  • Do People Really Put Mayonnaise In Coffee?

    (The fact that it actually blends with the coffee means that, in my opinion, it is already a superior addition compared to mayo, although that's not saying much.)

  • Would You Put Mayonnaise In Your Coffee? | Sprudge Coffee

    Arguably the most contentious condiment on the market, mayonnaise on its own is much debated. It is either a beloved spread that elevates dishes it is added to, like a creamy salt, or it is a reviled viscous substance not allowed anywhere near one’s refrigerator. There is no middle path, nor is anyone switching sides. Mayo feelings are already a powder keg, so when you add them, somewhat shockingly, to a beloved and deeply felt drink like coffee, well, you should expect fireworks.
