Hellman's (or Best Foods as it's called in some states) is the ONLY mayo to use. I think Miracle Whip is called that because it's a miracle that anyone likes it.

Miracle whip contains many chemicals. :(

Mayo. Hellman's or homemade. Period. My mom accidentally bought Miracle Whip once, when we were kids. It is 35 years later and we still have NEVER let her forget it.

Who are all these people who eat both? I have NEVER met one of them in real life?

answers from Houston on

Miracle Whip... I prefer the tangy taste, but even then I don't like globs of it. Nutritionally, one has more fat, one has more calories. So, they both are unhealthy wastelands. Mayo is the more 'pure' condiment.

answers from Eugene on

Helleman's a/k/a Best Food on west coast. In Europe I use Tommy which tastes more like Helleman's. Miracle Whip like all Kraft products is full of chemicals and tastes of it.
I just plain cannot eat any junk food since I was a small child.

answers from Redding on

I use both, depends on what sammich I'm makin.... and what my taste buds are wanting. I've been using vegonnaise lately tho and really like it. But a good ol' bologna sandwich with miracle whip, iceberg lettuce, pepper and thick amount of miracle whip is one of my favorite comfort foods. We use more mayo than miracle whip tho. I use miracle whip with a little milk and garlic powder for salad dressing fairly often.

Although I know it is made of garbage, I pick Miracle Whip over mayo. BUT, recently my sister introduced me to some Marie Calender's All Natural salad dressings, so I have been using their ranch dressing instead of miracle whip.

answers from Minneapolis on

Hellman's Mayo here...but Hubby likes Miracle Whip too, so we have both. I have become accustomed to adding just a dab if I am making tuna for a sandwich for myself (along with pickles in there) for some tweaky flavor, but its the ONLY thing I use it for. The Miracle Whip container is this teeny little thing next to the GIANT Sams Club size Hellmans Jar in our refrig...LOL.

I always tease hubby with the lines from the older trash bag commercial when I pull them out of the fridge when we do sandwiches...I say "HEFTY HEFTY HEFTY....wimpy wimpy wimpy!" He gets mad then laughs every time!
