A Philadelphia sportscaster has united the internet in disgust after revealing he once drank coffee with mayonnaise in it — on purpose.
Jim Salisbury, who reports on Phillies baseball for CSN Philly, shared the odd drink mix on Twitter on Wednesday, and the backlash was swift.
Others began chiming in to share their horror and disgust, with not a single person coming to Jim’s defense.
But why? Jim Salisbury of Philadelphia has left the internet disgusted after saying he once put mayo in his coffee
Background: He was replying to a tweet asking if it was OK to substitute cottage cheese for milk when making macaroni and cheese
In total agreement: Every reply voiced disgust over the decision
Jim was replying to a tweet by a user who goes by @_SonOfADeitch, who was speculating on his own food substitution options.
‘I’m out of milk & I’m making boxed Mac & cheese,’ he wrote. ‘Can I substitute cottage cheese for the milk?’
He included a poll, in which most people voted that no, he could not. Jim, however, seemed to have no problem with strange substitutions, and offered up an even more unconventional one of his own.
‘I once used mayo in coffee when out of half and half. not half bad,’ he wrote simply, indicating that he made the choice on purpose and didn’t mistake the mayo for cream.
Speechless: Several posted gifs to illustrate their feelings on the matter
Seriously?! Most were shocked by his comment that the combination was ‘not half bad’
Mayo is not creamer: People seemed to think he should have just had the coffee black
Not OK: Twitter seemed pretty set on this being a bad, bad idea
@_SonOfADeitch replied quickly: ‘Jesus Christ that sounds insane.’
Others chimed in with simple words of disbelief, like ‘dude’, ‘bruh’, ‘dear lord’, ‘wtf’ and ‘Jim no.’
Others uses gifs and memes to voice their disgust, using Kanye West, SNL’s Leslie Jones, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’s Titus Andromedon, and Seth Myers to convey what they could not with words.
‘Doing it is bad, telling someone is so much worse,’ wrote one person. ‘Jim, I LIKE mayo and that’s completely offensive,’ added another.
Just no: Most got right to the point voicing their disbelief, including the original tweeter
Sketchy: Mayo is made with oil, egg yolks, and either lemon juice or vinegar
Another recipe: Some people swear by putting butter in their coffee
Another option: The Vietnamese have a drink called egg coffee with egg yolks, condensed milk, and sugar
‘That’s the most diabolical thing I’ve ever heard of,’ weighed in someone else.
Jim, though, seems quite OK with his unconventional choice and hasn’t bothered to defend himself.
While the pairing seems odd, the ingredients in mayonnaise (and some similar to them) have turned up in other coffee drinks around the world.
Though mayo is traditionally made with oil, some people swear by putting butter in their coffee. Mayo also has egg yolks in it — similar to a Vietnamese drink called egg coffee, which is made with egg yolks, sugar, and condensed milk. And coffee lemonade has also popped up at shops in Europe and the US.
