MY SON JAKE, who’s 25, eats mayo. He’s a practical young man who works in computers and adores macaroni salad. He’s a good son. I also have a daughter. She was a women’s and gender studies major in college. Naturally, she loathes mayonnaise.
Damn I was seconds away from posting this article.
Anyway here are my favorite parts.
While I wasn’t watching, mayo’s day had come and gone. It’s too basic for contemporary tastes — pale and insipid and not nearly exotic enough for our era of globalization. Good ol’ mayo has become the Taylor Swift of condiments.
But what young people really, really love to hate on is mayonnaise. Back in 2013, BuzzFeed ran an article titled “24 Reasons Mayonnaise Is the Devil’s Condiment.” (The writer called it “slime of Satan.”) Just three years later, BuzzFeed ran another piece, “23 Things You’ll Only Understand If You Fucking Hate Mayo.” By a different author. There was no overlap.

This lady wrote a dissertation on the decline of mayonnaise and still managed to include a paragraph saying her son is the favorite child lmao
I have never been anywhere where deviled eggs, properly prepared, weren’t one of the if not the first thing to go. Chicken salad sales like crazy, they even offer it at Greek restaurants like Taziki’s. Most Europeans dip their damn fries in it.

This is so dumb that I might actually read the article for once.
Also, I regularly eat mayonnaise, particularly with fries. Always thought it's weird how people signal their... urbane-ness(?) by saying they hate that particular condiment.
I grew up in the backwoods of Mississippi and I always hated mayonnaise.
Weirdly I've found I don't hate flavored mayonnaise. Like spicy mayonnaise tends to be pretty good. But if I made a sandwich and put mayo on it, literally I would wretch. I prefer any other kind of fat, literally I'll just pour olive oil on the sandwich rather than use mayo.
Why is fucking mayonnaise an identity issue for Americans anyway, I wouldn't even particularly associate it with Americans either like the article does
that write seems to want to say something else but cant. I sense some alt-right in there. if it was mearly about mayo I think the article would flow differently.
"My son Jake, who is 25, is a big strong muscly boy who eats mayonnaise like Americans. My daughter, whose name disgusts me, hates mayonnaise almost as much as she hates America. She studied advanced lesbianism in college and every tuition bill was like a punch in my stomach."

We are all Jake. Who doesn't love macaroni salad? Nazis, and probably women's studies majors.
1 AntiLuke 2018-08-12
I don't, I also only like a very specific kind of potato salad.

I just got back from eating potato salad.

Everything is an identity signal now. Kill me, daddy.

Liking mayonnaise is basically a dog whistle for being alt-right. You have been made head of Identity Europa. Here's your armband.
1 ABigBigThug 2018-08-12
Hope that's an XXL armband, because my biceps are enormous from consuming nutrient rich mayo, much like the men of the greatest generation.

Mayonnaise is the most American of all foods, incredibly basic and literally just fat. Change my mind.

Ketchup, sweaty

Which is a bastardization of a Asian fish sauce.

Egg and vinegar, loser.

mayo is just called aioli now
i just threw up in my mouth when they mentioned macaroni salad
1 wtfuxlolwut 2018-08-12
Aioli has garlic and lemon in it. It's nice but some times you just want some egg yolk and oil on your chips/samich
1 JohnGalt316 2018-08-12
hipster restaurants just rename mayo to aioli to make it sound fancy

Philadelphia Magazine is made by, and for, wealthy white suburbanites who tremble at the thought of actually entering city limits.

Trust me it's just a slow news day and they had some crazy boomer shit out some article for easy controversy.
1 schoolboystirner 2018-08-12
It's entirely manufactured.
1 cochnbahls 2018-08-12
Because of the movie undercover brother.
1 rekt_brownie 2018-08-12
Mayonnaise was a favorite amongst plantation owners. It’s a big symbol for the oppression of black people to this day. It’s also white.
1 VidiotGamer 2018-08-12
Just rename Mayonaise as "Aoli" and it'll fly off the shelves along with avocado toast.
1 Secateurs 2018-08-12
Kewpie or nothing.

Japanese mayo is good just not on pizza

she even rambles for a paragraph about how the darn millennials dont eat her favorite restaurants, red lobster and applebees
1 redfield021767 2018-08-12
The nerve of millennials for not wanting to pay $20 for a microwaved steak.
1 Karlore473 2018-08-12
slap some ketchup on that and serve with fries blasted in salt it's a great boomer meal
1 watermark02 2018-08-12
If I wanted to eat seafood, literally anywhere will give you better crab than red lobster.
1 1alian 2018-08-12
But do they have lobster and waffles? Checkmate
1 _Suprememe_ 2018-08-12
For a demographic that idolizes the free market, boomers sure do seem to hate whenever it works perfectly.
1 machine667 2018-08-12
My spouse is from Mexico, her sister and her family came up to stay with us for a week in Toronto the other week. Great people, nice family.
I made deep fried hot dogs (try it if you haven't, they're the shit), and these motherfuckers put goddamned mayo on them.
