Am I the only one that thinks mayonnaise is the most disgusting food product ever? (OK, ketchup is also pretty horrible too.)

Are you in US? If so, I'm not sure you've ever tried it - what we have marketed and sold as mayonnaise here is something very different (and indeed, quite disturbing) substance: the color, texture and, obviously, the taste is quite different. I used to think that mustard is absent in US as well, but then I found that it's actually sold as "English mustard" but I haven't found real mayonnaise yet...

Man, you do not want to come to the inland West. It's supposedly worst in Utah, but we have it in eastern Washington too--a disgusting little invention called "fry sauce" which is nothing more than a combination of ketchup and mayonnaise.

Fries with ketchup and mayo are delicious and pretty standard in Southern Europe.

I love mayo. But I love the movie Undercover Brother where The Man uses Denise Richards to seduce Undercover Brother into enjoying "white people food" like mayo. I had no idea!

Troll or not, that was amazing. If not for a few things, it would sound completely legit. Can someone disprove the use of mayonnaise as hair conditioner?

Strangely enough, this is actually true. One of my ex-girlfriends used to use mayo as a conditioner every now and then.

Although, I still don't buy mayo as a bedroom lubricant...

This is obviously a fake, a joke, a prank post, a troll, etc. Just read the comments.

" For me, it was more than just male bonding and mayonnaise in my sweltering hot basement. That was probably the best summer of their lives."

I don't know whether this is serious, trolling, or a damn good sense of humor.

Personally I find "Ranch" more disgusting but my anecdotal food trend observations suggest that I'm in a minority in the USA.
