Here’s how Pop Tarts replied when Hidden Valley proposed ranch flavored pastries
How much do you love ranch? Do you like the condiment enough to eat it for breakfast?
Earlier this week, Twitter user, @kheroff81, uploaded a photo of a fake box of Hidden Valley-flavored Pop Tarts. He wrote, "People say you can put ranch on anything."

The post, which was liked more than 5,000 times, sparked quite the conversation online. Several people hated the idea, calling it “gross” or “disgusting.” Some even jokingly proposed other odd Pop Tarts combinations.
Yeah ON things. Not IN things. Leave the breakfast pastry ALONE

But there were a few who were in favor of the collaboration. They were hoping to see the product on shelves soon.

What about a Hidden Valley Ranch Pop Tart? They've got to taste great!

Hidden Valley even got wind of the conversation and chimed in. The brand said it was willing to make it happen.

However, Pop Tarts was not. The company thought the idea was funny but was not interested.

Although Pop Tarts declined the partnership, it has previously released other interesting mashups, such as A&W Root Beer, Orange Crush and Reese’s flavors. Unfortunately, it seems ranch won’t be a part of that unique lineup.
