Gallon "tubs" are intended for commercial sale but Costco, Walmart, and the manufactures, they don't care. A sale is a sale. I don't even want to consider how long it would take me to get through one.

Also, simply sizing up a container does not lead to ease of dispensing (looking at you, Hellman's!). Giant spoons or rubber-bladed spatulas need to be on hand to collect what's left on the bottom.

I buy tiny little five ounce mayos that I can put in the tiny little fridge I bought to put my insulin in. Or I don’t bother and use olive oil instead because it doesn’t go bad if it’s ignored.

But teenagers are like eating machines! I must have eaten my grandmother right out of the house - and I was still underweight. I think I was still adding height right up to the time I got married.

This household will go through one in a couple of months.

A gallon is what, about 4 litres. I go thru (cover your ears and go la la la Darnk) a 800 ml jar every month, month and a half so I can see a family using a gallon but still, the price is rarely that much lower and you'd need a giant fridge. Although, with growing teen boys, maybe Kathryne has two fridges. :D

Oh, don't I wish! No, we just go to the store a lot. Thankfully, there's a major grocery store just a couple of blocks from here. Gallons of mayonnaise aside, we really don't buy too much cold foods in bulk.

I was near an asian supermarket. I'd never been in so I checked it out. They sure have a lot of stuff I'd never see in a regular supermarket. Almost all of it. I need a book or two to explain what I should try. All of these interesting jars. If I get pig uterus should I get regular or premium? What would I do with it? They have live fish. I should have taken pictures but found a few other people have taken.

I really miss having an asian market in easy driving range of home/work.

This is because you are doing it wrong.
Buy Kewpie mayonnaise.
Not only is it easy to dispense down to the last squeeze, but you can cut the container open with scissors and lick the inside if you really wanted to.

I just finished my jar of mayo (No Name Brand :flower: ) but I think I'll try Kewpie this time. I saw some at the local MAXI... This better be amazing.

Squeezable mayo is good, but where's the fun of filling a large empty jar of mayo with vanilla pudding and walking down Main Street with it eating out of the jar with a spoon?

You've never poured vanilla pudding from a squeeze tube before?

I don't think it would have quite the same shock value. I'd have to try it though.

I don't do it that way. I do it this way:





Mayo porn.
No because that's just squeezable, its not SOFT SQUISHY squeezable. I know this how? Because I tried both this and le Kewpie....
