Are you one of those people who likes to put ranch dressing on everything? If so, now you can put it on you, at least in a sense. Wingstop and Buff City Soap—both based in Dallas—have partnered to offer bars of “ranch-scented, ranch-inspired soaps,” complete with “faux veggie toppers” as seen above.
The two companies aim to celebrate something called National Ranch Day, otherwise known as tomorrow. The first 100 people in the U.S. who visit BatheinRanch.com beginning at 10 a.m. CT on Thursday, March 10, can claim the limited-edition “Bathe in Ranch” soap.
“Fans can’t get enough of our ranch. In fact, some love it so much they claim they’d take a bath in it. Flavor fans—here is your chance!” Michael Skipworth, Wingstop’s president and CEO, said in a statement. “But, if you’re a Wingstop fan and bathing in ranch isn’t your thing, don’t worry. We’re giving away free ranch in our restaurants on National Ranch Day.”
News of the offer comes just days after Buff City Soap named Dorvin Lively, who owns five of the brand’s stores in the Dallas area, as its new CEO.
