    I…actually don’t see the problem with this one.

    Heavy duty mayonnaise is thicker, it has been emulsified more. It is better for things that use mayo as a binding agent, like an egg salad or even crab cakes. It’s commonly used in restaurants, and this is a restaurant supply vendor. You probably don’t just use heavy duty directly as a condiment on a sandwich or something, but you could if you wanted to.

    Yeah it is better to make your own mayo, but this isn’t that crazy. Heavy duty is more annoying to make too anyway.

    Maybe I’m not American enough to understand this, but how does this get bought? How do you store and cool this big-ass jar once you open it, how do you use it up without getting sick of the stuff, why wouldn’t you just buy it in a tube or a bottle, and why would anyone spend 20 bucks on a condiment?

      Gordon Choice is a food purveyor and bulk supplier for restaurants, cafeterias, and bars. This is most likely a picture from a Restaurant supply store.

      This is meant for commercial use.

      Gordon Choice is a retail wholesaler, the target demographic are businesses and restaurants. You aren’t using a home fridge and they aren’t really targeting individuals.

      That said, I know some USians that would probably go through this individually.

      Maybe it’s for a big family or a small business. That stuff lasts very long too. Or maybe I’m being naive and people consoom that much
