Putting ranch dressing on
everything, doesn't matter what it is nor the fact that you didn't even taste the food beforehand.
Because the food that someone had growing up or while away at college, either tasted so bad, or was such poor quality, that they had to hide the taste with
something else in order to make it palatable and they couldn't afford to not eat it.
i.e. ranch dressing or ketchup on burnt or over-cooked anything.
They also, in turn, have gotten
conditioned to eating this way so they still have to do this to almost all food they consume.
