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...

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.

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.
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.
Maybe American ant size. Costco sells a lovely 1.9L jar.

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 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.

Mayo squeeze bottle, the best thing since sliced bread, especially when it's used on said sliced bread 🥪
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 America the family sized mayo comes in a 55 gallon barrel. That'll last for about a month.

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.

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!
