Why ?? Are they changing it’s name to Sandwich Cream ????

104 years it’s been salad cream

Are they? What a waste of effort?!

marjorie25 · 05/06/2018 17:08

I use to love it, but since they started using canola oil, I stopped buying it.

WalkingOnAFlashlightBeam · 05/06/2018 17:08

Who is?

It’ll always be salad cream, whatever is written on the bottle :P

AuntFidgetWonkhamStrongNajork · 05/06/2018 17:09

So people don't use it on salads so they are changing it to say sandwich cream? It's not sodding cream either is it?

raeray · 05/06/2018 17:09

Bloody pointless stupidness!!
It's salad cream, just as it's still oil of Ulay to me WinkGrin

Cornettoninja · 05/06/2018 17:09

I now want salad cream.....

No idea what would possess them to rename it? Is it to crossover to the American market I wonder?

SilentBob · 05/06/2018 17:10

Sandwich cream sound rude to me somehow. Like a porn alternative.

Talith · 05/06/2018 17:10

To be fair I never put it on an actual salad. Crisp sandwich tick, cheese sandwich tick, egg mayo sandwich tick.

Fun fact: in America their equivalent is called Miracle Whip. So I'm told...

SilentBob · 05/06/2018 17:10

@raeray And Jif will never be Cif!

CremeEggThief · 05/06/2018 17:10

Eh? Really?

Narya · 05/06/2018 17:11

In fairness I put it in sandwiches far more often than I put it on salad. But I'm amazed they'd bother changing the name. Didn't Heinz threaten to get rid of it altogether a few years back?

SilentBob · 05/06/2018 17:11

@Talith I put it on a salad just yesterday eve. I'm not a mayo fan.

Is the Whip to be pronounced at all times with the whhhhhhhhhhhhhh? If so, I approve!

ajandjjmum · 05/06/2018 17:12

And while we're at it - it's a Marathon, not Snickers.

strayducks18 · 05/06/2018 17:12

Classic Coronation Street is a guilty pleasure of mine. Ivy Tilsey never fails to have a bottle of it on the table at every meal. Maybe they are trying to quietly kill off Sandwich Spread and think noone will notice because they are confused Shock

Whatshallidonowpeople · 05/06/2018 17:13

Miracle whip is nothing like salad cream.

ShovingLeopard · 05/06/2018 17:13

I haven't had salad cream for at least 25 years, but I fancy some now!

JuicySwan · 05/06/2018 17:14

Salad Cream.
Marathon.
Jif.
And bloody Opal Fruits.

BlueSapp · 05/06/2018 17:14

opal fruits not star bursts either, such a waste of time renaming these things.

theycallmebabydriver · 05/06/2018 17:15

Who is?

Big salad cream. It's a conspiracy

strayducks18 · 05/06/2018 17:15

No it was sandwich spread that got canned and there was a mini uproar so everywhere stocks 2 jars a year to keep people quiet

BlueSapp · 05/06/2018 17:15

Miracle whip is a brand of mayonnaise

BlueSapp · 05/06/2018 17:16

I actually like sandwich spread.

ilovepixie · 05/06/2018 17:16

I still say jif marathon and opal fruits!

lardymclardy · 05/06/2018 17:17

Stupid name. They could have at least changed it to squirt it on your fishfingers cream. Catchy eh?

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 05/06/2018 17:17

Mmm salad cream. I use it to make rice salad.
