So do I. It's the PA Dutch influence. Or my mom's French Huguenot heritage. Slaw/potato salad/egg salad/macaroni salad--mayo, sugar and vinegar. Tomato sauce--I don't know what that influence that is, but IMO tomato sauce needs a little sugar to cut the acid. It "makes" the sauce.
I don't think it's the lack of sugar that makes Dukes taste better. You can't even detect the taste of the sugar in Hellmans. Dukes is just a great taste. And I was a lifelong Hellmans fan.
Miracle Whip is salad dressing, but Hellmans is mayo, and good. Dukes just edges it out a bit with a je ne sais quoi element. Only my opinion, though.
