In Finland, they advertise the largest container of mayonnaise as "American Size"
-
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.
The 10 gallon size is for food service. The gallon size is for large families. I knew a couple with ten kids who would kill a gallon of mayo quickly.
-
I just converted it. It's more than 200kg!
Does the whole family drink a glass of it everyday?
How in the world are you finishing that in a month?They are exaggerating. The foodservice packs top out at 10 gallons/37.85 liters as it becomes too heavy.
-
Restaurants use a 10 gallon bucket (37.8 liters).
So does my homemade mayo shower.

Am Statesian. That's a medium here
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...
-
Wow, this made me realize I haven't seen mayo in a glass jar in years.
Avocado mayo comes in a glass jar in my area.

Mayo tanker truck waiting patiently for the BBQ sauce and Pepto Bismol tanker trucks to depart...
As someone who lives in Utah, there better be a ketchup truck pulling up soon because I have a hankering for fry sauce!
-
Are all your jars made from plastic?
The cheap stuff is. If you get the avocado mayo, it generally comes in a glass jar and is about the size of the OP.
-
In Brazil the "American cup" is the smallest size of cup and I'm always found that hilarious.
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).
-
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.
I haven't seen anything under 20oz in my supermarket, but I'm not buying the fancy "organic" stuff, just the squeeze things for picnics and the larger jars for home.

Why did you DIY? I thought those came standard...
-
Out of curiosity, I just checked my pantry. I have two 30 ounce jars (1400+ grams), sitting in reserve.
This genuinely represents a failure to comprehend the scale of American food products.
Rookie numbers. We get the 64oz Costco size.
-
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
It's 64oz, or a half gallon, i.e. the smallest unit of milk anyone would buy.
-
America labels things in freedom and metric. What doesn't make sense to be is using volume and not weight.
Yeah, I had to look up a converter to figure out how many grams a mayo-ounce is.
-
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.
Definitely a local thing, I've never heard of it, and I'm a born and raised bowl licker.
-
I found a 128 ounce (3.758 litre) jar at Walmart.
That seems kind of expensive. The Costco 64oz variety is often on sale for <$10.

I prefer the 300 gallon IBC tote. Then I can unload it from my pickup truck with the pallet forks on my skid-steer and put it straight into the mayo door on the side of my house.
I heard the Rivian comes w/ an air compressor. Maybe consider using that to spray the mayo straight from the truck so you don't need the fork lift.
-
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.
55 gallons is about the size of the average American, or something in the neighborhood of 200kg.
-

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.
