Paul Newman has died.
Does anyone know if the range of Paul Newman salad dressings will
continue?
Thanks.
Julia Altshuler
Yes, it will.

Of course they will.

All of Newman's products should continue. IIRC, all profits from the sale
of his products were funneled back to his foundations/charities, and I
believe one of his daughters is chiefly involved in administering these.

"Today, Newman’s Own is a thriving company with hundreds of millions of
dollars in annual revenue. As always, all profits are donated to charity
through Newman's Own Foundation. We will miss Paul, but we will honor
his vision for the Common Good through dedicated stewardship of his
company that will perpetuate his philanthropic legacy. Paul wouldn’t
have it any other way."
Here in Oz we have this push to "buy Australian"....... but I always buy
Newmans dressings and sauces becase a) they taste bloody great, and b) I
know the profits are going to go to charity...... for real.
I will continue to buy them.

Do you, Corey, have reason to believe otherwise??? Why do you doubt
Paul Newman's vast philantropic businesses would discontinue? He was a
man who gave back more than he ever received.

Why wouldn't they? It's not like he personally had been mixing up the
salad dressings and pouring them into bottles out back in the
kitchen.
He did base the original "Newmans Own" vinaigrette on the salad
dressing recipe he developed in his own kitchen, but at this point,
it's just his name on the bottles, nothing more. There's absolutely no
reason for the brand to disappear.
Newman and his friend author A.E. Hotchner (Papa Hemingway, King Of
The Hill, Everyone Comes To Elaine’s) started Newman’s Own as a bit of
a lark.
For years, the two men had been making salad dressing and giving it
away as Christmas gifts when they went caroling in their Connecticut
neighbourhood.
They decided to try to market the salad dressing, starting out by
placing it in local shops, and after getting friends to do taste tests
they settled on a single product: an oil-and-vinegar salad dressing.
Newman put his picture on the label, apparently as a joke, and then he
convinced a friend in the grocery business to get the ball rolling by
taking a few thousands cases.
Various grocery consultants and marketing experts were all very happy
to warn Newman that he could only lose money, and lots of it, with his
tiny new business, but Newman’s Own Olive Oil & Vinegar Salad Dressing
made a profit its first year out. The company then grew in leaps and
bounds, and as Newman food fans know, the single salad dressing was
joined by other dressings, spaghetti sauces, salsa and lemonade, among
other products. (We recommend the Newman’s Own grape juice.)
About 15 years ago, Newman’s daughter Nell helped the company branch
out with a new line of organic products that includes organic dog and
cat food.

I love Joanne Woodward's story about going out to a restaurant and having
Paul take his salad to the wash room and rinse it so he could apply his own
mix.

Dave,
When you "step up to the plate" in baseball it means you're in the game!
Not just sitting in the dugout the whole game (OR season). "Moreso" means
she'll be in the game (biz) a lot more than usual.
Now when YOU step up to the plate for dinner, that could only mean NO

http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/step+up+to+the+plate
step up to the plate
to take responsibility for doing something. It is time companies stepped up
to the plate and made sure the meat they sell is safe to eat.
Related vocabulary: step in
Etymology: based on the baseball meaning of step up to the plate (= move
into position to hit the ball)
See also: plate, step

Thanks for that. As I understand it, it comes from baseball. I can now

What convenient, short term would you use to distinguish citizens of the
USA from others on the American continents?

Andy
Every country comprising all the "Americas" fly their own flags that
distinguishes them as unique and individual nations. For Brazil, we know
them as Brazilian. Peru, Peruvians, Argentina, Argentineans. Would a
Brazilian say he was from South America without losing a sense of their
national pride?
A similar example can be drawn with Asia and Asians. It's a general thing
when speaking collectively about the Far East countries. But we distinguish
them as unique and individual nations. Chinese for China, Japanese for
Japan, etc.
You wouldn't call a travel agent and book a flight to Tokyo, Asia or
Acapulco, Central America, or Montreal, North America would you?!
BTW, American is only four syllables, USAians is five syllables (USA-i-an).
American is THE convenient short term. Granted USAian is too commonly used
and it IS too late to bring it up for further debate but it's not in my
vocabulary.

American, not North American or USAian

Be that as it may be, I know many other Americans who find it offensive,

depending on the context.

Well, South Americans are just that, just as we are North Americans.

But our country is called America.

I thought it was called the United States of America. Just as here we live

Right, shortened to America. America is not short for "all the countries
in the two contents of South and North America."
Just as Mexico is called what it is, people don't go around
calling their people UMSians, right? But it is the United Mexican
States, no?

I've heard that argument before, that using the term "American" to
identify US citizens is somehow disrespectful to Canadians, Mexicans
(they're North Americans, too) and South Americans, and every single
time it was posited by a British national. Seriously, when was the last
time you ever heard a Canadian or a Mexican, let alone a south American
self-identify as an "American"?
Claiming there's anything derogatory to any one of any other western
hemisphere nationalities about reserving the term "Americans" for US
citizens is being pedantic at best.
I find the terms "USAsian" and "Merikan" (in all of its spellings)
offensive and disrespectful, deliberately so, in spite of coy protests
to the contrary by persons applying those appellations. Using either of
those terms is a great way to get off on the wrong foot with me.
If you want to refer to me by my nationality in a civilized
conversation, call me an American.

Never ever heard it on my wide travels. It sounds like a PC thing to say and
we are overrun by users of PC language and PC think here in the UK.

Though I'm not an American I also dislike both terms, especially the M*****
word. I often suspect some people use it just to demonstrate how good they are
at US bashing which seems a worlwide pastime in this day and age.

While not truly offended by the word "Brit" often used to describe folks on
this side of the Pond, I also don't care for it either.

I am an American. I have been known to use "US" as an adjective when
there might some ambiguity but I feel no compunction in using
"American". Practically any Canadian will use American to mean a citizen
of the USA, as will numerous Europeans damning the country for its
"misdeeds" :-)
Incidentally, have you ever looked at the British Chambers English
Dictionary under "America"? The name is ascribed to Richard Ameryk of
Bristol who financed some of Cabot's voyages :-) I don't think I am
really convinced but Ameryk was an importer of salt cod and probably had
heard rumors of Newfoundland before Columbus sailed.

I worked in the Middle East with some Canadians and they always
identified themselves as "North Americans." Finally asked one why and he
said most Arabs thought everyone who spoke "American English" were
Americans and didn't even know where Canada was. I thought he was just
trying to pretend he was a real 'Murican. <G>
