Consisting of mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, and seasonings, we find this classic salad dressing in our sandwiches, our Big Macs, and our tacos. This salad dressing is called Thousand Island.
Where did this sauce come from? How did it come to existence? Despite having one place of origin (that is, the Thousand Islands region of Upstate New York), there have been differing legends on who really made the dressing.
Mental Floss tells three of these accounts. Learn them all over at the site.
