Melinda’s Ghost Pepper Buffalo Ranch – OBITUARY REVIEW

Here lies Melinda’s Ghost Pepper Buffalo Ranch Creamy Dipping Sauce –

4.2/10

I don’t remember when I first got this, I think someone gave it to me as a gift. First, the full government name of this sauce is quite long. Secondly, I’m not here to hear about the Melinda’s/Marie Sharp debate. As you can tell by the score, I wasn’t really a fan of this one, and I don’t really have any stories for this, so let’s get into the review!

REVIEW: Keep in mind that I am a bit particular about ranch dressing. I’m not a fan generally, but it has its applications! I typically will only have it on some pizza and sometimes veggie trays if it’s the only option. Additionally, I am also extremely particular about ghost pepper as well. Some sauces have a bit too much of an earthy taste that lands somewhere between dirt and chemical for me. Unfortunately for this sauce, it has a weird chemical taste and the ranch itself is not good either. I’ve done a review of Melinda’s ghost pepper sauce, and that’s the first ingredient listed in this, and I didn’t enjoy that one either. Now, this wasn’t as tasteless as that sauce, in fact it was kind of the opposite. This one was an assault on the taste buds. There was such a disarray of flavors that didn’t sum up to “ranch” in my opinion. I simply cannot break down each flavor here. It was sweet, tangy, sour, spicy, acrid, buttery, creamy, floral, herbaceous, and salty all at once. I got through about half the bottle before tossing it away. I recommend trying it for yourself, though! Rest in Peace, Spicy Prince
