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

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

There is a lot of truth to the big in America stereotype. Big country, big cities, big roads, big cars, big buildings, etc.

600 grams?
You could make maybe two sandwiches with that.

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

I believe (based on nothing but a whim) that us shopping culture is based on buying supplies (shopping for a week or more) while the European shopping culture evolved more from daily supplies from the market. Rural Europe would be the same i guess, but old cities was made for daily commerce

The average family size is shrinking. I've seen my neighbors stretch 55 gallons to 6 or even 7 weeks.
The times, they are a changin'...

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

And a lot of those are related. Big country means that our cities can sprawl. Big (low-density) cities mean that our roads can be wide. Big roads mean that our cars can be big.
Big country also means that there are a lot of people, and sooner or later a good percentage of them want to live close together, so they build big (dense) cities, which means big buildings.
And the sprawl leads to the part about big containers of unhealthy food, too. If you live more than an hour away from the nearest grocery store, you're unlikely to get groceries more than every other week or so, which means you need to buy larger, more shelf-stable containers of food.

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

I mean, isn't that just shelf-stabilized 'Murican pulmonary fluid?

I saw this several times when in Finland. I thought it was hilarious (I'm American).

Even the jar looks like it needs to be on a diet

That's like a week's worth at best.
