In Brazil the "American cup" is the smallest size of cup and I'm always found that hilarious.

Should call that classic American Size. Today the standard container size measured in American comes half filled at twice the price.
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

Finland is in the top 10 of the most mayo consuming countries, so they could just as well call it "save a trip" size.
Hell yeah.
