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!

Nice lighting effect. Good, rich color. Fun title.

Nice pun. I like the lighting for this one - gives it much more depth and visual impact than brighter lighting would have given.

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.

A 3 for the title, but the lighting could be improved substantially.
