*Miracle Whip is made from water, soybean oil, high-fructose corn syrup, vinegar, modified corn starch, eggs, salt, natural flavor, mustard flour, potassium sorbate, spice, and dried garlic.

Changed the ingredients because the source said sugar and not corn syrup. Miracle whip is basically a science experiment to make super cheap mayo. It's like comparing cheddar cheese to American cheeze. One just isnt right.

Miracle Whip is like a sweeter mayo. Unless you were born and raised with it, then you'll likely hate it.

Mayonnaise can be made simply by emulsifying oil into egg yolks. It's super easy to make if you want, and it's easy to modify by adding spices or seasonings. You don't eat it by itself, but it's fantastic for use in baking, mashed potatoes, sandwiches, sauces, and dips.

Mayo is primarily an ingredient for use on something else. You would never eat flour by itself, just like you'd never eat straight mayo by itself.
