Fraud Alert.
There are no French people in French fries. Coal miners are not made of coal. There is no pumpkin in pumpkin spice! However, a surprising fact is that Ranch Dressing was indeed invented -- at a ranch!
I know the topic of salad dressings is controversial, but I just had to post this. Next - Elon Musk. He does not even remotely smell like musk. Some say he smells like Ranch dressing.

French fries,
also known as fries, chips, or finger chips, are deep-fried strips of potatoes that are typically salted and served as a snack or side dish (Wikipedia). Despite their name, French fries did not originate from French people. The term "French" in French fries refers to the cutting style—thin strips of potato—or the French culinary technique of frying, not the nationality of the food (Cooking is Cool).
The origin of French fries is debated between France and Belgium. Some historians claim that Belgian villagers in the Meuse Valley first fried potatoes in the 17th century as a substitute for small fish during winter, while others argue that street vendors in Paris sold fried potatoes in the late 18th century (History Cooperative; Monsieur de France; FrenchClass). The name "French fries" became popular in the United States, especially after American soldiers stationed in French-speaking Belgium during World War I called them "French fries" due to the language spoken in the region (Cooking is Cool).
In short, French fries are simply fried potatoes, and the "French" part of the name is about the cooking style, not the ingredients. They are enjoyed worldwide in various forms, from thin shoestring fries to thick-cut Belgian-style fries, often served with sauces like ketchup, mayonnaise, or vinegar.
Pumkin Spice:
Pumpkin spice does not actually contain significant amounts of pumpkin. Classic pumpkin spice mixes are made up of dried spices that provide the characteristic flavors associated with pumpkin dishes. However, Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte contains 2% real pumpkin puree since 2015
Ranch Dressing:
Where Ranch Dressing Was Invented
Ranch dressing was not invented at a ranch in the sense of being created on a working cattle ranch, but it was developed and popularized at Hidden Valley Ranch in Santa Barbara County, California, in the early 1950s Wikipedia+1.
The original recipe was created in the early 1950s by Steve Henson, a plumbing contractor from Nebraska who worked in Alaska and later moved to California with his wife Gayle Wikipedia+1. While working as a plumber in Alaska, Henson was cooking for his coworkers and perfecting a buttermilk-based dressing. In 1956, he and his wife purchased a guest ranch in San Marcos Pass, California, and renamed it Hidden Valley Ranch
