I know it's divisive just to ask. But I wonder where you stand, and have to know now.

[Pobeka]

Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip?

Me, I spread whatever's available. I guess you could call me bi-spreadable.

[True Dough]

1. Gimme that TANGY ZIP

of Miracle Whip, especially with egg salad and potato salad!

[soothsayer]

2. Hellman's (or Best Foods (?) for the left coast)

[JT45242]

3. Hate them both

Both ruin a sandwich or burger. Keep them away from my food.

[Hoyt]

7. Me too. I gag.

[Midnight Writer]

45. I'm with you. Will actually make me ralph.

I don't understand why it is a default topping on so many fast food sandwiches.

[rurallib]

48. Precisely!

[drmeow]

58. Yup

I won't eat anything made with either!

[Ocelot II]

4. Mayonnaise. Miracle Whip is an abomination.

[2naSalit]

22. +1

[SaveOurDemocracy]

52. +2

[LibinMo]

66. +3

[Skittles]

5. neither

nope

[hlthe2b]

6. Either one. Not picky, but not TOO much.

My Mom always used Miracle Whip, but that didn't stick with me (maybe because so many of my adult years were low fat dieting years).

[dem4decades]

8. Hellmann's. The giant jar from Costco.

[OAITW r.2.0]

9. Mayo.....

I think that means "bad" in Chinese, but it's cuz the spread's not popular (or wasn't 20 years ago).

[LizBeth]

10. Miracle Whip is what I buy but like both.

[Generic Brad]

11. Mayo

Miracle Whip was met preferred spread when I was younger - probably because it is so sweet. But these days I prefer mayonnaise.

[marble falls]

12. Miracle Whip and Wonder Bread have between them only one use: with salt and pepper on ...

... garden fresh tomato sandwiches. Otherwise, it's real mayonnaise made with olive oil.

[Pobeka]

18. Wonder bread is a bridge too far for me!

I remember (not fondly) wonder bread with Miracle Whip and bologna sandwiches.

[marble falls]

25. It's good for just tomato sandwiches the way my mom made 'em in the fifties. Other than that ...

... I want real bread.

[Lochloosa]

32. This. There's nothing like a sloppy mater sandwich on white bread

[marble falls]

36. Some people just haven't had the rich live we had. Gotta be outa the garden today 'maters.

I'd eat them every day if I could.

Found another great use for green'uns - green tomato pasta sauce.

[Yonnie3]

37. yeah!

messy!

We usually put some fresh thin sliced cucumber on them too. The cuke helped it hold together.

[marble falls]

62. We'd have whitebread radish and butter sandwiches when the garden got going good ...

... and we'd sit out on the front porch on summer nights listening to the Indian game at Muni Stadium. The old man had a POC, and we'd have pop.

[wnylib]

53. Hellman's mayo with olive oil is great.

I love it. I buy only Hellman's with olive oil or Smart Balance mayo. Pays off, too. Just got my routine checkup lab results and the cholesterol levels were good. The good cholestrol is up and the bad is down. But, then, I am eating more fish and veggies, too. Olive oil mayo is good with tuna salad.

[marble falls]

63. Good for you, it all adds up.

[multigraincracker]

13. Olive Oil Miracle Whip

on my Jumbo Shrimp.

[tblue37]

14. Mayo. Miracle Whip is way too sweet.

[Shermann]

15. Duke's FTW nt

[Pobeka]

23. Where does Duke's lie in the mayo (1) to tangy (10) range? Never heard of it.

[Shermann]

39. Definitely in the mayo camp, like a Southern version of Hellmann's nt

[Dave in VA]

41. Yeah Dukes!

I didn't know what mayonnaise was until I was in college. It was always; where's the Dukes?, get me the Dukes for my sandwich!, etc.

[Joinfortmill]

16. Me too. But first choice is mayo.

[EarlG]

17. The correct answer to your question is...

[Pobeka]

21. Wait, what's that? Is it like Miracle Whip or a different zing? n/t

[EarlG]

24. I'd say it's closer to Miracle Whip than mayo

But it has its own distinct flavor

[Tikki]

26. YES

Tikki

[EarlG]

29. LOL

Excellent reference!

[Pobeka]

31. LOL! n/t

[malaise]

49. Nice

[malaise]

50. Nice

[marble falls]

30. Well if we're going to open up the field ...

[In_The_Wind]

19. Hellman's

[oregonjen]

20. Japanese Kewpie Mayonnaise, please!

[betsuni]

60. It's the only mayo I like. Doesn't taste like eggs, creamy and luscious.

Wasabi + mayo is fabulous.

[demmiblue]

27. Vegenaise. n/t

[mucifer]

28. yup

[marble falls]

33. Love it - but it ain't cheap.

[demmiblue]

42. Yep. My Kroger stopped carrying the small jar...

I buy the big one, but don’t use it all before the expiration date. By expiration date, I mean it doesn’t pass the taste/smell test!

[Ka-Dinh Oy]

35. Yes, vegenaise.

I don't like mayo and I can't stand Miracle Whip.

Besides Vegenaise is healthier.

[Jeebo]

34. I love mayonnaise.

Hellmann's or Kraft. When I was a kid, we used to eat mayonnaise sandwiches. Slather a big glob between two slices of white bread and chow down. Now I never eat white bread any more, only wheat, but I still love mayonnaise. Have to have something else on it besides just mayonnaise, though. What I can't stand on ANY sandwich is ketchup. Not on French fries, either. In Belgium they use mayonnaise instead of ketchup with fries. And there's hot dogs. Pat Sajak dumps on Vanna White because she puts ketchup on hot dogs. I'm with Sajak. I'll put sauerkraut, onions, mustard, sometimes chili on my hot dogs, but NEVER ketchup.

38. Mayo!! I don't like Miracle Whip at all!

There's something about it that really bothers me, sort of like the "artificial chemicals" flavor that I experienced when I tried drinking Tab in the past.

Coincidentally, one of my brothers prefers Miracle Whip by far, and Tab never bothered him either.

Edit: And I can easily detect it too. If my mother used even a small amount in a recipe, I'd taste it and she'd exclaim, "I barely put it in there to supplement the mayo!"

[Coventina]

40. Mustard for me. And yes, I like Grey Poupon, like Obama!

[Kaleva]

43. Love mayo with fries but I can eat either with anything else.

[sparkzebra]

44. Depends

Mayonnaise for sandwiches.....Miracle Whip for Salads

[malaise]

46. Never Miracle Whip

and rarely Mayo although I like home made mayo in potato or breadfruit salad.

[gratuitous]

47. Fuck that noise

I'd rather get into an argument about how to hang the toilet paper* than dip a toe into THAT maelstrom.

*Over the top or the correct way.

[blueinredohio]

51. Has to be Hellmans. I put mayo on everything.

In the summer a fresh tomato from the garden and mayonnaise sandwich. Nothing better!

[mia]

54. Mayonnaise now, but my first, most delicious, sandwich was at a neighbor's house in the early 50s.

Baloney, Wonder Bread, with Miracle Whip. Cold chocolate milk in a tall, red aluminum glass. Then we had peaches from their backyard tree. Bliss for a five year old.

[Pobeka]

56. As a child in the 60's, I remember all of that, except fresh peaches. Nestle's Quik! n/t

[sinkingfeeling]

55. Duke's mayo.

[TexasBushwhacker]

57. Both. It depends on what I'm making

Any recipe that calls for mustard and mayo, gets mayo. Things like potato salad and deviled eggs. Anything that calls for a touch of sweetness, like carrot and raisin salad, or a broccoli salad I make, gets Miracle Whip.

[Kali]

59. mayo where it is appropriate

it is NOT appropriate on hamburgers, hot dogs, or ham sandwiches. it is appropriate in homemade ranch dressing and a few other places.

[luckone]

61. No or hell no? No thank you to both but Miracle Whip even sounds sketchy

[electric_blue68]

64. Hellman's Mayo, Yes!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

65. Mayonnaise.

Miracle Whip is nasty. It tastes like mayo that's gone bad.

[happybird]

67. Mayo, all the way

Preferably Hellmann’s.

Miracle Whip can go die in a fire.

[SamKnause]

68. Hellmann's mayo.

Never Miracle Whip. It taste like mayo with sugar dumped in it.

I don't like sweet pickles, only dill or sour pickles.

[csziggy]

69. Mayonnaise for most things, but Miracle Whip is good sometimes

I like Miracle Whip for ham sandwiches sometimes as well as with other things. But my go-to sandwich spread is mayo.

[yellowdogintexas]

70. Team Mayonnaise!!!

My mom was Miracle Whip but I do love Mayo.

[Laffy Kat]

71. Mayo!! Miracle Whip is too sweet. nt
