Current Events > Hidden valley ranch is releasing *checks notes, Ice cream...

(+) Yeah! (+)

Y tho?

Created in honor of National Ranch Day on March 10, the ice cream company has collaborated with the top-selling ranch brand in the country, Hidden Valley Ranch. The 14-ounce packages will be sold for $4.98 exclusively at Walmart locations nationwide starting March 20 through May 28.

Blah blah blah

So, what does it taste like?
Ranch dressing ice cream isnt Van Leeuwens first savory-leaning ice cream flavor, releasing in the past year a mustard ice cream (which Ive never personally tried) and a caramelized onion ice cream (which I tried and really enjoyed).

I seemed primed to enjoy a savory-sweet pairing in this vein after all, Im someone who typically goes for a honey mustard or poppy seed dressing when given the option. Still, admittedly, a spoonful of this ice cream threw me for quite the loop.

Right before the spoon hit my tongue, my nose got a heavy whiff of garlic, which is attributed to the fact that theres both garlic powder and onion powder in the ice cream. This made my brain expect something savory, but as there is a healthy amount of cane sugar in the ice cream more than the garlic and onion the resulting taste was a shock to the senses.
Still, for ranch stans, this may be up your alley, and though it doesnt taste exactly like Hidden Valley Ranch to me, it's certainly in the same neighborhood. The addition of buttermilk definitely helps that association ring true.

But the garlicky-chiveness of the treat really lingers on the tongue, so maybe curious souls should skip this one on date night.

Man Kraft already released macaroni and cheese one

Same reason there's a macaroni and cheese ice cream. And a Tapatio hot sauce ice cream.

I still can't believe it's not an obvious plant long con, and its still a month too early for fool's day

Still waiting on peanut butter bubblegum

I now know the company name that Ive never heard of and several of their other flavors

marketing stunt successful

Their normal icecream flavors are actually pretty good.
