Learned to mix mayo in with mom's purple hull peas and sop up all the goodness with a sister shubert's roll. Also mayo on pineapple slices top with cheese was very common at our house.

Homemade mayo is the way to go. Kensington's is my favorite store brand.

I drink all four of those at times. Pibb and Dr Pepper are very similar. I do think Pibb is just a touch sweeter with less bite than Dr Pepper.

Coke and Pepsi taste nothing alike to me. Cherry Pepsi Zero is one of the best diet drinks out there.
I feel like a blasphemer bringing this up... but regular Pepsi Zero is not half bad. My daughter went into a store and was supposed to get me a Diet Coke. She 'says' they were out of DC - the investigation is still ongoing into this matter - but regardless, she brought out a Pepsi Zero. I was enraged at first, obviously, but we were in a hurry so I decided to try to choke it down anyway.

Shockingly not bad. It's without a doubt better than that trash Diet Pepsi, and in my opinion, also miles better than Coke Zero.

I guarantee you if we did a blind taste test none of you could distinguish any of the mayo listed. It all tastes the same.
I could easily pick out Blue Plate because that's all I've ever eaten at home, growing up and now. I probably couldn't tell the others, maybe Dukes and Hellmans because I think they're terrible. I might could get Kraft because it's what I would buy if I couldn't get Blue Plate. I lived in Oxford for a few years before going to State (hell no I did not go to ole miss) and I used to love getting a roast beef sandwich and loading up on toppings at the salad bar. They had Kraft which I didn't really have a problem with. That's the only time I ever remember having it.

I don’t like any of the Diet labeled drinks. Zeros are much better because they have two artificial sweeteners instead of just one.

**And I’m sure someone is going to chime
in saying diet drinks are terrible because of article sweeteners are the devil. Well you’re wrong, so save it.

Monster has them all beat. Their green tea rehab beverage actually tastes like green tea and only has 15 calories. The grape and apple are also top notch.

Aspartame is the devil and the devil got it to market in the USA. The CEO of the maker of aspartame, GD Searle and Co, was none other than everyone's best friend, Donald Rumsfeld. He got a mega bonus from Searle after leveraging his political power within the FDA to get it approved for use. Drink it up.

It’s also one of the most studied food/drink ingredients in the history of food science and has been found to be completely safe.

I imagine the truth is somewhere in the middle. It's probably bad for you in extreme quantities, like nearly every other damn thing in life. Hell, you can die of drinking too much WATER.

But a can or two of diet soda daily is not going to make anyone sick.

Hopefully.*

For diet drinks to cause harm to an average sized person you would have to drink 20+ cans of diet soda daily for years to cause harm.

Always remember, the dose makes the poison.

Wouldn't say they're the devil, just don't like the taste. That said, I was a creamer/sugar with a bit of coffee guy many years ago until a diet I tried forced me to black. Now I don't like any thing in my coffee (way easier too). Most diet/zero soda folks I know think the same of the regular stuff (too sweet).
What you get acclimated to with enough repetition I guess, just never forced my self to change from regular Coke.

I think we can all agree that TAB was among the worst products ever brought to market? I remember the "diet girls" of my HS years forcing themselves to drink that stuff and still couldn't acquire a taste for it. Just said this is awful and drank it anyway.

^^^ I can distinguish between real mayo and not real mayo, or the fat free versus non-fat free, but that's it. Don't think I could tell the difference between made with olive oil or without, but maybe if I had them right after each other.

Studies paid for by the drug manufacturer. You can buy a scientist just as easily as a politician.
You're full of **** on this one. You can't just grab any scientist at random and be 99% sure they'll sell out. Might have to try several to find what you're looking for. Never heard of a PAC having to walk out of a meeting with a politician with their contribution check still in their pocket.**

Ok man whatever you say. Keep rocking the tin foil hat. Next thing you’re going to tell me is the earth is flat because it’s a government coverup.

Not all are. So what actual studies do you recommend? It's gotta be exhausting looking at ingredients on a product and doing your own research to find those non-big pharma studies to see if something is safe.

Ditto but dad liked mayo and cheese on pear halves so we rarely got the pineapple version.

I'm just here to say that mayo is just an oil emulsification and anyone who "hates" mayo but likes any of the numerous sauces where mayo is the base or likes fried food is basically a culinary toddler. I'll also add, it is scientific that mayo on the bottom bun or bread under a hot or grilled meat is the only way because it acts as a barrier to the meat's juices keeping your bread's integrity (since it's a an oil emulsification). No mayo children regularly have to eat soggy bread which is both a travesty and disgusting.

Last thing, the only difference in base of mayo and any italian dressing or vinaigrette is one has egg yolk, the other has some kind of vinegar.

I bet some people would be surprised to find that a lot of fine dining establishments use mayo in their dishes. I know of a few around the Jackson Metro that use exclusively Duke's... but I'm sure chefs' tastes vary too.

That and my dad was a molecular pathologist who did studies and research on brain cancer.
