Ridiculous excess. Probably also has three times the ingredients.
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 :)
The bigger a container I buy, fewer resources are wasted on packaging and transport
Maybe American ant size. Costco sells a lovely 1.9L jar.
Even the jar looks like it needs to be on a diet

How does it compare to amateur mayonnaise?
Amateur mayonnaise practices until it gets it right.
Professional mayonnaise practices until it does not get it wrong.
Sips from mayonnaise bucket
Slurps from Coke bucket
Sticks entire head into KFC bucket
Rinse and repeat until coronary arteries are plugged shut

That's not big enough.
It should be the 2 gallon Costco-sized jug to truly be 'Merican.
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.
or dudes that just really love mayonnaise, I guess.
You know it's nice to be seen
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.

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...

Is the American mayonnaise even as real as this real American mayonnaise??
Mayo is the same color as the Constitution of the United States. It's more really real than l̶̶e̶̶g̶̶a̶̶l̶̶l̶̶y̶̶ ̶̶ ethically allowed possible.

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.
Hey we aren't the weirdos who dip our fries in it.
Oh wait that does sound pretty good actually

In America the family sized mayo comes in a 55 gallon barrel. That'll last for about a month.

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?
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:
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.

In Europe it's code for "fatlards".
In Brazil the "American cup" is the smallest size of cup and I'm always found that hilarious.

I had to look it up because I hardly ever actually buy mayonnaise, but I’ve walked down the mayonnaise aisle at the supermarket… What’s funny is that your 600g “50% more: American size” is actually a tweener size here.
The standard small jar here is 15 Floz (about 400g; we sell mayo by volume here apparently). The standard large jar is double that. And of course we have less common, but not uncommon, 48 Floz for “family size” and larger still in bulk.
We do have containers that are between or smaller, but the those are usually specialty containers (mainly squeeze bottles), specialty types (such as avocado oil based or flavored/blends), or just less common in general.

Well Finland has the saying "Everything is big in America"
...good and the bad, triumphs and fuck-ups.
To be honest, I think all Finland did was translating that saying to Finnish lol
