Miracle Whip is going after Stephen Colbert, after the Comedy Central star made fun of its "Don't Be So Mayo" ad campaign.
The condiment company has purportedly purchased every commercial during Thursday's "Colbert Report" and taken out an open-letter newspaper ad to Colbert saying "we will dominate the airspace on your show ... we will own you."
This comes after Colbert "pop[ped] open a jar of mayo whup-ass" during his Oct. 15 show.
The Miracle Whip team seems ready to up the ante in this condiment contest.
"With every commercial break, your viewers will be exposed to hardcore Miracle Whip attitude and revelry. You will see our legion of (as you call them) 'mayo nay-sayers' snarfing sandwiches topped with our one-of-a-kind flavor in a very cool and totally hip way," the newspaper ad which appeared in Red Eye says. "They will be in your face and massively dope. It goes without saying, they WILL NOT TONE IT DOWN. And you will begin to see the soft, bland white walls of the mayo empire begin to collapse under the weight of its own whipped-egg pretentiousness."

THEY ARE UPPING THEIR SALES BY EDUCATING THE PUBLIC THAT SALAD DRESSING IS MIRICAL WHIP. MOST PEOPLE ALSO DON'T KNOW THAT MIRICAL WHIP IS OWNED BY KRAT ALSO AND THE LARGEST MAYO SELLER IN THE WORLD. IT JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU HOW MANY LITERALY IGNORANT, DUMB PEOPLE ROAM OUR CITIES.

Once I taste anything with Miracle Whip (potatoe salad, etc.) I never put it on my plate again. If I get a sandwich with MW, because I forget, you can add salt to it to try to counter the sweet taste of it.

Just one thing I have never understood, as a child and even now as an adult. Are they serious labeling Miracle Whip as a salad dressing??? I mean, could they possibly believe that anyone in their right mind would put this stuff on a salad?? Salad dressing? Really?! I mean, how many people out there are pining for the taste of mayonnaise substitute on top of their salads? Anyone? Why in the world would they indicate that this was a salad dressing? Mmmmm, you know what would make this fresh, delicious salad perfect? A nice heaping glop of soybean oil laden wannabe mayo!! Yum! O.K...I'm done.

No bottles of "salad dressing", just good old Miracle Whip, with salt/pepper/garlic powder - basically seasoned to suit the family! And it was pretty darned tasty too!
Don't 'knock it' if you haven't tried it!
And frankly, I personally have NEVER been able to tell the difference between mayo and Miracle Whip! You want GROSS? How about having a sister AND an "ex" husband who used to eat sandwiches made of nothing but a thick layer of mayo! Eewwwwww!!!!

It's more like mayo now. Tho I wrote them, they obviously saw fit not to respond. I guess they figure Colbert is worth spending more time on than me. Anyone else run into the flavor change...or is it a bad lot?

Miracle whip is sooo much better tasing than Mayo----Plus the eggs Mayo is made with.... there has to be a month of colesteral in a single table spoon of mayo.....Can you say clogged arteries......Miracle Whip the only way to go.....except for the snobs with their noses in the air....they'll drown if it starts to rain.....just before the heart attack.
