Fries With Your Ketchup?

Well, I gotta tell ya, this is just plain exciting. H.J. Heinz announced (warning, link goes to a .pdf) a new ketchup package for fast foods. As a professional fast food eater, well, this really ranks right up there.


See how you can peel it open for dipping? I always have to tear up the fries box or use the lid from the burger to squirt several ketchup packets to manage to apply said ketchup to fries without making a mess requiring a plate and silverware. Forget actually driving - this is just sitting at the desk at a motel room or balanced on the center console of the ol' pickup. In the truck? Balancing all that on the dash generally ends up with various fast food items and hardware decorating the floor of the cab.


If your burger is too dry, well, the packet can be used in "squeeze" mode.


Just tear off the end to squeeze the condiment of life (fast food division) on the desired course.


Aaand, this ain't no wimpy container, neither. It holds as much as three of the old school packets.

Bravo, Heinz! Y'all done good, ya hear!

These ought to be just as much fun, if not more, for kids to stomp on.

I share your enthusiasm for this new packaging. Hadn't thought of the projectile benefits.

Now if they'd just do the same for mayonnaise.

They talked of this on NPR last week. I guess I don't understand the big deal.

In the big scheme of things, this is pretty insignificant. Cool, but not earth shatteringly important.

Whataburger has had ketchup tubs for years. I don't know what they put in their ketchup, but damn it's tasty. Check it out next time you're in OK or TX.
