#TRENDING 8/29/25: America's Most Loved Condiment Isn't Ketchup or Mustard

Labor Day Poll: America's Most Loved Condiment Isn't Ketchup or Mustard

 

Labor Day weekend marks the unofficial end of summer, so a lot of us are firing up the grill one last time.

  

A new poll just in time for it looked at the most loved condiments in America. And the one we love the MOST isn't ketchup or mustard.

  

They asked 7,000 people about the four big ones you'd most likely be putting on your hot dog or burger:  ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and relish. And the one we "love" the most is MAYONNAISE.

  

30% of Americans love mayo . . . 29% love ketchup . . . 25% love mustard . . . and just 13% of us love relish.

  

If you include people who just "like" them, then ketchup reigns supreme. 85% of us like or love ketchup . . . mayo, 80% . . . mustard, 78% . . . and relish, 58%.

  

Relish is most hated of the group. Around one in seven people (14%) can't stand it. Only 4% of us hate ketchup, but it's a passionate 4%.  (Many of those folks are in the Chicago area.)
