About Mayo, Ketchup, Mustard

The Eternal Condiment Debate

For as long as humans have been eating food, we've been arguing about how to make it taste better. Mayo, Ketchup, Mustard exists because somewhere between the first hot dog vendor and the millionth french fry, humanity forgot how to agree on condiments.

This isn't just another food website. It's a digital democracy where fries finally get their say, hot dogs cast their votes, and chicken nuggets voice their opinions. We're settling debates that have torn families apart and started cafeteria food fights since the dawn of condiment consciousness.

The Philosophy of Condiments

Think about it: condiments are the wardrobe of food. You wouldn't wear the same outfit to a beach party and a job interview, so why should your sandwich wear mayo to every occasion? Each condiment has its personality, its moment, its destiny with certain foods.

Mayo is the diplomat—smooth, rich, and gets along with almost everyone. It doesn't shout for attention; it whispers creamy sophistication.

Ketchup is the populist—sweet, tangy, bold, and unapologetically American. It's the condiment equivalent of fireworks: loud, bright, and everyone has an opinion about it.

Mustard is the intellectual—sharp, complex, and not afraid to be polarizing. It cuts through the noise (and the fat) with acidic precision.

Why We Built This

Traditional food sites tell you what *they* think belongs on your food. Recipe blogs force their opinions down your throat like an uninvited dinner guest. Food critics act like condiment choices are personality tests (they're not...or are they?).

We took a different approach: what if we just asked everyone? What if, instead of one chef's opinion, we collected thousands of honest votes from real people eating real food in real life?

That's how Mayo, Ketchup, Mustard was born—not from a marketing meeting or a focus group, but from a simple question: "What does the crowd actually think?"

The Science of Sauce

Condiments aren't just flavor—they're food science. Mayo adds fat content that carries flavors and creates mouthfeel. Ketchup delivers umami alongside its sugar rush. Mustard brings acidity that balances richness and cuts through heavy foods.

When you vote on this site, you're not just expressing a preference. You're contributing to a living database of human taste perception. You're mapping the collective palate of the internet. You're helping answer the age-old question: "What actually tastes good?"

How Crowdsourcing Changes Everything

Traditional food wisdom comes from chefs, grandmothers, and whoever writes cookbooks. But taste is personal, cultural, generational, and constantly evolving. A single chef's opinion—no matter how skilled—can't capture what billions of people actually prefer.

Crowdsourcing cuts through the noise. If 1,000 people say mayo belongs on fries, who are we to argue? If mustard dominates the hot dog category, the data speaks louder than tradition.

The Three Pillars

What We're Not

We're not a cooking site. We're not selling condiments. We're not trying to change your mind or convert you to a particular sauce philosophy. We're just counting votes and having fun.

If you're looking for gourmet aioli recommendations or artisanal sriracha reviews, this isn't the place. But if you want to know what the internet thinks about pickles and ketchup? You've found your home.

The Cultural Impact of Condiments

Condiments have shaped civilization more than most people realize. The global spice trade built empires. Fish sauce defined ancient Roman cuisine. Ketchup went from a fermented fish paste in Southeast Asia to a tomato-based American icon.

Today, your condiment choice is part of your identity. Mayo people are different from mustard people. Ketchup lovers have their own cultural codes. We're not saying it's tribal, but...it's kind of tribal.

Join the Movement

Every search you make, every vote you cast, every disagreement you register adds to the collective wisdom. You're not just using a website—you're participating in a grand experiment about taste, preference, and the power of crowds to settle debates that have raged since the invention of the sandwich.

So spin the wheel. Vote your conscience. Disagree boldly. The data will sort it out.

Privacy & Philosophy

We believe in anonymous votes because condiment preferences should be judgment-free. No one needs to know you put ketchup on your eggs (but if you do, please reconsider). Your votes shape the recommendations without revealing your identity.
