Consumer advocacy group Choice has conducted a comprehensive taste test of 29 store-bought mayonnaises, revealing that the cheapest option is also the best tasting. Aldi's Colway Real Mayonnaise and Woolworths Whole Egg Mayonnaise both achieved an 80% score, making them joint winners. Colway Real Mayonnaise costs $2.79 per jar or 61c per 100g, while Woolworths Whole Egg Mayonnaise is slightly more expensive at $2.80 per bottle or 64c per 100g. Judges praised Colway for its 'mild' and 'pleasant' aroma, 'traditional mayonnaise appearance', and 'creamy, smooth texture with balanced citrus acidity, subtle sweetness, mustard and whole-egg flavour'. Woolworths was commended for its 'good shape retention' and 'balanced flavour with pleasant vinegar acidity, sweetness, oil and mustard'. The silver medal went to Aldi's Colway Authentic Mayonnaise with a 77% score, noted for its 'homogeneous texture with a balanced flavour of mustard, vinegar and fat'. The worst-ranked product was Coles 97% Fat Free Mayonnaise, scoring 47% due to its 'translucent, pale appearance' and 'thick, gummy, glue-like consistency', with a sugar content of 18.9g per 100g - double that of most other products. Choice's judges, including food consultant Brigid Treloar, assessed products for appearance, smell, texture, and flavour balance. They noted that 27 of the 29 mayonnaises contained sugar, which is not traditional in French-style mayonnaise. Kewpie scored 67%, with a more 'savoury' profile and higher egg content (9.5% yolk), while Hellmann's Plant Based Mayo (77%) was the top-rated vegan option. Treloar described the taste test as one of the 'most gruelling' she has done, with 29 mayonnaises to assess. The test highlights how cost-cutting measures can affect product quality, with some manufacturers using thickening agents to achieve desired textures. The findings provide valuable insights for consumers seeking both affordability and quality in their mayonnaise choices.

The article critiques the growing dominance of SUVs in the automotive market, arguing that traditional family cars are being overshadowed by these larger vehicles. The author, Coco Khan, describes the frustration of searching for a compact, practical family car, only to find that options are limited to SUVs, which have become the default choice for many consumers. The piece highlights how SUVs, despite their popularity, contribute to urban challenges such as reduced parking space, increased road congestion, and safety concerns for pedestrians and children. It also touches on the psychological impact of owning an SUV, where drivers may feel the need to 'arm themselves' against perceived threats from other vehicles. The author questions the illusion of consumer choice and the influence of marketing that frames SUVs as safe, family-friendly options. However, the article notes that SUVs are statistically more dangerous in accidents involving children due to their height and design. Ultimately, the piece calls for a reevaluation of automotive priorities, advocating for smaller, more practical vehicles that better serve everyday family needs.
