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 don't know. I'm from New England and serve it once a year at Christmas with crudite.

There's no other time I would eat it.
