In 1996, The Onion, a satirical newspaper and website, featured an article with the headline “Doritos Celebrates One Millionth Ingredient”, lampooning Frito-Lay for the sheer number of ingredients found in Doritos.

Ranch dressing is a type of salad dressing made of some combination of buttermilk, salt, garlic, onion, mustard, herbs (commonly chives, parsley, and dill), and spices (commonly black pepper, paprika, and ground mustard seed), mixed into a sauce based on mayonnaise, or another oil emulsion.

“Ranch” Doritos on the other hand are composed of over 34, mostly chemical ingredients (like monosodium glutamate, disodium phosphate, 3-4 different colors, disodium inosinate, disodium guanylate, over 10 chemical flavors for the “cheese” alone, and god knows what else).

No wonder Americans are continually getting so much fatter & dumber.

Eventually, every farm will merely be a subsidiary of some globalist chemcial company.

We’re almost there now.

I’m unsure of when I first encountered Ranch dressing, but it had to have been in the early 1970s. I remember those early salad dressing bottles where you had the spice package and the little marks for how much oil and vinegar to add, and how making the salad dressing was my part of dinner prep for the family. The first time I saw Ranch, it was the same thing–Roll your own. Heady stuff, for a kid. I think that was probably my first actual foray into cooking, as a matter of fact…

Hmmm, do you really want a Plumber to double as your Cook?

Pinnacle, indeed.

In a mid-run Christmas episode of The Simpsons, Homer crashes his car into a snow-covered fire hydrant.

He then experiences a gas-fume induced dream in which he is a sultan surrounded by his harem girls, several dancing. He claps his hands and says “Bring me my ranch-dressing hose!” So the girls bring a fire hose connected to a source of the condiment, which they attach to his gaping maw. Pop culture seal of approval.
