In Finland, they advertise the largest container of mayonnaise as "American Size"

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

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.

Well Finland has the saying "Everything is big in America"
...good and the bad, triumphs and fuck-ups.
Everything is bigger

That's like a week's worth at best.
For a baby maybe

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 explodey barrels in fps games are typically 55 gallon drums

In America the family sized mayo comes in a 55 gallon barrel. That'll last for about a month.
Maybe if you're Mormon or bathing in it

I found a 128 ounce (3.758 litre) jar at Walmart.
For anyone unaware, the gallon size of condiments (mayo, ranch dressing, hot sauce, etc) is typically for food service. IOW, restaurants and the like.
That said, there's nothing stopping individuals from getting it, so the point is still valid.

They dip their fries in mayo over there and put it on hot dogs, gotta get the big jars for that.
Mayo on fries and hotdogs slaps, though I prefer cream cheese on dogs for a similar but better experience

600 grams?
You could make maybe two sandwiches with that.
Found the american!

Americans don't dip their fries in mayo. Thats a Dutch/Belgian thing

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.

It's called a tub of mayonnaise thank you very much.

Pretty normal. See "California king size bed".

This is smaller than a medium size jar in Canada (890 mL). Large is 1.4 L.

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

those are for "restaurants"

those are for "restaurants"
In the way a family size is for a "family"
