Two of these are absolutely not unusual in any way whatsoever (Pizza/Ranch, Hot Dog/Ketchup). So they stay, and shouldn't have even been included to be honest.
I've heard that Apple Pie/Cheese is good, and I've heard Fries/Milkshake is good.
However, ultimately, it comes down to one thing for me; the grotesquery of consumption in my mind's eye.
You can eat Apple Pie/Cheese with cutlery and in a non-gross way.
Fries/Milkshake, on the other hand? I can't help but picture the mess. The sloppiness, the salty, licked fingers in the milkshake. The temperature differences. Something about the image is sweaty and more than a little bit profane to me.
Fries/Milkshake has got to go, purely for violating my sense of decorum.
Pizza and ranch is incredibly unusual outside the US because that sauce doesn't exist anywhere else
I believe if you put ketchup on a hot dog in Chicago, you will drastically shorten your lifespan to minutes
The other two are just no
Oh I assumed Ranch was just like a sort of garlic herb sauce? We have that at most pizza places in the UK at least. You're right though, I honestly have no idea what Ranch is lol
So they’re kinda close but not really. Ranch has buttermilk so it’s tangier and is definitely its own flavor.
