Hot dog and ketchup? Aren’t ketchup and mustard like, the standard condiments on a hot dog?

Hot dog and ketchup is weird then I don’t want to be normal

I feel like the apple pie one has got to be one of those engagement bait things.
I've heard of the other three, but surely that's not actually a thing.

Whenever I heard about apple pie with cheese, my brain always pictured cream cheese or ricotta/mascarpone or whatever. People are really out here melting cheddar over their apple pies?!

I will die on the hot dog hill of eating a glizzy with ketchup.

Where in the US is it abnormal to have ketchup on hot dogs? This is completely standard where I live. Like if you order a hot dog and don’t specify anything else, you will get ketchup on it.

All of these are actually good and mostly rely on combining sweet and savory flavors to different degrees. Three of them are also foods that are associated with being poor and déclassé.

Personally never really been into ranch on pizza or in general, but I begrudgingly respect that it works.

The one I'll really stick up for is apple (or other sweet fruit filling) pie with cheese. It's really tight to have something like a swiss to cut the sweetness and round out the flavor profile there.

I'll eat all these in one full-course meal

The coastal elites will never understand our Midwestern appreciation for ranch on everything

Milkshake & fries is so good though

You'll have to pry my hotdog and ketchup from my cold, dead butthole

Apple pie without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze

Ranch belongs on nothing, it belongs in the trash.

People: have you tried this cheese with a Ritz cracker and some fig jam? It’s so wonderful and high class

Also people: CHEESE ON AN APPLE PIE? YOU DONUT

ranch on pizza can go because growing up, I used to get joked on because I thought it was DISGUSTING and all my cracker ass friends would be like "no you just haven't had it with the right ranch it has to be a HOUSE ranch" (wtf do you mean by 'house ranch' Steve, literally every restaurant is probably using the same goddamn hidden valley packets or whatever)

they'd order breadsticks with ranch??? no dip them in fucking marinara or spaghetti sauce, not fucking ranch what is wrong with you

Had 4/4 of these and they are all decent food combinations that exist for a reason, even if they won't be mainstream.

I've had weirder combos, like peanut butter and pickle sandwiches.

Weird they didn't add cinnamon rolls and chili

There are ways to make any of these work really really well, aside from a hot dog with only ketchup. I'll ketchup a dog but mustard NEEDS to be there, I hate the taste of solo ketchup. Ranch, like just about anything else can be made good and also it's about the pizza. Trash pizza (chain takeout or frozen) demands some other bullshit with it and it should be equally crappy. Before being vegan I would for sure smash a really shitty 4 cheese frozen pizza and add ranch and Sriracha. Shitty food can be delicious and has its place. I'm an amazing cook, been doing it for 14 years as a job and have mostly done higher end stuff, I can whip up amazing stuff from scratch pretty quick...but sometimes that isn't what you're I'm the mood for, and I'm not even talking laziness. Sometimes the hankering is for the shittiest version of a food. That's fine, eat bad good from time to time, it's fun.

ALL MUST GO

Who must go?

AAGGHHGHH

I'm Mexican, before the free trade agreement pizza used to come with a vail of ranch, tho sometimes it was called curry. Then the American companies came and as far as I know those do not have the ranch vail. So I think not puting ranch on it is the white people take.

I've had 3/4 of these. Ranch on pizza is delicious and french fries dipped in milkshake is a solid way to speed run diabetes. Ketchup on a hotdog is honestly my least favorite out of the bunch even though it's the most normal. Cheese in or on apple pie also sounds like it could be good.
