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

I have absolutely no idea how big 55 gallons would be
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.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Yup, a gallon is about 3.75 times the size of a liter, or multiply by 4 and round down.

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'...
Eh, I think the overall size is about the same, but the number of people is reducing.

Maybe if you're Mormon or bathing in it

That's just silly, its not even that big. That's a normal big jar of mayo.
With chocolate bars, premade meals, drinks, ect, its a "size" that works as a gimmick but mayo?

55 gallons is about the size of the average American, or something in the neighborhood of 200kg.
You’re mixing up weight and volume measurements, and everyone knows an average American is a lot of decibels.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Nah, the ounce is a unit of weight and volume. 55 gallons = 7040 fl oz ~= 7040 oz ~= 440 lbs = 200kg.
Aren't American units great? Here's a nice converter for various things, including mayo, which is ~0.94 oz per fl oz. But generally speaking, a fluid ounce is roughly the same as a weight ounce, kind of like how a milliliter is roughly the same as a gram (exactly equal for water, while a fluid ounce isn't exactly equal to a weight ounce for water).

wrote last edited by [email protected]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:

Because that all makes perfect sense.
Well, the kg bit does anyway.

Yup, the average American certainly is 200kg.

Can you fit your fist through the top? Can you scoop out a handful easily and leave fingertrails in the bottom? Then it's just normal sized IMO.

Oddly, the decibels go up the further from home an American is, so I'd need current position to do the math.

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...
wrote last edited by [email protected]here's my go-to dip
1/2 cup mayonnaise (may substitute sour cream, but i can't remember what it tastes like)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 can water-packed artichoke hearts
1 T minced garlic (when cooking for normal people, just use 1 t but i go to the garlic festival and like those quantities)
1/4 t red pepper flakes
paprika (garnish)- drain artichoke hearts, cut into small pieces.
- Mix all ingredients together except paprika.
- Put into souffle dish and sprinkle paprika on top for color.
- Bake at 350 degrees f for 20 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
- Serve with crackers or baguette thins. Our local bakery does this great crusty pugliese with a wonderful crumb.
My shortcut is that i throw all the ingredients (except the paprika) in the food processor instead of cutting anything myself, then let it do the shredding. The recipe originally didn't have garlic or red pepper flakes in it, so you can add your own variations if you'd like.

Real American Mayonaise , nearly 2 litres each, comes in a 2 pack....

I will always approve of adding garlic.
Thanks for the recipe!

Ridiculous excess. Probably also has three times the ingredients.

Could that be from an "americano" coffee?
If it holds soda, then it makes no sense at all, because a small is larger than many areas' "large" (sometimes 16oz, or almost 500 ml).

To be fair, it's a bulk club; they're designed to service businesses, but price-wise to value we go through that much in a year and they have great expiration dates. My pantry exceeds the stock of a small European market

That is pretty much exactly 1/3 of the size we usually buy in the US. I think it's a little over 21 oz, I always buy the 64 oz size. Our family goes through it pretty quickly.
