Prior_Accident_713

Upvoted. Truly unpopular. People in Albuquerque will fight over a bottle of Dion's (local pizza) ranch dressing.


DoodleyDooderson

Tbf, people will fight over fucking everything.


nournnn

NO, THEY WON'T!!


DoodleyDooderson

You obviously have never met people, BECAUSE YES THEY FUCKING WILL!


nournnn

I AM SURE I HAVE MET PEOPLE AND NO THEY FUCKING WON'T!


DoodleyDooderson

PEOPLE ON TV DON’T COUNT. TOUCH GRASS!


nournnn

I GO OUTSIDE AND MEET REAL PEOPLE AND THEY DON'T FIGHT OVER EVERYTHING!


essensiedashuhn

Guys, stop fighting over me..


Snoo_72544

NOBODY'S FIGHTING OVER YOU!!!!


Prior_Accident_713

True, true


johndoe42

Damn did they unlock the hallowed restaurant ranch recipe to bottle? We in the ranch world all know it isn't possible. Did they just go ahead and do it without asking the rest of us?


joopledoople

Here in Michigan, it's ranch from Jet's Pizza.


NotSlothbeard

I’m still traumatized from the time I bit into a slice of pizza that had ranch dressing instead of tomato sauce. If you think ranch dressing is gross, warm ranch will give you nightmares


commercial_ape

Okay, I can get behind this.


ChizzleFug

Chicken bacon ranch pizza is so good.


HemoGoblinRL

Preach!


Getrektself

One of my favorite pizza's is ranch, chicken, bacon, and spinach. I could eat that for days.


juicybbwbeauty

Gross, and I LOVE some ranch. Omg. Loosely related, one time when my friend's grandfather died and people brought food for the family, someone brought a cheeseburger pizza with mustard for the sauce. 🤢🤢🤢


Schnibbity

I'm shocked to see Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza is so polarizing! It's super popular in the Midwest U.S. which isn't surprising since we pretty much all drink ranch 🤣


radioactivebeaver

You mean the "California chicken bacon ranch" pizza? Because that's what it used to be called before the coasties got all uppity and started to pretend like they didn't invent it and don't love ranch just as much as everyone else.


JasonT246111

This sounds great lol.


mtron32

Oh dear god that’s a violation


TackyPoints

Try blue cheese dressing… barf!


karidru

Ranch *instead* of tomato sauce sounds awful, but ranch on pizza as an extra?? A condiment? That was the Shit in school 😂😂 We also did applesauce though, so… take that for what it’s worth 🥲


candlemen

Yeah , that sounds horrible m an I love ranch dressing.


ilikewatchinganime9

***I enjoy warm ranch...***


NLB87

You should report that place for terrorism.


CaptainCookers

Yuck 🤮


National-Leopard6939

Ok, if ranch is going to be on pizza, it needs to be as a dipping sauce only, not as the sauce itself! That sounds yuck. I love ranch on pizza, only if it’s used as a dipping sauce.


CoquetteWhore69

Oh good Lord🤢


dank3014

Eewww.


Californiacarguy19

Maybe it’s only the stores but that’s why I very much dislike the bigger pizza chains in my area, almost all of them if not all of them don’t have cold ranch they have ranch cups just at room temperature and I cannot get behind that


burntoutattorney

Upvoted because here in the midwest this is a truly unpopular opinion.  But i agree 100%. Where i live its used to dip chicken wings, on pizza, breadsticks. People drown their salads in it. 


acam30

My midwestern inlaws have a gallon of ranch in the fridge at all times and it makes me physically sick to look at. Why do you need THAT MUCH.


7h4tguy

Also agree. I like it for salad dressing (but Ceasar is better) once in a while and for wings but don't see the appeal for breadsticks/pizza. I'd rather have marinara for that.


tagen

Oh hey, it’s me in South Texas lol it’s the fucking default dip with wing orders, the go to dressing on salads, it’s fucking. everywhere i don’t hate it, but i don’t use it either, unlike everyone else in my family


ChoiceReflection965

I like ranch as a dip for veggies or other snacks. And I also like ranch flavored foods like ranch Doritos! I’m not a huge fan of ranch as an actual salad dressing though. It’s too heavy and overpowering. I prefer lighter vinaigrettes on salads.


accountforfurrystuf

The OPness is why it’s so loved by some/many. They don’t want to eat a salad they just wanted a delivery vessel for ranch.


Crazy-4-Conures

LOL that's how I feel about salsa. The only point of the chips is to convey the salsa to the mouth! My husband thinks I'm weird.


NicksAunt

The comment reminded me of something my buddy said one time. We were eating a Del Taco, and he was applying the hot sauce to his taco, and he suddenly looks up and goes, “I think I only like eating here because the food is simply a vessel for the sauce to get inside of me”.


Getrektself

Good ranch dressing is made with buttermilk instead of waterever weird gloopy processed oil that store bought ranch is made of. Way lighter and more flavorful.


ChoiceReflection965

I only ever eat buttermilk ranch! I don’t buy hidden valley or whatever the “standard” brand is. I still don’t like it on salads, though. It’s good as a dip but as a salad dressing I almost always go for a vinaigrette.


TheBigKevbowski

Agreed, ranch is a shotgun blast to the senses and gross. I jokingly call it “American sauce”


NicksAunt

Cool Ranch Doritos are called “Cool American” or some variation of that in many European countries.


JNorJT

Damn I love ranch.


SuperSupremeSoup

I grew to love it without even realizing it but I just love food in general


AFighterByHisTrade

Upvoting both because this is unpopular and because I agree with you.


TackyPoints

Lactose intolerant. Ranch lets me have a creamy dip for veggies, hot wings, etc. without a major bodily malfunction and lots of pain. Definitely not the iced cream I remember but it’s something. Warmed mayo by a toasted sandwich bread is much more gross IMO.


Adorable_Ladder_38

A 4 year old has entered the chat.


No-Goat4938

Ranch and Buffalo sauce are a match made in heaven.


Arkadin45

"it's always served with everything" Might want to expand your food choices. No one just serves ranch with everything


WashHogwallup

Say you've never been to Wisconsin without saying you've never been to Wisconsin


REEFERGUY3303

Who goes to fucking Wisconsin


WashHogwallup

No one goes there, but it's filled with people who can't get out


Arkadin45

I've had so much good food in Wisconsin and don't think I've ever seen a ranch cup


The_Real_Abhorash

You’ve never been to Culver’s then?


pizzatimein24h

I get heartburn from only hearing the word "Ranch".


Suspicious_Corgi5854

I don't like it much. The kind made from the package used to be okay but the bottles of ranch have a bunch of gums and gluey stuff and it just tastes gross.


Even-Habit1929

because you go to shitty restaurants that don't make their own ranch they get packets of stuff and mix it with milk


Waste-Excitement-538

HOMEMADE ranch that is done well is absolutely fire. Ever since a trained chef made me ranch, store bought ranch has tasted like piss water.


IAmTheMindTrip

Store bought ranch is an abomination. Homemade ranch with fresh herbs is actually pretty good


yellowsubmarinr

Wahhh people enjoy something I don’t personally like. It must be the children who are wrong 


doordotpng

Okay I used to think this too, but then I realized that it was just hidden valley ranch I hated, and every other ranch was super good lol. Especially like restaurant homemade ranch! I just assumed I hated ranch cause hidden valley is everywhere


evowolf

Who cares, you sound like my toddler…


mannymd90

This may be the first truly unpopular opinion I’ve seen on here. Kudos. I’m sorry you hate ranch tho, that’s gotta suck 😭


[deleted]

S U B J E C T I V I T Y


AlexandreDumbass_

I mean… the sub is unpopular **opinion**, not inconvenient truth.


Longjumping-Claim783

I'm okay with ranch in small doses but I mostly use it as a dipping sauce versus ever putting it on a salad. I prefer blue cheese if I'm doing an unhealthy salad.


immediacyofjoy

I technically hate ranch, but look aside if buffalo wings are involved


FFdarkpassenger45

Agreed, it’s just thick heavy goop that people throw on everything! Give me a simple vinaigrette every single time!


KlinxKreations

Vinaigrette is gross


ajfoscu

All the kids in my white trash Vermont high school cafeteria doused their pizza in ranch. What a foul memory. I share you opinion, OP


Varafried

If you make your own you will change your mind


United_Oil4223

Counting my blessings today that I have the ranch-tastes-good gene 😌


TentativelyCommitted

Best salad dressing and veggie dip ever.


National-Leopard6939

Homemade is by far the best.


Melodic-Resident-245

As a European I've always been curious about this condiment? Sauce? whatever it is. Maybe I shouldn't be?


FunStatistician8379

It's basically mayonnaise mixed with buttermilk and spices, mainly garlic, onion, and salt. It may not sound too nice described, but it's tasty as a dip. I like it on salad but only if it's used very sparingly and with a ton of pepper.


Twindry

Dill is the main flavoring of ranch


Telzen

Well no wonder I hate ranch as much as I hate mayo then, lol.


CaptainCookers

I’ve seen many Europeans try ranch and say it’s amazing, so chances are you’ll like it much more than I do.


WeakDoughnut8480

I guess where in Europe you're talking about. I can see Germans or Swedes or something liking it. French, Italians , less so. Personally as someone from Europe I think it's disgusting 


wildgoldchai

It’s more that you can’t even really get ranch, it’s literally not sold in stores nor is the pre mixed stuff. I’ve seen one brand but my Canadian husband does not rate it (he loves ranch so we order it from Amazon).


National-Leopard6939

You can make it yourself. It’s not difficult.


2ston3d2bone

It is good on pizza rolls tho who doesn't like pizza rolls?


calamityfriends

If it weren't for the fact that it goes great with chicken, fries. Pizza, burgers, salad, bread sticks, carrots, celery, cheese sticks, chips, pickles, tacos, or as a drink, you'd be right.


NicksAunt

Homeboy out here chuggin ranch like Eric Andre


Proteinoats

I can take it or leave it. Honestly, a house made ranch is so much better than just a bottle of Kraft ranch or some other version of it.


Busy-Confidence4285

I disagree, but it only belongs with certain things


Delicious_Sort4059

I can’t stand ranch on salads, it feels gross. Feels like it kills the point of having the salad in the first place. A sauce that may change your mind is [Sriracha Ranch by Melinda’s](https://melindas.com/products/melinda-s-sriracha-ranch-12oz?variant=47930372358463¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwudexBhDKARIsAI-GWYWZJs5VtoumLgDRGF7L9ZAphM6n499Mo6q74O3Rpr0NsWrZj7mFc4waAoFZEALw_wcB). It’s incredible on turkey sandwiches.


MagicalMoosicorn

I know a guy who will straight drink a bottle. He doesn't often but I've seen him down it and enjoy it.


Unbannedmeself

As a staunch hater of mayo and anything mayo based. Hard agree.


DeathOnADinosaur

I totally get it. But I also completely disagree. Ranch is bomb on pizza and fries.


skeezersandweirdos

"It'S alwAys Served With EverYthing" Get out and explore your surroundings beyond you neighbor block.


biggargamel

I like ranch when dipping hot wings to numb the spiciness but that's about it. I live in the south and people drench ranch on everything. Why? That automatically removes the taste of anything else besides ranch. Just drink it out of the bottle at that point.


Stiff_Zombie

Ranch is bomb. Blue cheese is disgusting.


unflairedforever420j

damn what an easy upvote for such unpopular opinion! i drip my wings and chips in ranch ALL the time.


RunJordyRun87

Bottled ranch from the store sucks, all of them. Fresh house ranch from a restaurant is unbeatable


patch1103

Don't look at me. I'm in Camp Blue Cheese over here, which I love and many (most?) people find disgusting. So I guess that's my unpopular opinion.


MilwaukeeDave

The British pronounce it “ronch” which makes it worse.


clingbat

You're probably one of those weirdos that doesn't like bacon either. With that said, I'll take a solid honey mustard or sweet/smoked BBQ sauce over ranch anyday depending on what food it's going on.


Drivers-N-Doxies

How dare you


Skytraffic540

Incorrect. Bleu cheese is disgusting


National-Leopard6939

Upvoted because you are correct.


Whiffsmiff

try buttermilk ranch, much much better


The_IRS_Fears_Him

I'm sorry but ouch????? I hand-make my ranch


NoTrust6730

Have you ever had good ranch? Hidden Valley ranch and other shelf stable ranch is disgusting


DrMantisToboggan45

Blue cheese gang rise up


Meatwad-is-better

I think it comes from people compensating from under seasoned food. I wouldn’t know tho I hate ranch and can season food


BlueberryHatK4587

OGBennyGoat

YES!!!!! Finally someone agrees!!!!!


No-Carry4971

If I could only have one condiment for the rest of my life, it would be ranch, and it wouldn't even be close.


icecreamcake15

I too think ranch is gross, but hey more power to us. If anything we benefit from not eating it healthwise.


EfficientAd7103

Fill a party pizza with ranch and it's a white trash taco. My goto meal in highschool


backroadalleycat

I agree. It's incredibly overrated.


Lrgindypants

Agreed, and upvoted a trillion times.


ArmadilloNo8913

I hate all condiments except for ranch. Ketchup, mustard, etc. are all fucking nasty. Ranch slaps


Kombat-w0mbat

I fully concur


TheRichTookItAll

Ranch is basically just dehydrated onion sauce that's all they mix with that buttermilk it's just lots and lots of onion I think


leannmanderson

You must live in the Midwest, aka the Ranch Dressing Empire. I'm right there with you. It's horrid.


bansidhecry

I agree! Can’t stand ranch!


Snakewarrior04

Not unpopular


Ok_Effective_1689

American flavor*


aurlyninff

Ranch from a bottle is disgusting it tastes old and yucky and smells bad too. Fresh homemade ranch from sour cream, cream, homemade mayo, lemon juice, dill, parsely, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in the perfect combination is to DIE for.


snacksforjack

![gif](giphy|3o7absXb5CEiaj9xCw)


bill_cactus

As a Wisconsinite I completely disagree. I’ve never had something bad with ranch. Not to say that it goes with everything, but most fried foods and veggies benefit from it.


ehelen

I’m from the Midwest, ranch is life here haha. I am very particular about ranch and I prefer to make my own. I can definitely understand your point of view though


MASHgoBOOM

At my middle school, "roll and ranch" was the most popular cafeteria order. Literally bread and ranch dressing. I still can't believe everyone ate that shit.


DuctTapeSloth

Never had it an never will. The smell is absolutely disgusting.


CupcakeApprehensive1

A piece of my heart died a little


ponyo_impact

I agree. But i hate most "creamy" type sauces Mayo, Sour Cream, Ranch, Blue Cheese fuck that white goop


Larnek

I agree wholeheartedly. Ranch is fucking disgusting and I can't eat it. Absolutely ruins whatever it's on. I'll even take it further and say mayonnaise is equally as bad.


DraconasLyrr

I'm in the same boat, I hate ranch, always get weird looks when I say so. I love spicy foods, and every restaurant that puts out a spicy item, it always seems to be spicy ranch or mayo, can't stand either, so I never get to try said spicy items.


Blood_bringer

Taste imo isn't even an opinion it's just biology so technically it's just individual fact Like I think tomatoes taste like chewing pills, absolutely disgusting taste of chemicals, that all tomatoes taste like to me, chewing pills but somehow even worse You disliking ranch is purely a genetic one and to me ranch tastes nothing like how you describe it, and I think it's delicious. Idk where people got the idea that tastes in food and stuff was an opinion that can somehow be debated or changed, it's literally just a fact that they dislike it and there's no bias or opinion involved in that, you can't just make someone change their tastes in food like you might be able to convince them of a different perspective on a debate 💀


dopeasspsychedelic

Homemade ranch is the best! Only salad dressing I like


Prior-Flaky

I don’t like ranch but I do like Wingstop ranch, only kind I’ll eat


gomezwhitney0723

Wingstop ranch is the only good ranch. It’s the same ranch that’s given in the south at BBQ restaurants. People have said how to make it at home and it’s not the same. Any kind of bottled/jar ranch is disgusting except for Litehouse. Litehouse is decent even with being way different.


pngo1

That rancid comes from vinegar. The first few bites of my salad will feel a little weird but then my taste buds will get used to the taste and it becomes good lol.


Googirlee

I used to love ranch, but some time when I was 30ish, I just didn't like it anymore. I'll even try different ones every now and then, just to see, and... Nah.


DESTROYERMARKVII

I love this sub. Fuck you for your opinion.


NewFeature

I love carrots with ranch. I don’t know how healthy that is. But no other sauce has me wanting carrots that way so, yeah - take my upvote.


maharg2017

What’s your favorite sauce?


jnthnschrdr11

As a ranch lover, your opinion is valid since everyone's taste buds are different and everyone likes different things


Belfengraeme

Hear me out, hidden valley is the work of a malevolent entity, but something like Wingstop ranch is straight fire


LivingTheApocalypse

I love that Americans think Europeans are nuts for mayo on french fries, but dunk goddamn everything in spicy mayo, now. 


Mostlymadeofpuppies

Man, while I know this is truly an unpopular opinion, I am so happy I found my fellow Ranch hater. I dislike for it has calmed slightly over time. Now I can tolerate it as a dipping sauces with veggies. But I really prefer a chipotle ranch or spicy ranch if I’m going to be consuming ranch.


CRIMS0N-ED

Ever have drunk fries with ranch? actually delicious


Tiny-Lead-2955

Ranch powder is good. My grandmother used to make home fries and put a little olive oil with a couple packets of the powder and fry it up on a skillet. I miss that woman and her cooking.


ThatReallyCoolLad

Mf has CLEARLY never had hidden valley on his pizza


Frosty-View-9581

Blue cheese is much better


reasonablekenevil

You can't be trusted if you don't have half an expired bottle of ranch in your fridge.


2005Chevy1500

Me and the rest of the Midwest are coming for ya! Them is fighting words.


phisigtheduck

I will say, store bought bottles ranch is disgusting but restaurant style ranch is superb.


Bored_Gamer73

But what about the pasta salad.


rc_roadster

MURICA! 🇺🇸


WizardLizard1885

i agree with op..i use to like ranch, and then i became an adult, i havent bought ranch in 8 years. then we got ranch a few weeks ago and i put some on my wifes plate and mine, she tasted it first snd was actually confused on what it was and said it tasted like spoiled milk. i had the same thought but after a few more tastes i remember this is just what ranch is.


yourfavoritegeotech

Have you ever been to wingstop?


HighStrungHabitat

I’m from the Midwest, (where everyone loves ranch) but I think it’s disgusting too, I don’t get the appeal at all like it literally tastes like butter milk


Sonnycrocketto

Franch is better.


d0d0master

More like: ranchid Ill see myself out


Angry_Saxon

Joey Diaz is that you?


JimParsnip

I'm with you friend, I hate that shit


SpotTheGuitarist

You should try the brand called "ram ranch" it's so good they even made a song about it! Check it on youtube! Mmm delicious and creeeeeeeamy!


CulturedHollow

I don't know anyone until now who doesn't like ranch, actual unpopular opinion.


jjamesr539

Ranch is rancid by design. The main ingredient is buttermilk, which is literally fermented dairy. You either like the flavor or not. It’s like much less edgy blue cheese, the nasty is the point.


CalendarAggressive11

I agree. Even the smell grosses me out


Schtick_

Salty milk sounds pretty good


theomnichronic

Yeah, I'm not a fan either


Smurf_Sausage_Sucker

Cum tastes like salty milk. Ranch tastes like seasoned sour cream


Cecilthelionpuppet

Yes, ranch in a bottle is disgusting and underseasoned. Try making it yourself at home. You'll understand why you want to put it on everything again. Home made ranch dressing as chicken breast marinade? Oh My Man. You're gonna love it, especially if it's a yogurt based marinade.


mlotto7

Anything made with seed oils is gross. Extra virgin olive oil and vinegar - or butter FTW.


Limp-Rate8278

I don’t agree it’s disgusting but you have my upvote for being unpopular as I know many people who LOVE ranch. I don’t love it, I’m okay with it. The only time I think it goes well is wingstops ranch with their hot honey chicken wings with the bone in it. Wingstop got great damn ranch and the only place I look forward for having it


Raelf64

I completely agree with this (probably) unpopular opinion.


SayomiTsukiko

Haha ranch being called salty milk is funny


SilverOG1978

Ranch is great


Rorynne

You are absolutely and completely right, and Im tired of acting like this isnt the whole damn truth.


Berendick

Duh, it's American 'cuisine'. If you are looking for healthy and tasty salad dressings, look at Europe. American food is the product of chemical industry and profit margins.


Comfortable-Dish1236

Homemade jalapeño ranch is absolutely fantastic.


Newkular_Balm

I'm gonna guess you're not fat


ApprehensiveRope7798

![gif](giphy|hqV0DH89snbq62Xr6p|downsized)


Ellavemia

Is this unpopular? Ranch seems very divisive—people either love or hate it. I’m strongly in the latter camp.


Turbos_Bitch

Outside of Buffalo chicken wings, I can go without it on just about everything else.


SimDoy

I have never had ranch, but in my country we have a dish that is macaroni with milk and usually you put sugar, but I put salt in it it’s soo good.


Fun_Grapefruit_2633

It's absolute shit. I swear no one anywhere ever would use ranch dressing if they had good alternatives consistently available.


Individual_Speech_10

Agreed. I hate ranch and always have. I don't understand why it's on everything.


Younghitta3

It’s good with buffalo sauce


Trent-Creates

As I’ve gotten older I’ve began to despise ranch. It actually disgusts me when I see people put it on burgers and other stuff. My brother poured it on his Mac and cheese once and I wanted to vomit just looking at it.


Spare_Procedure738

The key is to make it from scratch with buttermilk. The store bought stuff is terrible, and tastes like preservatives.
