Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who does not like ranch flavoring. To a lesser degree, I don't like apple pie either. Like, if I was served a slice of apple pie and courtesy required me to at least eat a few bites, I would. But I would absolutely not if it was a dish, say, covered in ranch dressing.

ranch

Ranch dressing is okay wirh me as a vegetable dip, but outside that, I'm not a big fan either.

As a chip dip, it's pretty bland; I'd rather use guacamole or salsa or something.

Dipping things like fried chicken in ranch dressing is just bizzare to me. Doesn't work from a temperature or flavor standpoint for me.

I can't think of many things that are ranch-flavored other than a few fried snacks like chips. I don't think that they're bad, but also not that great.

It's apparently popular as a salad dressing:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranch_dressing

In 2017, 40% of Americans named ranch as their favorite dressing, according to a study by the Association for Dressings and Sauces.[3] Ranch dressing is most prominently used in the Midwest region.

As a salad dressing, it's not especially offensive, but it also seems pretty uninteresting to me. Not much flavor to it. I'd rather have caesar or blue cheese.
