Maybe American ant size. Costco sells a lovely 1.9L jar.

Even the jar looks like it needs to be on a diet

Almost enough for a regular Midwestern salad.

64 fluid ounces = 128 servings of 1 Tablespoon = 11,520 total calories, if you use a child-cheater to scrape out every drop.

Oh sorry, family word maybe? A child cheater is a flexible spatula (rubber or silicone) rounded on one side, that scrapes all the yummy cake batter out of the bowl and into the baking pan, leaving not enough to lick.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Definitely a local thing, I've never heard of it, and I'm a born and raised bowl licker.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Kinda dumb that these two are called the same thing. They're for very different use cases.

The "child cheater" is sometimes referred to as a rubber spatula to differentiate it.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Agreed, although I prefer silicone rather than rubber these days, it holds up better with heat.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Yep, silicone spatulas are also a thing.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

That makes sense!

It's called a tub of mayonnaise thank you very much.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Psh! Nobody could take a bath in a tub that small.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Wow, only 100 calories!

For anyone unaware, the gallon size of condiments (mayo, ranch dressing, hot sauce, etc) is typically for food service. IOW, restaurants and the like.

That said, there's nothing stopping individuals from getting it, so the point is still valid.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

I worked prep at a buffet, and there was a salad that we made in bulk that used exactly one full gallon of mayo. i got really good at scooping it all out with a spatula in one fluid spiral.

just one of many otherwise completely useless skills i developed in foodservice lmao

I worked at a pizza buffet when I was in high school. The ranch dressing, made in 5 gallon buckets, called for multiple gallons of mayo and buttermilk. I too got far too skilled at getting it all out in one go.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Mayo and sour cream are like 80% of the sauces in most restaurants.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Worked at a seafood restaurant and we made coleslaw in basically a 40 gallon trashcan. Even had this auger that you attacked to the top to make it a huge food processor. It would use multiple gallons of mayo.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

The 10 gallon size is for food service. The gallon size is for large families. I knew a couple with ten kids who would kill a gallon of mayo quickly.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

That seems kind of expensive. The Costco 64oz variety is often on sale for <$10.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

In the way a family size is for a "family"

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Hell yeah, save by buying a 4-pack.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Liter? Americans aren't even consistent with their weird systems of measurements. Why is it not marked as 568.3844 fl oz? Or 0.244 football fields or 38.38383 yards or smth

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

It's 64oz, or a half gallon, i.e. the smallest unit of milk anyone would buy.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

We had a big push to try to adopt metric for a bit. It stalled out for various reasons, but it ended with metric units being required on food and stuff, metric being the official system of the government, and new things introduced in that period being referred to in metric.
So beverages come in 8, 12, 16, and 20oz, 1 liter, 2 liter, and gallon.

We also print both units on just about everything.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

All food and drinks are sold in metric amounts which typically are also very close to an imperial measure.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

America labels things in freedom and metric. What doesn't make sense to be is using volume and not weight.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah, I had to look up a converter to figure out how many grams a mayo-ounce is.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

That's nothing compared to Slavic-sized!
