The Friday File: The most popular condiment in the US is mayonnaise, and by a wide margin. Last year mayo sales totaled $2 billion. Ketchup was a distant second at $800 million, followed by soy sauce at $725 million, barbecue sauce at $660 million and hot sauce at $550 million and rising rapidly. A key part of mayonnaise’s success; almost $600 million in sales of low-fat (healthy?) mayo!
