People who love to drive longs distances. People who love mayonnaise. People who react strongly at the mention of drugs.

Nothing. But there’s this segment of the boomer generation that’s notoriously obsessed with it. They put it on everything.
No doubt they all got exposed to the same tv commercial and it took.

I don’t love to defend advertising/marketing, but your statement implies that once something has been advertised, organic interest/enjoyment becomes impossible.
Sure, there might’ve been a big ad push that rocketed mayo to the top of people’s condiment lists. But there are dozens of other things that could also create interest (new foods that pair well with it, new recipes that are shared culturally, loss of a competing product, diet changes)

Bizarre, I’ve never encountered this, but maybe I’m just avoiding that segment of people, or the mayo lobby wasn’t as on point in Oz
