I tried 7 different mayonnaises to find the best one. I'm shocked the cheapest condiment beat my usual favorite.

I compared different varieties of mayonnaise from Kraft, Kewpie, Mike's, Giant, Duke's, and Hellmann's to find the best one.

Mayonnaise is a popular condiment that can add flavor to a range of bites, from a deli sandwich to a potato salad.Some mayo lovers have a favorite brand and rarely deviate from their product of choice, while others like to experiment with a range of varieties. My preference falls in the former category.I'm a creature of habit when it comes to buying mayonnaise and condiments in general. Hellmann's mayo is a staple in my fridge, and I put it on everything from BLTs to chicken-salad sandwiches.However, I was curious whether there might be a new favorite mayonnaise out there just waiting to be found. So, I grabbed seven different varieties of mayo and tried each on its own and in homemade chicken salad.Here's how I'd rank them, from my least favorite to my top pick.

7. Kewpie had a unique flavor, but it's not a favorite for me.

Kewpie mayonnaise is popular in Japan.
