Here Comes Honey Boo Boo is fartin' its way back to your boob tube Jan 6., with a series of "Holladay" (get it?) specials. First up? Halloween. And what's scarier than...mayonnaise?

At least to matriarch June Thompson. But don't worry: "This is going to sound weird, but I do eat potato salad. I will eat like a tuna fish salad," Mama June reveals in this sneak peek (P.S. girl, did you get a dye job?! Those blonde locks are lookin' fierce). "But I will not eat it if I made it."

For the record, June's trauma is a simple case of post-traumatic mayonnaise disorder that dates back to her youth. Also, for the record, "marannaise is something you put on a sammich" (their pronunciation). It may or may not be vegetarian (jury's still out). It's basically "ketchup, but it's white." And it makes June's flesh crawl.

TLC

It's all very much like that one girl on that one show who also had a phobia of mayonnaise but is also probably the best Hitchcock tribute of the year (sorry Hitchcock). Just watch Alana Thompson (aka Ms. Boo herself) fill an entire bowl full of mayonnaise while Psycho-esque music plays in the background. Genius!

"Time to get mama," Honey coos manically, her hands coated in mayonnaise, before presenting the aforementioned bowl full of mayonnaise to Mama, who described the anxiety she felt in terminology that might also indicate she was having a heart attack (we're not positive, somebody WebMD it).

And if you're wondering, Honey Boo Boo is not afraid of mayonnaise. Maybe just the world running out of mayonnaise. Because she ate it all.
