"now you got me wondering why "sand" "witches" are called that?"
An 18th century Earl of Sandwich was such a devotee of the gambling tables that he would ask for his meat between pieces of bread so he could eat it while still at the gambling table.

ETA from above link
"It was named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich (1718 - 1792) .... It is said that Lord Sandwich was fond of this form of food because it allowed him to continue playing cards, particularly cribbage, while eating without getting his cards greasy from eating meat with his bare hands.
Of course, Lord Sandwich HATED Miracle Whip; he preferred hand-whisked mayonnaise but accepted Hellmann's."

Holy crap. Now not EVERYONE could have known that. Must have missed that history lesson in school. How interesting.
And Connie, don't give me any ideas, I prefer life.
It's funny though, we've been together forever and I knew before we were married, well he made it perfectly clear, that mayonnaise had to be Miracle Whip, he wouldn't eat the other stuff.
And hey, I didn't read anywhere that Mr. Earl liked the mayo. Being from that era, I'll bet (gambler, card player, ha ha) that he preferred whips.

It was originally Mahonnaise, the spelling mayonnaise was a printing error.
Miracle Whip was introduced at the Chicago world fair in 1933.
I didn't know either one of these!
AND, speaking of the king of commercial mayo :
In 1910, Nina Hellman, a German immigrant from New York City, made a dressing that her husband, Richard Hellman, used on the sandwiches and salads he served in his New York delicatessen. .... {and} in 1912 built a manufacturing plant. Also Best Foods, Inc. in California did the same. Hellman and Best Foods later merged and account for about 45% of all bottled mayonnaise sol{d} in the United States.
