    My girlfriend can only eat Hellmann’s mayonaise… when she taste Miracle Whip she just gak and refuse to eat. I never tasted the difference.

    And about the “Poupon” word, im french and it never occured to me before that it might have a french meaning. Now that you mentioned it I know but with the pronounciation of “Gray” before “Poupon” you just pronounce “Poupon” with the english accent and you forget the meaning of the word… for me anyway.

    We dont say poupon often too…

    Bottom line: Miracle Whip is sweeter and has less eggs and oil.

    If mayonnaise has 5 eggs and 1/3 cup of oil, the same volume of M.W. would have 3 eggs and 1/4 cup of oil + “thickener”. Thickener is sweet. Nasty stuff on a sandwich, but possibly useful for salad dressings.

    Eww on both. Make my sandwich with regular yellow mustard.

    Sadly, I have a condiment phobia. I don’t even like salad dressing.

    Mayo only. Miracle Whip is only good for filling Ziploc bags with it and launching them in catapults.

    Fear of condiments, eh? Apparently, that’s not so unusual. See other fears of food: Link

    I can’t believe people can’t taste the difference!

    I only use mayo on sandwiches and miracle whip is only for tuna. You can’t use them interchangeably! I’ve never understood why people do when I obviously taste them differently.

    I don’t use mayo daily or even weekly sometimes, but when I do, I use DUKES! It’s the best. When my family was stationed in England, my grandparents would ship it to us.

    I find them both delicious, but very interesting to hear the facts and other people’s take on the two. Yes, I agree, there is a distinct difference in taste. Pop by to dish about condiments!

    Right on with squeezing in a little Grey Poupon fact - only the best mustard around. As an avid mustard devotee I created a blog along with Grey Poupon to provide the history of Grey Poupon Mustard and to show the new varieties they now offer. For a more thorough Grey Poupon history lesson check out the site at http://chefgreypoupon.com

    I avoid salad dressings because the additives make me swell. This is not just me, so beware of the reason Alzheimers is on the rise in society. It is not a disease you are bound to get, but one that is created by additives. This book shows how a researcher created the brain plaques in lab animals with a lifetime of MSG in drinking water. The MD author advised avoiding MSG especially if Alzheimers is in the family. My father died of it. I had already noted swelling 25 years ago. PLEASE beware you people in the public…these addicting dressings etc over a lifetime can be responsible for the rise in Alzheimers. The genetics of people are not changing as rapidly as the growing prevalence in prepared foods…intended to make people buy and eat more. It also causes overweight. It is in most fast foods.

    “Excitotoxins, the taste that kills” Read the book, save your life now because later when you are diagnosed, it’s too late.

    I just made a sandwhich with what I thought to be Mayo (because they both have similar jars!) and I was completly pissed off when I took a bite and it was Miracle Whip. UGH GROSSSSSSSS!!!!! I love Mayo, but Miracle Whip makes me want to barf.
