I’m sad that I missed posting this on the 4th
Mayo tanker truck waiting patiently for the BBQ sauce and Pepto Bismol tanker trucks to depart…
In Brazil the “American cup” is the smallest size of cup and I’m always found that hilarious.
That’s not big enough.
It should be the 2 gallon Costco-sized jug to truly be 'Merican.
600g? Those are rookie numbers. You call that American size? Our smallest jars are 390 (15 oz) grams. Regular and large jars are 780 (30 oz) and 1248 grams (48 oz). And they do have ridiculously big jars too, 1 gallon jars, i.e. 128 oz and 3328 grams, for, like, restaurants and doomsday preppers… or dudes that just really love mayonnaise, I guess.
They’re not lieing…
this is literally the first thing that comes up if you search mayonaise in the US.Maybe don’t eat the mayo in the doomsday prepper bunker.
You leave me and my gallons of bunker mayo alone.
That sounds like how the zombie apocalypse starts.
Zombie or no zombie, it’s how I’m going out.
Finland is in the top 10 of the most mayo consuming countries, so they could just as well call it “save a trip” size.
Maybe American ant size. Costco sells a lovely 1.9L jar.
64 fluid ounces = 128 servings of 1 Tablespoon = 11,520 total calories, if you use a child-cheater to scrape out every drop.
Even the jar looks like it needs to be on a diet
I found a 128 ounce (3.758 litre) jar at Walmart.
For anyone unaware, the gallon size of condiments (mayo, ranch dressing, hot sauce, etc) is typically for food service. IOW, restaurants and the like.
That said, there’s nothing stopping individuals from getting it, so the point is still valid.
I worked prep at a buffet, and there was a salad that we made in bulk that used exactly one full gallon of mayo. i got really good at scooping it all out with a spatula in one fluid spiral.
just one of many otherwise completely useless skills i developed in foodservice lmao
Worked at a seafood restaurant and we made coleslaw in basically a 40 gallon trashcan. Even had this auger that you attacked to the top to make it a huge food processor. It would use multiple gallons of mayo.
I worked at a pizza buffet when I was in high school. The ranch dressing, made in 5 gallon buckets, called for multiple gallons for mayo and buttermilk. I too got far too skilled at getting it all out in one go.
those are for “restaurants”
In the way a family size is for a “family”
It’s called a tub of mayonnaise thank you very much.
Wow, only 100 calories!
Psh! Nobody could take a bath in a tub that small.
This is smaller than a medium size jar in Canada (890 mL). Large is 1.4 L.
I had to look it up because I hardly ever actually buy mayonnaise, but I’ve walked down the mayonnaise aisle at the supermarket… What’s funny is that your 600g “50% more: American size” is actually a tweener size here.
The standard small jar here is 15 Floz (about 400g; we sell mayo by volume here apparently). The standard large jar is double that. And of course we have less common, but not uncommon, 48 Floz for “family size” and larger still in bulk.
We do have containers that are between or smaller, but the those are usually specialty containers (mainly squeeze bottles), specialty types (such as avocado oil based or flavored/blends), or just less common in general.
1.3L “family size”… Family size what? Pool?
Yes. Mayo is a key ingredient in so many picnic dishes. Dishes that people regularly prep for BIG family gatherings where everyone brings home leftovers. Potato salad, coleslaw, and pasta salads made by the gallon. Sure, some people eat way too much, but sharing and sharing big is kind of the whole point. If someone shared food with you in a park, you’re family now and will be expected to bring your weight in your other family’s traditional recipe of something next time.
Sauces, too. You want a fat as a base in many of them, and mayo is a pretty good way to get it.
When I worked in foodservice, we bought it by the gallon. People would ask for it as a dressing on their salads. Gross.
Typical South Eastern US.
Pretty normal. See “California king size bed”.
In America the family sized mayo comes in a 55 gallon barrel. That’ll last for about a month.
The worst thing is… I don’t know if I laugh or if I believe this.
The real worse thing is I have absolutely no idea how big 55 gallons would be, or how big the one in the photo is.
The explodey barrels in fps games are typically 55 gallon drums
I have absolutely no idea how big 55 gallons would be
Something a bit larger than 200l… I think an oil barrel is around that size (and yeah, it’s “the standard unit” for that).
In all seriousness, if the GP said it was a 2 gallon container I would honestly not know if it was true.
The average family size is shrinking. I’ve seen my neighbors stretch 55 gallons to 6 or even 7 weeks.
The times, they are a changin’…
Ain’t no folks enjoy a good ol’ mayo slip’n’slide no more
Maybe if you’re Mormon or bathing in it
That’s not American enough, should be a bucket of Duke’s.
That’s like a week’s worth at best.
For a baby maybe
Woah woah, it’s American size, not Wisconsin sized. I based my estimate on the usage of average Americans, not outlier groups.
600 grams?
You could make maybe two sandwiches with that.
Found the american!
To be fair you could make three grilled cheese sammiches with that
…and that’s an accurate adjective
Well Finland has the saying “Everything is big in America”
…good and the bad, triumphs and fuck-ups.
To be honest, I think all Finland did was translating that saying to Finnish lol
Everything is bigger
