Yeah, I'm from the US, and until recently, I thought Miracle Whip was fairly common around the world, but it turns out it's mainly a North American (US & Canada) thing.  I posted something about Miracle Whip online and some people from the UK said they thought it sounded like it could be whipped cream or something (with some commenting they thought it would be common for Americans to put whipped cream on anything, which isn't true)..

For those unfamiliar, Miracle Whip is made by Kraft Foods and is very similar to mayonnaise, but it has a sweeter taste:

I usually use it on sandwiches (like mayonnaise) and in tuna salad.  And apparently there are a lot of people in the US who don't like Miracle Whip (which was also news to me; I didn't realize it was such a disliked condiment).
