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

Pretty normal. See "California king size bed".

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.
1.3L "family size"... Family size what? Pool?

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

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.
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 found a 128 ounce (3.758 litre) jar at Walmart.
those are for "restaurants"

In the way a family size is for a "family"

wrote last edited by [email protected]Finland is in the top 10 of the most mayo consuming countries, so they could just as well call it "save a trip" size.

64 fluid ounces = 128 servings of 1 Tablespoon = 11,520 total calories, if you use a child-cheater to scrape out every drop.

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

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.

That’s not American enough, should be a bucket of Duke’s.

wrote last edited by [email protected]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.

Our country itself is also just large

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.
Maybe don't eat the mayo in the doomsday prepper bunker.

You leave me and my gallons of bunker mayo alone.

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