Once and for all this needs to be settled...

Two months ago, we published some landmark research on which part of a chicken wing people preferred most. While we are still waiting on news of our Pulitzer Prize nomination for this masterpiece, our crackpot team of scientists have delved into another polarizing chicken wing debate: Blue Cheese or Ranch?

To explore this exciting frontier in consumer research, we polled 1,401 Americans over the age of 13, to see which dipping medium was most popular and among whom. Here’s what we found:

Ranch vs Blue Cheese

Quote

As we can see, ranch dressing is a clear winner in the head-to-head battle, grabbing 61% of the popular vote. Blue cheese, believed by wing purists to be the original accompaniment, comes in a distant second, with just 39% of the vote.

So let’s look at who chooses one creamy dip over the other. There are some pretty clear correlations:

First, it’s interesting to note that the numbers don’t vary at all by gender. Men and women, respectively, fall identically in line. But that’s where the demographic similarities end.

Younger respondents clearly favor ranch. 71% of people aged 18-29 side with ranch dressing, as do 65% of people aged 30-34. Blue cheese earns its highest numbers among GenXers, with 45% of people aged 35-54 picking the overall less popular dip.

Nowhere do the numbers break more clearly than those based on household income. Blue cheese popularity spikes among people making over $75,000 in annual income. In fact, people making between $100-125k are evenly split, with a full 50% choosing blue cheese. Conversely, ranch sees its highest numbers among people making less than $25,000 annually – 74% of these people choose ranch. Similarly, we see one major correlation with respondent education. People with only a high school degree or GED choose ranch over blue cheese 74-26.

Slightly counter-intuitive (given the age and income numbers) is the split we see among people with different political persuasions. Republicans are actually far more likely to prefer ranch (66%) compared to Democrats who choose ranch only 55% of the time. Independents look more like Republicans, picking ranch 65% of the time.

And there are a couple groups of consumers out there who choose blue cheese over ranch, absolutely. Sports fans, namely those people who watch more than 5 hours of sports on TV every week, pick blue cheese over ranch 57-43. So, maybe sports bars see a more even division in their inventory.

Finally, when we looked at respondents who have told us they “love to cook,” we found that avid home chefs choose blue cheese over ranch at a rate of 52% to 48%. This would seem to support the purists’ claims about which is the truly gourmand’s chicken wing accompaniment.

So there you have it. If you prefer ranch to blue cheese you are young, stupid, poor, a republican and not as much of a sports fan as your blue cheese brethren. So take a seat you filthy casuals cause blue cheese is here to fuging stay. #KeepDipping

It's funny because I LOVE Blue Cheese Crumbles (or is it bleu?), and can't stand ranch like on a salad, but for mango habanero wings I love the ranch and the blue cheese just doesn't taste right. 

I can't stand when people say it's "bleu". Take your Grey Poupon and jump off a bridge. Elitist scum.

ranch.

BUT i recently baked a chicken-topped pizza and added bleu cheese crumbles into it and it was divine, so maybe there's something to it.

Do not stray my brother. Stay on the path.

      WR drops

      By frankw · Posted

      I don't think we need to argue over the existence of the drops. Look at the film. Instead of arguing about was this a drop or was that a drop we should be looking at the throws from Bryce and recognizing the fact that there are so many 50/50 balls and passes that receivers have to make physical adjustments to even attempt to haul in. You cannot just put everything on the receiver at all times. For the WR to have success the QB has to be able to more often than not put them in a position to succeed. And we also have to be able to acknowledge when the QB is putting the receiver in jeopardy and that did happen Sunday particularly with Renfrow. I mean even a guy like TMac with his catch radius has faced a challenge hauling in passes from Young. And we're pretty hyped about him. Legette and Sanders I will say have underwhelmed. That's something the head coach needs to sort out. But we still have a really good RB room and we have the highest paid OL for 2025 by a significant margin. Nobody here even necessarily expected Bryce and the team to win many games. They just expected to see competency and something really anything to build on going forward. What we did not want to see was multiple steps back again. And with the investments that have been made there's really no excuse.

      I firmly believe that ship is sailed.  When he came out for his presser, I literally just watched it thinking how the guys in that locker room feel listening to this same poo every week.  Sure, there are other shitty players on this roster, and definitely some coaches, but when the one guy on the field whose play can make or break your day is consistently atrocious, where they’re doing poo like Dan shows in this breakdown…. Bro, we’re in year 3 and you don’t recognize they’re in zone and a defender is waiting to break on the pass you just stared down for 2 seconds?  And okay, that happens to every QB from time to time, but again, we’re in year 3, and you did it not once, but multiple times in one game.  Somebody else shared in a thread yesterday, I think it was, that the Jags didn’t even run anything exotic.  They didn’t blitz.  They didn’t try to confuse him.  They literally ran zone the majority of the game and rushed 4.  And the poo he did in this breakdown, especially that throw to Renfrow, looked, from memory, exactly like the picks he threw to Jessie Bates repeatedly.  So imagine that guy coming in the locker room and trying to say anything to you.  Even if it’s an apology.  I don’t want to hear it.  You are costing us a chance to win, and if you know you’re not capable of doing better, fall on your sword and take your ass to the bench.  That’s what a good teammate would do.  A shitty one keeps going out there selfishly doing the same dumb poo he’s been doing.  And Dan didn’t even show the scramble to stumble to fumble, which also seems like Bryce has done more times than I’ve ever seen one player do in my life already.  It’s just comedic at this point that anyone is still pretending he is anything but what he’s shown to be.  I really just wish he would bow out and give the players who are actually doing their job a fuging chance.

      I think he has a chance and his mental makeup is a big part of why. I also think the Bears got a little complacent over the course of that game because the Vikings were completely inept on offense for most of it and once it started clicking for the Vikings the Bears couldn't get their head in the game and realize they had to wakeup and dial in again.
