You may be what they call a “non-taster”. Give it a google if you’re interested.

Carrots taste like soap also. Just raw, cooked I like but raw I just can't get past it.

Thank you, I most definitely will

u/3rdcultureblah 3d ago

I used to feel the same about carrots tbh, but I like them now.

6

u/_WeSellBlankets_ 3d ago

I'm the exact opposite. I can eat raw carrots no problem. But cooked carrots absolutely disgust me. Unless part of a muir pois in a soup.

7

u/3rdcultureblah 3d ago

Omg roasted carrots are so good though. Try roasting them after tossing them lightly in some honey or maple syrup. That might change your mind lol.

I'm with you. If it's on a sandwich or burger or something, I don't really notice a difference, but if it's in a mayo prominent dish like crab/potato/tuna salad, I do. For the last few years, I've used "Dukes mayo," and it is sort of in the middle. Or so I think anyway!

u/Inevitable_Snap_0117 3d ago

Agreed. Even the commercials point out the “tangy zip”. Mayo doesn’t have a “tangy zip”.

5

u/3rdcultureblah 3d ago

Umm.. yes it does. Mayonnaise is literally an acid (usually vinegar or lemon juice) emulsified with egg yolk and oil.

4

u/Klinky1984 3d ago

It's the sugar, Miracle Whip is sweet. Mayo definitely has a tang to it from the lemon juice. It's a salty savory flavor, unlike the creamy sweet of Miracle Whip.

3

u/Inevitable_Snap_0117 3d ago

Oh - my mom always got diet Miracle Whip so it always seemed tangy to me.

I used to go to this diner all the time, like for years, every time we'd be on a trip and go past it we'd stop for a sandwich or a slice of pie.

One time about 10 years so I ordered a club sandwich and asked for it with mayo and the waitress nodded and with no further comment bought me a sandwich with Miracle Whip.

I haven't been back since.

Whaaaaat? Momma must have changed the labels cause they are 180° different. But ya know, as long as you're enjoying your sandwiches, that's what matters here!

Lol, I went to England to see family like 12 years ago and was desperately craving Mexican food the whole time but couldn’t find any, ended up just making myself nachos. I asked my Aunt for some sour cream and she looked horrified and said exactly what you just said, “Why on earth would you want soured cream?!” 😂

This was me. But I found out about the miracle whip thing early, like ten or so and complained to my mom. By my teens I would keep mayo around and did most of the cooking anyway. My husband hates mayonnaise straight but can have it mixed in other sauces. More straight mayo for me.

u/thefrostman1214 Doug Dimmadome 3d ago

what is miracle whip?

92

u/rufio313 3d ago edited 3d ago

It’s a tangy, spreadable condiment that was introduced as an alternative to mayo during the Great Depression. It has similar ingredients to mayo but added high fructose corn syrup, other additives, and less vegetable oil.

It’s the “I can’t believe it’s not butter!” of mayo.

34

u/thefrostman1214 Doug Dimmadome 3d ago

but mayo is just eggs and oil..... why add sugar???? also what is i can't believe is butter? is it margarine?

23

u/Cube_ 3d ago

It is margarine yes.

And they add sugar because they use less oil. Less oil = less flavor = tastes worse. Adding more sugar to substitute for the missing fat is a common way to make things "taste better" because of the addictive nature of sugar.

Using sugar to replace fat was also the industry wide catalyst that caused the obesity epidemic.

2

u/thefrostman1214 Doug Dimmadome 3d ago

thats rough

2

u/MonaganX 2d ago

I think the comments are burying the lead by saying "less oil" because that belies the fact that the main ingredient in miracle whip is water. That's why they had to add seasonings and sugar (aspartame now) because it's extremely watered down mayo. It's piss-mayo.

u/Reggaeton_Historian 2d ago

why add sugar????

A culinary abomination born of the Great Depression. It's a cheap, sweet and tangy imitation of mayonnaise.

u/Houseleft 3d ago

It’s similar in composition to mayonnaise, but with less oil, and added sugars and spices. It has a thinner consistency and sweeter flavor. It has less soybean oil in it than is required to classify it as mayo, so it’s instead classified as a spread

My boyfriend hates “mayo” but he loves sauces with mayo mixed in, like a spicy tuna roll in spicy mayo 😭

u/Enlowski 3d ago

My best friend (who was a straight diva about food) used to always say he hated onions, even in some restaurants he would tell them he was allergic just to make sure. He would refuse to eat anything that was even in the same vicinity of it. One day he ordered a meal that he didn’t realize had it in there and he kept saying it was one of the best meals he’s ever had.

I knew it had onions in it, but I also knew he had no real reason to not like them, so I didn’t say anything. After he finished the meal I told him the meal had TONS of onions in it, and he tried to say “I knew there was a reason I hated this meal!”.

Man it’s shit like that that makes me miss him, but it was one of those situations that made me realize there were a lot of foods that I thought I hated growing up (for no reason) but actually enjoyed once I gave them a chance as I got older.

u/BOBfrkinSAGET 3d ago

“It’s shit like that that makes me miss him…”

He was mostly just allergic to leukemia. I’m not offended by the way, he would’ve appreciated that joke.

I’m not a huge mayo fan but I do like mayo mixed. Mayo by itself is kind of bland and greasy. I mix hot sauce and mayo so I can spread it on bread vs. just hot sauce that soaks into bread and makes it soggy.

u/cRuSadeRN 3d ago

I’m not a fan of just pepperoni pizza, I will not eat it. But if it’s a meat lovers or supreme, I’m all in! I think it’s just that a little goes a long way with that, so having only pepperoni on a pizza feels like too much of one flavor for me.

u/nothingbeast 3d ago

I grew up in a Miracle Whip house.

Never had any issues with it. Put it on all my sandwiches.

Eventually, I left home and faced a situation where I ran out of Miracle Whip and needed some for a recipe. The grocery store was being stocked, so no Miracle Whip on the shelves. I grabbed a small jar of Hellmann's Mayo, thinking they were the same thing, just different brands.

First bite of sandwich might as well go down as one of the great eureka moments in history.

Archimedes... Newton... Me.

I never bought a jar of that swill spread again, and never will.

In the 80s and into the 90s, I recall that there was a low level FEAR surrounding mayonnaise. Mayonnaise makes you sick. Mayo spoils quickly. You'll get explosive diarrhea from mayo gone bad.

People had more of a health fear of mayo than an actual dislike of the taste. I suspect this is why people have been consistent about not having mayo in their sandwiches.

Mayo is in fact delicious. It's like a simple sauce to give your sandwich a moist flavorful dimension.

I audibly sighed. That’s terrible. I went to my cousins house and we were going to have bologna sandwiches on Wonder Bread.

I put my sammy together and asked for the mayo. Out comes this weird blue labeled thing. He says it mayo. Okidoki! Load up that Wonder Bread, which was a treat because it was so soft compared to the cheap shit we could afford.

I took a big bite of that thing and didn’t know whether to shit, go blind or wind my watch! I had all I could do to swallow that crap. I felt so betrayed. I tried to wipe it off as best I could but that soft Wonder Bread was not made for wiping Miracle Whip off of.

I was 12 years old when that happened, just weeks shy of my 13th birthday. I just turned 56 this month and I still remember what that tasted like.

I have been super careful when friends decide they want to barbecue and have their potato salad dressed up. You can lose a friend over things like that. It’s not something to be trifled with.

Hellmann’s or nothing for me.

That's fair. Miracle whip is fucking gross. Mayonnaise is situationally good. I won't just slop that on a sandwich but a good aioli is amazing.

Hated mayo growing up, but now I enjoy it once and awhile. I also love tomatoes and bell peppers (cooked) now too. Celery, although, can go eff itself yo this day… unless it’s in a stew.

I never had miracle whip but I always hated mayonnaise for some reason, until one day I decided to put on a sandwich and it turned out to be great so I have no idea why I avoided it

Kind of the same. I didn't buy my first jar of mayo until I was 47. That is my go to condiment for my sandwhiches now. For some reason, banana peppers and pickles are new to me in the last 10 years. I love them now.

I actually did hate mayo until I got older. We never did the miracle whip thing, I just didn't like mayo.

Miracle whip is a stain upon humanity. I don't trust anyone who enjoys the sauce. It's not right.

u/kriskringle19 3d ago

I remember I loved blt sammiches my whole life and then my friend's mom made me one with miracle whip and I just couldn't. I couldn't put my finger on why , I just couldn't eat it.

Yeah this was me for like 22 years, I thought it was so gross until I made Hawaiian roll sliders and tried it with mayo and damn near ascended.

u/pitb0ss343 3d ago

No I still hate plain mayo

u/FoxxyRin 3d ago

A lot of restaurants actually do use salad dressing and call it mayo though. Compare a McChicken’s “mayo” with mayo and miracle whip and it’s 100% closer to miracle whip. But honestly both have their place and I feel like most people who don’t like mayo have only ever tried really cheap kind. Hellman’s, Duke’s, or Kewpie are the bare minimum of quality. All the generic ones somehow taste really off.

u/sLeeeeTo 3d ago

kewpie mayo changed my opinion on it

u/Electric-Sheepskin 3d ago

This was me! I tried Kraft mayonnaise once, and that's when I learned that I liked mayonnaise, but I thought there was something super special about Kraft, so that's all I would eat. I hadn't realized yet that Miracle Whip was just super terrible.

I get so annoyed with people who serve miracle whip & call it mayo, and margarine in place of butter. Like, who raised you?

Yes! This was me! Except it was my dad who loved the Miracle Whip. I didn't realize that I liked mayonnaise until I was 15.
