Et Tu, IU?

This is a question that has been plaguing me since my return to campus:

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CAESAR DRESSING IN THE DINING HALLS???

Long ago, when I was a wide-eyed, pizza-faced, 160ish lb sophomore, my mom and I made an agreement that any meal I ate involving a salad could be purchased with my/her credit card. Ever since, whenever I eat lunch at the Union I've made the effort to get a salad to go along with my personal pizza. And while the nearby Burger King is probably the best in the country, I have resisted temptation and eaten healthier/spent my mom's money.

But ever since I returned this year, there has been NO CAESAR DRESSING. I've been eating my Caesar salads with ITALIAN dressing. It makes no sense. I even went to the lengths of asking an employee of the Union dining area why they did not have any Caesar dressing. She replied "we're out of Caesar, we should be getting some in this week." WRONG, woman who works at the Union food area - YOU NEVER HAD CAESAR DRESSING.

THEN, I ate lunch at the library today. I rarely do this, and new nothing of the food options other than Chick-fil-A. Much to my surprise and enjoyment, the salads were here too - lunch would be on mom. I assumed the dressing selections must be different here, but when I looked down THERE WAS NO CAESAR.

PEOPLE, WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE CAESAR DRESSING AT INDIANA UNIVERSITY?
