Burger King has partnered with Hidden Valley Ranch[/caption]
Starting on October 16, Burger King will release its “Big Dip” cups of Hidden Valley Ranch to be paired with its Whoppers, per a press release.
Those who make purchases at certain Burger King locations nationwide can get the eight-ounce cup with any sandwich without an additional fee.
For comparison, other sauce offerings at the fast food chain are only one ounce, making it a significant size increase for free.
The partnership between Burger King and Hidden Valley Ranch is available in person on October 16 at restaurants across seven cities in six states.
Customers in Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and San Francisco should be on the lookout at their local Burger King.
ONLINE ACCESS
Those who aren’t near those areas shouldn’t fret, however, as there is another option to get the “Big Dip” from anywhere across the country.
Hidden Valley Ranch is releasing supplies of the eight-ounce cups on its website starting at $1 at 11:00 am EST on October 16.
Inventory of the cups will also be continuously restocked through the same time on October 18.
It’s unclear if the “Big Dip” cups at the select Burger King restaurants across the seven cities will follow the same schedule, but it’s likely.
Interested customers should act fast after the initial release to get their hands on the Whopper sauce pairing before it’s gone for good.
Additionally, a one-ounce “regular sized Hidden Valley Ranch cup is here to stay at Burger King restaurants nationwide” after the “Big Dip” is gone, according to the release.
While fans of Hidden Valley Ranch and Burger King may be living out a dream scenario, some customers said they wish the fast food chain would’ve stuck with its former ranch recipe.
DIP DEBATE
“I miss their old ranch that was literally the only reason I still went there,” someone wrote in a Facebook thread about the collaboration.
“To dip my fries in THAT ranch. No longer have my business.”
Burger King History
Burger King, one of the most well-known fast-food chains globally, originated in the United States.
The company was founded in 1953 in Jacksonville, Florida, under the name Insta-Burger King.
The original concept was created by Keith J. Kramer and his wife’s uncle, Matthew Burns, who purchased the rights to two pieces of equipment called “Insta” machines.
However, the company struggled financially and was purchased in 1954 by two Miami-based franchisees, James McLamore and David Edgerton. They rebranded the company as Burger King and began to expand its operations.
McLamore and Edgerton are credited with developing the company’s signature product, the Whopper, in 1957, which helped to establish the brand’s identity and popularity.
Under their leadership, Burger King grew rapidly, eventually becoming a significant player in the fast-food industry.
The company continued to expand both domestically and internationally, becoming the global brand it is known as today.
Others questioned the cheeseburger and ranch combination, pointing to an eight-ounce cup of ketchup or Burger King’s zesty sauce as a better offering.
“Who dips their burger into ranch?” someone asked.
“Why can’t we get this for ketchup?!” another questioned.
“They need to do this with their zesty sauce lol,” added a third.
SPOOKY MENU
The Burger King and Hidden Valley Ranch collaboration also comes only days after the release of its Addams Family menu offerings on October 10.
It includes a Wednesday’s Whopper with purple buns, black sesame seeds, beef patty, tomatoes, lettuce, mayo, Swiss cheese, ketchup, onions, and pickles.
There are also Thing’s Rings onion rings with character-themed packaging, Gomez’s Churro Fries, and Morticia’s Kooky Chocolate Shake.
Prices for each item will vary by location, and the limited-time promition continues through November 10.
