Bottle change confusing
Oh, those wily manufacturers. Sometimes I think they change packaging just to keep us on our toes, but it can have a negative effect if those familiar with their products no longer are able to find them. And that appears to be the case with Marzetti’s slaw dressing, being sought by Monica C. McAdams.
Debbie Caponera and Donna Shoulhoub e-mailed that they found it at Glazier’s Food Marketplace, 8525 W. Warm Springs Road, and Caponera also found it at Smith’s at 10100 W. Tropicana Ave. Libby Casolari said it’s available at Vons, and Darlene Howard reported finding it at local supermarkets, although she noted that it’s now in a bottle with a different shape and no longer is sold refrigerated, as it once was, but in the regular salad-dressing section. “After you chill in the refrigerator, it tastes exactly the same,” she said. …
