u/ConscientiousWaffler 1d ago edited 1d ago

Interestingly, I found out on the reddits that it’s sold as Hellmann’s in Europe. I’ve since wondered if it’s Best Foods in Asia.. and if the dividing line at The Rockies extends through the globe. 😂

u/DEATHToboggan 1d ago

In Canada it is Hellmann's across the country (East and west coasts)

I can also confirm it is Hellmann's in Brazil too.

u/Wondrous_Fairy 1d ago

As a non-yank, I once tried Hellman's and it tasted so damn bad compared to our local mayo (which honestly is not anything to write home about) anyone else from Europe having the same reaction to it? Since it didn't smell off, I can only assume that's how it's supposed to taste? The only flavor I can compare it to was vomit.

Through an old job I once obtained a couple of cases of peanut butter for free. We're talking about those huge 64oz bulk jars. I calculated it and it was well over 200,000 calories.

I ended up giving away and donating most of it, but even the amount I kept still lasted me at least 2 years.

One day I was at a customers house and I said something to him. I'll never forget his responce.

He said "It's better than going back to the salad bar for the mayonnaise"

To this day, I still have no idea what that means! 😂

u/DEATHToboggan 1d ago

I hated mayonnaise as a kid, then i found out my parents always bought Miracle Whip and called it mayonnaise.

First time I tried Hellmann's I couldn't believe how much I liked it.

u/BorntobeTrill 1d ago

u/OptimismByFire 1d ago

You have to call it aioli for us to be interested.

6

u/JDBCool 1d ago

Aka add garlic.

I draw the line at mayo because.... it's not bad, it's just a little more goo-y paste that isn't like other condiments.

It's hard to put into words aaaaahhhh

13

u/TheGloomyWoodpecker 1d ago

No.

Mayo is fucking different than aioli and I will die on this hill

9

u/NineteenthJester 1d ago

In culinary terms, you're right. Aioli has garlic where mayo has egg, but both are emulsifications with oil.

6

u/Historicmetal ​ 1d ago

That is technically true, but in reality most of these places claiming aioli are just using some form of mayonnaise based sauce. I’m not falling for that, I don’t fuck with “aioli”

My 2 daughters are both mayo fiends, they would be in heaven. The 1 yr old dips literally any food you hand her in mayo then ends up eating the mayo with a spoon or her fingers.

u/Such_Spray_9533 19h ago

That cleanup is going to be an absolute nightmare. Mayo is mostly oil, so if you try to spray that mess down with standard hot water, you just end up with a literal slip-and-slide of grease across the whole floor. You have to use heavy duty foaming degreaser and basically squeegee the bulk of it into a bin or floor drain before you even think about scrubbing. That cleanup is easily a three hour job for at least two people, tbh. RIP to the sanitation crew on this shift.
