Kansas and Missouri are Most Obsessed with Which Condiment? (And, No—it’s Not Ranch Dressing.)


When it comes to brand-name condiments, who’s on top? Seems our neighbors to the north of us in Iowa are preoccupied with Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing. Shockingly (or not so shocking), the two states to the south, Oklahoma and Arkansas, also have an unholy affinity for all things ranch.

But what specific condiment brands top the list in Kansas and Missouri? Well, it sure as heck isn’t—ugh!—ranch. We’re way more original than that. The fine folks at Influenster—a leading product ratings and reviews community with more than 30 million reviews—went out of their way to analyze more than 50,000 reviews across its platform to determine which spread/schmear/sauce is the most buzzworthy in each state.


Seems Kansas likes to slather—of all things—Country Crock Buttery Spreads on everything. Sounds about right. We’d put butter on an aspirin if we could. Country Crock fanatics seem to love the product’s “delicious oils, purified water and a pinch of salt.” Um, okay. Whatever floats your boat, kids.


Missouri, on the other hand, are all about French’s Classic Yellow Mustard. Well, we do consume our weight in burgers, brats and hot dogs. And with a heavy dose of German-influencing throughout the state, it seems only apropos. Valerie D. of Springfield, MO gave French’s Classic a glowing five-star review on Influencer.com saying, “This is the only mustard brand I will purchase. Has such a great flavor and will not try any other brand. Will continue to purchase and recommend this brand/mustard.” Good stuff, Valerie. Good stuff!
