Is it a particular brand of Green Goddess that got discontinued?

No particular brand. All I know is that I haven’t seen any Green Goddess, of any brand, on the supermarket shelves in at least thirty years. And if I ask about it, the few supermarket staff who remember it (and very few do), tell me that it’s been discontinued.

As somebody who likes Green Goddess dressing, I keep an eye out for it. Kraft still makes it and I see it once in a while at Walmart.

Thanks for the tip. I rarely go to Walmart for groceries; I mostly go for other things. But next time, I’ll take a swing through the groceries, and see what I find. Who knows; maybe the staff at my local Safeway are wrong. I hope so, as I quite enjoyed Green Goddess on salads, years ago.
