Blue Plate is a house staple. However, TRUFF Spicy Mayo & TRUFF regular mayo are actually really good for making certain dips, etc.

Duke's
American Garden
Hellman's
Blue Plate
I did not see American Garden in the choice list. However, that is the brand that I buy in UAE, and it is awesome, very creamy rich taste! That and Hellman's are here. Do not see Duke's and Blue Plate here. Just back from Xmas/New Years and mom had 2 jars of Blue Plate in the frig, which is what we grew up with.

Hellmans is the best. Blue plate tastes like benzene.

So when you eat mayo elsewhere and you do it’s always blue plate? Get lost dipwad.

One of these is not like the others

I find Dukes is better for needing mayo for a mix, dip, additive while Blue Plate is good for sandwiches. I keep both Blue Plate and Dukes in my fridge.
Same. I alternate between them with slight preference for Blue Plate as tangier vs Dukes as creamier.

As if there is a legitimate brand of ketchup besides Heinz.
As for the .gif of the dude eating mayo, that took me straight back the first time I went to Zwolle and saw a 500 pound guy on the porch of a single wide dipping tamales in a jar of mayo and popping them in his mouth whole. I am scarred from that.

have to be people that buy Hunts and prefer it.
Not necessarily-there are people who buy it bc it's a dollar cheaper a bottle.
If I'm using to mix in something, NBD. For a burger and fries, Heinz or GTFO (and I hate Heinz-Kerry family)

We prefer blue plate.

Prefer Haines Sayflower (sp?) mayo but that’s pricey. Usually stick with Hellman’s from Costco.

I like dukes for sandwiches
I make lebanese garlic sauce (toum) that you get in mediterranean restaurants and keep it in the fridge for dips and stuff

What Is Toum?
Toum is essentially a mayonnaise, but it's stabilized with garlic instead of egg. Just like mayo, toum is an emulsion of oil into water, made possible with the help of a third-party emulsifier.
An emulsion always involves two incompatible liquids brought together by dispersing one into tiny droplets suspended throughout the other.
This can be done with vigorous shaking and agitation—like when you're whisking oil into a vinaigrette—but without an emulsifier, the coupling is only temporary. Emulsifiers and stabilizers help droplets stay dispersed by coating each one and reducing the surface tension, preventing them from coalescing.
Mayo is a stable emulsion because the lecithin and proteins in an egg are some of the most powerful emulsifiers around. One egg is capable of emulsifying one gallon of oil, resulting in a stiff and spreadable sauce.
A properly made toum will be just as thick, and densely packed with billions of oil droplets, but it’s all held together with the far less stable proteins and pulverized plant tissues of garlic.
This makes bringing toum together a more delicate process than making mayo, but with some patience, you can avoid pitfalls.

I love that these clowns utilized mayo in 3 ways...none of which is the most common use of the condiment.
They didn't use it on a sandwich of any kind....This proves their ineptness when rating something.
"we're going to use it in 2 out of 3 ways that people NEVER use mayo." Then rate them...
Yeah...OK....you should be taken seriously on this topic......NOPE.
The reason why is simple, and it's been cited to multiple times on this thread alone: put it on a burger, sandwich, etc, and most people are going to have to really grasp at straws to be able to tell the difference.
With that said, when I look at breakdowns like this, I actually don't care which they decided was the best. I look at their criteria and then choose based on my preferences as reflected by their criteria sub scores.
As an example, in the last few months, I went looking to find a greek yogurt that I would like. Problem is that different people like very different things in their greek yogurt. Some like it thick, some like thin. Some like sweet, some like tangy. Etc, etc. I don't actually care what other people like; I know what I like, so I just found a "taste test" that broke it down into those criteria and chose from there.
Siggi's skyr (which I know isn't technically greek yogurt...) is the shite, by the way.

Miracle Whip can GTFO
Miracle Whip isn't even real mayonnaise.
Not sure why it is on the list.
That's like putting Cool Whip on a best of real whipped cream list.

Let me just say that I don't care about mayonnaise. Give me butter instead
I’m one of those weirdos that doesn’t like mayo. I can only tolerate it if it’s combined with yellow mustard on the same slice of bread. Totally fine with ranch dressing though.
