Mayo vs Miracle Whip

Except the difference is that one of the things about sandwich spreads is that they're supposed to taste good; actually, that's the only thing about sandwich spreads. It's great for them that they aren't changing their recipe for nobody, but it doesn't change the fact that it still tastes like crap, and having indie-rock girls and vaguely punkish music isn't going to change that.

I love that girl. Thrusting her Miracle Whip at me suggestively. Yeah, I see you looking at me like that.

I honestly have no idea what Miracle Whip tastes like. I've always had Mayonnaise.

Miracle Whip ftw!

I love dipping fries in this stuff.

I grew up on Miracle Whip and I still use it in sandwiches. But since starting to have mayo as an adult, I use it for most of the time. Fries and mayo FTW.

[TurnedTheCorner]

Mayo seems more legit than Miracle Whip.

[getbak]

Both are horrible.

[ResAlien]

Miracle Whip is awesome on sandwiches. Oddly enough, I cannot stand the taste of mayo, it's one of the most revolting things in this world.

Miracle Whip was originally made as salad dressing.


Yuck.


I am mayo all the way! I used to drench my fries in mayo and was hooked on it. I then realized how terrible it is for you and stopped. I still miss it tho.

I used to love mayo and tomatos on sandwiches. A bad experience changed that forever. Mayo should be eradicated from the planet, and tomatoes should stay in bolognese sauce where they belong.
Uh, wait. I still love eating tomatos like apples. And I like cherry tomatos in salad. And ketchup is good, too. And tomato soup. But tomatos have no business near any of my sandwiches. Except for a good button bun drizzled with olive oil and pepper, a slice of tomato, and some bocconcini. Other than that, tomatos suck.

I used to feel that way about Sambuca, but I got over it.

Anyway, any of you who said that they like Miracle Whip are automatically going on my ignore list.

Bad experience? Rotten tomato? Mayo went off? Inquiring minds WANT to know.

Mayo FTW always.....Miracle Whip is unnatural and tastes like they added a tablespoon of sugar or something to it.

The only things I like to dip my fries in are ketchup, gravy, or tzatziki sauce (gotta love the fries at Opa!)

After a year on exchange in the Netherlands, it was something I got use to. It's a special kind of mayo over there though. I believe the Germans and the French also use mayo to dip their fries in

Worked seismic in the arctic. My first night, I couldn't understand why the pb&j trays were picked clean, and the delicious sandwich trays were still full (the cooks put out trays of sandwiches, and we packed our own lunches).
I loaded up on the good sandwiches, and went to work.
The only place to store your lunch was under the seat in the Nodwell. Right by the heater. Let's just say that I learned two things that night:

1. never bring a sandwich with tomatos or mayo
2. sh*tting outside in minus 50 sucks balls

when life gives you mayo....make mayo-hem!

It really depends on the application in my opinion.

On poultry based sandwiches, miracle whip is awesome.

On bovine based, definitely mayo. Anytime mustard comes into the equation Miracle Whip is a no-go for me.

Any type of mayo based salad, or sandwich filling, mayo wins in a landslide. I love egg salad with mayo, but once its switched to miracle whip, I am always thinking it tates like spoiled eggs.

The only draw I can think of is tuna. I can go with either. On high quality albacore, mayo would be preferred. On the cheapie skip jack stuff, I find Miracle Whip kills the overly fishy taste it seems to have sometimes.

I have been known to throw Miracle Whip on the next day thanksgiving turkey sandwiches only in emergencies (out of mayo emergencies). We've all done it. God forbid we use mustard. *pukes*

[Flamesguy_SJ]

Around here they mean the same thing (Miracle Whip is mayo).

[Akai-Sesui]

Strangely enough, I like the spicy mayo that they give you in KFC Spicy Big Crunch sandwiches.

This exactly, except for one thing. My homemade potato salad has to be miracle whip. I can use less of it to get more flavour and I hate overly creamy potato salad. Having said that, my potato salad does have mustard in it as well, but that's the exception to the rule. .
