Reinventing The Wheel


Ever have trouble tearing open a ketchup packet? Then there's the fact that you have to open about 30 of them to get enough ketchup to dip even a small order of french fries. Well, Heinz has finally listened to the voices of the people and redesigned the ketchup packet. Power to the people!

"Dip & Squeeze"

Is that some kind of new hip-hop move?

I remember causing all kinds of trouble by stomping on the little packets in a parking lot. Lots of ketchup splatter on car doors. Now there's three times the capacity to do trouble.

I think I'll just keep stealing the free packets from work and McDonalds ... pffffft

Anyway, if I get to dip with the mrs. I don't have to squeeze it myself rolleyes

If I had a dollar for the number of times I've squeezed a packet of ketchup and it squirted in any direction other than where I wanted it to go... I'd be rich.

I do get a dollar from the Association of Professional Dry-Cleaners everytime that happens, in appreciation of my invention of the randomly squirting ketchup packet.
