slo’s MONDAY 1/9 poll - Mayonnaise/Miracle - Spread vs. Squeeze

[slo]

Do you like Mayo or Miracle Whip on your sandwich, burger and etc?
If yes….Do you like to scoop & spread (jar) or squeeze & squirt (bottle)?
This is your normal routine with this - there’s always exceptions.


For Me……I like to scoop & spread with a knife.
I‘ve bought squeeze bottles before and I end up spreading the Mayo with a knife after I squirt it, so I may as well just buy the jar, not the bottle.

*Inspiration for today’s poll is me spreading Mayo on my DH’s sandwich this morning and having to open a new jar. Made me wonder who likes what in regards to this

scoop with a knife and spread if making a sandwich.

scoop with a spoon if using bigger portions, like sauces, etc

Best Foods only!!

Same, but Duke's is the mayo of choice as far as I'm concerned.

 

[RedAngie]

I’ve tried squeeze bottles but about 10% still remains when “empty” and no amount of reasonable effort can extract it.

So back to jars where 99.9% can be used.

I use both mayo and Miracle Whip.

 

[CynBeth]

We use a jar of either mayo or Miracle Whip.

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

Scoop and spread most of the time, although my husband will sometimes buy the flavored mayos in the squeeze bottles We prefer Hellman’s or Duke’s mayonnaise- whichever is on sale.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Knife or spoon depending how much is needed, sandwich or something like egg salad.

 

[mamamary]

I’m scoop and spread although I probably wouldn’t care either way. The 4 of us are not big mayo people at all. I put in on macaroni salad which I feel like I make somewhat often. I use a lot so I wouldn’t want to squeeze in that case. The last few years if Hellmann’s isn’t on sale I get the store brand because it honestly tastes the same to me and it’s maybe half price. Never tried Dukes but saw it is on sale by me at a local store.

Until this thread I didn’t realize Hellmanns had 2 n in it.

 

[fly girl]

Either one.

I buy Hellman's (or occasionally Duke's) when it's on sale, and sometimes you don't get the choice. If given the option, jar.

 

[DisneyHardin]

Squeeze bottles for me.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Miracle Whip ONLY!! I can’t stand anything else !!! Scoop & spread person here !!! Love my Miracle Whip !!!!

 

[mumto3girls]

I will buy whatever is on sale. No one in my house eats Mayo except in dips or something like that.

 

[wenrob]

I’m a mayo girl in a Miracle Whip world. In the past I’ve been known to bring a small jar of mayo when staying with family. Best Foods. I have long ago switched to the Olive Oil or Canola Oil version. Jar and a knife, squeeze bottle is too Miracle Whip like. DH has Miracle Whip in a squeeze bottle.

 

[jo-jo]

Both jar and squeeze. Jar for needing gobs like cole slaw or tuna salad. Squeeze for sandwich. Mayo, what ever is on sale.

 

[Ensusieasm]

Squeeze. It’s more sanitary, because the spoon or knife double dipping in the jar contaminates the mayonnaise, which then sits in the refrigerator for weeks.

 

[Schneewittchen37]

I'm a whatever person. Most importantly, it has to b Hellman's mayo. For the last few weeks, I've been using a squeeze bottle, but next time I need a new jar, I'll get whatever has the lowest unit price.

 

[Moliphino]

Whatever is available is fine.

I usually buy the big jars of mayo because it's cheaper, so I spread with a knife. I do have a small squeeze bottle of chipotle mayo, too.

 

[easyas123]

Most importantly, it has to b Hellman's mayo

Agreed!

I could go either way, but usually just buy the jar. Squeeze bottles are good for a large gathering when lots of folks are having a go at the condiments.

 

[ronandannette]

I’ve tried squeeze bottles but about 10% still remains when “empty” and no amount of reasonable effort can extract it.

So back to jars where 99.9% can be used.

I use both mayo and Miracle Whip.

Yes, and the opening is too small to get a spatula down in there. Then there’s the splattering when the bottle is part-way empty and it comes out in globs, not to mention the fart noise.

We rarely use either of these as condiments; almost always just for recipes, so the good, old-fashioned jar that I can measure out of is all I buy.

 

[AppleDumpling]

I don’t typically put mayo on sandwiches; I use other condiments. Mostly use it for tuna salad and other salads, and it’s easier to scoop out a larger quantity from a jar. I buy the light variety of Hellmann’s or the store brand. Never had Miracle Whip.
