Hidden Valley Ranch’s nightmarish alternate reality
First of all, kudos to whoever captured the glorious image above, and whoever created the amazing invention pictured. That is indeed a ranch dressing fountain. What I wouldn’t give for one of those…think how easily you could coat a pizza slice!
Anyway, the recent commercials for Hidden Valley Ranch are quite disturbing. They present a terrifying dystopia wherein children and teenagers are doing normal everyday activities, like eating junk food, but all of the junk food has been replaced by similar-looking vegetables. The first ad takes place at the fair and includes a salad eating contest, among other out-of-place scenes. But the second ad is even more bizarre, showing children apparently pleased that their piñata is filled not with delicious candy, but with individually wrapped vegetables. This seems like something that would happen in one of those time travel stories when somebody accidentally kills the guy who invented candy or something. Noooooooo!
