"RANCH SHOULD BE A HUMAN RIGHT" World Cup Fans Just Discovered American Food And Lost Their Minds

"RANCH SHOULD BE A HUMAN RIGHT" World Cup Fans Just Discovered American Food And Lost Their Minds This week, the Transportation Security Administration officially reminded World Cup tourists to pack their bottles of ranch dressing in their checked bags — a real advisory, issued because so many international visitors have fallen in love with the stuff. A million fans came to America for soccer, and the loudest culture shock of the tournament has not been the stadiums. It has been the menu. "The portion sizes for meals here are literally insane," one visitor wrote in a post with thousands of upvotes. "I ordered a medium drink and it looks like a whole bucket." A British tourist compared his Chipotle burrito to a little baby. And one European summed up the entire genre in a single line: "Buc-ee's blew my mind, ranch dressing should be a human right, and the portion sizes are hilarious." This is Episode 1 of the Cup Theory Food Culture Shock series. From Buc-ee's — which the world has decided is a national monument, and which made Freddy, the German superfan from our earlier videos, post simply "DUDE LMAO THIS IS A GAS STATION" — to Waffle House opening a World Cup pop-up shop in downtown Atlanta, to the London fan discovering Chick-fil-A ("The sauces are free! It was remarkable... My God, was it fantastic"), to the Japanese visitor whose biscuits-and-gravy review became instant literature ("In my land, the eye eats first. A meal is arranged like a garden. This meal was arranged like weather"), to Terry Black's Barbecue running its Texas smokers 24 hours a day while Argentine fans hoot and holler and praise the brisket. Not everyone is buying the fairy tale — some British visitors insist portions aren't so different anymore, some suspect creators of exaggerating for clicks, and New York University researchers have traced America's ballooning portions back to the 1970s. But the fairest review of the tournament came from one visiting fan, caught between honesty and politeness: "the portions are a little bit larger, a lot more tastier... I don't want to be harsh, but yes, the food is fantastic here." Too much, too good, and impossible to stop talking about. And tonight, the country that invented the bottomless refill plays Belgium for a spot in the quarterfinals.
