Have you ever thought about what they put on the sandwiches in the cafeteria at The Mayo Clinic?
You might be a redneck if you think "The Mayo Clinic" is a place you go to kick a salad dressing addiction.
So, the Mayo Clinic - is that a research facility for Kraft Foods?
This is discrimination - Why isn't there a "Miracle Whip Clinic"?
Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico,which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York. This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day. The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as...
Sinko de Mayo.

Excerpt: "In the Southeastern part of the United States, Mrs. Eugenia Duke of Greenville, South Carolina, founded the Duke Sandwich Company in 1917 to sell sandwiches to soldiers training at nearby Fort Sevier. Her homemade mayonnaise became so popular that her company began to focus exclusively on producing and selling the mayonnaise, eventually selling out to the C.F. Sauer Company of Richmond, Virginia, in 1929. Duke's Mayonnaise, still made to the original recipe, remains a popular brand of mayonnaise in the Southeast, although it is not generally available in other markets."

Miracle Whip is a salad dressing and sandwich spread invented in Salem, Illinois at Max Crosset's Cafe. It was originally called Max Crossett's X-tra Fine Salad Dressing. Crosset sold it to Kraft Foods in 1931 for $300 (approximately $4000 in 2006 dollars)[1][2] Kraft still manufactures it today. It is advertised as having the taste of mayonnaise with half the fat. Kraft Foods has recently changed the formula of Miracle Whip. This "new formula" utilizes less soybean oil, making for a "water-based" Miracle Whip.[3][4]
According to the Kraft Foods website, Miracle Whip debuted at the Century of Progress World's Fair held in Chicago from 1933 to 1934, during the height of the Great Depression.[5][6] The Kraft Foods site also explains that "the Miracle Whip" was inventor Charles Chapman's informal name for his patented "emulsifying machine" that was originally used to blend the ingredients in the mayonnaise-like product.[7][8]
