We were having dinner at our cousin Stacey's house in Auburn, NE, where we were introduced to Dorothy Lynch salad dressing and the particular attachment many Nebraskans seem to have for this product which appears to be totally their own. Stacy was telling us stories about Cornhuskers who have found themselves washed up on the shores of cities far from home and were shocked to find there was no Dorothy Lynch on the shelves of their local supermarket and had to have an emergency shipment sent from home. Having nothing better to do while traveling the broad expanse of grassland between Auburn and Valentine, NE, and having just eaten at a nice restaurant whose owner confided to us that one of the "secret ingredients" in a certain recipe was Dorothy Lynch, we came up with the following ad copy.
People often ask me: “What does Nebraska taste like?”
“Why it tastes just like Dorothy Lynch salad dressing,” I tell them,
“Sweet, honest, and unpretentious.”
Made and sold only in Nebraska - Didn’t see it anywhere else, not even in Kansas or Iowa.
We’ve been told that many Nebraskans don’t leave the state without it.
Pablo likes his on the rocks with a twist of lemon. Most other Cornhuskers like theirs on a bed of iceberg lettuce with some cucumbers and onions.
Use your imagination and ENJOY!!!
