This is just the ketchup that dries on the lid
Please stop proudly deteriorating, America.
Does anyone know what I’m referencing when I say, “and then you just add a squirt of lattice, a squirt of napkins…” Or, “quit fake pressing buttons on the microwave!!”
Who comes up with these things?
People who should be removed from polite society and left on an island far far away.
Probably the packaging company branching out into yet another type of individually packaged single-use plastic. Ketchup is an untapped market! (Unless you count the restaurant to-go packs, but those suck).
Do you mean the squeeze or dip packets? Those are brilliant.
Capitalists
With the unit price going way up by selling a 10 pack of slices for the cost of a bottle of ketchup, somebody probably got a promotion for this idea.
Great people those capitalists.
I bet they’d get along with my neighbors. I live across from a cemetery
Which is a great way to extract extra revenue from a piece of property.
Passive income
How I imagine the meeting went:
“ok we’re out of ideas… Let’s just go with whatever the next thing said here is.”
“… ketchup slices?”
“How do you even?.. God damn it… Fine. Ketchup slices. Christ forgive me…”
Narrator: “Christ did not forgive them.”
I think it’s more, “fuck… Bad news. Our Newark factory had an operator completely fuck up and use ten times the thickening agent for the ketchup. It came out as a big fucking block, 10 feet cubed of pure ketchup.”
“Sir, I have an idea”
Honestly I’m intrigued. I don’t love the individual plastic wrapping, but it does seem like a good way to get ketchup all the way on the edges without worrying about spilling it everywhere
Yes we must relieve people from the burden of having to master the difficult skill of putting condiments on a burger.
I’m from Texas, so they only taught us in school how to abstain with burgers.
I love the dirty
How hard is putting ketchup on a burger with a squeeze bottle, and a tiny opening? I’ve never “worried” about it.
Seriously… the mental gymnastics to justify consumerism are pitiful
“Im aware that its surrounded in single use plastic but im willing to sacrifice anyway”
I didn’t say I was willing to use it
Surely it’s melt back to liquid on a hot burger? I can see why this could be used, presuming it tastes fine.
The problem is what ingredients might be added to make it a solid at room temperature.
Cancer roulette
I’d try it. Is it really any more “processed” than ketchup already is?
I mean, ketchup doesn’t have to be horrendously processed. You can get a basic ketchup by mixing purreed tomatoes, vinegar, salt and sugar.
But sure, whatever these burger chains typically serve as ketchup, that has many more ingredients…
Pat this baby next to a slice of ultra processed american cheese and reach burgerland enlightenment.
Technically this is fruit leather.
A tomato fruit roll-up
By the foot? Nope. Yard? No. It’s a to-meter!
Sure thing, Ronnie, let’s get you back to
beddead.Aren’t Tomatos fruit though?

Tomatoes are a fruit, so…
Technically this is a crime against condiments.
More importantly, a crime against humanity.
No one who eats that is human /s
Frisbee
Or a blood clot
Just slap it on a wound like Flex Tape!
“We sawed this man in half but with just a few of these, he’s once again blood tight!”
When I was a kid, I did some stupid things. And then the other kids punched me.
I stopped doing stupid things.
What I’m saying here, is that kids need to go back to punching the stupid kids. Someone should have punched whoever thought of this.
But my safe space! /s
How about a slice of tomato instead?
WHERE DA VINIGER AT?!
They kinda don’t taste the same.
They very much dont taste neither feel the same.
Tomatos are kind of gross on burgers. Like, I have thisnwarm tasty burger, lets throw a slab of cold on it to ruin it. Screw that.
thank you
Whoa, whoa, whoa that doesn’t make a stock price go up
I’ll take a slice of peanut butter, a slice of mayonnaise, and a slice of banana in the middle.
You’ll fuck right off is what you’ll do
Fuck, you’re right, I forgot the slice of pickle and slice of raddish.
If it prevents the ketchup from leaking on the other end when biting then I’m willing to try.
Ok, so what you want to do is like zigzags, so when you put the bun down and shift it around a bit you get good coverage, but it’ll stay neat. Then you can go literally the rest of your life without that problem. Welcome.
If your burger isn’t leaking juices out the back when you bite into it, I think there’s room for improvement.
I think people have different tastes on this matter 😄
What’s the point of a burger of the condiments don’t end up on the plate for you to dip the burger into?
I like having clean hands while I eat a burger.
But you’re holding the food with your hands?
With my hands that are not covered in condiments and toppings because a reasonable amount was applied to a good bun. The quality of the bun is important too.
That looks like the same texture as the dried ketchup that gets stuck around the inside of the ketchup lid. Rubbery. Have never even been tempted to consider eating the rubbery goop on the inside of a ketchup lid.
Sometimes a thing is just figured out and that’s okay. You don’t have to keep trying to “innovate” or whatever.
