Mayonnaise is doing just fine, to judge from the grocery market shelves.

I still prefer miracle whip.

Hey, maybe generational bickering can replace the partisan cold war… The current state of US politics is strategic weakness.

New York Times The Morning: U.S. weakness emboldens Moscow and Beijing. If you were a foreign leader hostile to the United States — sitting in, say, Moscow or Beijing — how would you view the U.S. today? U.S. is so politically polarized that many voters and members of Congress may not rally around a president even during a foreign crisis. Americans, after all, have reacted to the pandemic with division and anger, which has fueled widespread refusal to take lifesaving vaccines and continuing chaos in schools. Given all of this, you might not be feeling especially intimidated by the U.S., even though it continues to have the world’s largest economy, most important currency and strongest military.

This background helps explain the tensions in both Ukraine and Taiwan. In each, an authoritarian power is making noises about invading a small nearby democracy, and the U.S. has issued stern warnings against any such action. The two authoritarian powers — Russia and China — may ultimately choose to stand down, at least temporarily. But their increasing aggression is a sign of their willingness to defy what their leaders see as a weakened U.S.

No, no it is not.

“I’m gonna keep the coke and the fries but I’m gonna send this burger back. And if you put any mayonnaise on it, I’m gonna come over to your house, I’ll chop your legs off, set fire to your house, and watch as you drag your bloody stumps out the door.”BRUCE WILLIS as Jimmy Tudeski

It might be age, but I now prefer other things to what I used to use mayonnaise for. Various salad dressings. They’re a bit tastier.

(BTW, Carmen, there’s plenty on the supermarket shelves.)

This is a problem? Now?

Given that Bernie Sanders wants to limit the varieties of all kinds of things (from shoes, to toothpaste to deodorant) millenials should reconsider whether they want to give him their votes.

^^klem, nice try, but all you are doing is throwing more BS on the GQP massive mountain of nuttin’ but BS

Never understood why some people like mayo…gross!

Bing bong!

(I left the link two days ago, that’s all you’re getting.)

“Killing mayonnaise” reminds me somehow of “Hang Mike Pence”…

It’s mayo underneath in the same way that beer is just water underneath; “aïoli is a sauce made of garlic, salt, olive oil, and often egg.”

Aioli is wonderful.
