Not really, since Sauer's (formerly manufacturer of Duke's) got bought out and the big spice factory on Broad St. was shut down, I don't see a spit's worth of difference between the two. I've taken to making my own mayonnaise. Without soybean oil. Btw, Duke's advertises on TV that they're still the same as they were in nineteen-aught-something, but that's hogwash, and besides they didn't even use soybeans for human consumption back then except in East Asia. I used to live around the block from that spice factory, btw, on the two-thousand block of Monument Ave., and always enjoyed the interesting smells - you could always tell right off what spice they were working on that week.
Sacrilege! Heresy!
Clearly Duke's is the better!
Agreed that soybean oil, and calcium disodium EDTA lessen the experience, though. I'll bet the soybean oil is in there because of some farm subsidy skewing the market. Kinda like corn-syrup in soft-drinks. Today, if you want the genuine version of that all-American beverage, Coca-Cola, you gotta get it from Mexico for it to have real sugar and no corn-syrup.
