Still out there. Still tasty. A perfect compromise of mayo and mustard.

When I was young, we passed a neighbor kid walking down the street, naked as a jaybird, and carrying a bottle of Durkee's. My grandmother commented: "His mother must have told him not to go outside without dressing."

All this time and they still don't have a spit-take emoji for times like this. :ohh:

So, which is it, salad dressing or mayonnaise? The two aren't the same thing.

Now apparently called Durkee Famous Sauce.
