  • It’s mayonnaise that has been thinned with water to lower calorie content.

    No it’s not. It’s a bespoke product for “salads”: macaroni salad, egg salad, potato salad, chicken salad, tuna salad, etc. The water is there to lighten the texture. No one making mac salad or any of the others is counting calories. An example of a similar product is Heinz Salad Cream.

    Mustard powder for texture? There’s more “natural flavor” (probably MSG) than mustard powder in Miracle Whip. It’s for flavor.

















  • Yeah, it looks like you’re right. Not sure what I read years ago. This is what Wikipedia says:

    Mikao Usui originated the practice in Japan. According to the inscription on his memorial stone, Usui taught his system of reiki to more than 2,000 people during his lifetime. While teaching reiki in Fukuyama, Usui suffered a stroke and died on 9 March 1926.

    So, apparently before 1926. Still, really far away from “ancient”.
