A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

I feel like he might be referring to Miracle Whip as it is (or at least was when I was paying attention in the 80s/90s) sold as "salad dressing". No clue why they called it that but it was a cheap alternative to mayonnaise that had a tangy zip.
Now I have real mayonnaise made with eggs in my house (my mom was always weirded out by non-refrigerated egg products).
They called it salad dressing because it is salad dressing. It goes in potato salad, macaroni salad, coleslaw, etc. It's just that most people use it as a sandwich spread today.
That makes sense! I always forget about those types of salads lol. Thanks!
