In Finland, they advertise the largest container of mayonnaise as "American Size" (lemmy.world)

That's just silly, its not even that big. That's a normal big jar of mayo.

With chocolate bars, premade meals, drinks, ect, its a "size" that works as a gimmick but mayo?

As an American, that's a normal small size of mayo. Most of our "regular" sizes are almost double that, this is about the size of those smaller squeeze bottles:

This bottle design is an utter bastard. You simply can't get the last bits out of there no matter how much you wait or bang or make it cough and splutter to your food.

I'm sure someone has actually designed it that way as opposed to designing it in a way that would be best for the consumer.

Pretty normal. See "California king size bed".

Hell yeah.

I saw this several times when in Finland. I thought it was hilarious (I'm American).

Is the American mayonnaise even as real as this real American mayonnaise??

Can you fit your fist through the top? Can you scoop out a handful easily and leave fingertrails in the bottom? Then it's just normal sized IMO.

There is a lot of truth to the big in America stereotype. Big country, big cities, big roads, big cars, big buildings, etc.

As an American I approve this image

They dip their fries in mayo over there and put it on hot dogs, gotta get the big jars for that.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 7 points 3 weeks ago

Americans don't dip their fries in mayo. Thats a Dutch/Belgian thing

I mean, isn't that just shelf-stabilized 'Murican pulmonary fluid?

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

That’s not American enough, should be a bucket of Duke’s.
