        If someone is eating that much mayo it’d have to be daily, and I think if someone eats mayo daily they’d know they’re eating a lot

          I love mayo on sandwiches but I rarely finish a jar until a few years past it’s best by date.

          Follow up question - is this absolute mayo consumption, or does it scale with food intake?

          Because I bet there’s definitely people out there who eat mayo like pudding for lunch and they would think they’re on the short list

          But I could see there being someone out there who regularly kills multiple jars of mayo in a sitting by knocking out a huge bowl of chips and dip, but doesn’t consciously recognize their alarming daily mayo intake

          I could see the #1 being in either group… Some people have a disturbing relationship with condiments, but some people eat terrifying amounts of unhealthy food, and I’ve seen someone kill a tub of potato salad as a mid interview snack (it was some documentary about people who can no longer fit through their doorways)

    I bet they do know it.
    I bet there’s an online community somewhere with several hundred competitive mayonnaise eaters.

    Edit: Yup. I guess this needs some kind of warning. Don’t click if you don’t want to see someone empty multiple big jars of mayonnaise with a spoon in under 3 minutes.

        I highly suspect it comes out the other end shortly after being ingested. Unless there are rules against that or something. Somehow, I feel like the mayo-eating professionals aren’t exactly well regulated.

      Ok, sure, that’s a lot of mayo. But I didn’t think OP was referring to an amount consumed in one sitting. Surely there’s someone out there that just loves macaroni salad or coleslaw who ends up eating way more on a longer timescale.

        Chances that these competitive mayo eaters also love mayonaise enough to put it on those foods you mention is pretty high

        Hey just wanted to remind you about that mayonnaise video when you read this. Give in to the morbid curiosity. The call of the void burns for you concede and watch the video in full. See how gross it really is for yourself.

      She was not the Hutt I imagined before clicking the link. For a moment there I even thought it wasn’t going to be gross.

      And I can confidently say she surpassed the amount of mayo I’ve had in my entire life, by quite some margin too.

      And what better to wash down over 2 kilograms of mayo? A tall glass of refreshing lemonade.

        Come join the Mayo Club.

        The first rule of Mayo Club is; just have some fun, no pressure, just good people enjoying a good condiment.

    Fact: someone has eaten the most mayonnaise in the world

    Cannot be stated as fact: they don’t know it

      At least they can never be 100% sure that they are.

      Because even if you think you are the person who ate the most mayonnaise in the world, there could always be someone that ate more who doesn’t know.

      Thus noone can ever truly know if they are the person who ate the most mayonnaise in the world.

    I am afraid to admit that I can finish a sizeable jar of mayo in 2-3 days less sometimes, but I don’t do it every week I promise… Please stop calling me out. It’s just comfort food I swear

    My friend has a story about a coworker who would bring a tub of mayonnaise into work and mix it with tuna and sometimes chickpeas for lunch. He wouldn’t finish the tub every day but he would go through a lot of them every month so I think that guy’s in the running.

        Mayonnaise isn’t really bad for you. There’s a lot of fat in it, but that’s totally independent from being fat.

          It’s more about the absence of most other nutrients, assuming he keeps a similar life style at home.

          Also, I’m not sure what the current opinion about eggs and colesterol is. I’ve heard both sides thousands of times and don’t eat them anyways.

    Oh they have a pretty good idea. They’re currenlty in post-op recovery in a cardiac cath lab getting sternly reprimanded by their doctor that balloon angioplasty can only do so much and this person has to make lifestyle changes or they their heart disease will end their life early.
