With many tourists from other countries visiting the U.S. during the 2026 World Cup, people from around the world are discovering the wonders America has to offer. Apparently, that includes learning about ranch dressing.
So much so that the TSA has put out a notice reminding travelers that all liquids exceeding 3.4 ounces, including any condiments, should be packed in check baggage, not in carry-ons.
“Who knew dip-lomacy could be achieved through addressing the obvious: ranch is the king of condiments,” the TSA writes in an Instagram post. “The world is slowly discovering ranch pairs perfectly with pizza, chicken wings, fries, onion rings, quesadillas, crackers, chips, vegetables, and the list just keeps growing.”
“Are you kicking around the idea of flying home with your favorite dip?” the post continues. “If you’re traveling within the U.S., make sure to keep your carry-on sauces to 3.4oz or less and place any larger containers in your checked bags.”
Whether in checked bags or carry-ons, we admire the bravery of any traveler willing to put a container of ranch of any size in the same place you’ve packed your clothing. We hope no spills are in your future.
