I’m tired of pretending it’s not.

    Miracle Whip is made from water, soybean oil, high-fructose corn syrup, vinegar, modified corn starch, eggs, salt, natural flavor, mustard flour, potassium sorbate, spice, and dried garlic.

    So, a lot of shit that is unhealthy. It’s not unpopular, you’re just wrong.

    Mustard and hot sauce are all that matter.

    Mayo and ranch are fatty white bread lame

      What sort of highlights creation did you make when you substituted whipped cream, you know, dairy and air for miracle web? Fats, solids, lipids, all that whole weird craziness?

        Hydrogenated oils and hf corn syrup, nfw.

        Give me the real.

        Let the lemmings have their miracle whip, ranch, mayo and margarine.

    If it wasn’t selling sufficient to encourage repurchasing, it wouldn’t still be on the shelves. Just like Coke and Pepsi and the “generic” store brands.

    I wouldn’t argue that any choice is better than another, unless you’re talking cheaper or lower calorie or something, but you are definitely allowed to like one more than another.

    there’s a few things where mayo is used, where the sweetness of salad dressing like miracle whip just won’t do.

    but for the most part, yea. salad dressing is better. i keep a jar of it in the fridge and use some at least 1-2 times a week. i only get mayo when i need it… and then i often just keep packets from takeaway or ‘event’ meals to use later. i’d never use a whole jar of mayo before it turned to yuck.

    The last time I used miracle whip was when I made what I dubbed “the whitest sandwich”:

    2 slices of Kahn’s bologna

    2 slices Kraft American cheese

    2 slices of Wonderbread

    Miracle Whip

    Side of Lays plain potato chips

    It wasn’t bad, but I never used that jar again, and it was the only time in the last 25 years I had miracle whip on purpose.

    That’s because it’s still mined from the deep well deposits that exist underneath Indiana.

    While “real” mayonnaise is that abomination the French came up with after they mined out all of their deposits.

    It’s just whatever you grew up with, like so many things.

    I like Miracle Whip. And considering it’s still sold, plenty of people agree with me.

    Having said that, I haven’t had it in years because of what it’s made out of. Same for many other foods.

    Never upvoted an unpopular opinion so fast.

    I’ve had that stuff once in my life, and that was enough. Unbelievable.

    As a general rule, anything you’re whipping up fresh is going to be better than what comes out of a can.

    But I’ll spot you that the generic brand store bought mayo jar is marginally less appealing that the name brand improved variety.

    Definitely. As an industrial lubricant, you’ll not find a superior product to stop that sliding door from squeaking.

    I have heard that some fools consider it edible though. I cannot fathom why however. Molten glass dipped in sulphuric acid would be more palatable.
