Все началось с того, что у Стивена Кинга появился вопрос, на который он не нашел ответа
Operating under the theory that the only stupid question is the one you don't ask (a postulate with which some may disagree), I pose this: Why is mayonnaise white?

Сперва его подписчики попытались представить майонез других цветов (без особого успеха)
Because it’s not brown.

Just imagine if it were pink.
— J. Hammond (@jhammond_ART) May 23, 2019
Red was taken?
— Nate Phelps (@n8phelps) May 22, 2019
Would you eat it if it was purple?
— Erin Cochran (@ewiggins66) May 22, 2019
Because black mayo would be too metal for the masses to handle

Кто‑то предположил, что у Кинга просто неправильный майонез
Real mayonnaise is yellow, because of the egg yolks. I presume big food decided to make it whiter because yellow a kind of sickly color perhaps.
— Kirk McElhearn (@mcelhearn) May 22, 2019
Because you didn't use good eggs, free-range eggs. Good mayonnaise is yellow.

Nope, sir. Fake mayonnaise is white. The one my (Italian) mother makes with real eggs and real Italian olive oil is green. Otherwise, dark yellow.

Its yellow in Argentina 🧐

Или даже неправильный белый цвет!
Speaking as a graphic designer with an obsession for Pantone colours and colours in general, I can tell you it’s not white. There’s no true white. Just shades of grey. No true black either. I’m so boring.

Разумеется, подтянулись шутники
It's the mayonnaise in it 🤨
— Robert🎼Emmet (@ShabbaDoo72) May 22, 2019
Because if it was red, it would be ketchup.
— Francesc (@Francescfrcs) May 22, 2019
Because you didn't add wasabi.
— paulbiagi (@paulbiagi) May 22, 2019
Because if it were yellow it would be mustard....
— Stewart🐰💗🌸 (@StewBunny) May 23, 2019
It doesn't get out in the sun much?
— John S Alty (@JohnSaltyjohn) May 22, 2019
It's all about condiment identity, and the strong desire to differentiate from mustard.

Mayonnaise was invented in 1756 by the chef of the Duc de Richelieu. After the Duc beat the British at Port Mahon, his chef created a victory feast including a sauce made of cream and eggs.
— Van (@jcvandez) May 22, 2019
The Duc said, “I want this the color of their surrender flag.”
Ok, BS, but sounded good.
I don't know, but it probably has something to do with the Russians.

И, разумеется, больше всего шутили про белых американцев
— Kaitlin Bain (@KaitlinBain) May 22, 2019
Because it has an inflated sense of importance and superiority and historically disenfranchises other condiments

It's a metaphor for America.
— CF Yetmen (@CFYetmen) May 22, 2019
Cuz it's white people food, that's called targeted marketing baby
— Connor "the bigness" Price (@BeamKazoo) May 22, 2019
Because it’s really committed to make America great again

К счастью, кое‑кто просто взял и ответил на вопрос: загадка века раскрыта
Because mayonnaise is an emulsion. Very fine droplets of oil suspended in water. This diffuses light differently from either oil or water alone. Sort of like if you vigorously shake up a liquid and air bubbles get suspended in it it can appear white.

Но после прочтения всего этого можно сделать только один вывод
Damn. Now I want a sandwich.
