Hellmanns Mayo

route 7 — Mon, 09 Mar 2015 02:08:05 GMT

This thread won't get a lot of traffic but my mom always bought Hellman's mayonnaise only. To this day I won't by another brand. Of course now I use the light or fat free but my question is do you keep on using the brands you were raised on?

Absolutely. Here on the West Coast it is Best Foods. Can't tolerate any other brand.

Yes, I still eat Hellman's and I always get the original. I don't buy the fat free stuff because they often substitute more sugar for the fat.

I've never even tried another brand, unless it was in a salad I had at a restaurant and didn't know it. Yes, I've stuck to the brands I was brought up on, which were always the name brands.

Most of the time, yes.....I gravitate towards brands and things that my Mom used too......I am a creature of habit........now my Mom rarely used mayo.....she was a French's mustard girl but I do like Hellman's Olive Oil mayo on BLT, tuna salad and pimento cheese sandwiches........wish my Mom was here to have a pimento cheese with me.......with a dill pickle on the side...

When we used to use mayo, yes, I bought the same brand - Hellman's.

We've changed our food plan so completely from yesterday that the brands we grew up with don't get a second look anymore.

No one in our immediate family uses mayo but growing up, Hellmans was in our house. It is the brand I keep in the pantry for company.

My mother bought whatever was on sale. I tend to have brand loyalty with condiments.

When the sons were young I tried the less expensive brands but decided the Best Foods was worth the money.

Me, too

My mother always used Best Foods and so do I. My daughter does, also. IMO it's the best and I have tried other brands.

You have an interesting point, I think I do use the brands I grew up with, except for catsup. And yes, I call it catsup because that's what I was raised with

Grey Poupon Dijon mustard but always French's yellow mustard for hot dogs.

Same here. My grandmother used Hellmann's too. I don't remember what brands my mom used for ketchup/mustard/pickles. I do use Grey Poupon and French's yellow mustard but ketchup is whatever I grab first, Heinz or Hunt's.

It's all I use. I buy the OO one sometimes, but prefer original.

I also am loyal to Hellmann's, but remember some of the posters living in the southern states mentioning a brand called "Dukes".

Growing up all we had in the house was Miracle Whip.....only....it wasn't till I got married that I started using Hellmans....and that was because my husband preferred it...have been using it ever since....that goes back years now....

Maybe it's a regional thing

I grew up using Hellman's and I still do but I get the light or low fat. I bought Duke's once when it was on sale and I will never cross over to the dark side again.

Still use Heinz Ketchup, Gulden's mustard and Colgate toothpaste.

I'm now using the Trader Joe's organic ketchup. I really like it a lot, which kind of surprised me... I used to think of ketchup as ketchup, no big deal. But I've changed my mind now
