When I was about 8yo my cousin introduced me to he called "mayonnaise sandwiches" - Miracle Whip about a 1/2" thick between two Bunny Bread slices, nothing else. I loved them things and I think we used a whole jar of dressing and a loaf of BB. (Lots of sugar in both, I know now)
So on the ride home I bugged Mom and Dad about buying "mayonnaise" so I could eat this wonderful stuff at home, up til that time they never bought either because before Rural Electrification the stuff was only good for one day or a few hours in summer; so we stop at the general store for cow feed and bacon and Mom got a 1/2 pint jar of Hellmann's ..., now you MW lovers know what my reaction was when I globbed a bunch of that on bread and tried to eat it!
Nasty doesn't do that stuff justice!
Well the folks put some on cold cut sandwiches and the rest was soon spoiled in the heat. Years later I learned to eat either on cold things, but mayo always tastes like it is the verge of spoilage. I can't stand either on warm or hot foods like a burger, I've gone hungry to keep from eating mayo a burger, that just smells bad. Can't even scrape the stench off either, if it's on the meat. Can't watch you eat it either.
It's probably 4-5 years since I ate either, my wife buys mayo for her tuna but I never touch it.

Im guessing the miracle whip was rancid and actually made it taste better.

I'm with you 90%. I like tuna only with Miracle Whip.

Blue plate mayonnaise only. No miracle whip

Hellman's mayo all the way!

Exactly!!
I don't even know why people equate the two items; just because they look similar and are in the same isle at the grocery store?
It must be a regional thing also, I only know one person who buys Miracle Whip, and he will admit to having no sense of smell or taste. Other than him know one I know uses it (he just buys it because it's cheap).
That stuff is disgusting.

Miracle whip!!!

Hellmann's Mayo and only Hellmann's Mayo.

Because they're both made with eggs and oil? Just not as much oil to qualify as mayo and have more sugar and spices.

Homemade mayo with good eggs is a special thing. My mom knew both well but I loved miracle whip and peanut butter sandwiches.

For me with tuna or eggs or ham it. is mayo. They do sell Hellmann's in France now.

Very large jar of Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise in fridge at all times to mix with Canned Suckers and Onions for lunch, Does not get any better.

First of all, I like them both. That being said, Miracle Whip has pretty much the same stuff as Hellmann's Mayo, eggs, soybean oil, corn starch, salt, etc. As far as chemicals, Miracle Whip has potassium sorbate and calcium disodium. Mayo has calcium disodium too. Both are preservatives. Mayo has more total fat and cholesterol, but less carbs. Still a long way from being plastic like margarine is. After reading the label on margarine, we switched to real butter too. Much better taste.

Miracle Whip is an abomination.

How uncouth! Getting back to age-old question...Miracle Whip.

^^^^^^yes, this. And miracle whip mixed with dill relish makes the best tartar sauce bar none.....

Hellmann's / Best on the west coast Hellmann's is Best foods same jar but it says Best

I only eat Mayonnaise............................................When there's no Miracle Whip.

Miracle whip

Mayo.... Never Miracle Whip...

It’s gotta be mayo. If you put miracle whip on my sandwich then F you! Lol
