Why are ketchup packets so small?
I mean, really. Why? One ketchup packet handles two french fries, maybe three. If I'm at McDonald's I have to grab a dozen packets to cover a large order of fries, and it makes me feel like a heel to do it.
And it's not even efficient. There's so little ketchup in each packet that 10 percent ends up on the packet where I tore it open due to surface tension or non-Newtonian flow or some other scientific principle. Who designed these things? Is the problem me? Do I use too much ketchup? Or is the problem a society that makes me a villain for using ketchup? |

Shit. I used to know the reason for that. Think I saw it on "How Things Are Made," or something. Dang it, now I'm going to be thinking about that the rest of the day.

Never really thought about it, but you're absolutely right. It just so happens that the biggest super star athlete in the world probably also agrees with you. Need to get him to speak out for this meaningful cause.

Ketchup is the worst condiment there is, don’t @ me.

This. It's okay on fries. On anything else it's trash. My kid dips his chicken nuggets in it. Pretty sure he's actually the yard guy's kid. And when people put it on eggs for breakfast? 50/50 if I can even stay at the table.

Heinz dip and squeeze packets solve that problem. To bad I've only seen them at a couple places like Culver's and Chick-fil-A.
