Growing up on the east coast I remember the jingle:

"Bring out the Hellman's and bring out the best"

Imagine my surprise when I moved west and discovered it was:

"Bring out the Best Foods and bring out the best"




I still like the name Hellman's better. More character. Best Foods is so corporate sounding.

Tks guys, Best is one of them

It goes under 2 names here...'Best' & more commonly another which i cant find out. Thats enough info to find it though.

I had some about 3 weeks ago & have been looking for it ever since.

Very hard to find here.

Thats enough info though. So is it yank or canadian ?

Don't know about Canadian, but it's sold all over the US.

boy, when you google candaian mayo, do you ever get a lot of responses!

Best Foods may be Canadian. Kraft is (or was). Kraft's mayo is called Miracle Whip. It also comes with a simple blue and white label. Check out kraftcanada.com
When I googled, one article I read indicated that Hellman's was invented turn of the last century in NY at a deli named Hellman's.

And, for more trivia, my aunt in Seattle used to call mayo 'tang' (which in Canada was a type of drink crystal).

The things you learn!

Let's be very clear here:

Miracle Whip is NOT mayonnaise.

Gus, I found this quote here.

What is Miracle Whip? Miracle Whip is part of Satan's plan for the destruction of all that is good and pure in the world. The true dividing line in America is not Right vs. Left or Urbs vs. Non-Urbs, it's God-Fearing and Righteous Consumers of Mayonaise vs. the Unwashed Hordes of Heathen Slaves to Miracle Whip Who, When the Rapture Comes, Will Not be Counted Among the Blessed, If You Know What I Mean. It's kind of like mayonaise, but with extra sugar, or something.

It's almost as bad as Vegemite.

Never had 'miracle whip' David. Sounds like its someones plan.

Im still telling people here about sitting at the table with Greaper & Steve at our main dinner in Yosemite & everyone eating corn bread with their ribs.

Greaper : (mid west accent) "Hey Gus...wheres your corn bread ?"
Gus : (superb english) " I didnt see any bread over there"
Steve : (through 2 rib bones) " Sure Gus...its over there"

Gus goes & looks again...

Gus : "..no bread over there"
Greaper : " I'll get it for you"

Greaper returns with a cupcake & puts it in front of Gus.

Gus remains silent & looks to see if anyone is having a lend of him & laughing behind their plate of ribs.

Gus : " Guys...this is a cake"
Steve : " Thats corn bread Gus...get into it"

Gus : " When in rome..." takes a bite of ribs & quickly follows with a bite
of the sweet cupcake.

Man i had a good time.
