And America's Favorite Condiment Is...Hellmann's Mayonnaise Beats Out Ketchup, Salsa

Spread the news: America's favorite condiment is not ketchup or salsa, but Hellmann's mayonnaise, the New York Post reported. Hellmann's racked up $401.2 million in sales last year, according to Businessweek -- nearly a third of the $1.3 billion U.S. mayo market. Heinz Ketchup was a distant third with $278.6 million in sales, edged out by the $286.2 million worth of Tostito's salsa sold last year. Mayo's dominance is such that the varieties account for five of the 10 most popular condiment brands, including Best Foods and Kraft, the Post reported Sunday. According to SymphonyIRI Group, a market-research firm that analyzed the sales data, nearly 400 million containers of mayonnaise were sold in the year ending Sept. 5, 2010. Mustard didn't show up on the list until No. 7, with French’s Classic, which sold $88 million of the yellow stuff last year.

Is butter a condiment? Because that's probably the only one I really like.

I like ketchup and salsa. I don't like mustard, relish, or mayo.

Dork · 09-19-2011, 11:03 PM

Mustard for me, I only eat ketcup with fries, mayo is alright, I do not eat mayo much

Liver and onions, fried potatoes smothered in Ketchup MMMMmmm

Catsup is my favorite condiment

Penny Lane · 09-20-2011, 04:25 AM

ketchup and mustard I detest Mayo!It looks disgusting! Especially when the person eating it has it on their face.

old grouch · 09-20-2011, 09:31 AM

I love ketchup. (Or is it catsup??? I never knew the difference.)

robyrob · 09-20-2011, 10:10 AM

is this strictly grocery sales, or commercial as well? I assume Hellman's gets used in a lot of other products whereas ketchup would not.

Also, mayonnaise is a lot more expensive than ketchup or mustard...

that said, I prefer mayonnaise over ketchup or mustard, but tartar sauce is #1 (which is made with mayo) for me

steevo · 09-20-2011, 10:47 AM

For me, it depends on what I am eating at the time. I agree with America (from the article)

I love Hellman's mayonnaise for tuna, and ham and cheese sandwiches. For hot dogs, I love Gulden's spicy brown mustard. I was never a fan of ketchup, though, never had it on anything, even fries.

JamesG · 09-20-2011, 12:45 PM

I LOVE mayo. I can have it with almost anything.

I like mustard too. (my fav. is Grey Poupon)

For me ketchup is tolerable, but I never got into it.

I also like soy sauce (Japanese version), hot sauce, A1 Steak Sauce, and the classic salt & pepper.

I don't care for salsa, oil & vinegar, relish, and duck sauce.

andress_jade · 09-20-2011, 01:58 PM

I love ketchup! I pretty much eat it on everything. I like it on hot dogs, hamburgers, french fries. I don't really care for it on eggs.

I hate mustard! I think it's disgusting. I can't even stand the smell of it and when I see someone putting it on their hot dog or hamburger, it makes me gag. They are ruining a perfectly good hot dog or hamburger.
I hate sweet and sour sauce, it's so nasty!

I like mayo and Miracle Whip, soy sauce, tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and salsa.

Penny Lane · 09-20-2011, 02:03 PM

Practice safe snax...use a condiment

tiredmike59 · 09-20-2011, 02:05 PM

I hate mayo,looks like bird poop. I like mustard and catsup but my favorite is bar b que sauce, it goes on everything, chili, spaghetti etc... my top brand is open pit.

Number 9 Dream · 09-21-2011, 11:57 PM

I've never met a condiment I don't like

For me, most foods have to be jazzed up with something. I put ketchup on fries, burgers, eggs, hot dogs. I put mustard on hot dogs, too (as well as the occasional burger). Mayo is good for sandwiches and burgers. Oil and vinegar has always been an awesome combo for salads and sandwiches. In short...condiments rock

OH Nuts! · 09-22-2011, 02:20 PM

Mayo mayo mayo mayo (mine anyways)

And praise be to God, Hellman's light tastes great for 1/3 of reg mayo's calories.
