I have both. I use Mayo for most things. The only time I use Miracle Whip is when making potato salad. I always use Miracle Whip in my potato salad.

I definitely use Mayonnaise! Currently, however, I try not to use it very often because I'm watching my fat & calorie intake. Isn't that fun?! Anyway, the only thing I ever use Miracle Whip for is a salad casserole recipe that I make sometimes. My mom makes it & that is where I got it from. Otherwise, I never ever use Miracle Whip... yuck! I do however have regular & fat-free mayo in my fridge currently. If I do use mayonnaise I use the fat-free of course! My husband uses the regular because he is skinny & never seems to gain any weight... grrr! My 13 year old son however thinks that mayonnaise of any kind is absolutely disgusting & he never ever uses it on anything whatsoever.

Until a few years ago, I preferred mayonaise (Hellman's to be specific). I now prefer Miacle Whip. I love it's tanginess. It provides alot of taste to my tuna salad. I also use it in potato salad and macaroni salad.

I use both as well. They go great with canned tuna or chicken and make a really good salad topping. Sandwitches taste better with Miracle Whip and Mayo is good with tuna. I just find that Miracle Whip has more of a bite to it in taste.

I use both for just about everything. Pretty much whatever I make that needs mayo, I'll use some of each. I even put mayo on one side and miracle whip on the other when I'm making a sandwich. I like the sweet taste of miracle whip, but it can be too sweet if that's all you use.

I actually have never really liked either of them. Miracle Whip is too tangy and strange-textured for me. The only thing I ever used mayo for was cole slaw and tuna salad but I don't make those anymore.

I have both, but the mayo is used in recipes when called for and the salad dressing is used by everyone on their sandwiches and stuff like that.

Miracle Whip is in my fridge. I am flexible. Sometimes I get Mayo for a recipe.
