The mayonnaise is likely pasteurized and sealed so as long as you don't open it it should be shelf stable indefinitely - not to mention you don't technically need to refrigerate it short term because it has enough acid in it to keep most bacteria and fungus at bay.

Mustard is predominantly vinegar and salt so it also isn't likely to go bad if kept sealed at room temperature.

Not just that, but because of the eggs used in it's manufacture, mayonnaise tends to spoil very quickly. I believe that mayonnaise has a shelf life of 2-3 months unopened and unrefrigerated. Mayonnaise substitutes that don't use eggs like Just Mayo have longer shelf-lifes. Once it's opened, you have probably about a 1 week unrefrigerated before it goes bad enough that it gets hazardous. However, you could probably eat a 30z jar of mayonnaise by itself and get 3 days worth of calories. You'll hate yourself for doing it, but it will at least keep you alive.

Of course, the best improvised survival rations are alcohol. People used to live off the stuff during the early colonial days, as you could get enough sustenance from rum as with food. 750ml bottle of 80 proof rum and vodka has something like 1600 calories, 100 proof spirits have something like 2000 calories, and Bacardi 151 is something like 121 calories per fluid ounce, making it have something like 3,000 for a .75 liter bottle.

I use mayo on a bunch of stuff recipe-wise and it doesn't go bad nearly as fast as you nancies worry provided you keep it at fridge temp. It's when it's been out in the sun all day that it becomes the Church Picnic Killer

Living off just alcohol (especially near pure stuff like B151) is a really bad idea. Beer is workable for longer because it has calories from things other than alcohol in it and whatever. Back when cholera used to be a common thing from communal water supplies, brewers who typically drank nothing but beer were the only ones safe from it because the process of brewing kills waterborne microbes.

Well yes, but keeping it at fridge temp isn't so easy when you're living out of a bomb shelter. Hence, a dubious choice for doomsday preppers who don't intend to eat the entire jug in short order.

I thought that I had posted a comment about this but didn't realized that I hadn't hit submit. Anyway, what I was going to post was this:

Alcohol also has the added benefit of passing the time. If you're stuck in a bunker for 3-4 months, waiting radioactive fallout to drop off to background radiation or lying low from the NWO, you're going to want something to keep you from going stir crazy.

Of course, I have to amend that, since that's if you were by yourself. With other people, it would likely result in a close-quarters battle where all the participants would be bleeding out in a small room.

This is true, in addition to the fact that the thick and <5% alcoholic beer that people used to drink by the gallon would be unappealing to people nowadays. Monks were famous for being fat drunks with legendary breweries.

That's not to say people haven't tried to live on basically just spirits though. Back in the day the Appalachians used to be an impassable hurdle, taking so long to skirt that any crop would be half rotten by the time it got to the coast. The obvious solution? Distill the corn into whisky and sell that! It keeps forever. Also was the case with apples, and why Johnny Appleseed was much adored.

It used to be standard in Colonial America to have 3 drinks in before 10am. Someone (a lightweight, admittedly) tried to match this and failed
