I'm sad that I missed posting this on the 4th
Maybe American ant size. Costco sells a lovely 1.9L jar.

That's nothing compared to Slavic-sized!
Even the jar looks like it needs to be on a diet

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.
There's also the family that uses mayo and only goes shopping once a month or whatever. Some of those bigger jars are something like two normal sandwiches a day for a month, which is totally possible if you're packing lunch for two kids.
Some of our preposterous containers of food are because some people decide to live unreasonably far from a grocery store, or just go shopping infrequently and buy huge amounts of food.
(This has the side effect of making them buy bigger cars to hold the groceries and family that now has to come along because it's such a long trip, and that makes it miserable so they try to do it as infrequently as possible, so they need to buy a lot of groceries to hold them over. )
I haven't seen anything under 20oz in my supermarket, but I'm not buying the fancy "organic" stuff, just the squeeze things for picnics and the larger jars for home.

That's not big enough.
It should be the 2 gallon Costco-sized jug to truly be 'Merican.
In America the family sized mayo comes in a 55 gallon barrel. That'll last for about a month.

How does it compare to amateur mayonnaise?
Amateur mayonnaise practices until it gets it right.
Professional mayonnaise practices until it does not get it wrong.
