I think it’s because of Americanized potato salad. The kind with miracle whip and tons of corn syrup. I’ve had mayo based salads like this and it makes me want to puke (as an American lol)
I think this plays with the stereotype that weird eccentric middle aged people like weird/gross food. Sort of like jello salad coincidentally (search it up, it is foul).
lived most of my life in the midwest and southern US, never ever seen anyone put corn syrup in potato salad. doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen, but what the fuck yo
I’m just gonna say it: Potato salad is NOT THAT BAD!
If it’s made by your grandma and with the right ingredients, anyway.
Where is all this hate for potato salad coming from???
The United States. Apparently it’s a very niche thing over there 🤷
