Why do people hate on mayonnaise so much?

Last time I went to Subway, just like every. other. time.

"...and a liiittle bit of mayo."

Employee squeezes the mayo back-and-forth twice, leaving 4 giant lines of mayo. Doesn't ruin the sandwich, but it was about 2x more than necessary.

You should try it on a turkey / ham sandwich.

Ham? Mustard is the superior condiment. I think the only time I actually eat turkey is Thanksgiving and the week or so after. Bread, cold turkey, and a little salt is all I require for a sandwich.

As with every condiment, the minimum wage mouth breathers don't understand what "a little bit" means. I just get none and put it on myself.
 
I generally don't like any processed, prepackaged sauces because they all taste like crap.

Mayo especially because I hate the texture.
 
Mayo is just gross and creamy. Oil and vinegar or mustard only.

And I don't mind when people just like plain mayo on something, but I see people get things like ov AND mayo?! Or Mayo, ketchup and ranch please! Gimme a break... pick one awful spread for your food. So disgusting.
 
Miracle Whip is the Diet Coke of condiments.

Mayo is great. I've never tried it with fries though. Usually just in sandwiches and sometimes I'll dip artichoke or asparagus in it. I'll have to try it with fries sometime.

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.

:thumbsup: I would rather starve than eat miracle whip. I would literally pass on eating anything with miracle whip on it or that has miracle whip in it. That shit is nasty.

It's just egg whites and vegetable oil, and like some lemon juice garlic flavor etc...

People don't understand sugar is like 10x worse for you...

No, real mayo is egg yolk, lemon juice, mustard, and oil. Then you add in whatever you want to give it extra flavor.
 
I liked mayo until recently when I ate a sandwich of some sort and for some reason the mayo grossed me out. I felt a little queasy afterwards and ever since I've been tripling-down on mustard and skipping mayo altogether.

these things are not rational
 
I've never liked mayonnaise on sandwiches or burgers. Just slimy and oily. About the only way I can stand it is in something like potato salad (where its mixed up with other ingredients).
 
Fast food mayonnaise is pretty bad though. I try to get no mayo on anything from say McD's or Burger King. They put so much of that shit on sometimes, it's all you taste. And the taste is disgusting to begin with.
 
people complain about mayo because the one they sell ready-made is kinda fake, and if they put too much it also drowns other tastes. Some people just hate it in their sandwich, or hate the fatty taste.
You either prepare it yourself with oil and eggs, or it's shite.

I eat only with white rice when I'm eating fish, or with various spices used as a dip when eating fondue chinoise.
That's it.

It had probably gone bad or it was some terrible light mayo.

I know exactly what you mean. But there was some time 10-15 years ago...

The crispy chicken sandwich (not the McChicken) went through a lot of different versions. There was a long period where it actually tasted great. I'm certain the mayonnaise was special and different from the mayo they had for their other items. The mayo was one of the best things about it. Wish I had a time machine...

Because it makes a lot of restaurants forget to put tuna in their tuna salad. And it's slimy, like egg and vegetable snot.
