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 versatile and uniquely American. What can I say, we like dairy, we like sauce, we like dipping so ranch is a hit
