1.3L "family size"... Family size what? Pool?
Yes. Mayo is a key ingredient in so many picnic dishes. Dishes that people regularly prep for BIG family gatherings where everyone brings home leftovers. Potato salad, coleslaw, and pasta salads made by the gallon. Sure, some people eat way too much, but sharing and sharing big is kind of the whole point. If someone shared food with you in a park, you're family now and will be expected to bring your weight in your other family's traditional recipe of something next time.
Sauces, too. You want a fat as a base in many of them, and mayo is a pretty good way to get it.
When I worked in foodservice, we bought it by the gallon. People would ask for it as a dressing on their salads. Gross.
Typical South Eastern US.
