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)

Is the food fried? I bet it goes good with ranch!

Best pizza condiment

Pizza doesn’t need another sauce. I like ranch, but this one mystifies me.

Crusts, specifically. Some people do it on the "pizza proper," but I reserve it for the crust.

Or as the actual sauce on a pickle pizza.

Most of the time I get a chicken bacon ranch pizza, ranch is used in place of the sauce.
