> I like to mix Ketchup and Mayo (or Mircle Whip, actually...) to make fry sauce for my fries...

[snip]

Okay, I consider myself a fairly open-minded person, especially when considering food products. I try food experiments and various mixtures of food experiments that most people wouldn't even look at, let alone taste.

But you've gone way beyond my limits of rationalization when you mentioned mixing mayo and ketchup (no matter how you spell it). Mayo's a fine product, don't get me wrong, but it's made of some rather unusual food products (raw eggs, etc.) I could be wrong on that (open to correction), but that's basically like mixing some unusual raw-egg-based product with a tomato-paste product, then dipping your french fries in the resulting pale-pinkish mix.

Perhaps my aversion to this particular mix stems from an early childhood experience of mine, in which some friends offered to "mix" me a coke, by raiding the refrigerator for every liquid product in it and mixing it into a half-filled glass of coke they found sitting on a table. I drank it and smiled, just to watch their reactions, but I know for a fact that ketchup and mayo were part of the mix (is mayo even a liquid? I dunno). I could get past the lemon juice, the pickle juice, the cherry juice, the tabasco sauce, even the mustard and the extra-sour-tear-jerker that they threw in for good measure... but that mayo-ketchup mix was something that I'll never forget for the rest of my days.
