Ranch dressing style, we mean.

People are SO WILD about ranch dressing, there's already a wait list for most of these items.

What can you get? A fleece throw blanket or a notebook adorned with bottles of ranch dressing? This is a must-shop for anyone who's obsessed with ranch.

And so many people are.

For instance, celebs like Melissa McCarthy and Courteney Cox  chug it. Chrissy Teigen loves it.  Olivia Wilde adores Harry Styles AND her beloved tater tots and ranch. Katy Perry insists on ranch in her backstage rider.

Known as "America’s favorite ranch dressing," Hidden Valley Ranch has an interesting origin:

According to Thrillist.com, contract plumber Steve Henson started cooking for his coworkers and perfecting his buttermilk dressing recipe.

"Five years later he moved to California with his wife Gayle and bought a ranch," the website reported.

"His famous buttermilk dressing soon became a staple at the dinner table of Hidden Valley Ranch and before long the Hensons started selling it to guests and local supermarkets. Over two decades later in 1972, the couple sold their name and recipe to Clorox for $8 million. Not bad for a little buttermilk, mayo, and herbs."

Also, Did you know the average American consumes salad dressing 38 times a year?

Fifteen of those 38 are served up with ranch dressing. Ranch is  by far the most consumed dressing in the United States? Italian dressing comes in a pathetic second and is eaten six out of 38 times. Not even close. Crazy!
