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.

Took someone long enough! MAY-O-NAZE!!!
all those foods make me nauseous.
Yep. BLT is best with mayo. Same for a turkey & bacon club sandwich.
Belgians make the best fries and serve them with mayo, but it’s not quite the same as US mayo. It’s more like aioli.
Gotta have mayo mixed in tuna and def on a BLT. Not on burgers but mix mayo with hot sauce and lime juice makes a nice condiment for fish tacos. Coat fish in a layer of Mayo and coat with seasoned bread crumbs and bake. I’ll fight for the dignity of my mayo use, LOL.
Miracle Whip is terrible. Mayo is ok.
Nasty stuff. We used to grow pathogens in it.
I used to eat mayonnaise sandwiches all the time.
I like both. I don’t really know what the difference is.
Let your dinner date see you making mayonnaise, it is very easy and takes about 3 minutes, but chicks think it shows skills.
Duke’s always seemed too sweet to me.
I’m a Hellman’s fan.
Lebanon baloney, plus tomatoes plus miracle whip on bread is something too delicious.
“It rots in the sun”
Hence, the expression “ROTFLMAO”.
The French eat their potato fries with mayo, instead of ketchup.
I’ve never heard any ‘comedy’ about mayo; but I know that fruitcake got a bad name largely due to Johnny Carson.
I lived in The Netherlands for a year or so. Dinner often consisted of frites with frites sauce... i.e. mayonnaise! Loved ‘em.
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons white vinegar
½ teaspoon dry mustard powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups vegetable oil
A bacon, tomato sandwich with mayo & peanut butter is a taste sensation!
