[edit] Shelf life

Does anyone know if salad cream lasts noticeably longer than plain mayonnaise and for what reason this might be? My grandmother has always kept open salad cream bottles out of the fridge, and they seem to last for ages. However, I'm sure mayonnaise would go off in less than 24 hours. Could it be the vinegar maybe? If anyone can confirm that it lasts longer and give an explanation I wouldn't mind adding it to the article. Daniel Medina 08:02, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Haven't got a bottle to hand, but I'm pretty sure there's no egg in the recipe; maybe that's why?79.66.189.112 (talk) 00:56, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Marketing Ploy(?) to discontinue salad cream?

At [1] I ran into the following quote: "rumoured demise of salad cream" and thought it might be worth adding to the article. However, this was the closest I got to a WP:RS on the subject. Search engines produced any number of message board mentions, such as: [2] [3] [4] [5] (search for "salad cream" in those pages as needed). But has anyone documented this (at a minimum, what year this alleged announcement took place)? Has it made it to any of the urban legends web sites, or any similar researcher of folklore, the history of business, etc? Kingdon 19:46, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] U.S. Nutritional Information ?

Can anyone provide accurate United States nutritional information for both the Salad Cream and Salad Cream Light products? I contacted the U.S. consumer help line, (800)255-5750, however as it is not distributed in the U.S. they could not help me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.104.63.94 (talk) 18:51, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use image?

Could we include an image? Would the one here constitute fair use? http://www.heinz.co.uk/products/heinz_salad_cream.aspx samwaltz (talk) 19:28, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
