During an interview on EW's 3 Rounds video series, Melissa McCarthy looked back on her 2011 "SNL" sketch — one performed during the first of her first times as host — where she plays an enthusiastic Hidden Valley Ranch fan named Linda, one of three consumers asked to taste test some new products.

Though McCarthy said that she is a huge fan of Hidden Valley Ranch, she revealed that she did not actually drink it during her sketch. She discovered the probiotic yogurt drink Kefir and decided to use it as a ranch substitute, acknowledging that "when you're shotgunning it down your throat," the difference isn't that significant.

"When I think about it, I kinda really love ranch," McCarthy adds. "So I don't know that I couldn't have just [drank ranch dressing]… but there's a lot of logistics to that."
