Wow, this made me realize I haven't seen mayo in a glass jar in years.
I picked up one last month. Organic. Hated it...

Should call that classic American Size. Today the standard container size measured in American comes half filled at twice the price.
Hell yeah.
Mayo tanker truck waiting patiently for the BBQ sauce and Pepto Bismol tanker trucks to depart...

In Brazil the "American cup" is the smallest size of cup and I'm always found that hilarious.

That’s not American enough, should be a bucket of Duke’s.
That's not big enough.
It should be the 2 gallon Costco-sized jug to truly be 'Merican.
...and that's an accurate adjective
Finland is in the top 10 of the most mayo consuming countries, so they could just as well call it "save a trip" size.
This is smaller than a medium size jar in Canada (890 mL). Large is 1.4 L.
Pretty normal. See "California king size bed".
600g? Those are rookie numbers. You call that American size? Our smallest jars are 390 (15 oz) grams. Regular and large jars are 780 (30 oz) and 1248 grams (48 oz). And they do have ridiculously big jars too, 1 gallon jars, i.e. 128 oz and 3328 grams, for, like, restaurants and doomsday preppers... or dudes that just really love mayonnaise, I guess.
Out of curiosity, I just checked my pantry. I have two 30 ounce jars (1400+ grams), sitting in reserve.
This genuinely represents a failure to comprehend the scale of American food products.

They're not lieing...
this is literally the first thing that comes up if you search mayonaise in the US.
Maybe don't eat the mayo in the doomsday prepper bunker.
You leave me and my gallons of bunker mayo alone.
That sounds like how the zombie apocalypse starts.
Zombie or no zombie, it's how I'm going out.
