13 Small Details You Only Notice Rewatching The Office

8. Great Scott Salad Dressing

The Office Great Scott Salad Dressing
NBC

Michael Scott is a man of particular tastes, so of course a sneaky little prop on his desk when he's eating a salad reveals that he has his own salad dressing, which he's named 'Great Scott' and even given a little label including his face, which is designed to mimic Newman's Own salad dressing range.

It's a superb visual gag in its own right, but is made even better by a deleted scene in which Michael expands upon the dressing, saying: "I make my own salad dressing. I mix Newman's Ranch with Newman's Italian. Sell it at flea markets for a slight loss. I could make... I could make a profit if I changed one of the ingredients to Wishbone but I won't do it."
