Uniquely American?

What is considered to be uniquely or traditionally American? As I spend my time in Ukraine I think of the traditional Ukrainian foods I want to try or their traditional dance and clothes. But then I think what does the United States have unique to itself. So far all I've come up with is our uniquely American flavor... ranch salad dressing. There really isn't anything else like it, and I can't say that I've seen anywhere outside the U.S. There is also American football and baseball, but they both seem to mimic other sports (rugby and cricket respectively).

Sure there are things like blue jeans and Coke, which originated in the U.S., but has since permeated throughout the world. If you have another things which may be considered traditionally American, I'd love to hear the suggestion.

Oh and by the way, Ranch was created on a dude ranch outside of Santa Barbara, California in case you were wondering.
