Whippers of the World Unite!!

No I am not talking S&M or spanking your children.  I am talking Miracle Whip.

I have been a whipper for a long time.  I didn't realize that it wasn't Mayo until as a child I visited the house of a friend and she made me a sandwich with....mayo!  I almost spit it out.  What was that strange white paste that she slathered on my bread?  She asked if I wanted mayo and I said, "Yes."  Little did I know that we did not agree on the definition of mayo.

So then what do I do, but move on to a sailboat for ten years and live in Central America.  There are many things that you learn to live without on a sailboat.  Miracle Whip is one of those things.  I remember on our annual trip to the States that we always picked up several jars of Miracle Whip.  I can't tell you how happy I was when they started packaging it in plastic squeeze bottles.  They travel much better than glass jars.  When guests came to visit we asked them to transport it for us.  Imagine our surprise when in the Bay Islands of Honduras we discovered that we could actually buy Miracle Whip.  I almost fell on my knees in front of the display.

So now Miracle Whip has this commercial campaign.  Personally I don't understand NOT liking Miracle Whip.  It is the condiment of the gods.  It makes the best taste even better.  I can't imagine my turkey sandwich without the tang of Miracle Whip.  And Deviled Eggs, what would they be without Miracle Whip?  Tasteless I tell you.
