Yanno, sometimes when I’m surfing around Ask Reddit, I’ll come across poignant inquiries into real social issues that make me think twice about everything.
And then there’s this stuff:
You are allowed to replace any substance with mayo. What do you pick to cause the most chaos?
byu/Phrenic436 inAskReddit
Agents of chaos, do your thing.
1. Silicon
This hits weirdly close to home for me. For a long time my friends and I have measured steam games in “sandwich sterling”.
Which is how many sandwiches you could have bought with the same money. We use it as a comparison of enjoyment. Would I have rather bought two sandwiches and enjoyed them or this one game and enjoyed it? That kind of thing.
Anyway, this would make that literal which made me smile.

2. Gasoline
No plastic, tires, shingles, no transportation, literally f**k everything over.
– 44Skull44
3. Hydrogen
I.. uh… You ended earth dude
– DarkestPassenger
4. Concrete
There would be a tremendous GLOSH and many people would immediately drown and get banged around by building materials and furniture in the gloppy mayo madness.
– OrgeGeorwell
5. Sperm from a sperm bank
Finally! People won’t give me dirty looks when I walk into a sperm bank with a loaf of bread and ham.

6. Shower water
I like it – a bunch of scientists are going to embark on a quest to figure out why it’s just shower water that transforms.
Is it mayo in the pipes? It does it transform in the shower head? What about garden hoses held above your head in a shower-like fashion?

7. Currency
In that case, I’m in possession of a lot of counterfeit
– osurwport
8. Instruments
No Patrick, mayonnaise is not an instrument
– Pheonyxxx696
9. Nitrogen or gold
Gold would make lots of rich people mad, nitrogen would just kill us all
– LordOfTheCats64
10. Ketchup
Utah has this incredible thing called fry sauce that is one part mayo, one part ketchup, and then some spices. We eat that s**t on everything.
You would single handedly destroy our entire culture. I promise.
There is no fry sauce anymore. Just seasoned ketchup. Our state would go into immediate lockdown until science could explain what happened.
– real_donald_pump
11. Gorilla Glue
That tic-tock lady’s hair would be soo moisturized.
– SinisterStrat
12. Glass
Pedestrians on city sidewalks would be blessed by mayo descending from the heavens and every car would be a Jeep
– sW0NT0N
13. Egg free Mayo
The vegans must now stop eating mayo
– TimeToF**kPigeons
14. Thermal paste
Computers everywhere experience overheating and/or come grinding to a screeching halt.
These days I bet that’s the most chaos per volume of replaced substance.
– InsidiousTroll
15. Sand
Every window, screen and windshield turned to Mayo in an instant.
Almost all electronics become unusable, concrete buildings falling to the ground, and the beaches, oh god the beaches.
Let alone the mayhem under the sea! It’s perfect!
– Titan7856
16. Clothing
roses are red, violets are blue, i’ve turned clothing into mayonnaise, just to mess with you 🙂
– VixieFoxMC
17. The electron
Mayo contains electrons.
Mayo-ception.
– Morphized
18. Coffee
All liquid coffee is now coffee-flavoured mayo.
– JudgeJudyApproved
19. Diamonds
And set construction work back by a few hundred years.
– DoctorVanSolem
20. Plutonium 239
Would cause a massive international crisis..
– VY_Cannabis_Majoris
21. Money
Watch every government fall overnight, all hail the mayo lord.
– Brudy123
22. Sand (again)
Mayo beaches
Mayo volleyball courts
Children playing in Mayo boxes
But mainly, Mayo in all concrete- that’s a lot of chaos!
Bonus for Reddit: Pocket Mayo.
– MudIsland
23. Carbon
The whole planet would collapse under your feet and your body would turn to mayo
– Advance-Vegetable
24. Water
All water on earth is now mayo.
So now it rains mayo, we have mayo oceans, and we die because our body is mostly water.
Therefore, we would be mayo.
– Coolscee_Gaming
25. Granite
Imagine you are just chilling but the the floor gives way to a crust that has been mayo-ed
– I_Am_Shotgun273
26. Vanilla icing
Society would collapse within minutes
– lildanta
27. Concrete
There would be a tremendous GLOSH and many people would immediately drown and get banged around by building materials and furniture in the gloppy mayo madness.
– OrgeGeorwell
28. Soap
I’m gunna puke just thinking of that.
Everything everywhere would be so f**king greasy
– Aliencj
29. Water (Again)
Imagine the snow, or Antarctica.
The inuits would live inside mayo.
– xxgiiinaaxx
30. Mayo itself
Probably mayo, especially if everyone is anticipating the change.
The change would have happened, but no one would notice, so every time anyone opens anything they have to low-key expect mayo.
Paranoia will reign supreme as I watch the world spiral into chaos.
– SorrowAndSuffering
31. Vanilla icing
Society would collapse within minutes
– lildanta
32. Concrete
There would be a tremendous GLOSH and many people would immediately drown and get banged around by building materials and furniture in the gloppy mayo madness.
– OrgeGeorwell
33. Soap
I’m gunna puke just thinking of that. Everything everywhere would be so f**king greasy
– Aliencj
34. Water
Imagine the snow, or Antarctica, the inuits would live inside mayo
– xxgiiinaaxx
35. Blood
But only the blood that is outside of a body.
So, as soon as it leaves the body, it’s suddenly mayo. Imagine frantic scientists and doctors trying to explain that and ensuing panic of most people.
Then, cannibalism.
– Cyanide_Kitty_101
36. Magic spells
Somewhat unrelated, but dungeons and dragons has a magic item that can spawn various liquids.
Things like oil and acid, but for some inexplicable reason – Mayo.
I really want to hear the tales of all the heroes that saved the day with their never ending supply of Mayo.
– coniferous-1
37. Body hair
All that peach fuzz just a thin layer of mayo slime.
Now would it be there permanently or could you wipe it off? Or would it ‘regrow’ in place of hairs
– pangeanpterodactyl
38. The sun
The mass will be there, and assuming this replacement doesn’t get rid of all the stored thermal energy you’ll have enough energy to at least support hydrogen fusion in the core, however mayo consists of a lot of organic compounds.
These compounds would quickly break up in the core, and the hydrogen would likely able to fuse, but the carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen will all be inert.
This will significantly shorten the stars lifespan, as this extremely large core of inert materials will form a dead core and push the star into its dying phases.
– danfay222
39. The Earth’s core
I really wonder what would happen if this actually happened.
All that mayo is just going disintegrate from the rest of the mantle and heat, leaving a large cavity of the earth empty.
Would the entire world collapse because of mayo?
– LukeTheDieHardLeafer
40. Holy water
Priests just slinging mayo in the face of patrons would be hilarious.
Totally South Park worthy.
– Derick_Ruhl
41. Poop
I feel like someone’s already running the beta on this now with Birds.
– Wallstreet_Remora
42. Milk
no more baked things or chocolate or ice cream… There would be riots immediately.
– 24-Hour-Hate

Dude, I need my fix of Hellmans, where is it?
– UnsorryCanadian
44. Tabacco
Mmmm, white creamy crap in your cigarette will help me and millions of others quit.
– SewerSleuth74
45. Pizza sauce
This might be the most delicious answer yet!
– MikeMazook
46. Steel
A ton of skyscrapers and other buildings would just fall down
– PostHereIsMadeOfPost
47. My ex girlfriend
It wouldn’t cause chaos, but I will gladly miss the point of this thread if it means that I can turn that bitch into mayonnaise
– Foreign_Crazy3582
48. Ketchup
Now you don’t know what the h**l to do, do you?
Fries with mayo and mayo?
– poncicle
49. Mayonnaise jars
It wouldn’t probably create lots of mayhem but the thought of it is slightly funny to me.
– Blightborne_
50. Marshmallow puff
Hear me out, only transform the inside of the Marshmallow to Mayo.
A bit more of a surprise for people
– EpicIzAwesom
51. All ink used to make the letter E
It would at least throw English-speaking countries into confusion, and create conspiracy theories and cults for decades to come.
– Exia_Gundam00
52. Every radioactive substance in Chernobyl
Maybe the radiation will go down much faster there 2.
For a hot minute, people will think some dude just n**ted all over the place
– michae1031
53. The US Presidents

– dekuscrubber
Alright, that’s enough internet for today.
What would you choose, and why?
Be weird about it in the comments.
