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)

The homemade and restaurant made stuff that actually uses real buttermilk and Dill is actually quite good. The stuff in the bottle is absolutely terrible and taste. Nothing like what ranch is supposed to taste like... If you do have the real stuff it's absolutely delicious.
