How Millennials Killed Mayonnaise
The inexorable rise of identity condiments has led to hard times for the most American of foodstuffs. And that’s a shame.
✁
I racked my brain for the source of this generational disconnect. And then, one holiday weekend, while surveying the condiments set out at a family burger bash, I found it. On offer were four different kinds of mustard, three ketchups (one made from, I kid you not, bananas), seven sorts of salsa, kimchi, wasabi, relishes of every ilk and hue …
What was missing, though, was the common foundation of all Mom’s picnic foods: mayonnaise. While I wasn’t watching, mayo’s day had come and gone. It’s too basic for contemporary tastes — pale and insipid and not nearly exotic enough for our era of globalization. Good ol’ mayo has become the Taylor Swift of condiments.
Kinda sorta on topic, whatever that topic might turn out to be…
Bret Stephens: the supply-chain situation has gotten so out of hand that there’s even a cream-cheese shortage at New York City bagel shops, which is like one of the 10 biblical plagues as reimagined by Mel Brooks.
I love mayonnaise. There is none in my house. I have no mayonnaise willpower. Two more key points: 1. I love all the flavored mayos, the wasabi, the mustard mix, etc……………………2. Miracle Whip is the mayonnaise of Hell. All mayo-lites are evil……………………………..right-wing populists?:

Since Scott is just „phoning it in“ (copyright © 2018), why are we here?
At first, I thought Scott was doing something along the lines of „Let’s go Branson!“
Hmm. Now that’s really weird: My spelchekr thinks „Branson“ is mispooled! Guess they’ve never been to Mizzou-RAH!

I am hoping this refers to changes in mayonnaise to reduce the chance of it killing you .

If your mayonnaise is alive, you’re in for a gastrointestinal adventure.
