Fun fact: Xanthines such as caffeine don't stimulate you by binding to receptors directly, rather acting as an antagonist to adenosine to relive tiredness. Think of a scale tipping to one side because weight on the other is taken off, rather than weight added on.

I really don't understand how people think mayo by itself is any good. It's better when paired with other ingredients, like in a sandwich or a baked dish, where it isn't the main or only flavour

I don't understand Japan's obsession over it either. They even just recently released a limited time drink that's mayo flavored 🤢

Japanese mayo (Kewpie) is honestly pretty dang good on its own (obviously not in that HUGE amount at the end there but yeah), I used to take dollops of kewpie mayo on my finger and just eat them on its own a lot

American mayo is just not it.

Funny of you to say that when Mayonnaise is a modern era condiment with oldest mayonnaise like recipe being from around 1740s-1750s and the word mayonnaise first recorded appearance in 1806.

Sure, but there are lots of condiments that date back to the first century AD, even with fairly complex production methods like garum/liquamen. Apicius has a whole section on condiments. Mayonnaise might be a modern invention, but Pliny attests to aioli! Some of these were obviously out of reach to commoners because of cultural and economic barriers, but I do find this endless trope of "faux-medieval fantasy food BLAND and BAD, modern Japanese food AMAZING and FLAVORFUL" to be both amusing and tiresome. I get that its a way for characters to seem smart and inventive without the author having to delve into the historiography of food, but I think it's a bit insulting to the "natives" that their food culture is always woefully underdeveloped, as though they've had zero interest in improving their lot in life until an outsider points at the obvious for them.

Why did he concerned himself for this stuffs? Just implement full Free market Capitalism. Focus on utilities, roads and other vital infrastructures. Create central banks and federal reserves so you can just print money

I get that mayo is different between japan and america, so it's just a cultural gap making the thought of eating it plain kinda gross, like i understand and accept that it's considered perfectly okay within the right context, but it always gets me in these isekai stories where native characters try some & go "HOLY SHIT BEST THING EVER" when they're able to eat fuckin dragon testes or whatever the hell that we can't even imagine. like sure, a peasant is probably gonna think it's insanely good compared to their usual fare of dirt porridge and beans, but you can't introduce a (non-peasant) character who regularly eats normal food of decent quality to fucking fried chicken (loaded with spices!) of all things at the same time & honestly expect me to believe they prefer the mysterious egg & vinegar cum goo to the point of downing the whole jar like it's a can of soda, lol. but it just keeps happening in so many series for some reason!
