Real mayo doesn't have sugar. Just looked at a jar of Hellman's and while sugar is an ingredient it's way down on the ingredient list and rounded down to 0g per Tbsp (15 ml). What does have sugar are viler-than-commercial-mayo imitations such as Kraft Miracle Whip (apparently was first offered as a cheap, Depression-era substitute) and it's probably not even sugar but more HFCS at that). 1g per same TBSP/15ml measure. Less oil too.
