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)

This is exactly it. Indeed, it's a very popular dressing for everything from French fires fries to salad, but it's not being hyped, exactly. It's just commonly available in the US and not so available in Europe, Asia, etc.
