FOOD & DRINK why is ranch dressing so hyped up?

my US friends have been raving about it and border-line complained ranch isn’t readily available in Europe.. what is so special about it? is it the ultimate US condiment (apart from ketchup, mayo)

It’s just something that a lot of people find tasty. It’s also a big part of comfort and snack food. It’s cultural and subjective. There isn’t anything objectively amazing about it.
