Interesting. I, too, grew up with Miracle Whip. Indeed, I was a
not-so-young adult before I realized that it isn't mayonnaise (which
is what my family called it) -- simply never thought about the
possibility that there was actually something else. 'Course we
lived in the sticks, one of the myriad hollows in the northern
panhandle of WEST-by-gawd-Virginia.

I'm surprised that you find it sweet. To this day, I still prefer
it to mayonnaise because, to my palate, it has a tang that's lacking
in mayonnaise (which I find bland). To me, Miracle Whip has almost a
tartness that I like. I'm speaking of store-bought and/or restaurant
mayonnaise, here. Don't know that I've ever tried home-made.
