The [Wingstop Big](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wingstop-uki-big-ranch) A$$ Ranch [Cup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cup-noodles-wings) has been launched by the brand with National Ranch Day (March 10) in mind to help avid fans mark the holiday and also enjoy ample amounts of their favorite dipping sauce. The cup features a large 32-ounce capacity that's crafted out of stainless steel and comes filled with the brand's signature house-made ranch. The sauce cup comes in at twice the size of the brand's [largest dipping sauce menu item](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-gold-dunk-cup) and comes individually numbered to further increase the limited-edition nature of the collectible.

Chief Brand Officer Donnie Upshaw spoke on the Wingstop Big A$$ Ranch Cup saying, "Yes, it’s 32 ounces of ranch. Our fans turned our housemade ranch into a phenomenon, and when the love is this real, subtlety doesn’t make sense. For National Ranch Day, there’s no better way to celebrate than matching their obsession.”
