This bottle design is an utter bastard. You simply can’t get the last bits out of there no matter how much you wait or bang or make it cough and splutter to your food.
I’m sure someone has actually designed it that way as opposed to designing it in a way that would be best for the consumer.
Oh yeah I do, like a silicon scraper. But one of those wouldn’t fit into one of those tiny shop mayo squeezer bottles.
The openings on these generic mayo bottles is like 3cm, whereas on the squeezer mayo bottle, it’s like less than one.
But aye, the silicon scrapers “mini-spatulas” are great at scraping anything. Saves me like 5% of loss on with my blender, lol. Also really goot when you’re prepping things for freezing.
I think the standard for squeeze bottles are 3cm. That’s what 99% of ketchup bottles I have ever seen are.
Just measured my Kraft squeeze mayo in my fridge and it’s 3cm.
I use my mini spatulas to clean my ketchup containers
Personally I don’t use enough Mayo to run out before I need to replace the bottle. If I got the same size jar it would be the same thing, I’m not scraping out the last bits of months old mayo either way. Doesn’t sound appealing.
You made me get up to look for a tape measure. Couldn’t find one. 2e coin will have to do.
The Hellmans mayo bottle is definitely not 3cm. The other one is way wider but the Hellmans is barely the size of a 2e coin, a 2e coin not fitting in it and a 2e coin being roughly an inch (25.75cm as opposed to an inch which is 2.54cm)
Look at this
Idk of any inch wide mini spatulas. Could be useful but I’ve not seen any.
My ketchup bottles are also probably closer to 2" than 1"
Oh and I’m not gonna use the bottle I had the coin on, it was on sale but I didn’t like it so I’m just waiting to throw it away.
Also I don’t ever scrape bottles of month old mayo, if I make my own I use it like at least within a week. Even if it’s mixed from mayo and other premade sauces that have long shelf lifes. I just use the bottle as a sort of medium. I make a mix of sauces, because the ketchup isn’t tasty enough, but the mayo ain’t hot enough, and the mustard isn’t sweet enough. So I mix a bit of all in decent relations, then throw in a bit of garlic, spices, jalapeño relish. Then blend and put in the squirter.
Yeah don’t do that multiple times. One or two times isn’t going to kill you but if you did it for years and had pieces of ancient mayo in there that sounds like a health concern.
I’ll go get a new knife if I have to open up a new jar to finish something.
Well then it’s not a terrible solution, sure, but if you’re going through the trouble already, why not use one of
These. They’re practically free, way better shape, easy to wash, and prolly easier to fill given the whole size on those small bastards.
Also making your own mayo / sauces is something I’m kinda used to doing nowadays. I used to think it takes a lot of effort but nah, just mix some mayos/sauces/spices/herbs/garlic, give a tiny blend if there’s hard parts and that’s it. Sometimes I fluff it up by gently adding Turkish yogurt after squeezing it out of the bottle (the yogurt loses consistency if you blend it, so I blend everything else, put it in a squeezer, than lightly mix that with the yoghurt)

Get yourself some long mini spatulas. Amazing for cleaning out jars.

Use for a day or a couple. Then get rid.
Then rinse and repeat.
I don’t need to worry about that because I just refill it from a larger container

Got to clean your containers and not just top them up, lol
