Studio: two mirrors, two flashlights, one bottle of Mayo, tripod, 2 second exposure, f8
Credit to John Fraser of Cannon Beach, Oregon who first thought up this dumb joke in the early 1990's when he placed five large jars of Mayo down the mainstreet of our village on early morning May 5th. Most people didn't get it.

The pun made me roll my eyes, but I do like your creative lighting a lot.
However, the mirror reversed label on the right is driving me nuts. If this photo involves a mirror, I can't figure WHERE it is!
When I first looked at this I thought it was 5 jars of Mayo. Then I noticed that one jar had the writing in reverse. There must be a mirror involved. But I don't see a mirror. The jar on the left looks like a reflection of the jar in the front, but the lighting is wrong. Now I'm sitting here stewing about how this was done. After this challenge is over, I want your notes, diagrams, camera settings, lighting setup, everything! In return, I'm giving you a "10" Absolutely aMAYOsing!
I like the reflection of Mayonnaise in the mirrors. Cool idea. It would be nicer if the reflection was more in focus, and a little better spacing in the reflections. 8
the mirror image catches the eye, and i'm frankly not sure if i like it or not. the mirroring also provides a fairly interesting lighting effect, but again, there's something that feels "wrong" about the arrangement.
