    dude, i'm brazilian, and in brazil (at least in my state) every burguer shop does it own mayo, is there a huge burguer and mayo culture in brazil. If a burguer shop don't make it own mayo, you can be sure that this place not gonna exist in matter of weeks. In fact, there is a hole culture of making mayo, and compare the spices and condiments(for exemple with chimichuri, garlic, "green mayo is very popular aswell).
