Mullen’s Imitation French Dressing Falls Short in Coolest Thing Made in Illinois Bid

(Palestine) – Mullen’s Imitation French Dressing fell short in its bid to be the coolest thing made in Illinois for 2024. Hosted by the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association and sponsored by Comcast Business, the bracket-style competition generated nearly 315,000 votes throughout the eight-week competition and the Komatsu mining truck was awarded the title of “2024 Coolest Thing Made in Illinois.” Manufactured by Komatsu, a leading maker of construction, mining, forestry, and industrial heavy equipment in Peoria, the truck is a rugged, large-capacity vehicle used for construction and mining with a capacity ranging from 30 to 400 tons. The competition began in February with an original field of more than 200 nominees and Mullen’s made it into the “Final Four” of the fan voting.
