I tried Miracle Whip once. Once. It is *not* an adequate substitute for mayo. If I want all kinds of spices in my mayo, guess what, I can put 'em in there myself. It's not that hard.

As for the fat vs. less fat argument, miracle whip may have less fat than mayo per tablespoon, but it's got more sugar, sodium and carbohydrates.

Fact is, neither one is likely to kill you unless you're eating the stuff every single day and using tons of it. Moderation, people. Like anything else.

But there is a difference in the flavor and the people who can't taste it scare me.

I like both but prefer the taste of Miracle Whip ... It's simply not as plain or boring as mayonnaise.

Jackie below are the ingredients; Yikes !!!Ingredients: Water, soybean oil, vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, modified food starch, eggs, salt, mustard flour, artificial color, potassium sorbate as a preservative, paprika, spice, natural flavor, dried garlic.
You should always try and stay away from HFCS, modified corn starch, artificial color, and sometimes natural flavor

I need help! I have Celiac Sprue and I cannot have anything that might contain "Glutens". I need the ingredients for Miracle Whip and cannot find them on this site. As for "Miracle Whip vs Mayo", I haven't liked Miracle Whip since the mid 70's when I lived in CA and they didn't sell Miracle Whip! Too sweet and yucky tasting for me! So, it's Mayo for me. Thank You for any help that might be given on this subject

Cheryl likes Miracle Whip, because she was raised in a trailer. I prefer Mayo because it contains less sugar, and is generally a classier act.

Miracle Whip became popular during the depression. It was much cheaper than real mayo. Many children of that era grew up thinking it was mayo so they never questioned it's smarmy, sweet taste. It is NOT mayo, it isn't even close. My grandmother used to feed that crap to us on Spam sandwiches w/Velveeta cheese (which is NOT cheese). She called them ham and cheese sandwiches. They were the worst. I can still taste that horrible concoction. She survived the great depression and probably had no idea what she was doing to me. Never again!

I've always been a fan of Miracle Whip, because it tastes quite similar to mayonnaise, but with that little extra sweetness and tang. On top of that, Miracle Whip is actually fairly good for your waistline at only 3 grams of fat per tablespoon, compared to something like 16-20 grams of fat per tablespoon of regular mayo.

The best is to mix together Miracle Whip and ketchup to dip your french fries in

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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...
