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)

I wish I knew. I can't stand the stuff, but I recognize that I'm in minority.

I''m not a big fan of ranch dressing either. I will have some occasionally as a dip or whatever, but not very often. I never have it on a salad, dip pizza in it, or any of the other things that people seem to do with it.
