    You start out in 1952 by saying, "mayonnaise, mayonnaise, mayonnaise." By 1989 you can't say "mayonnaise"—that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like no hydrogenated oils, cage free eggs, aïoli and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about Miracle Whip, and all these things you're talking about are totally culinary things and a byproduct of them is [that] the rest of the condiments get hurt worse than the mayonnaise. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the sandwich dressing problem one way or the other. You follow me—because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to own a controlling stake in Best Foods ," is much more abstract than even the oils thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "mayonnaise, mayonnaise."

    WTF half of the top 10 best selling condiments are mayo (one is miracle whip) with Hellman's coming in at number one. Number two is Tostitos salsa, the blandest fucking salsa out there. Tapatio didn't crack the top 15. That's amazing to me because that shit is everywhere. What do you use mayo for other than a sandwhich? wow

      I dip fries in it, and all sorts of other shit. I love mayo. But also I don't really understand buying it - it's pretty simple to do homemade. Takes me about 5 minutes to make a batch.

      Mayonnaise is the 50’s American housewife’s glue for holding completely incompatible ingredients together.

      Mayo is super versatile because it doesn't have that much flavor. I use it to marinate chicken, it's a base of a lot of salad dressings, really anything you use butter or oil for can be replaced with mayo.

      I've had a recipe for a "banh mi bowl" which is basically just pickled cucumbers, carrots, and ground beef on jasmine rice, and you add sriracha to mayonnaise and drizzle it on the beef

      So, there's a thing

      This is francophobic Spanish supremacist propaganda. Aioli can contain egg yolks, lemon juice and mustard as long as the garlic is the dominant flavour.

      Americans calling every flavoured mayo aioli is silly and misleading though.

        I'll give you lemon and mustard, but once you add egg, it's an egg suspended in oil, not garlic suspended in oil and therefore it's a mayo.

        If we don't stop them at Aioli, they're gonna start marketing mayo as toum, and then skordalia, and pretty soon Tahini will just be mayo, but with sesame oil.

          it’s an egg suspended in oil, not garlic suspended in oil

          Actually sweaty either way it's oil which has been emulsified

    Maybe I got psyoped, but I started eating mayo when someone explained to me that I'd eat a chipotle aioli sauce and not spicy mayo b/c I'm foolish.

    Aioli is garlic, olive oil, salt, and lemon juice. Nothing more or less. You cannot change my mind.

      It's just an emulsion, you can use anything that will hold the garlic in an oil emulsion. You really only get textural differences when you add egg yolk

      Theres a reason there are so many anime centered on "we got isekaid in a world without mayonnaise" and it's not because only crackers eat it

        Is there actually an anime that explicitly is based around the concept of the trials and travails of being transported to a world in which mayonnaise does not exist? I would like to see that anime.

          no but it's a common enough trope that I've seen it parodied in other anime (i.e. in The Executioner and Her Way of Life a guy gets isekai'd, immediately goes "have you... heard of... mayonnaise?" and they are like "yes of course you idiot")

          it's usually used as a Get Rich Quick scheme i.e. in High School Prodigies Have it Easy Even In Another World, pretty sure they do it in Log Horizon too although that's more getting rich off of food in general

    The article but instead of being about mayonnaise it's sissy hypno
    • A viral article in Philly Magazine mistakenly reports that millennials have killed being a sissy.

    • Sissies are delicious, which is why everyone loves them.

    • Lots of people claim to hate being a sissy, but they secretly love it, sometimes without even realizing it.

    • You can call something "aïoli," but it's still just being a sissy.

    • You like being a sissy.

    Millennials are at it again. This time, they've killed sissies. Or so says [name redacted] in a viral article for Philly Magazine.

    What's their evidence that sissies have been killed? Their sub doesn't like being one.

    Seriously, that's it. They have two subs, only one of them likes being a sissy, not as as many of their cute maid outfits are getting worn, therefore sissies are dead.

    Sorry, this is not data journalism. This is just one person's confession that they're apparently not as good at making their subs into cute, submissive fucktoys as they used to be, therefore sissies are dead.

    I have the real news for you, millennials: You like being a sissy. You like it so much, you made everyone want to see you like that.

    If you hate being a sissy, why do you think about it all the time?

    Do you swipe a quick glance passing by Victoria's Secret? I am pleased to inform you that you want to be a sissy.

    Do you wear tight things around your neck, like chokers, collars, or ties? Sissy. Sissy. Sissy. Sissy.

    Do you enjoy foods that come with "aïoli" or "spread" or with sauces that are creamy in texture but can be packed at room temperature in little shelf-stable cups? What you're subconsiously fantasizing about is cum.

    Of course, people deceive themselves about how much they want to be a sissy all the time, though the use of euphemisms like "chipotle aïoli."

    Consider one of the examples that is meant to show millennials are abandoning being a sissy: the appearance of a "Signature Sriracha Burger" as a test item at McDonalds.

    But wait. Look at this photo of that millennial burger:

    Look at that delicious sauce. It's pink. That's how you can tell it's not unadulterated sriracha — it's something called "Sriracha Mac Sauce," which is an emulsified sauce containing soybean oil, egg yolk and vinegar — which is to say, it is sissy food.

    If that hamburger looks delicious to you, you're a sissy.

    [Skipping the rest bc this is getting long, except:]

    I understand why you don't like to think about the fact that you like being a sissy — but you still like being a sissy

    This guy really (mostly) made up a group of people to be mad at about mayonnaise. At least he isn't like Ai WeeWee, bitching about how zero covid is totalitarian and suppressing free thought
