17. Section 169.140 Mayonnaise

Sat Nov 15, 2014, 06:52 PM

Nov 2014

Draw your attention to:

(e) Nomenclature. The name of the food is "Mayonnaise".

Nowhere does Just Mayo call itself "mayonnaise" so kinda end of story. Boo hoo, Unilever. But hey, thanks for the free Just Mayo press! Most folks probably would have never heard of it, nor ever heard that Bill Gates was partially behind it, or that it won taste tests. Well done, you idiots.

The usual brand of DU outrage notwithstanding (though hilarious) I think I'd be more concerned about "chicken nuggets" that only need to be 35% actual meat (but "Just Mayo" is misleading), or that it's okay to sell corn meal with rat shit in it.

Up next: ketchup v catsup, battle to the death.
