We use Miracle Whip exclusively in our house. It goes on lots of things.
Sandwiches, mixed with some green veggies. I even make a quick salad dressing by mixing it with heavy cream, or use that dressing for cole slaw.
I dollop it on baked potatoes........................................

I grew up on Miracle Whip - it's all my mother ever bought. We called it mayonnaise, and I didn't know the difference until I was an adult.
Miracle Whip has more of a sweet/tart taste while mayonnaise tastes creamier and smoother.
Now, in my house I keep them both on hand and use them for different things. For example, I can eat mayonnaise right off the spoon for a snack - I can't do that with MW!

It's a bit like Heinz Salad Cream Ray, which I might add I can only get now if I happen to find it on the imports aisle at a large supermarket.

Added note:
You know how we in the states have almost an entire freaking aisle of salad dressings and such?
When I lived in the UK, the ONLY salad dressings I could find were the above, and once in a while Kraft Ranch and about 4 others on the shelf... this was at a store called Sainsbury's. They had everything lol

I like MW on sandwiches sometimes.
When it comes to making cold salads, it's got to be real mayo.

There was a time in my twenties and was a new convert to Hellman's, that I just couldn't get my sandwiches to taste right. I'd put mustard and pickles in, but still couldn't get them to taste right. The I realized that my Mom had made all those school lunch sandwiches with Miracle Whip, not mayo. So I tried that and bingo! They tasted exactly right. So now I keep both in the fridge. So if you can't seem to get something to taste the way mom used to make it, try switching out the mayo for MW or vice versa, and see if it makes a difference.

That's funny! I went out to visit my brother a couple years ago and he wanted me to make deviled eggs like my mom used to. (They only use mayo.) I told him I couldn't make it unless I had Miracle Whip and he didn't realize that was the difference. Now he keeps a small jar just for those few things. lol
I prefer MW and Dh prefers mayo. I use both for different things.

Exactly! Each has a unique flavor and different uses. Sometimes the tastes of your childhood, however unsophisticated, are just what you want. I was so delighted when I bit into that first tuna sandwich I made with MW when I finally figured out the difference. The tang in MW is just what the tuna needed. I always have both on hand and will also make my own mayo with olive oil on occasion. Also aioli (garlic mayonnaise) when it's called for. Viva mayonnaise in all it's lovely forms!

My mother always bought Miracle Whip because it cheaper than real mayonnaise, although i think she also both mayo on occasion. However, DW won't hear of it, even though I doubt she's ever tasted it. Best Foods is the only option in our house -- and she buys the LIGHT version, which is OK for the limited amount we use it.
BTW, Best Foods = Hellman's in the western U.S.
