Hahaha, this is terribly true. Sriracha is so good on yuca chips, though!

And I hate ranch with a passion. Can't stand seeing my mom drown her salad in that stuff. Yuck.

The kiddies are loving the ranch almost as much as ketchup but not quite.

No way!

It's ketchup or fresh tomatoes on our table.

I'm a minority in my group of friends -- they actually *do* put ranch on pizza, wings, you name it. I just don't get it, can't stand the taste. Give me bleu cheese for wings and ketchup for my burgers and I'm a happy girl.

My sons both are ranch junkies. They used to put ketchup on stuff, but now its ranch. It's something they both really discovered when they went off to college. Hubby I don't eat it at all, but I keep it in the fridge for the kids when they come home.

Kind of funny though. Our oldest was home for a few days earlier this month. One night I made a big salad with dinner and knowing he loved ranch, I put the ranch dressing out for him. He came in and asked if we had any Italian dressing. He says while he loves ranch on everything else, he doesn't like it on salad.

For my 5 year old, yes! She wants ranch on everything. For me, I mix it up. Sometimes ranch, others ketchup.

I cannot imagine how fat I would be if I ate that stuff.

Ranch dressing makes a lot of things BETTER. Dip you french fries in Ranch. Dip your pizza in Ranch. Or, pour it on. Put it on your burger! I added it to an Italian beef sandwich. It gave the sandwich a zing that was dynamite! Of coarse wings are better dipped.

I've never been a big ketchup fan. However, I understand. That said, if Ranch dressing is not, it should be! Ketchup is so juvenile.

I personally love to dip my fries in sriracha/mayonnaise. I eat my burgers with barbecue sauce (which I can make from scratch if so inclined). I've even dipped pizza in ranch dressing for tub-o-lard bonus points, but in my defense it was buttermilk ranch paired with green chile, black olive, and pepperoni pizza from one of the better NM-local pizza chains.

Depends on the person.

By the way, I am not a "sriracha" hipster. I was eating it before it blew up somehow, and my trip to SE Asia in November/December 2010 only reinforced that sriracha is awesome (they don't give you ketchup with fries there a lot of the time, but sriracha instead. It's normal for them, sorta like fish sauce.)
If you are NOT doing this, you are missing out!

There are several pizza restaurants in the area that use ranch sauce on pizza, instead of tomato sauce. These are very popular.

Jack in the Box has a large pump-type dispenser of ranch dressing next to the ketchup dispenser. I have seen people use it on everything, even on breakfast sandwiches.
