I got quite a few things I could say. I'm not in long-form comment mode and at least a couple people are pleased by that.

I will say in response to this

    whether you consider Miracle Whip to be "mayo."

Isn't it chemically thickened horse semen and vinegar?

Also this article is pretty sad because it's an aging former romance writer who somehow got a job as an editor at a general audience magazine who is upset that people don't like her gross potato salad. This article is about this woman's psychology. Not mayo. And yes lady, I did think you were pulling the info out of your ass.

Miracle whip is essentially an aioli made with soybean oil instead of olive oil. I grew up with it; but then, I also grew up with margarine, pork rinds, white trash cookies and generic velveeta.

Here's the article, condensed down to its true meaning:

    I made what my mother once made...My son Jake, who’s 25, eats mayo...He’s a good son. I also have a daughter. She was a women’s and gender studies major in college. Naturally, she loathes mayonnaise.

There are multiple telling passages. I don't disagree with your choice
