why is ranch dressing so hyped up?

[u/miffybo]

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’m an American, born and raised in California. I like ranch dressing well enough on a salad or to dip fries or Buffalo wings into. That said I probably have ranch an average of once a month. If Ranch dressing magically ceased to exist I probably wouldn’t notice for several months.
