    In America the family sized mayo comes in a 55 gallon barrel. That’ll last for about a month.

      I prefer the 300 gallon IBC tote. Then I can unload it from my pickup truck with the pallet forks on my skid-steer and put it straight into the mayo door on the side of my house.

        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.

          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’…
