To think if you buy

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

Squeezy is the only acceptable form.

We moved back to jars from squeeze…was easier for a sandwich as didn’t have to bother to spread but always about half of it left in the bottle at the end and plastic 😬 (though we do have squeezy plastic ketchup…)

With a jar and a spatula literally zero waste.

Jars for us. We used to get French style but now get Polish. I’ve got silicon jar scrapers to get every last bit.

Yabu. Single use plastics need to be banned.

You buy your mayonnaise? How common.

Yep. Polish mayonnaise is a game changer. If you try this and still prefer squeezy crap I'm afraid it's you who is the psychopath.

Mayo on chips is amazing and even better on cheesy chips

Another one, who makes her own. It takes me less than 5 minutes and I know what has gone into it, unlike bought products. Recently saw something on YouTube about mayonnaise, which confirmed my choice to diy.

Not mayo but I like honey in a jar so I can use my spooly to twirl it around (not sure what it is called)

Is Helmann’s even really mayo? Why is it so white? White mayo makes me feel a bit queasy, it has to be yellow!

This is the nicest mayo! DH bought me 4 jars for Christmas a couple of years ago - best present ever 😋

🤣🤣

Who cares it tastes so good

When you are done with it - the plastic can go to a landfill or be recycled which creates microplastics - hope your convenience is worth the damage all this plastic will do to humanity and the planet.

You can't get the last lot out of a squeeze one.

I get jars and use one of those long sundae dessert teaspoons to get it all out when it's low.

I have turned my back on the Squeezy bottles as it’s impossible to get the last of it out then impossible to clean. Good lord fashioned jars here.

I don’t know abt Helmans, but the only difference between the ingredients in Sainsbury’s mayo and stuff I’d make at home is that they use a small quantity of xanthan gum to stop it splitting. The gum is used by a lot of home bakers anyway, so it’s not something we’re particularly bothered about. Jars all the way though… it’s so much easier to get the last bits out and you can recycle the jar and the lid.

I’ve tried both, squeezy and jar. Now I prefer jars. The current jar fell out of the fridge and whacked the cat who was passing so she wasn’t impressed.

You plastic-squeezing goader. Nobody likes those travesties. Jars forever.

I think I'll make some later - it's quite a soothing thing to do.

We have both. Squeezy for 15yo DD who is a bit useless at practical tasks and would leave a mayo spoon on a worktop and the jar lid somewhere else, and not put it beach in the fridge etc. But jar for the adults in the house who are capable of more sophisticated logistical tasks😀. Squeezy is really annoying if you use it in recipes or make your own coleslaw or tuna mayo etc cos you have to use about half a squeezy bottle for anything like that.

In Germany they have mayonnaise in metal toothpaste type tubes. Think about that.

Also WhoTAF has ketchup on a BLT??? Ketchup does not belong anywhere near 2/3 of the key elements! Ketchup and lettuce??? Hard no.

Are there any good tricks for people who make their own? I've tried and it didn't work a few times.

I have a squeezy basic mayo and a posh lemon one in a glass jar

I have also been known to have a secret posh mayo that only I know about, the heathens I live with don't deserve it.

Is it wrong that I'm as bought into this thread about mayonnaise containers as I am about threads that discuss Serious Issues Of Our Time?

My son in law showed me how to put squeezy bottle in one end of a double oven glove with cap end inserted first. Then twirl in an upright circle. The vortex I think it’s called pushes mayo to cap end.
after hearing some horror stories,l I only do this outside because I don’t want clear up the mess it potentially might make

but it works well

and if jars weren’t so expensive, I definitely buy buying them

Noooo! The squeezy stuff tastes funny 🤢

Jar has less waste if you scape out with a silicone spoon.

squeezies seem to end up with so much lurking in the bottle it feel like I’m kicking out a quarter of the stuff!
