If I wanted a dry sandwich I wouldn't put anything on it. I like to taste the mayo on the sandwich I'm eating. If tomatoes are involved, the mayo and tomato juice will be dripping off my fingers by the time I'm done. And oh, Duke's is the only mayonnaise there is.
 
I don’t always mayonnaise, but when I do it’s usually on a leftover turkey sandwich and there are globs. If my cardiologist ever saw what I do he’d drop me as a patient.
 
Depends on the application, thick , thin or a dollop on the plate.

If you like a little kick here is a solid dipping sauce.
A few tablespoons of DUKES
slightly less ketchup
Too taste
Sriracha
Ground horseradish

Comes out orange , and my kids call it orange sauce

Depends on the sandwich. I use more on a banana sandwich than on anything else. But I never use as much as most fast food places, I think they apply it with a shovel.

I've been in the industry for 44 years. I can tell you what sauces a cook likes by how much they dress the sandwich with. I've seen cooks put small dots, the size of dimes, of Ketchup on a sandwich. I look at the cook and say "You don't like Ketchup, do you?" and they say how do I know.

If you're getting a shovel load of mayo, the the cook likes it. Just an observation from dealing with people for a very long time.

By the way, I hate a dry sandwich. I'm not going to load it up, but dress it per the specs of the build to sheets.

It depends on what type of sandwich.

My wife preps the grilled cheese. Thin smear on both pieces of bread, cheese, then I toast with butter.

Ham, or tomato sandwich, I go heavy

With fries. Ironically despite this being super common in Europe, it took an American to get me doing this.

Yes, and now I love mayo (and mayo/ketchup mixed) with fries.

After my surgery and radiation I ended up with about 50% of my salivary glands (and taste buds), so now I need a lot of moisture and mayo is the perfect conduit.

I used to hate mayo - then I found McCormick Mayonesa With Lime Juice on the "International" aisle @ Spralmart
Love that stuff!

Use it on burgers, sandwiches and to toast sandwiches - it is easier to spread on the outside than butter and it doesn't burn.

I've been mixing a couple of squirts of the Tabasco Sweet and Spicy with mayo or ranch for a dipping sauce. Fantastic.

I do something similar; mix in the sauce from a can of chipotle's in adobo = instant chipotle mayo
 
This reminds me, the other night the wife made us a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches, in the air fryer. Really nice texture to the bread, and thick Colby cheese melted to perfection. Said she saw that pioneer woman making them earlier. Two bites in, I’m like “did you put mayonnaise on this grilled cheese”? Why of course, why, you don’t like it? Hell no, who in the hell puts mayonnaise on a grilled cheese? I mean damn, you think you know someone.
 
So I grew up making my lunch to take with me working a loader truck in SC in the summer.

Mayonnaise spoils in the heat. Mustard doesn’t.

I think that’s the main reason I don’t like the devils condiment. I never worked up a taste for it.

Nowadays I will put a very, very thin layer on one side of a sandwich with a dry meat like Turkey.

It cannreally give life to slightly dry bread.

Had a ham radio friend who lived for about six years in a town in northern Russia. He said you would have thought the national food was mayonnaise because the stores had an aisle devoted to it. He said he really loved living there and the people were awesome, but the -140f winters were brutal.
 
Because I was born a yankee in NJ Hellmans is my favorite, but I love Dukes also.

Miracle whip is a mystery to me.
 
I go with the miracle whip on the nanner sandwich, both sides,thick layer ,and for bologna, ham leftover turkey and other meats I grab the duke's thick layer, both sides with a healthy dose ov black pepper
 
I like my mayo. I'm OK with eating dukes or Helmans or what is available where ever I'm at and need mayo. But personally I'm a JFG man. Miracle whip gets no play at all can't stand the salad dressing crap want to be mayo. Now my dad is die hard dukes and keeps packs of it on him so if he eats at a place that doesn't have dukes he is ready.

You've never heard of mayo and banana sandwich? Must not be from around here. You don't know what your missing. I occasionally do peanut butter and banana. But most times it's gonna be mayo and it's delicious.
 
Goldilocks amount. Not a super thin layer, but not a thick layer. I dont care for a sloppy sammich, or the meat shooting out the end of a burger or whatever.
