In Europe it's code for "fatlards".

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.

Wow, this made me realize I haven't seen mayo in a glass jar in years.

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

I picked up one last month. Organic. Hated it...

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 7 points 6 hours ago

Should call that classic American Size. Today the standard container size measured in American comes half filled at twice the price.

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?

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 41 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

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.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe don't eat the mayo in the doomsday prepper bunker.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 18 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

You leave me and my gallons of bunker mayo alone.

That sounds like how the zombie apocalypse starts.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago

Zombie or no zombie, it's how I'm going out.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 83 points 17 hours ago (16 children)

Maybe American ant size. Costco sells a lovely 1.9L jar.

Almost enough for a regular Midwestern salad.

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.

[–] sheridan@lemmy.world 39 points 16 hours ago (8 children)

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

[–] dovahking@lemmy.world 1 points 45 minutes ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 minutes ago

I think they were exaggerating for comedic effect. I hope..

For a family on a diet maybe

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

That MIGHT last my wife a single week.

[–] MoonMelon@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 23 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

The worst thing is... I don't know if I laugh or if I believe this.

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.

600 grams?

You could make maybe two sandwiches with that.
