Why do people hate on mayonnaise so much?

Mayo with hot sauce on my sandwiches. Sometimes I will skip the Mayo on sandwiches with alot going on (like a different types of cheeses, etc...) and just roll with the mustard but Mayo is great.

It's okay in small quantities on sandwiches. I knew a guy who ate it on his french fries. I tried it once... it should be a felony.

The texture is nasty. The taste (alone) is pretty gross. Spread thinly on a sandwich, it's great.

I've watched someone make a sandwich, then lick the excess mayo off the knife they were using when they were done. I think it's one of the few times that I can honestly say I threw up in my mouth a little.
 
Most mayonnaise outright sucks. Almost everything you buy in the store is full of soy oil, even the stuff they advertise as being olive oil based. The best mayo is homemade stuff based on avocado oil. But that stuff is expensive.

The best store bought mayo I have found BY FAR is Just Mayo:

It is vegan and amazing.
 
a lot of people go overkill on it and it just overpowers the taste of anything else.

I use it sparingly, on sandwiches with dry meat (eg: turkey, chicken, roast beef) or if the bread itself is particularly dry (although with a meat like salami or ham, I'd just use olive oil/vinegar instead)
 
That's the fuckin' bomb yo!

I wish I'd never tried it because now I can't eat french fries without mayo... :'(

Yeah, I pretty much only eat fries if I can get mayo or some sort of aioli to dip them in. Or I'll eat them as poutine of course.

Large numbers of posters here hate mayo. Large numbers of posters here are real world challenged basement dwellers. Coincidence, I think not.

Seriously. Licking mustard is far more cringe-worthy...and I do that too.

Depends on the mayo, but it's usually tasty and perfectly fine. I would lick the knife before putting it into the sink because I wouldn't want to invite house flies and other pests.

If you claim it's the texture, would you eat yogurt?

Seriously, if texture was a big deal, why do we eat peanut butter?
 
in college we had a contest at a bar for girls to eat a large spoonful of mayo. Sadly no picture devices attached to phones existed then.
All the hot girls loved the mayo

I think it's something like 7:1 love mayo. Because it kicks ass.

For some reason, mayo-haters compare it to Miracle Whip. They should never be compared. MW tastes absolutely terrible. I'm not a picky eater, but MW is downright nasty and intolerable.

So it's not just that mayo lovers prefer it to MW. Mayo lovers can't stand MW.

Ugh, yeah. Miracle Whip is an abomination. My grandmother used to always try to get me to eat it. D:
