Miracle Whip:
Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Vinegar, Modified Food Starch, Sugar,
Soybean Oil (Trivial Source of Fat and Cholesterol), Contains Less
than 2% of Salt, Cellulose Gel, Egg Yolks (Trivial Source of Fat and
Cholesterol), Citric Acid, Artificial Color, Lactic Acid, Xanthan Gum,
Mustard Flour, Cellulose Gum, Spice, Paprika, L-Cysteine, Dried
Garlic, Yellow 6, Natural Flavor, Beta Carotene (Color), Artificial
Flavor, Blue 1, with Potassium Sorbate and Calcium Disodium EDTA as
Preservatives

Kraft Mayonnaise, Real Mayo:
Soybean Oil, Water, Eggs, Egg Yolks, Vinegar, Contains Less than 2% of
Sugar, Salt, Lemon Juice Concentrate, Calcium Disodium EDTA as a
Preservative, Dried Garlic, Dried Onions, Spice, Natural Flavor

Hellmann's Mayonnaise, Real:
Soybean Oil, Water, Whole Eggs and Egg Yolks, Vinegar, Salt, Sugar,
Lemon Juice, Calcium Disodium EDTA (Used to Protect Quality), Natural
Flavors

I'd have expected worse, although "Natural Flavors" is a dubious one.
If they use genetic engineering to make a cow poop avocados and they
add those avocados to the mayo, they can call that a "natural flavor",
because it's avocado. And why do they both add sugar to their mayo?
