There’s no shortage of divisive foods in the world, but for many people, there seems to be a special kind of derision reserved especially for one particular condiment: Mayo. Some people really hate mayonnaise. And it isn’t just always just simple dislike; among the anti-mayo crowd, there’s a contingent who are vehemently opposed to the stuff. Feelings can run so strongly that it might lead you to wonder exactly why so many people hate mayonnaise so much — but perhaps not unexpectedly, there isn’t just one explanation for the strength of feeling so many share about mayo. It might come down to any number of possibilities, according to several experts with whom Bustle recently spoke — but together, these possibilities paint a compelling larger picture about what fuels our likes and dislikes when it comes to our gastronomic experiences.

I'm indifferent to mayonnaise.
I detest the author.
How’s your potato salad?
Same here. And I use a LOT. Deviled eggs, potato salad, egg salad sandwiches, tuna and mac salad, coleslaw ... on and on. I'm hungry!
Me too.
Also a tartar sauce guy.
Either on fries.
Never been big on ketchup or mustard.
One cannot unsee what has been seen
“A sandwich isn’t a sandwich ...”
Mayo is just a substitute when Miracle Whip isn’t available, imho.
Only commies hate mayo.
“I know I’m weird, I can’t stand mayo.”
Ditto. Disgusting slime.
Hold the tomato and add mushrooms, and I’m with you on the perfect burger. Mayo is something I’d clean off my shoes if I accidentally stepped in it. I’d shoot it if it tried to sneak onto my food.
“My wife can barely look at mayonnaise “
I gag at yogurt — the look, the smell.
Without mayo, sandwiches are dry. You could go with butter, but that’s more of a British thing.
I’m with u- that shit is nasty!!!
Wow. Talk about ‘over analysis’. I couldn’t even get through the article.
(I wonder if people who ‘hate’ mayonnaise have ever had the real, home-made stuff...or just stuff in jars.)
Next let us talk about raisins. An extraordinary number of people seem to despise raisins...
I love mayo. Whether it’s on a sandwich or hoagie (hot or cold), or in a potato, macaroni salad.
Miracle Whip has its place too. I used to use it to add a zing to my wing sauces.
When I need Mayo, I just make it. It takes less than 2 minutes. Simple ingredients, simple to make - just egg, oil, a mason jar, and an immersion blender.
I buy a tiny jar of Duke’s from time to time. My wife uses it to make tartar sauce.
Otherwise it’s Miracle Whip for everything else.
Did that in college when I ran out of oleo.
Mayo? If it’s just oil and egg why does it taste like krap? It’s slimy. It stinks. It rots in the sun. I’m with your wife. I won’t even touch a jar with a bare hand. Move it with a stick. Do you warn your wife before you do that neckid thing?
Yes. Duke’s has real mayo ingredients and taste unlike the white bread mayos on the market
I wonder how many people who “hate” mayonnaise were programmed to do so by “comedians” ...
