I think they're too big!

My client keeps dropping them, then I step on them and they burst and I slip on spilled ketchup and it hurts. :(

Packets suck, Whataburger has the one true method of distribution: small cups equal to about 2-3 packets with a peel-off lid.

In Europe, (almost) all packages of the condiment type (hehehe... condoment..) are twice as large as American ones.


Really? I thought it would be the other way around, condidering the stereotype that Amercans douse everything they eat with ketchup. I am enlightened.

Speaking of ketchup:Ketchup Cake

"if you put enough cream cheese frosting on it, eat it quick, and then have a glass of water, it's not bad."

Yah, Ketchup packets are annoying :p . But most restrunts (I will NEVER in a MILLION years be able to spell that god-forsaken word!) have those little cups, and a fosset-type-of-thing that squirts ketchup... but the cups are too small too... Whenever I get to Wendy's or something, I get like 2 or 3 little cups, and usually use them all!

EDIT: I spelled the word ketchup with a v instead of a c in the first line... (Why can't I spell today?)
2nd EDIT: More spelling errors... :rolleyes:




You know those cups are expandable. When someone showed me this, it changed my whole eating out expericance lol. Just take the cup, and spread apart the little folds all around, and you got a cup thats almost twice the size as when it is folded up.

Enjoy!

Well yeah, on the rare occasion I go to a chain restaurant like that I just take the paper off my burgers and squirt the ketchup on directly. The heck with those little cups.

I eat real food... with no ketchup :eek:
My lunch was a traditional austrian dish... sausages, with lentils and, uh, "bread balls".
I forget the freaky german name for it. My girlfriend cooks like a demiurge :D

Those little cups are way more roomy than the ketchup packets, though. Those cups will easily satisfy a burger's need for ketchup, and two will easily provide coating for a medium french fries.

Packet sealers don't get laid off, they get recycled and scrapped for parts. =p

Yes, I know!
And if they were bigger, they would take less, and/or the people behind the counter could manage handing them out

Damn I swear one day I'm going to start bring my OWN bottle of ketchup with me wherever I go eat. It's really disappointing when you order fat food at a drive throu and Rosarita Senorita who barely understands 'engrish' or clueless Dude Morisson from the Valley who can't add or pay attention to what you say forgets to add ketchup in your bag. Then when you ask for "Extra" they only give you two more tiny ass packets. It's like dude, ma'am, look at those itty bitty packets, look at the KING SIZE fries in my bag. Hello? Give me at least 15 packets of ketchup, not 2 or 3 wtf! Let me speak to your manager! "My who?" "No engles" Oh hell forget it, good day! *drives off pissed* :rolleyes:

Ketchup (or is it catsup) packets can never be big enough. :D
