Highly recommend no one buys Woolworths Essential’s brand Mayonnaise. Absolutely disgusting, looked like glue and also super sweet. I realised after the fact it’s vegan, so no eggs.. Mayo with no eggs! Even my Mayo/Aioli loving kid thought it was gross.

Not sure what to do with the jar of it now, feels wasteful to throw it away though 🤮

I haven't really got mayo preferences but I have heard the Best Foods one is the best. It seems to come in a plastic container when I look online but the one in our fridge is a glass jar. Not sure if there's a difference.

I'm normally pretty careful about trying not to waste food, but if it's so bad it's not edible, then just throw it away. It's one jar, and you're not going to buy it again. No point putting someone else through that just for the sake of not throwing it out.

I was thinking it could be used for cooking since it's mainly oil, but I'm thinking the amount of sugar might not work well. I've seen people use it on the outside of grilled cheese sandwiches to crisp it up. Otherwise into the compost it goes!

Maybe you could make a mayonnaise cake? https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/7423/mayonnaise-cake-i/

Oh this is a good idea! Guessing the mayo can work as a replacement for the oil or butter in baking recipes
