Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I upvoted this because you are wrong, you have bad taste, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
What an awful opinion
*angrily upvotes*
A commercial fake mayonnaise that you can't do on your own, and that contains corn sugar, flavors, and a lot of other crap? Unpopular opinion indeed.
“And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free”
Eagle flies by carrying the American flag
Fire works in every direction.
My mother used to pack peanut butter and miracle whip sandwiches for my elementary school lunches. I still can’t stand even the smell now.
Wtf
Yeah that should be illegal.
My mom grew up on those and would always try to make me try it :/

Far too sweet to use wherever mayo is used. I guess it has a place if you are trying your hand at 1950's cooking and making the abominations that were served during that era.
Upvoted out of sheer disagreement 🫡
When the war comes we a now have a list of dissenting people. They will be eliminated. Thank you brother.
May miracle be constantly on the whip! (That’s our battle cry for the uninitiated )
What are you putting it on?
I hate it because it's sweet and mayonnaise really ought not be sweet. There is nothing I am using mayo in where I want to introduce sweetness. But maybe you are using it in something I am not.
Do you like sweet pickles too? Now I am picturing the worst tuna salad possible, with miracle whip and sweet pickle relish. Ack.
You just described my ideal tuna fish sandwich...

You monster.
Upvoted.
Kewpie mayo might change your mind. But maybe not. What’s your take on salad cream?
What is salad cream?
Keeps your salad soft and protected from the sun.
It’s a UK thing, kinda like mayo but instead of oil-based it’s vinegar-based and with some mustard in it. Used in effectively the same way. I’ve only had it a few times but it reminded me more of Miracle Whip.

Second the kewpie mayo. I always preferred miracle whip over mayo because at least it has some flavor. But so does kewpie mayo!
For certain dishes.
Like vomit.
You probably think McD makes the best burgers too.
To be fair, no one in their sane mind thinks this.
McDonald's doesn't sell quality they sell consistency.
The fact that you can get a cheeseburger from McDonald's basically anywhere in earth and have the expected experience is nothing short of astonishing.
Same goes for Budweiser, hostess, etc.
I respectfully disagree with your opinion that McDonald's is consistent. Sometimes their Big Mac is delicious and other times I've had them be just meh. Same goes for their fries. I've occasionally got some fries that just aren't salty enough.
I can without clouded judgement agree with your assessment
Where we are failing to see eye to eye is... Think of your favorite most consistent burger.
How many locations do they have?
How consistent is it?
How does that compare to mcds numbers.
It may seem trivial given my agreeing with you, but it's not.
I say this as a level II cicerone (beer sommelier). Beer snobs shit on Budweiser. Real beer snobs don't. And we don't say it's some amazing flavor either. It's consistency.
I digress. I agree, but I think you'd agree with me as well if we agreed on terms rather than split hairs.

IT AIN'T SHIT 'LESS IT GOT THE TANGY ZIP O' MIRACLE WHIP, bitch
Only if you live on a diet that sugar (Glucose, fructose, HFCS, ETC) is a common ingredient.
Two more miracles and BOOM! Saint Whip.
Growing up, my mother always got Miracle Whip instead of mayo, so mayo just tastes weird to me.
But I'm not a big fan of either
Really depends on the use case. Mayonnaise had many more culinary uses than just sandwiches, so it's my go to. But it's really hit or miss depending on how it was kept/who manufactured it. Miracle whip is at least consistent.
Yeah, whenever I visit somebody's house and they have miracle whip, they're usually will be brown.
Finally someone says it! Glad we are on Lemmy this comment got me banned from reddit!
a sandwich isn't a sandwich without the tangy zip of Miracle Whip!
Miracle Whip is the goat. Mix it with soy sauce as a chicken marinate. It's so fucking good.
I have such a crap palate, I use either and don't complain.
For simple sandwiches, like a ham & cheese, I agree.
In all other cases, you're a monster.
