They should get Devora Wilde involved.

Ngl, I would love a trip to Europe. I'm not the biggest fan of ranch but I'd put ranch on every damn thing they want. Europeans would be side eyeing me like mad. Wouldn't care. Got free trip.

I’ve been to a few places in Europe where I know that if I brought in ranch and put it on the food, I’d be killed.

Ok but I have to break the news to you: I know many European people who have gone ape shit when they tried ranch for the first time.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I can never quite tell whether that means that they loathed it, or that they went mad for it.

My unpopular opinion

Ranch is disgusting

[–] PodPerson@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 hour ago

We make ranch at home to occasionally dip things in, and it’s enjoyable. However, the slimy, sour shit that comes out of a bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch is diagusting.

In Europe they don't know what ranch is so Cool Ranch Doritos are called Cool American Doritos...

[–] sauerkrautsaul@lemmus.org 6 points 1 hour ago

in ireland its called Cool Original

[–] Jiral@lemmy.org 6 points 3 hours ago

What's that "Ranch"? Just the usual mix of fat and sugar to drown any food and its taste with, good American style?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 4 hours ago

After having gone out and tried other brands of ranch (hidden valley was my family's goto all my life), I have found that I aftually quite hate hidden valley's.

No no, this makes sense. The world's opinion of us is already as low as it can possibly get, this can only help. Not likely but how much worse could it get?

Which country will one of these people end up getting murdered? My money’s on France. Someone is going to douse their steak au poivre in bacon flavored ranch, and the reaction won’t be pretty.

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 19 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

My money is on Italy the moment they try using it as pasta sauce.

Or basically any other food, for that matter.

[–] dizzle18@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 hours ago

If they can even survive past asking why their pizza doesn’t have any cheese on it.

[–] notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 hours ago

Yo this is how you start WWIII

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Okay I get that it might be dangerous but I'm not sure if I am more or less intrigued now

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

It's fine as long as they livestream it

Honestly, if he isn't picked they are just losing money on this.

[–] ThanksObama@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 hours ago

Ranch it up bro!

[–] canadian_commie@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 hours ago

This new form of American imperialism is shockingly evil.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Listen, I love ranch, but you're gonna want to convince the Scots and let them try to convince everyone else. Ranch is amazing on fried food, and by fuck does Scotland fry food.

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

Now I want a scotch egg dipped in ranch.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 5 hours ago

Free food, traveling across Europe, and all the ranch I can eat? Sign me the fuck up

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 14 points 6 hours ago

They should bring Eric Andre along, he knows how to Ranch It Up!

[–] truthfultemporarily@feddit.org 8 points 5 hours ago

Another Walmart moment.

Litehouse is better (it has what the ranch craves (buttermilk))

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

They should bring better ranch. Nothing will taste good with shit like Hidden Valley.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Sounds like something ranch purveyors would do.
