i can't stand the hellman's stuff - it has this strange bitter after taste you get out of, like, british food, or something. or miracle whip; it tastes too synthetic. but i go through a container or two of the no name brand mayonnaise a month, here.

it's not for blts or fries though, it's for straight up tomato bagelwiches - sliced open and loaded up with tomatoes, mayo, hot sauce, salt & pepper to the point that one requires a fork and knife. i'll argue that this is actually a very healthy lunch, given that the mayo is the only discernible fat content in it.

i think that a lot of people have been brainwashed by a lot of years of poor science that suggests that mayonnaise is somehow unhealthy; they're really passing on an urban myth that was likely taught to them by their mothers.
