It should be pointed out that none of the commercial cole slaws
mentioned in other posts actually use Miracle Whip, but rather some
industrial variant on a sweetened "boiled dressing". The problem with
Miracle Whip is that it is presented, in sandwich terms, as a fix for an
item that is by no means broke (unless you count a finite shelf life,
costing some money to produce, and the use of eggs in an emulsified
sauce as evidence of brokenness), and what is worse, it cannot really be
made in a home kitchen, but only in an industrial kitchen with a full
chemical supply battery. It is therefore dubious as a member of the
class "Food".

Oh, by the way... did I mention... "Yeeee-uch!!!"

My next topic will be a philibuster on the evils of sweetened iced tea,
to be followed by a week-long series on chili with beans in it...
