I'm sad that I missed posting this on the 4th
600g? Those are rookie numbers. You call that American size? Our smallest jars are 390 (15 oz) grams. Regular and large jars are 780 (30 oz) and 1248 grams (48 oz). And they do have ridiculously big jars too, 1 gallon jars, i.e. 128 oz and 3328 grams, for, like, restaurants and doomsday preppers... or dudes that just really love mayonnaise, I guess.
Maybe don't eat the mayo in the doomsday prepper bunker.
You leave me and my gallons of bunker mayo alone.
That sounds like how the zombie apocalypse starts.
Zombie or no zombie, it's how I'm going out.
or dudes that just really love mayonnaise, I guess.
You know it's nice to be seen
Out of curiosity, I just checked my pantry. I have two 30 ounce jars (1400+ grams), sitting in reserve.
This genuinely represents a failure to comprehend the scale of American food products.
They're not lieing...
this is literally the first thing that comes up if you search mayonaise in the US.
That's not big enough.
It should be the 2 gallon Costco-sized jug to truly be 'Merican.
Real American Mayonaise , nearly 2 litres each, comes in a 2 pack....
Ridiculous excess. Probably also has three times the ingredients.
To be fair, it's a bulk club; they're designed to service businesses, but price-wise to value we go through that much in a year and they have great expiration dates. My pantry exceeds the stock of a small European market :)
The bigger a container I buy, fewer resources are wasted on packaging and transport
How does it compare to amateur mayonnaise?
Amateur mayonnaise practices until it gets it right.
Professional mayonnaise practices until it does not get it wrong.

Costco size in the US:
For those in less free areas, that's about 3x the size as the one in the picture. Regular grocery-store mayo (in a jar) is about half the Costco size (something like 850 grams?), and mayo in a squeeze bottle is about the size of the jar picture above.
We, uh, kinda like mayo here...
Wow, this made me realize I haven't seen mayo in a glass jar in years.
Can you fit your fist through the top? Can you scoop out a handful easily and leave fingertrails in the bottom? Then it's just normal sized IMO.
That's just silly, its not even that big. That's a normal big jar of mayo.
With chocolate bars, premade meals, drinks, ect, its a "size" that works as a gimmick but mayo?
As an American, that's a normal small size of mayo. Most of our "regular" sizes are almost double that, this is about the size of those smaller squeeze bottles:
This bottle design is an utter bastard. You simply can't get the last bits out of there no matter how much you wait or bang or make it cough and splutter to your food.
I'm sure someone has actually designed it that way as opposed to designing it in a way that would be best for the consumer.
Is the American mayonnaise even as real as this real American mayonnaise??
In Brazil the "American cup" is the smallest size of cup and I'm always found that hilarious.
Hey we aren't the weirdos who dip our fries in it.
Oh wait that does sound pretty good actually
In Europe it's code for "fatlards".
Mayo tanker truck waiting patiently for the BBQ sauce and Pepto Bismol tanker trucks to depart...
As someone who lives in Utah, there better be a ketchup truck pulling up soon because I have a hankering for fry sauce!
Finland is in the top 10 of the most mayo consuming countries, so they could just as well call it "save a trip" size.
Should call that classic American Size. Today the standard container size measured in American comes half filled at twice the price.
Hell yeah.
