Summary
It’s become an unexpected sensation during the World Cup: Ranch dressing! Apparently, foreign travelers can’t get enough of the all-American condiment and are trying to bring some home with them in their carry on luggage. So much so, the Transportation Security Administration has issued a tongue-in-cheek warning to travelers about placing ranch dressing in their checked luggage, as they did not anticipate the “coordinated international enthusiasm” for the condiment. We go over some of the hilarious stories emerging from the ranch dressing craze as well as the 1971 hit song that is quickly becoming the defining song of the World Cup.
