Commercial mayonnaise – likes, dislikes?

[Tropicalsenior]

We don't have much choice for mayonnaise in Costa Rica. The only three State side brands available are Kraft, Hellmans, and Great Value.

Kraft is available in jars but more often in this squeeze bottle. Hellmann's only comes in the plastic packages. Great Value, which is the least desirable, is available in both.

A while back when I was in the store I took a picture and counted the types available that are made in central America and there were 24 different types, all of them pretty dismal.

As somebody said upthread, it's a shame they no longer use glass jars. They were so useful. I still have two of these left from about 20 years ago.

When I was  a kid, I can remember a brand of yellow mustard (don't remember which one) coming in a glass jar which, once it was emptied, became a drinking glass. My grandmother had a full set of them.
