    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

            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.

                    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.

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

                          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.

                                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.

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