Available exclusively at one Atlanta bakery in time for the city’s semifinal soccer match, while supplies last
DENVER, July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ranch dressing just had a breakout moment on social media, and Einstein Bros. Bagels, America’s largest retail bagel chain, is now offering a limited-time Ranch Shmear. The Ranch Shmear layers the bold, tangy taste of ranch into its signature double-whipped cream cheese and is available exclusively in Atlanta, while supplies last.
Social Media Inspires Shmear
What started as international soccer fans discovering one of America’s favorite condiments for the first time turned into a viral sensation across social platforms, with ranch suddenly becoming the flavor everyone wanted to try.
