    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.

        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.

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

              That's not big enough.

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

                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

                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.

                    They're not lieing... this is literally the first thing that comes up if you search mayonaise in the US.

                      In Brazil the "American cup" is the smallest size of cup and I'm always found that hilarious.

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

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

                                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 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.

                                    Mayo and sour cream are like 80% of the sauces in most restaurants.
