As Little Debbie’s Twitter feed put it, “There are times when people need to be saved from themselves.”
That time was earlier this week, when a Twitter user’s suggestion that Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing and Pop-Tarts team up gained far too much traction on the social-media platform.
Far be it from the folks at Hidden Valley to challenge the notion that you can put ranch on anything.
Hey @PopTartsUS - let's have some fun and give the the people what they want ? https://t.co/ULZrNEvUnG

Reaction was swift and merciless from across the Twitterverse.

Many Twitter users wisely chose to immediately try and wipe the thought from their minds.

Luckily for all of us — and possibly for mankind in general — Pop-Tarts and their parent company Kellogg had their wits about them, tweeting “lol no” back at the Hidden Valley folks.
