Ranch Dressing
what's the history behind this amazing product? what defined the flavor "ranch"? and how different is modern day ranch versus when it was originally invented/discovered/etc...
also, who thought to pair ranch and bacon? why was it decided that pig fat (fried) on top of buttermilk complex would be good? not saying it was a bad discovery, because it's amazing.....but why?
also why is Cool Ranch Doritos nothing like Ranch Dressing?

'Ranch' is actually a rather prescient designation, as it foresees a time when corpulent Americans will in fact be a form of livestock put out to pasture for their stem cell harvesting qualities.

In 1954, Steve and Gayle Henson opened Hidden Valley Ranch, a dude ranch near Santa Barbara, California. They served guests a dressing that Steve had developed. The dressing was popular, and they began selling bottles that guests could take home, and later opened a factory to sell packets of ranch seasoning that had to be mixed with mayonnaise and buttermilk (packets that are still available to this day). In 1972, the brand was bought by Clorox for $8 million.

Also, I've moved on from Hidden Valley bottles into their ranch seasoning packets. 1 cup of non-fat yogurt, 1 cup of low fat mayo, 1 packet of hidden valley ranch seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic salt, maybe a tiny splash of water to help out the blender. You get a much much lower calorie/fat ranch dressing and I personally think it tastes a little better.
