If it’s some overly sweet thing, it’s no mayonnaise, it’s fritesaus

When I worked for Motorola, I had lunch in one of their facilities in the northwest around Düsseldorf IIRC, and it was not sweet and definitely industrial-grade mayo. I ate my pommes dry.

Interesting article. Thanks for posting. It’s good to know that “la mayonnaise “traditionnelle”” will still be available in Belgium.
I worked at McDonalds as a kid and people would come in and order fries, and they would ask for a sundae cup lid filled with mayonnaise from the mayonnaise gun. It was like a cup of mayonnaise. I never trusted McDonald’s mayo. You should have to refrigerate mayo.

Well, the article is from 2016, when they changed their legislation, but Belgians still take their fries seriously

Luckily, superb Mayones builds do not include the creamy condiment in the gig bag. 
Except in loving tribute.
The story behind the name is that, over 40 years ago, the founder’s father worked with a friend nicknamed "Mayonnaise” because he had a great fondness for the stuff.
An excerpt from an article (from maybe No Treble?) about the name origin of Mayones Guitars yielded this explanation:
There is very little information to be found when it comes to the history of the brand’s name. It is a somewhat common practice for guitar luthiers to call their wooden creations after their last name: Leo Fender, Paul Reed Smith and Orville Gibson to name a few. This was not the case with Mayones! Legend has it that in the early days of guitar production, before the brand was fully formed, (founders) Mr & Mrs Dziewulski colaborated with a friend nicknamed ‘Mayonnaise’ - simply because he loved adding this creamy sauce onto virtually everything he ate! Having no other ideas, they used the name as a temporary fix - and the rest is history. A light-hearted name that stuck and surely stands out on the market. Irresistible touch!

I read article dates just about as often as I read user manuals.

Which is the ONLY way God intended!
In Holland we even have a special variation of “mayo”, which is called “frites sauce”.
It’s so delicious, that I want to rub it all over my body, so to speak 
Like this, only with pleasure!
Oh yes, and you can get it in 10l buckets. It’s french fries paradise!!!

I was so taken with Booker’s gorgeous Mayones Jabba that the plethora of condi-mental derailing flew right by me.
But take heart(burn): For any and all who are hellbent on reveling in saucy commentary, there is a dedicated condiment discourse dispensary:

The best Germans that is.
This is an amazingly good combo. You can dip fries in most anything and they taste great. McDonald’s shakes are stellar for instance.

pretty sure nearly every culture has some variation of fried root veggies and salt.
Japan is all in on mayo too. The Kewpie headquarters looks like a spaceport.
Which is funny because JAXA’s buildings all look like mayo factories.
Mayo:
Literal rocket science:

Very pretty, I guess I’ve never seen the backside of one. I was a little surprised by the natural wood on the back. Very cool look and it’ll wear a lot nicer than if they’d gone with the glossy black.
