      Woah woah, it's American size, not Wisconsin sized. I based my estimate on the usage of average Americans, not outlier groups.

        That's not big enough.

        It should be the 2 gallon Costco-sized jug to truly be 'Merican.

          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.

            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.

                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

                I worked at a pizza buffet when I was in high school. The ranch dressing, made in 5 gallon buckets, called for multiple gallons of mayo and buttermilk. I too got far too skilled at getting it all out in one go.

                  I get the joke, lol America fat, but this makes no sense. If something is to be consumed in one sitting, that's when a bigger size has the connotation of gluttony. A "large" soda should probably not exist.

                  But consumables should be bought in greater quantities, that's economical and conserves packaging. So a stupid person didn't even understand the underlying issue of the fat joke they wanted to make.

                  Parks and Recreation did this joke well with their "child" sized soda.

                      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.

                          Sauces, too. You want a fat as a base in many of them, and mayo is a pretty good way to get it.

                                  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.
