Hidden Valley teamed up with Burt's Bees to create chicken wing-inspired lip balm

Cheezy Ranch is not the first collaboration for Hidden Valley Ranch in 2024.

The collaboration started when "fans responded so enthusiastically" to an April Fools social media post in 2022 featuring Hidden Valley Ranch lip balm, according to Mariah Eckhardt, general manager at Burt's Bees.
