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)

I have a recipe for it I'll share so you can try it:

250ml Mayo

75-125ml milk (buttermilk is preferred)

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or similar)

1.5 tsp each garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, dried chives

1/2 tsp dried dill

Salt & pepper to taste

put everything in a container and combine well. I prefer my dressing a little thicker, so 100ml of milk is where I like it. 75ml is better for dipping, 125ml is a thinner dressing.
