Not so with this recipe that you're volunteering to make, however.
Sweetened condensed milk is *extremely* sweet. The other thing that seems
very odd is the volume of "liquidy" ingredients (mayo, condensed milk, and
vinegar) in relation to the quantity of macaroni. I can't imagine anyone
really liking this combination.
