In Finland, they advertise the largest container of mayonnaise as "American Size"
-
Oh sorry, family word maybe? A child cheater is a flexible spatula (rubber or silicone) rounded on one side, that scrapes all the yummy cake batter out of the bowl and into the baking pan, leaving not enough to lick.
Kinda dumb that these two are called the same thing. They're for very different use cases.
The "child cheater" is sometimes referred to as a rubber spatula to differentiate it.

Real American Mayonaise , nearly 2 litres each, comes in a 2 pack....
That is for restaurants lol don't worry

I'm sad that I missed posting this on the 4th
Is the American mayonnaise even as real as this real American mayonnaise??
-
Ridiculous excess. Probably also has three times the ingredients.
The bigger a container I buy, fewer resources are wasted on packaging and transport
-
This bottle design is an utter bastard. You simply can't get the last bits out of there no matter how much you wait or bang or make it cough and splutter to your food.
I'm sure someone has actually designed it that way as opposed to designing it in a way that would be best for the consumer.
I don't need to worry about that because I just refill it from a larger container

Agreed, although I prefer silicone rather than rubber these days, it holds up better with heat.

Well then it's not a terrible solution, sure, but if you're going through the trouble already, why not use one of
These. They're practically free, way better shape, easy to wash, and prolly easier to fill given the whole size on those small bastards.
Also making your own mayo / sauces is something I'm kinda used to doing nowadays. I used to think it takes a lot of effort but nah, just mix some mayos/sauces/spices/herbs/garlic, give a tiny blend if there's hard parts and that's it. Sometimes I fluff it up by gently adding Turkish yogurt after squeezing it out of the bottle (the yogurt loses consistency if you blend it, so I blend everything else, put it in a squeezer, than lightly mix that with the yoghurt)

Yep, silicone spatulas are also a thing.

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.

My family of 4 goes through that much in about 6 months.

Get yourself some long mini spatulas. Amazing for cleaning out jars.

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 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.

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.

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.
