Minus Sauce

This is from my local supermarket. When did mayonnaise breed into so many different kinds of mayonnaise?  I just wanted mayo.  I couldn't find just Hellmann's mayo.  There were just these different, non-basic choices.  So I chose Canola, which doesn't taste like the regular mayo.  You'd think they'd leave at least one called "Classic" like Coke did when they stupidly or brilliantly changed the formula and people became outraged.  Personally I think it was a marketing move.  A very smart, but expensive one.

And another thing about mayonnaise. Pre- and post-war Koreans used certain terms for items.  For example, Let's go to mongomerry.  Translation: Let's go to Montgomery's (for those young'uns out there, that's like a Target without the supermarket part).  Or bahbarrie coat.  For years I knew that the Korean word for trench coat was bahbarrie.  But it didn't dawn on me until much later that bahbarrie was Burberry. 

So this brings me to mayonnaise which has a great name:  minus sauce.  I have no idea how mayonnaise became minus sauce.  My guess is that it was lost in translation.  Either way, it's a great word for a product which seems to be no longer carried in my supermarket.
