Am Statesian. That's a medium here
How does it compare to amateur mayonnaise?
Amateur mayonnaise practices until it gets it right.
Professional mayonnaise practices until it does not get it wrong.
Sips from mayonnaise bucket
Slurps from Coke bucket
Sticks entire head into KFC bucket

Wow, this made me realize I haven't seen mayo in a glass jar in years.
I picked up one last month. Organic. Hated it...
Should call that classic American Size. Today the standard container size measured in American comes half filled at twice the price.
Hell yeah.
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.
Are all your jars made from plastic?
90%
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.

You know it's nice to be seen
Out of curiosity, I just checked my pantry. I have two 30 ounce jars (1400+ grams), sitting in reserve.
This genuinely represents a failure to comprehend the scale of American food products.
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.
Maybe American ant size. Costco sells a lovely 1.9L jar.
Even the jar looks like it needs to be on a diet

Finland is in the top 10 of the most mayo consuming countries, so they could just as well call it "save a trip" size.
In America the family sized mayo comes in a 55 gallon barrel. That'll last for about a month.
I just converted it. It's more than 200kg! Does the whole family drink a glass of it everyday? How in the world are you finishing that in a month?
I think they were exaggerating for comedic effect. I hope..
For a family on a diet maybe
That MIGHT last my wife a single week.
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.

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.
