A Memphis Redbirds fan snacked on a giant jug of mayo and I have so many questions

Nothing beats a nice snack at a baseball game. I usually go for a hot dog. Maybe some nachos if I'm pretty hungry because those are always delicious.

I do not like mayonnaise. Keep it away from my sandwiches. I do understand that plenty of people love it as a condiment. That's weird to me! But I get it.

That being said, I do not understand eating a giant jug of mayo and only a giant jug of mayo. This seems like it should be a common, shared thought, right? Tell that to this one fan at the Memphis Redbirds game on Saturday.

... I am so confused.

It didn't get any less troubling when the fan continued to snack on the same jug of mayo through the middle innings.

It’s the 5th inning.

He’s been mowing that down for 91 minutes.

I have no idea where to start.

Did he lose a bet? Is this some weird new dietary craze? Did he eat some spicy food and has been trying to cool off his mouth for hours? Does he just really love mayo? Or is he an undercover plant by Big Mayo determined to increase their marketing in the strangest conceivable way?

I don't know. I may never know. Honestly, it's probably best that it stays that way.
