That is for restaurants lol don't worry
Don't know what you're talking about. As an American, I have one in my fridge. And I carry one to work. To add to my lunch, my coffee, of the sun is too hot and might burn my skin...
My family of 4 goes through that much in about 6 months.
I don't know how okay I am with keeping mayo for 6 months
PH is 3-4, nothing wants any of that action.
There's a reason ketchup and mayonnaise are the classic American condiments, that being that they are acidic enough to remain shelf stable for years. I ain't even joking pre refrigerators that was a massive boon and fridges didn't become common for house holds until the 1950s ice boxes not withstanding.
Ridiculous excess. Probably also has three times the ingredients.
The bigger a container I buy, fewer resources are wasted on packaging and transport
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 :)
Hey we aren't the weirdos who dip our fries in it.
Oh wait that does sound pretty good actually
I wouldn't want to dip my fries in Americans.
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.
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.
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.
I don't need to worry about that because I just refill it from a larger container
Yeah don't do that multiple times. One or two times isn't going to kill you but if you did it for years and had pieces of ancient mayo in there that sounds like a health concern.
I'll go get a new knife if I have to open up a new jar to finish something.

Mayo squeeze bottle, the best thing since sliced bread, especially when it's used on said sliced bread 🥪
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...

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.

In Europe it's code for "fatlards".
In America the family sized mayo comes in a 55 gallon barrel. That'll last for about a month.

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.
