When I first made home-made mayo I didn't like it as much as store-bought
(Hellmann's). After using my home-made mayo for a few batches (cause I'm
stubborn and wanted to use home-made) I tried some Hellmann's and thought it
was flavorless. Maybe it's an acquired taste.

I find that a lot of mayo recipes have a fairly strong taste when compared
to store-bought. If you cut back a little on the citrus/vinegar and mustard
in a most mayo recipes they will have a taste closer to Hellmann's.
