In Finland, they advertise the largest container of mayonnaise as "American Size"
-
My family of 4 goes through that much in about 6 months.
I don't know how okay I am with keeping mayo for 6 months
-
$5, it would cost me more than that just to get the eggs to make it.
It's also from 6 years ago...

PH is 3-4, nothing wants any of that action.

Oh yeah I do, like a silicon scraper. But one of those wouldn't fit into one of those tiny shop mayo squeezer bottles.
The openings on these generic mayo bottles is like 3cm, whereas on the squeezer mayo bottle, it's like less than one.
But aye, the silicon scrapers "mini-spatulas" are great at scraping anything. Saves me like 5% of loss on with my blender, lol. Also really goot when you're prepping things for freezing.
I think the standard for squeeze bottles are 3cm. That's what 99% of ketchup bottles I have ever seen are.
Just measured my Kraft squeeze mayo in my fridge and it's 3cm.
I use my mini spatulas to clean my ketchup containers
Personally I don't use enough Mayo to run out before I need to replace the bottle. If I got the same size jar it would be the same thing, I'm not scraping out the last bits of months old mayo either way. Doesn't sound appealing.

I'm sad that I missed posting this on the 4th
Hey we aren't the weirdos who dip our fries in it.
Oh wait that does sound pretty good actually

I wouldn't want to dip my fries in Americans.

Costco size in the US:
For those in less free areas, that's about 3x the size as the one in the picture. Regular grocery-store mayo (in a jar) is about half the Costco size (something like 850 grams?), and mayo in a squeeze bottle is about the size of the jar picture above.
We, uh, kinda like mayo here...
I think the Costco size is 1.15L can check when I get home

The one in the picture is 1.9L.

You made me get up to look for a tape measure. Couldn't find one. 2e coin will have to do.
The Hellmans mayo bottle is definitely not 3cm. The other one is way wider but the Hellmans is barely the size of a 2e coin, a 2e coin not fitting in it and a 2e coin being roughly an inch (25.75cm as opposed to an inch which is 2.54cm)
Look at this
Idk of any inch wide mini spatulas. Could be useful but I've not seen any.
My ketchup bottles are also probably closer to 2" than 1"
Oh and I'm not gonna use the bottle I had the coin on, it was on sale but I didn't like it so I'm just waiting to throw it away.
Also I don't ever scrape bottles of month old mayo, if I make my own I use it like at least within a week. Even if it's mixed from mayo and other premade sauces that have long shelf lifes. I just use the bottle as a sort of medium. I make a mix of sauces, because the ketchup isn't tasty enough, but the mayo ain't hot enough, and the mustard isn't sweet enough. So I mix a bit of all in decent relations, then throw in a bit of garlic, spices, jalapeño relish. Then blend and put in the squirter.Use for a day or a couple. Then get rid.
Then rinse and repeat.

Yeah don't do that multiple times. One or two times isn't going to kill you but if you did it for years and had pieces of ancient mayo in there that sounds like a health concern.
I'll go get a new knife if I have to open up a new jar to finish something.
Got to clean your containers and not just top them up, lol

There's a reason ketchup and mayonnaise are the classic American condiments, that being that they are acidic enough to remain shelf stable for years. I ain't even joking pre refrigerators that was a massive boon and fridges didn't become common for house holds until the 1950s ice boxes not withstanding.
-
Maybe American ant size. Costco sells a lovely 1.9L jar.
That's nothing compared to Slavic-sized!
-
That is for restaurants lol don't worry
Don't know what you're talking about. As an American, I have one in my fridge. And I carry one to work. To add to my lunch, my coffee, of the sun is too hot and might burn my skin...
-
Wow, this made me realize I haven't seen mayo in a glass jar in years.
Same.
I've been loving Kewpie squeeze bottles and Truff mayo.

Liter? Americans aren't even consistent with their weird systems of measurements. Why is it not marked as 568.3844 fl oz? Or 0.244 football fields or 38.38383 yards or smth
We had a big push to try to adopt metric for a bit. It stalled out for various reasons, but it ended with metric units being required on food and stuff, metric being the official system of the government, and new things introduced in that period being referred to in metric.
So beverages come in 8, 12, 16, and 20oz, 1 liter, 2 liter, and gallon.We also print both units on just about everything.
-
As an American, that's a normal small size of mayo. Most of our "regular" sizes are almost double that, this is about the size of those smaller squeeze bottles:
Mayo squeeze bottle, the best thing since sliced bread, especially when it's used on said sliced bread 🥪

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.
Every barrel you see on TV or in a movie is 55 gallon or 42 gallon.
Other sizes exist but those two are so prevalent that you really only see those. The size comes from the oil industry where it's a standard unit. It's common to sell oil in different units, but the barrel size is so common that everyone just uses the same container and maybe just rounds the units.
Can't use a 42 gallon barrel , has to be the metric 160L, or the 200L 55 gallon drum. -

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 largest sold to consumers through normal channels is a gallon. Typically used by people who are feeding a lot of people, like making a dish for a large family gathering, or by people who only go shopping once a month or less. Some people live an hour from the store, so they just buy an excessive amount of food and shop infrequently.

Is the American mayonnaise even as real as this real American mayonnaise??
Mayo is the same color as the Constitution of the United States. It's more really real than l̶̶e̶̶g̶̶a̶̶l̶̶l̶̶y̶̶ ̶̶ ethically allowed possible.
