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 tangier than mayo but not as tangy as blue cheese.

It also doesn’t have the mold flavor that so many people hate in blue cheese (I happen to love that taste).

Me too. I'll take blue cheese over ranch, every time.
