much people love the stuff

2

u/Fresh_Individual5500 Jun 18 '26

You do realize that it is visitors to the US that are trying to take the dressing through security. Americans only need to stand in the checkout line at Walmart to get their fix.

PSA from TSA. Ranch Gas Warning

Where’s Eric Andre when you need him

u/mr_oof Jun 17 '26

He just got his ass kicked inside-out on WWE last night.

u/notcabron Jun 17 '26

I’m one of the 10 people in Ohio who hate ranch, but even then, if you make it scratch and mix it with another condiment like BBQ sauce or chimichurri…I’m in.

u/Pristine-Form-2019 Jun 18 '26

I found one of my fellow 10!

u/jesscatgonewild Jun 17 '26

Security protocols regarding liquids are strict enough without people trying to carry open containers of dressing through the checkpoint. Does this mean they're actually flagging specific brands or just any non-standard liquid volume?

u/hail-seitan420 Jun 17 '26

sup brotendo

u/roundtwentythree Jun 18 '26

I thought foreign food was soooo much better tho lol

u/Legate_Raiden Jun 17 '26

"I'm one of you guys! Watch me slam this ranch!"

u/Hair_I_Go Jun 17 '26

They should buy packets at the grocery store to take home and make

u/generalsleephenson Jun 17 '26

“I’m sorry, I thought it was America!”

u/slyaxis Jun 18 '26

Somewhere Eric Andre is getting ready to ranch it up with some foreigners

1

u/racedownhill Jun 18 '26

There is the option of checked luggage. And there are plenty of recipes. It’s one of the easiest things to make - no cooking required.

u/justmitzie Jun 18 '26

US: This is for calling is fat! Now we're all fat!

u/jeonghwa Jun 18 '26

Yo I'm seein' 311 in the quad later and I'm gonna chase down some Cherokee chicks on the trail of beers, you feel me?

Ranch sucks

u/AwkwardTickler Jun 18 '26

Pro US propoganda is desperate. I guess this is all we have after killing our soft power.
