[01]

Overview

The creator responds to a comment asking about Hidden Valley Ranch merchandise by presenting his own hypothetical, redesigned merch collection. He first criticizes the brand's current offerings, then showcases a series of modern and creative product mockups on his computer monitor, including hoodies, t-shirts, swim trunks, a candle, a cologne, a vase, and a collaboration with Jellycat. He concludes with a direct call-to-action for the brand to collaborate with him.

Transcript

Cool shit, I do for Hidden Valley Ranch. I do a whole new merch collection because this ain't it. Starting off strong with the rank hoodie, perfectly created to look exactly like the rank. And it comes in packaging that looks exactly like the seasoning mix. This t shirt for the people that put ranch on everything, the Hidden Valley swim trunks, the ranch candle. This hoodie with the original logo that says the best ranch in the valley. This t shirt worse the cowboys holding on to the bottle. I would do a jelly cat collab where the first one is a buffalo wing covered in rank. And then I had to do a celery stick. A tier shirt that says good ranch, and then they would have to drop this ad with it. Experience the Hidden Valley with the rank cologne, and then a ranch bottle ceramic vase. Hidden Valley. Let's make this happen.
