World Cup Fans May Be Flying Home with Ranch Dressing: TSA Issues Guidance
The TSA said larger bottles must go in checked bags or be discarded, after viral videos showed international fans wanting to take ranch home.
- On Tuesday, the Transportation Security Administration issued humorous guidance addressing international soccer fans attempting to transport bottles of ranch dressing home, reminding travelers that containers exceeding 3.4 ounces must be packed in checked luggage.
- European visitors attending the 2026 FIFA World Cup have embraced American culture, discovering ranch dressing—a creamy mix of buttermilk, mayonnaise, herbs, and spices—and documenting their desire to bring the condiment home as souvenirs.
- Under federal liquid guidelines, officials explained that containers exceeding 3.4 ounces require checked bags, while the TSA joked, "Yeah, soooo your carry-on wasn't actually made for 4 bottles of ranch & a taser."
- Kraft Foods responded to the craze by announcing a travel-friendly "TSA Compliant Ranch" kit featuring single-use packets in a clear, quart-sized bag designed for tourists seeking to bring American flavor home.
- Fans are also exploring other local culinary staples like Waffle House and Taco Bell, reflecting a broader fascination with American life during the tournament's month-long stay across the country.
