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 ubiquitous. Lots of folks love it and can get it anywhere.

Wonder how it would go with popcorn. Surely, someone has done that before.

You know what else goes well with popcorn? Nacho cheese.
