Kraft Made a Divided Mayonnaise Jar So Couples Can Finally Stop Arguing About Condiments

Name a condiment more divisive than mayonnaise — oh wait, you can't. Mayonnaise can play a significant role in the kitchen, namely adding much-needed moisture to sandwiches, overcooked meat, and even cake, but let's face it, plenty of people hate it, and that's one hundred percent justified (even if they are wrong).

Are you in a relationship that's been divided by mayo? I am, and to be honest, if my partner is gonna tease me about something, I'd much rather it be my love of mayonnaise than any of my flaws. The folks over at Kraft seem to share that sentiment, because they've come up with something called a limited-edition Mayo-Divided Jar that's designed to amuse both mayonnaise lovers and haters.

The Mayo-Divided Jar is actually a set of two jars: One is filled with mayo, and the other is completely empty, just the way the mayonnaise-hater in the relationship wants it. If you think the Mayo-Divided Jar(s) is a ridiculous thing to purchase, there's good news — it's not for sale! It's a contest prize, which gives it significantly more value. All you have to do for a shot at winning one is reach out to Kraft on Twitter and, using the #MayoDividedCouples and #sweepstakes hashtags, explain why your relationship needs a Mayo-Divided Jar. The contest is officially underway and will continue through February 7. And look at it this way: If you do win, maybe that's a sign that your relationship can survive anything, even if you can't agree on condiments.

Funny: We had one of those too. It’s what I use.

If you’ve never tried Sauce andalouse on belgian fries fried in olive oil, you don’t know what you’re missing (recipe for both is easy to find). But it takes a lot of mayo, so I mix it up at home for that. Same for tartar.

For a long time growing up I did not like "mayonnaise". I finally figured out that it was because my mom bought Miracle Whip, which I cannot stand. At some point she must have bought some "real" mayonnaise like Hellman's or Kraft, because after that I decided I liked it.

I had a similar experience. I thought I hated mayonnaise.

When I was a teenager I was invited by my girlfriend to the "Senior Banquet" at her Christian school. The school would not allow them to dance, so this was their substitute for prom. I asked what clothing was appropriate and was told "nice" clothes. I wore a suit.

I was the only attendee in a suit. Everyone was in jeans and polo shirts. Awkward! To add discomfort, the "banquet" was 6 foot subs from a local place called La Spadas. All of the sandwiches had mayo on them.

Not wanting to look even more out of place than I already was, I took a slice and a tentative bite. The clouds parted...the angels sang...and a beam of light from heaven shown on me and my sandwich. This was not mayonnaise...this was wonderful! I tossed my tie and jacket into a corner, relaxed and had a great time.

The next day I shared with my mom that I now liked mayonnaise. She was making sandwiches for lunch and put "mayo" on my sandwich. I took a bite and almost ralphed. This was NOT mayonnaise! Mom held up her jar of Miracle Whip and said "Yes, it is!"

Mayonnaise = Good.

Miracle Whip = Nasty crap.

I grew up eating Mayonnaise Sandwiches. Two pieces of White Bread with a generous amount of Hellmans (Best Foods West of the Mississippi) Mayonnaise slathered between them. My Mother grew up in Brooklyn during the Depression. They made their own Mayonnaise and bought day old bread. It filled their Stomachs and that was all that mattered. Mayonnaise is the food of the Gods. Off topic, but not using Mayonnaise on a Sandwich is the same as going to Tommy Burgers and telling them to hold the Chili. A guy in front to me ordered his Burger that way and everyone just rolled their eyes including the Cashier. Was always a Hellmans / Best Foods fan but I really like Dukes since we moved to the South. They also still use a 32oz Bottle, not the 30 oz their competitors use.

How disgusting!!

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I make ours but Hellmann's is acceptable.

Kraft should stick with cheese.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Yes. Aioli or curry mayo with really good fries. One of the only things I really liked in England.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Spread mayo on your bread for grilled cheeses instead of butter.

[Ancesthntr]

Batampte is acceptable.

It is REALLY good on pastrami egg-rolls. Dip into mustard, bite off and savor a piece. Repeat until you cannot eat even an Andes mint (Monty Python’s “Meaning of Life” reference). Closest thing to Heaven on this side.

I am not a mayo fan, though I kinda like Miracle Whip. My sister, OTOH, utterly LOATHES any white condiment. Mayo, MW, sour cream, cottage cheese. If it’s white and the least bit wet, she’s on a tear and off her meds, so to speak.

So yes, there are people that would rather die of hunger than allow that particular product into their gullet, and would fight to the death to prove it.

Try to find a commercially prepared salad dressing that does NOT contain soybean oil.

Call me back next year.

Try "Primal Kitchen" salad dressings.   You can often get some in the supermarket, or you might want to see some of their varieties by checking Amazon, then maybe buying them somewhere else.
