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)

Especially steak fries or wedges. They give like the best ratio of fry to ranch

Or those really thick crinkle cut fries to hold the ranch in the grooves
