Does it bug you when people equate mw with mayo?

16 Comments

The only things Miracle Whip and mayo have in common is color and texture. It stops there. Mayo eaters typically don't like MW and vice versa.

Why do people call MW mayo?? Especially in a restaurant!! I don't even know how many times I've asked for mayo on my food and I got MW. Gross, and it ruined my food!! If you only use or stock MW, then say so and don't call it mayonaisse!! MW is NOT mayo!!

Agree??

Yes, there's a HUGE difference and it's important!! 22
Yes, irritating, but it's not a huge deal to me if I get a surprise. 4
I don't care, I'll eat anything! 15
Some people use either/or for health reasons so it's important. 1
I like to get what I ask/pay for so please use the right words!! 7
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    You should look at the ingredients of the two products before you get your panties in a bunch. Miracle whip is mayo with added spices. That's like saying Dijon mustard isn't mustard because it isn't yellow mustard. I agree, they taste different. And if you don't like it, it will ruin your food. Maybe you should check the quality of the restaurant you are dining at. Places that serve quality food will notice the subtle difference. You often get what you pay for.

      And you should check that rotten attitude at the door. What makes you think you can (or SHOULD) talk to people like that?? I KNOW what the ingredients in MW are, thank you. It contains basic mayo, high fructose corn syrup and sugar, along with several spices. And sorry I'm such a scumbag and so far beneath you because I go to delis and order sandwiches. Wow.

        Its really annoying when people post on this site and then get all super sensitive when someone else thinks your question is dumb. Granted Howaminotmyself took you super literal, dont act like a little BIATCH telling him about his attitude. Take the shit on the chin or keep it movin.

        For the record, i like both and prefer each at seperate times. PS, i cant remember ever getting miracle whip at a restaurant though... where the hell do you eat?

    While i still think that it was petty of you to get pissed whan howaminotmyself to check your comment, i do understand the whole "gack" reaction to MW when expecting Mayo. Question though... how is it that you are so particular about that and dont specify it with the restaurant? I dont get it. I mean, its like, when i go to a Chinese restaurant, I am picky about my fried rice. If the shit has peas, carrots etc. in it i hate it. Thats why i ask. No way am i driving home to discover the vegetable medly in my rice. I would be pissed... so i ask... so i dont become...well... you pickin up what i'm throwin down? I knew you would...

    Just the other day, my roommates and I were picking up a couple groceries. Last thing we needed was mayo, she picks up mw. I immediately say, "ewwww, we need mayo and better make it kraft." Lol they told me its the same thing. Ehh, unfortunately not.

    I like MW. And just as Howaminotintomyself said, it's the same only with added spices. You seem to not be in such a good mood. I'm guessing someone gave you MW recently...

      It's not so much the spices that bother me, it's the sugars. I just dislike biting into my sandwich and getting a big sweet taste when I'm expecting mayo! It's a shock to say the least.

        I can see the dislike there. Understandable.

    I'm going to annoy you hugely and say that I don't think either of them should be called mayo. Mayonnaise is faintly yellow (because of the egg yolks) and is slightly vinegary. The white stuff we buy in jars (and I admit I buy it too) is, at best, mayonnaise substitute.

      I've made mayo at home before and you are correct, sir! However I found it to be more of a chore than it was worth, I'd rather pay a couple bucks for a jar that'll last me forever! I seem to recall my homemade mayo didn't keep well at all...
