I started eating at a new sub shop and they don’t have light (low fat) mayo. Do any restaurants (arbys, burger king KFC ect) have light mayo packets? I will buy something then grab a handful of packets and use them on my subs. ---

I will buy something then grab a handful of packets and use them on my subs. Maybe you could ask the new sub place to start carrying light mayo. In the meantime you could spend the $3 on a jar of it at your local supermarket. An entire jar should last a few sandwiches. A bit more expensive than your master plan, but,..uh…dude! Really? You’re Jonesing for light mayo packs? Get a job and a life.:rolleyes: ---

In my experience, it is an individual franchise thing. There is no way to be sure that the Sonic in my town, which gives out light mayonnaise packets, will give them out in your town. You’ll have to shop around or ask. And while a jar might be impractical, you may be able to find a box of packets to use instead. I also see absolutely no claim in the OP that he will be pilfering mayo packets. He’s going to be buying something from the second store to get those packets, and he’ll be doing it on a daily basis. He’s actually spending much more than the mayo packets are worth. ---

If you can’t find any light mayonnaise packets in any restaurants or in any supermarkets, you can order them online. I found a couple of sources by searching on “light mayonnaise” and “packets”. They’ll cost less than twenty cents each if you order a large quantity. This will cost you less time and money than if you go around to a lot of restaurants looking for light mayonnaise. ---

> [@matt357](#): > > unless you prefer me to bring a large mayo jar with me to work. WTF is so hard about bringing a small [Squeez bottle](http://www.unilever.com/images/Hellmans-LightMayonaise430ml450x450_tcm13-290450.jpg) of mayo to work? The store brands are $1.79, name brands $3.48. ---

I would assume about as hard as understanding that the OP doesn’t want to bring a bottle of mayo to work. ---

I was (begrudgingly) at Chik Fil A the other day and they have light mayo packets. I noticed because I couldn’t find the regular mayo packets - turns out they were in the packets labeled “Chik Fil A Mayo” not “Hellmann’s”. ---

Subway (at least by me) have light mayo packets, too. In fact, I’m not entirely sure if they have regular mayo packets at all. When my boss orders a party tray of subs, we get handed a bag of light mayo packets and mustard packets with the tray. I don’t think we specify. ---

I have not ever been given a mayo packet I was unable to lift, so yes, many stores. However, none of the packets have ever moved at approximately 186,000 miles per second, so no, no stores. ---
