Say Goodbye to the venerable ketchup packet..

And hello to the Dip and Squeeze.

:hmm:

I don't eat ketchup with my fries if I'm driving, and I doubt this will allow me to easily do so.

The fact that it costs 3x more than a regular ketchup packet makes me wonder if it will catch on at fast food restaurants, who's margins are already paper thin on a lot of things.

why not just get rid of ketchup altogether? it is completely useless.

...and there is a need to eat ketchup while driving?

wtf is this shit?

Chick-fil-A here has had them for a while. Not a bad change as a ketchup user

bah i just abuse the shit out of those pump stations and little paper cups

"why'd you get 3 cups of ketchup for a small fry?"
"i dunno"

 

[BUTCH1]

I got some of those at Burger King, nice IMO..

Yeah, for months now. I like them.

 

[Ns1]

ketchup is fucking delicious

 

[Eli]

Glad to see good reviews at least. I haven't seen them yet.

 

[Cyco]

An amazing improvement on an amazing condiment!

I don't know who'd ketchup and drive, but at least the option's there.

I forgot where I got one of those before, but I must admit, it's a lot better than the packets.

 

[PottedMeat]

i heard somewhere - on the news or radio that they're supposed to sell a pack of 10 for $2?

Probably saves some money. Don't need to throw a handful of packets into a bag, just a box or tow.

I rarely use all my packets, and end up taking them home or to the office. Everyone else throws them in the trash. Grrr...

 

[Wreckem]

1 of the new is the equivalent of 3 of the old, which is why they are nearly three times the cost.

Chickfila has had these for quite a while. They are much better than the old. I use to use 4-5 of the old. I can get by with just 1 of the new.

Just what Americans need, another distraction while driving.

Serve up a batch of perfect fries, perfectly crispy and a beautiful golden brown - a lot of people will drown it in ketchup and be very mad if they can't. Yeah, I know.

hard to get a batch of perfect fries from a fast food place, though.

wait. so no more free ketchup packs? i see why they are doing this now. it is very clear

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

By all means lets find more ways for drivers to get distracted. Darwin needs moar!

 

[gaidensensei]

I wonder how much ketchup is wasted a day from these packet-type creations. Those plastic 'boat' thingies probably do a better job at getting the most out of the packets..

 

[Bulk Beef]

Ketchup can kiss my entire ass.

 

[HeXen]

i use a ton of ketchup on my fries, even a small frie i probably use over 6 packs which i find more annoyance than anything plus lots of salt, otherwise i never bother getting them, not really a fry person anyway, its more filler for me than anything

 

[Jaskalas]

And this whole topic is based on the venture of eating while driving.

Always good to know we have priorities, and driving most certainly isn't one of them.

 

[lxskllr]

Tabasco is my favorite fry topping.

Edit:
Followed closely by malt vinegar.

This ^. Stupid.

yeah, I don't get it. I understand that ff fries can be bad on ave, but it just conditions people to never taste food. kill it with anti-taste (ketchup), so you never know what food actually tastes like.

I love me some golden fried potatoes. such a great flavor.

hot sauce is great. or fresh garlic. yum.
