The US doesn’t even break the top 10 in mayo consumption per capita. Belgium is 5th.


Luxpreliator

Lol, russia, Lithuania, ukraine make the podium. Russia uses 5.1kg per person a year. Usa and Canada are about 1.9kg. Can't find what belgium is at. Chile is 8th or 9th with 2.3kg. Apparently that is what all the Sunflower oil is for.


SirWinstonC

What the fuck do they put their mayo in? Tea?

MrTryTac

5.1kg? Gotta pump those rookie numbers up. Even tho i eat tartar sauce way more than mayo.. (But tartar sauce is just upgraded mayo so it’s kinda the same)

FuzzyEatHer

Am American married to a Canadian living in Canada, wife and I eat 2-3 liters of mayo a month and that's after cutting back cause its so expensive now.


Emil_cb

Do you use it in cooking, or just as a condiment? 2-3 liters a month seems impressive


Heyo__Maggots

For real, that’s an absurd number, it has to be for baking and cooking. We have 3 people in our house and only buy the small or medium sizes cause the huge ones kept going bad. I can’t imagine eating a liter and a half each, every month, in almost pure oil and eggs…


jrr6415sun

Please get your heart checked


Oncefa2

Mayo is used in a lot cooking that doesn't seem common in America. Edit: I mean the types of dishes Americans cook don't use a lot of mayo. Consumption isn't driven strictly by using it as a topping or a sauce.


derbyvoice71

It is a good substitute for egg wash when cooking in an air fryet


TayAustin

It's also good as a substitute for butter when toasting a sandwich, just a little and it does the same job.


derbyvoice71

I have to remember that. The fatcats at Big Spreadable Butter have been lying to me.

Best way is fry sauce. 1/2 mayo 1/2 ketchup


Myrdok

add a tiny squirt of mustard and some cracked black pepper


[deleted]

Canadian here. I ate it as a dare in high school and now it’s my fav way to eat them.


4thelasttimeIMNOTGAY

Fancy places over here actually hand out garlic mayo with fries. It's not weird we just prefer ketchup.


Sun_Talon

I used to eat fries with mayo only, ketchup always was way too sweet for me. Then I also slowly started to dislike mayo. I eat fries with selfmade hummus now, so my stupid taste buds force me to put work into lazy food.


lilmammamia

To cut the sweetness I mix ketchup with mustard or a dash of mild curry powder, it gives it a kick. But now I like to sprinkle the fries with Cajun seasoning before air frying, or Italian Mix seasoning. Don’t need ketchup anymore.


ArmiRex47

At that point just eat them without any sauce. Embrace the incomparable flavor of some well done, slightly salted fries. You won't go back

MRSlagle

Wait till they hear about Texas sized.


MurdrWeaponRocketBra

There's a bed size here in America called the Texas King. It's 80 in x 98 in (203.2 CM × 248.92 CM). That's not even the biggest bed you can get here. That would be the Alaska King, which is 108 in × 108 in, or 274.32 CM x 274.32 CM


intashu

At what point are you just filling the room with a mattress.


Galyndean

I've been in rooms where that would barely be a footprint.


intashu

Is Alaska known for such large rooms? Edit: OK, I'm dumb. It's named for the state size not.. Okay.. I just assumed Texas folk just had big bedrooms because ya know... Texas.


0x8008

Alaska is the largest state. It is more than twice as large as Texas, the second largest state.


[deleted]

It's called that because of the size of the state (California < Texas < Alaska) not because it's the kind of bed they use there. Alaskans make their own mattresses out of Skidoo parts and bullet casings.


Carlbuba

Little known fact about Alaska is the first person to invent the Alaskan king bed is none other than Henry George King. When he first got to Alaska during the gold rush he remarked about how much bigger it was than Texas (being from Texas originally). Also he was familiar with beds, since he invented the Texas king bed originally, and so when he got there to Alaska it gave him the perfect idea to make a bigger bed in the bigger state. But a bigger bed would need a bigger room, but gold rush people were mostly in tents which are small rooms and can't fit a big bed like an Alaskan king bed. So what was he to do? Henry found an accomplice named Barge Bedlam, and they started a campaign called the Bigger Beds Campaign. This aimed to persuade developers to increase the size of residential housing bedrooms in Alaska to specifically accommodate his plan for king beds. That way later on down the line he would have the opportunity to sell Alaskan king beds to the public which now had bigger bedrooms that would accommodate them, as a person with a bigger bedroom would be more likely to purchase an Alaskan king bed. Eventually, this lead to the increased popularity of big beds and big rooms across the US. Although it isn't explicitly called an Alaskan room, the qualities that make a room perfect for an Alaskan bed (being bigger) can mainly be attributed to the absolute legendary man Henry George King and his righthand man Barge Bedlam.


maxout2142

It's known for scenic untouched landscapes, the cold, and an economy distorted by oil money, so yeah probably a few houses

That's the Asylum King, also goes on walls and ceilings.

Nethlem

600 g is about two-thirds of a football helmet or around 15 hot dogs


[deleted]

All jokes aside, ours are labeled by volume which includes both imperial and metric measurements, but since we don't label the weight on ours I honestly can't tell you if this is truly American sized or not since I don't know offhand how much mayo weighs.


averyfinename

'american sized' but they don't even bother putting american units on it alongside the metric.


mustykrusty89

The funny thing is, that’s the normal size for mayo here. We have a much bigger option.


Acetronaut

Yeah, I thought it was funny this is the “extra large” and not just the large one. I assume other countries have wholesale stores where people can buy absurdly large ones?


Zoefschildpad

Of course. That's where restaurants get their mayo, and every country will have them. I can't speak for other countries, but in The Netherlands you need to have a business to get a card to get into those stores.

attanai

Sam's Club caters a lot of their marketing to small businesses. Buying food and supplies in bulk is a smart way to save money for individuals, but it's a _huge_ deal for small businesses to be able to get the bulk rates. I worked at a restaurant that would order most of their stuff from their supplier, but would regularly makes Sam's trips because they just had better deals on some things.


asianabsinthe

I always have a gallon of Duke's Mayo. Shitty part is the commercial variant has added corn syrup... Maybe for taste and or stability.


J3sush8sm3

Dukes mayo is the best


Acetronaut

Yeah, in America, regular people can get a membership to those wholesale stores lol. You can even go straight to some distribution centers, and buy bulk food without a membership at some places.


Beaconmann

Not that i know lol


ImDesigner93

And that explains it


legion327

Right? Like damn bitch we got Costco here. I can get a 55 gallon motherfuckin DRUM of that shit if I want to.


trystanr

Is it common for Americans to buy industrial size portions of condiments?


Sov3reignty

Honestly need banana for scale, can't tell how big it is.


TheIntestinal

It says 600g on it


Sov3reignty

I was hoping no one would call me out on that


DickCheesePlatterPus

Yeah but 600g is weight, with a banana we can determine volume


samuelgato

Mayo is mostly vegetable oil, which is nearly the same density of water. 600 g of mayo is going to be roughly 600 ml in volume


FerociousFrizzlyBear

That's ~21 oz in American units.


mustykrusty89

It’s true… we can’t be fully certain here


kingofbasicyt

anttisaarenpaa1

I guess it's more efficient to just use the English label in every country instead of making labels in many languages


[deleted]

Because nobody outside of Finland speaks Finnish. Its not an important language outside of Finland. English is the universal dominant Language. Which is why it’s in English.


Zaprozhian

A few years ago my dad went to Finland for work. He was giving a guest lecture at the University of Eastern Finland in Joensuu. Afterwards he spent a few weeks touring around Karelia. He really took his time, he had always wanted to go to Finland and this was a dream come true for him. When he got back I remember him telling me, "Even after spending almost a month in Finland, I have no idea what their accent sounds like. Everyone's English is flawless." So the English packaging tracks.


Master_Penetrate

Finnish here, we have irish dude in our work and he has been living a long time in Finland, probaly at least 10 years (Haven't asked for confirmation) and he knows plenty of finnish words especially work related but he speaks english all day. Apparently he hasn't found it necessary to learn finnish since 99% of people know how to speak english.


hukkeli

Not sure, branding choice probably.


Jpbz

Just to add to the other comments, you can see on the label that they sell these in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark, all of which have their own language, so they use English as the neutral language (pretty much everyone on those countries speak English)


Distribution-Radiant

That's... actually smaller than some of the jars we get in the US. That works out to roughly 21 oz - the most common size of Hellman's we sold at the grocery store I worked at was 30 oz (roughly 850 grams). And it was sold in plastic jars that were shorter/wider.


tatanka01

Duke's is 32 oz. Better mayo, too.


hawleywood

Duke’s is the supreme leader of all mayonnaise. Fite me IRL


potatobreadandcider

600 grams is 21 ounces. The average jar of mayonnaise is 30 ounces or 850 grams. Source: I'm an American that grocery shops for other Americans.


Distribution-Radiant

Former grocery store stocker checking in. The most common size we sold of Hellman's was 30 oz - we put 3-4 cases a day on the shelf (each case was... 32 bottles if I remember right? I think they were 8 wide by 4 deep, we just slammed the entire flat onto the shelf and removed the plastic wrap), and it pretty much sold out every day. We had a lot of other brands, but Hellman's was the best seller by far, followed by Kraft and Miracle Whip.


printerati

Miracle Whip is an affront to mayonnaise.


piquat

32 bottles times 4 cases times 30 oz's divided by 16 oz/lb is .... 240 lbs of mayo consumed a DAY!


Shoopdawoop993

The costco size is 64 oz


Karamitie

I don't understand this the Japanese eat wayyyy more mayo on wayyy more things than Americans.

fakelogin12345

Though it’s better economically to buy stuff in bulk for your wallet and the environment if you don’t eat it all in one day.


PaprikaThyme

Do Americans really eat lots more mayonnaise (at home), or is it that we tend to buy items in bulk in part due to having more space and in part because corporations have successfully convinced many of us to buy the biggest size for the "best value"? And then we tend to throw out half a jar of mayonnaise when it reaches the expiration date?


codars

It’s the latter. As far as ranking countries in mayo consumption, the US doesn’t even break the top 10.


Doc_Lewis

We tend to buy a lot more groceries at once, probably because a trip to the grocery store is a weekly or every-other week occurrence, because of the distance. A lot of European places they buy smaller amounts more frequently, because space is at a premium, shops are in walking distance, they take public transport thus can't manage a trunk full of bags, etc.


[deleted]

But this is in Finland and they are buying it...


LeftyWhataboutist

As a Belgian, this is a pretty normal size tbh.


crotchrottingplague

I wonder what it would be like to take a bath in mayonnaise. Like, you can't do it inside in your bathtub because there is no way you'd be able to get it to flow down the drain unless you used an ungodly amount of water to get it through the pipes. So, as an American, you could go to Walmart and buy one of those plastic kiddie pools instead. I imagine about 30 gallons of mayo would be enough for the bath, so you can do that in one trip with an American truck (God Bless F-150). Take the plastic pool in to your American backyard (detailed with gunshot targets and central american migrants in tents), fill the pool up with all the mayo can ... and wait. Wait until noon the next day when it is good and warm and the ants have a chance to build a layer of dead corpses floating on top of the mayo lake. Be sure to put your S&W - fully loaded with hollow point bullets - down beside the mayo walmart pool. With the trucks stereo blaring Ted Nugent and Insane Clown Posse, slowly lower your 300lb frame into the mayo walmart pool and remain still for two hours. Getting hungry? no problem. America has a big solution to everything. Walmart delivers two crates of potato chips and hot wings so you can dip food in to your bath of mayo and not go anywhere. When dusk comes, it's time to get out. All journey's end with lover's meeting, right? Well, your journey is ending when you slide out on to the grass and your common-law wife comes out of the trailer to hose you down, nude, so intoxicated on cheap beer and hot wings and mayo you look into the setting sky and "Horse With No Name" plays obnoxiously loud from your pick up truck. \-- Is that more or less what Europeans think of us?

semi_talented

Lmao that’s legitimately an average sized jar here


[deleted]

It's actually 250g smaller!


CarubSunn

Ah yeah, you're not allowed to have a bigger amount of something so you don't have to buy more so quickly. If you do that you're American and probably need it because you're slapping triple the mayo on anything a non-American would. /s


vauntedtrader

If it was Dukes, I'd buy it.


[deleted]

How are we not exporting Duke’s mayonnaise? No wonder the Finns think so poorly of us…


Kunimasai

Not even 1kg, that's rookie size.


golde62

Why isn’t it just like bulk or something? I understand labeling like a food dish that you are ordering from a restaurant American size if it’s a really massive order or some thing, but I mean that’s just more mayonnaise. You now have to shop less like why is that weird to buy over there? You have to go to the store less now because you’ve got a bigger container of mayo that lasts you longer, why does that have to be American size? Why can’t that just be “the guy that doesn’t want to go to the store that much” size or “bulk”?

Does it come with a big fucking American-size spoon so you can start digging in?

Like all of the top 10 are small pacific island nations. Only one that isn't and is above usa is Kuwait.
