It’s a mayo substitute that delis use for tuna and chicken salad. It is actually labelled “salad dressing” because of this use.
Mayo has a notoriously short life out of refrigeration before it becomes literally deadly. People die at summer picnics and family reunions every year from food-poisoning from spoiled potato salad and such. So delis use it because they can make up a giant batch in the morning, and keep it on display in the deli case under moderate refrigeration all day, without it going bad, and murdering their customers, which is so bad for business.
Unfortunately, it also has an unpleasant metallic taste that some people can ignore. I can’t, any more than I can ignore the taste of Diet Coke.
What is this Miracle whip?
Fake whipped cream mixed with fake mayonnaise. It’s absolutely vile.

It’s also more sweetened whereas mayo is more fat. I grew up on miracle whip but my adult palate would prefer mayo
Enjoy the tangy zip of Miracle Whip!
…OR DIE!
It is to mayonnaise like margarine is to butter. An inferior imposter.
