Originally created in 1756 by the French under Louis Francois Armand de Vignerot du Plessis, duc de Richelieu, captured Mahon on the Spanish-held island of Minorca.

When it comes to Hellman’s there product is very simple it’s just raw egg yolks, oil, lemon juice or vinegar, and spices. It’s one of those love it or hate it kind of things. It’s simply just a thick white dressing. However, the sweeter one is Miracle Whip, the difference is it has about 20 different spices and it’s made with sugar in a patented emulsifying machine. Miracle Whip was created by Charles Chapman in 1933 from Kraft Foods.

The main difference between mayonnaise and Miracle Whip are the sweeteners: high fructose corn syrup and sugar are the fourth and fifth ingredients, respectively, of Miracle Whip. In my opinion I’d chose the simpler of the two brands, the Hellman’s. I don’t prefer all the extra sweet stuff on my food. Sometimes simpler is just better. Who needs all the extra? We have enough added stuff in the course of our diets throughout the day that we don’t even know what we are eating. I’d like to know that I’m not
