They've lied sort of, it's only qualification is it has to have garlic but also what added flavouring doesn't have garlic ? It doesn't seem to be a dominating flavour by any means in a number of "aioli's".

Wikipedia dishing out the truth:

    Since the late 1980s, it has become fashionable to call all flavored mayonnaises "aioli", with flavorings such as saffron or chili.[7] However, purists insist that "flavored mayonnaise can contain garlic, but true aioli contains no seasoning but garlic".[8]

Aioli here is basically garlic sauce. Not just 'oh, there is a hint of garlic in there', no, there should be 'my bad breath can kill a nation' amounts of garlic.

I love it. But I also combine it with Doritos, so maybe my culinary authority isn't worth much.

Doritos with garlic mayo. I am both revulsed and interested.

It's weird, and you really don't want to overdo the aioli, but it is greasy and very unhealthy so my brain loves it.
