Again...Why. Why, God.

Why did these companies do this?



The degree of mental illness required to generate this idea is so far beyond my ability to understand that it actually makes me feel more human.

Pear halves with mayonnaise are a staple of potluck church suppers!

You're kidding, people really eat that?


What does it taste like?

Um... it's been a long time since I've eaten one. As best I can remember, it really just tasted like pear and mayonnaise. I guess the mayo gives a nice salty, creamy counterpoint, or something. There's often some grated cheese on top too.

T'aint no kidding involved!

Actually. *cough* I really like canned pears with a blob of mayo on them, and a handful of grated cheddar cheese. Really. The three flavors do neat things together.

BLAH.

But it just goes to show. Taste is subjective.

OMG, I love spaghetti with soy sauce too :O In fact, that's exactly what I'm having today. Then again, I skip the butter.

What's worse is that there are recipes for it, as though Put some mayonnaise in a pear half weren't self-explanatory.

There's apparently this whole network of women who inform each other of new tampon innovations, or strange things to do with mayonnaise and olives, and someone forgot to invite me. I feel kind of sad now.

Talk about fancy! That woman's ritzy well-to-do family gets to eat a WHOLE PEAR with mayo and...begonia leaves?... for dinner! She's spoiling them.

Miracle Whip on anything makes me queasy, but filling a pear with a big glob of it takes nausea to a new level.
