I'm in the Anti-Miracle Whip camp. EWWWW! I like Hellman's light mayo, but typically I stick to mustard.
In high school, I did have a friend who liked to eat peanut butter and mayo sandwiches......
I, too, grew up with Miracle Whip being used as "mayo". So, I have never noticed a lot of difference but do prefer mayo. I like the light or fat free even and will have to look for the mix with olive or canola oil. However, I mostly use it in things like tuna salad or deviled eggs. I only want mayo on a sandwich if the sandwich has cheese. So, if I am doing a hamburger, I use mustard and skip the cheese. I actually like that better anyway. I guess it comes from growing up in Oklahoma with a #2 Sonic hamburger as my fav - lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and onion (and, of course, mustard - #1 burger had mayo). Nothing compares! I still forget and order by the old #2 even though they changed their menu years ago.
I used to love Miracle Whip. But then a few months ago I tried Hellman's Mayo for the first time and fell in love. It is literally finger lickin' good! Now I can't stand the fake stuff.. it's just like gross sugary chemicals. Now I'm finding I have little to no self control when it comes to how much I slop the real mayo onto my sammiches, so I HAVE to get the 1/2 fat kind because I don't like it as much so naturally I put less.
I've got a cold or sinus issue going on, and hubby did the shopping yesterday. He forgot the list he saw I had been making, but was so proud that he'd remembered everything, including the mayo (I didn't even realize he was going shopping, or I would have given him the exact type and brand I wanted).
A few hours later, I looked in the fridge and saw (eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek) Aldi's "salad dressing." Now Aldi's mayo is decent (though not reduced calorie), so that wouldn't have been a problem. I asked Hubby if he knew that he picked up salad dressing (a store brand Miracle Whip, I'm guessing) instead of mayo, and (sweet guy) offered to go back out and get mayo for me.
I haven't decided whether we're taking the salad dressing back to the store to exchange, or whether I'll just buck up and use this instead. I have to admit that if I decide not to buy mayo until this jar of evil stuff is empty, it will be a very long time without mayo.

Definitely not worth eating a whole jar of fattening stuff you don't even like.
Mayo is not the evil gunk in a jar that a lot of people consider it to be. It has healthy fat in it, if you limit yourself to a serving and don't overdo it. Midday lunch of a can of tuna mixed with chopped celery, onion, and a tablespoon of mayo served on greens? Perfect. There's the healthy protein and omega fats in the tuna, and the perfect serving size of the healthy appetite supressing fat found in mayo. Now what's not to love?
Hahahah, has anyone seen that girl on Dr Phil who had an insane fear of mayo? She had a mayo phobia. When forced to confront the evil mayo, she shrieked in terror and literally cringed.

Some brands have healthy fats, not all. You want to make sure it's canola or olive oil, although olive oil would be best.
