Kraft Miracle Whip, 1960 originally uploaded by Roadsidepictures
We have had a bunch of holiday themed polls and I have at least one more coming up this month so I figured I’d take a break this week and go with a poll suggested by Josh. Last week I ran a poll, suggested by Vickie that asked when you typically chose to setup your holiday decorations. With over 40 people voting, the winner was “Sometime in December”. Kim and I cut down our tree and I put the lights on Saturday night and Kim spent Sunday painstakingly adding ornaments, stepping back a few feet and admiring her handiwork, and then going in for the next. While Kim was doing that, I hung out with Josh in Northfield to watch the Vikings beat the Lions. While I was there I mentioned that I wanted to do one on Mayo vs Mustard being that I have recently been using horseradish mustard instead of mayo on my ham and cheese sandwiches. Josh suggested that I do the mayo vs Miracle Whip one instead being that he and his coworkers had a recent debate about the pros and cons of each.
While several of Josh’s employees feel strongly that mayo is nasty, I have never been a Miracle Whip fan and only use it sparingly in a deviled eggs recipe I have. I think that Miracle Whip tastes exactly like mayonnaise that’s been sitting too long out in the hot sun during a 4th of July picnic. I realize that there are plenty of people that swear by the Whip and figured I’d take it to you guys. Which do you prefer and why? I’ve added a N/A option for those of you that like your sandwiches dry or who really just don’t give a shit on way or the other.
Mayo or Miracle Whip?
- Mayo (61.0%, 34 Votes)
- Miracle Whip (38.0%, 21 Votes)
- N/A (2.0%, 1 Votes)
Total Voters: 56
Loading ...I’m letting this poll run for another week before we return to our usually scheduled holiday poll (that’s for you “bf”). As always, check out our expired polls in the archive or read through the previous posts about polls here.

Neither. Both are vile, disgusting products that should not be consumed. Oil and eggs mixed together – why would that be good? That said, we have both at home. I do consent to the use of Miracle Whip when preparing tuna fish. I use Hellman’s Mayo in a hotdish recipe I make often. Other than that, I don’t touch the stuff unless I’m making Mr Marcos a sandwich for lunch.

P.S. love the use of the 1960′s advertisement for Miracle Whip.

Thanks Mrs M, it was difficult finding a decent photo of mayo and/or Miracle Whip, they’re not exactly exciting subjects for photography I guess. When I came across the one above I thought it was perfect for the job :)

The tangy zip of miracle whip is not for me.

I lean towards the Whip. Mainly because it’s what I grew up on. I do eat both, it just depends on what it’s put on.

Unless it’s as an ingredient in something else (tuna salad, etc.), I don’t care for either one of them for the most part. I like mayonaise on turkey sandwiches for some reason, but otherwise I don’t like it by itself.

I will not go into depth about my affinity for mayonnaise, because it’s actually kind of embarrassing how much I truly love mayonnaise
Miracle Whip is an act against God, and therefore should not be used in any recipe developed for mayo. Ever.

Tim, i don’t know anyone who just eats mayo by itself :)
I love mayo. I use it to replace ketchup on french fries every once in awhile. Healthy.

This topic has been close to my heart for a long time. (I know, sad life).
There is nothing worse than asking for mayo and when you bite into it, turns out to be Miracle Whip. There’s a reason they call it Miracle, kinda like it’s a miracle you can swallow it. I would much rather go without. I have heard people say they can’t tell the difference! Same people that do 55 in the fast lane I am sure.
Dawnmarie, I also like mayo for french fries but actually mix it with ketchup (or is it catsup?)
Anyway all in all, that horsy-mustard sure sounds good about now!
Think I will run and get some roast beef, swiss, a good rye bread and spread the horsy-mustard on thick…..thanks for the idea Bill and keep up the good work.

Mayo was invented in Spain. They still know how to make it. The mayo I got in Spain was 300% better than anything I’ve found in the U.S.

In the U.S. you have no idea what garbage you consume. This “Miracle Whip” is some sticky heavy artificial substance glue and you’re eating that shit? I tried it, what a yuck! I only eat fat-free mayonnaise since both saturated fat and cholesterol are bad for your health and arteries. When you eat it then try to wash the dishes with cold water. If it washes off easily with cold water – it’s good for you. If it sticks to the plate – discard or give to the obese retarded people. And in general, when I came to USA, your food had no (natural) taste. Tomatoes in USA taste like garbage. Literally!

Really, John, don’t hold back. Tell us how you really feel? Where are you from? I’m sure I can find time to ridicule the food of your homeland. Do you have Chili’s in your homeland?

I don’t care where he’s from, I’m going to pretend he’s from Britain. Because their food has so much taste.

My brother-in-law is from England…he loves the food in America. His favorite is pancakes. Apparently the pancakes in England are completely different (gross), I think my sister “sealed the deal” when she made him homemade AMERICAN pancakes.

Miracle Whip is trying to change their image by hooking up with Lady Gaga: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=125154866&ft=1&f=1053
Further reason for me not to like the stuff.
