I'm sad that I missed posting this on the 4th
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.
A what??
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.

I found a 128 ounce (3.758 litre) jar at Walmart.
It's called a tub of mayonnaise thank you very much.
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.
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

600g? Those are rookie numbers. You call that American size? Our smallest jars are 390 (15 oz) grams. Regular and large jars are 780 (30 oz) and 1248 grams (48 oz). And they do have ridiculously big jars too, 1 gallon jars, i.e. 128 oz and 3328 grams, for, like, restaurants and doomsday preppers... or dudes that just really love mayonnaise, I guess.
Maybe don't eat the mayo in the doomsday prepper bunker.
You leave me and my gallons of bunker mayo alone.
That sounds like how the zombie apocalypse starts.
Zombie or no zombie, it's how I'm going out.
or dudes that just really love mayonnaise, I guess.
You know it's nice to be seen
Out of curiosity, I just checked my pantry. I have two 30 ounce jars (1400+ grams), sitting in reserve.
This genuinely represents a failure to comprehend the scale of American food products.

That's not big enough.
It should be the 2 gallon Costco-sized jug to truly be 'Merican.

In America the family sized mayo comes in a 55 gallon barrel. That'll last for about a month.
The worst thing is... I don't know if I laugh or if I believe this.
The real worse thing is I have absolutely no idea how big 55 gallons would be, or how big the one in the photo is.
The explodey barrels in fps games are typically 55 gallon drums
I have absolutely no idea how big 55 gallons would be
Something a bit larger than 200l... I think an oil barrel is around that size (and yeah, it's "the standard unit" for that).
In all seriousness, if the GP said it was a 2 gallon container I would honestly not know if it was true.

The average family size is shrinking. I've seen my neighbors stretch 55 gallons to 6 or even 7 weeks.
The times, they are a changin'...

How does it compare to amateur mayonnaise?
Amateur mayonnaise practices until it gets it right.
Professional mayonnaise practices until it does not get it wrong.

600 grams?
You could make maybe two sandwiches with that.

Am Statesian. That's a medium here
Costco size in the US:
For those in less free areas, that's about 3x the size as the one in the picture. Regular grocery-store mayo (in a jar) is about half the Costco size (something like 850 grams?), and mayo in a squeeze bottle is about the size of the jar picture above.
We, uh, kinda like mayo here...

Well Finland has the saying "Everything is big in America"
...good and the bad, triumphs and fuck-ups.
To be honest, I think all Finland did was translating that saying to Finnish lol

I had to look it up because I hardly ever actually buy mayonnaise, but I’ve walked down the mayonnaise aisle at the supermarket… What’s funny is that your 600g “50% more: American size” is actually a tweener size here.
The standard small jar here is 15 Floz (about 400g; we sell mayo by volume here apparently). The standard large jar is double that. And of course we have less common, but not uncommon, 48 Floz for “family size” and larger still in bulk.
We do have containers that are between or smaller, but the those are usually specialty containers (mainly squeeze bottles), specialty types (such as avocado oil based or flavored/blends), or just less common in general.

In Brazil the "American cup" is the smallest size of cup and I'm always found that hilarious.

Finland is in the top 10 of the most mayo consuming countries, so they could just as well call it "save a trip" size.
Can you fit your fist through the top? Can you scoop out a handful easily and leave fingertrails in the bottom? Then it's just normal sized IMO.
That's just silly, its not even that big. That's a normal big jar of mayo.
With chocolate bars, premade meals, drinks, ect, its a "size" that works as a gimmick but mayo?
