Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Is Aioli Mayonnaise? It Is, Right?

Yes! New mailbag!

Yes it is. Sorry Dan.

Barbecue Ketchup is Barbecue Sauce and Mayo

Goddamnit, Dan. You fucking monster. Why do I love you? I hate that you've grown on me. Give me more Mario Parties at Jeff's expense please, you fiend.

I love mailbags so much!

COFFEE TWICE? YOU ARE A FUCKING ADULT. FUCK YOU GODDAMNIT DAN FUCK SHIT!

Dan is the most polarizing figure I've encountered. After every absolutely inane thing he says, i have to remind myself of his love of MGS.

Fuck.

Dan.

Come on, man.

@brad...egg whites? You're better than this. Mayo uses the yolk. I know the air is full of food ignorance over there, but do try to avoid catching it.

Both times were this year. So I was 30 without tasting coffee. I had coffee-flavored Jelly Bellies though.

I don't think they got the joke...

The Dan Experience box...other things he may have missed. Full of super common and beloved items.

Drew always looks so efficient and productive at his standing desk.

Clearly we must celebrate with Mario Party Party 2: Dan gets fired from Giant Bomb edition.

Dude, what? Do a quick google search

Aioli sounds like an Italian dirty word.

Haribo is french.

Can't it be both? Different kinds.

COPS!!!

German.

I hate that I love you.

fuckin' dan hahahaha

Considering aioli is made exactly like mayonnaise but with garlic (an emulsion using egg, olive oil and either vinegar or lemon juice). Technically all aioli is garlic aioli.

Any aioli without garlic in it is mayonnaise with a fancy name to make it more expensive.

So @danryckert check the ingredients of those aioli, if the non garlic in name ones don't have any form of garlic in them it is mayonnaise, no argument.

As a Dane I must say hearing Dan "speaking" danish have easily been the highlight of my week so far. Also thanks to Bo for sending in that box. That was pretty great.

Send your mother the Horseradish Aioli!!!

Laserdick!

@castiel: Thought it was a Bo?

Anyway, as a Dane myself, yes I agree.. 'Laserdick' was probably my highlight (it was 'læskedrik' which translates to 'soft drink'.)

How deep is this rabbit hole?

"This is stupid. You're being stupid."

Seriously though I cannot quite process the notion of never having coffee before you were 30.

Nope. I'll accept mayo made with the whole egg, but not with just the whites. That is some kind of heresy - akin to calling aioli, mayonnaise.

That Dan Ryckert Experience Extravaganza box was a pretty great joke, like damn. Good job Bo.

Definitely a Dan video. We learn that he never had coffee, doesnt know calorie is a unit of heat/energy and was also confused by kilocalorie. Also, Red is a better flavor than Blue. Jeff should have also introduced Mixlr to dan for his trip to Summerslam. Nothing says road trip like a hundred people trying to figure out where you currently are.

YES A MAILBAG

@danryckert Perfectly okay with not having tried coffee or energy drinks. Until this year (I'm 25) I'd never had a Red Bull because I was afraid I'd die/my heart would explode. Coffee just kinda tastes nasty unless you throw a bunch of sweet stuff in there, and then at that point it's just a milkshake.

Why would I be surprised by the fact that Dan's wallpaper is the American flag.

Laser Dick

"I've never tasted energy drinks" is exactly the reason why I send this package.

I thought it would be funny to compile a package of completely mundane (yet tasty) things, just to see if Dan knew about them :D

I hope you enjoy it @danryckert. I sincerely meant it when I wrote that I think you are a fantastic addition to Giant Bomb!

@hollitz said:

Yeah, I know the feeling. After he said that Taco Bell was the best mexican food he had in California I wanted to kill him. But then listening to his story about Jose Canseco and the Iron Sheik I wanted to be his best friend.

Why do you torment me Dan.....

@flaime: Oh man I must be even more tired than I thought I was. Yes you are of course right. It was Bo.

(Sweet) heksehyl is delicious.

When's the Laserdick Quick Look?

As someone that dislikes coffee a great deal, I'm more baffled at people that drink like 3 or 4 giant Dunkin Donuts iced coffees every day. Blech.

Thanks so much!

I've made my own mayo using yolks and it was delicious so yeah, egg yolk checks out.

Brad: "...it's full of egg whites."

Jeff: "So, it's crunchy."

Fantastic.

Dan has provided a whole new avenue for humor on this site, but I don't think anyone should trust his opinion on anything except video games and wrestling.

As a dane it's not quite the same enjoying an icecold soda, after you called it a laserdick. Thanks Dan.

Drew is the only one badass enough to enjoy salmiakki!

the second jeff started talking about a future where you can convert you're callories(energy) to power a car, I immediately thought of a bicycle. yep.

Some good danish pronunciations there Dan!

It's too bad there were no Blade Runner in the box.

... But then again, who does?
