Mayonnaise in a jar... you're a psychopath?

Squeezy is the only acceptable form.

You’re the psychopath for liking mayonnaise 😁

thistimelastweek · 21/05/2026 21:04

By your definition I'm a psychopath because I have a spoon.

(And squeezy is fine till it needs washing out for re-cycling. Watch us psychos laugh at you then.)

TheChosenTwo · 21/05/2026 21:05

I just buy whatever hellmans I come across first when I add it to my online basket whether that’s squeezy or jar tbh, I don’t eat it myself so I don’t have a preferred type of delivery. Although ketchup is always squeezy because I do use that!

My Korean mayonnaise is squeezy, my French is in a jar. I think that means I am well-balanced!

GasperyJacquesRoberts · 21/05/2026 21:06

I understand where you're coming from but I have to say that the Hellman's squeezy bottles are bloody awful because you have to repeatedly smack the bejeesus out of the things to not waste the last quarter of the bottle.

youalright · 21/05/2026 21:07

Depends what im using for pasta, potatoes or coleslaw i use a jar. For sandwiches and on chips squeezy is better

Impossible to get it out at the end

Are you talking about jar or squeezy?

Jar - use spoon!

Squeezy - chop off bottle bottom with scissors and use spoon!

WallaceinAnderland · 21/05/2026 21:08

Plastic though

Flannelfeet · 21/05/2026 21:09

I can't get it out the squeezy bottle so its a jar for me.

AnneLovesGilbert · 21/05/2026 21:12

I make mine, store it in a Tupperware of any shape.

Oh the squeezy one is from M&S and bought it for a Korean corn recipe I found online having eaten a dish at a street market - have you had it? Like mac 'n' cheese but with corn - so lovely! (And very bad for you!!! Like everything that tastes good!) Nothing wrong with Hellmans at all!

user293948849167 · 21/05/2026 21:19

I buy in a glass jar to save on plastic waste and reduce how many microplastics we eat

DH insists that a knife is the correct utensil to get it out of the jar though, not a spoon. Now that’s psychopathic

Ahhh I see, I haven't even heard of it but I bet my wee girl would love to try it, she loves anything Asian especially Japanese or Korean. Ive not tried it, im a tad picky with Asian food, it really doesn't like me which is a shame because I do like Chinese 😪.

You can't beat a wee egg mayo and spring onions sandwich with hellmans 😋🤣

Same. I really dislike having condiments in plastic bottles. Team Jar here!

I'll pull the recipe out and DM it to you! Oh it's such a pain when food doesn't like you - Indian food doesn't like me unless it's super mild and I can have a gallon of milk to drink!

Oh I am a heathen and think that a BLT is better with mayonnaise than ketchup - I am sure people have been tortured over less!

FieldInWhichFucksAreGrownIsBarren · 21/05/2026 21:28

I don't like squeezy anything, so much wastage.

You are a psychopath and a sociopath if you put mayo on chips.

Oh please, I bet that would go down well with ara, thank you 😃. Oh tell me about it, i always feel hellish after a Chinese, Indian on the other hand I do like...chicken bhuna, fried rice and a naan.

Im definitely with you on the blt with mayo, not a big fan of ketchup. Or tomato soup 🤢.

I really don't like food in plastic containers never use plastic lunchboxes etc can tolerate buying fruit in plastic boxes and decanting but plastic is never appetising imo.

Placeoftides · 21/05/2026 21:31

It absolutely has to be proper Hellmans in a glass jar. Nothing else comes close

Thatfattrollop · 21/05/2026 21:34

Glass jar here I’m afraid. But why is everyone forking out for hellmans? I buy Tesco’s - just as good and a third of the price.

Tableforjoan · 21/05/2026 21:37

We buy both. Bottle for on the side for chips.

Jar for actually mixing in with things.

Also mix and match brands might be Aldi own, could be hellmans, maybe it’s some poncey £10 a jar stuff. Who knows whatever I grab in the shop.

Now olive oil is where it’s at. If you don’t buy good stuff don’t bother.

EvolvedAlready · 21/05/2026 21:39

I intentionally STOPPED buying a squeezey last week because of the amount of wastage. Jars all the way for me. Just like my grandmother had, which makes me 🥰

I prefer glass jars too. So call me Hannibal Lector
