A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Systemic issue in journalism. The actual reporting breaks down to a one liner; "mayonaise less popular with younger generations, increasingly diverse choice of condiments instead", but that doesn't generate revenue
It’s the same issue for recipe blogs. Everyone hates all the filler, they just want the recipe. But having a page with just a recipe does not jive with search engines so people will never see your blog unless you write the filler.
It should be, "mayo like all foods in younger generations isn't as popular because their palates haven't gotten to that point yet".
This is the level of journalism now... complete shit. You're tastes change over time...so this generation magically hates mayo now? Might as well say this new generation hates their greens and coffee.
Millennials are in their 30s. I don't think it's due to palates not having developed. I think it's more to due with just using a more diverse set of condements. I don't dislike mayo (though I do despise Miricle Whip), but I don't use it very often. I tend to go for other flavors. If anything, I think it's the older generations who have an undeveloped palate. They tend to eat a much smaller variety of flavors/styles.
That article wasn't about millennials, it was about genz. A lot of condiments have a mayo style base though.
Also hater of miracle whip...shit is terrible. Mayo is king.
Huh. The headline in the OP says millennials.
I do like a good mayo or mayo-based sauce though, yeah. However, growing up I remember my parents putting miracle whip (and calling it mayo) on a lot of things, and I hated it. I definitely don't use it to the level they did. It's good, but there are other condiments.
The article quoted in this post said a 25 year old, didn't even notice it said millennials in the picture lol my bad.
Parents did the same shit, it's mayo....the fuck it is. That shit is vile, and should be wiped from the planet and all recipes on how to make it should be burned.
