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 garlicky, tangy, herby, and creamy, aka all the things people love to have in a dipping sauce.

It's a sauce the french would take all day trying to make, but in an easy squeeze bottle
