This Isn't Totally Good News

The highly-skilled engineers at Heinz have spent many years trying to redesign their 40-year-old ketchup packet to make it easier for hos who like to dip and drive. After trying out unsuccessful prototype after unsuccessful prototype, they finally walked into a McDonald's to soothe their frustrations with a 6-piece Chicken McNugget. The light bulb went off when they glanced down at the sweet & sour dipping pack that has been around for millions of years.

The VP of Heinz said that the new Heinz pack will feature 3 times more ketchup and won't take you 4 hours and 2 sets of teeth to open.

I need to point out two things. First of all, how in the name of government assistance am I supposed to fill my ketchup bottle at home with those things? Heinz is making it hard. Second of all, does this mean that ketchup bombing will slowly be replaced with horsey sauce bombing?

Wendy's Onion Ring sauce makes my knees go weak. That shit probably has crack in it.

I'm gonna' have to go to Arby's just to score a Horsey Sauce packet.

Tyroan - my kindred soul, who understands the joy of a mouth ON FIRE! Lol. And what's more impressive - that I spelled these correctly or that *you know* I did?

Team BBQ sauce everything! Oh and you people who put fucking ranch dressing on pizza and tell me it's amazing? I can't with you.

My husband puts ranch in leftover spaghetti to re-wet it. Ugh, it's the grossest shade of vomitous pink and the sound it makes when he stirs it-

OMG. I literally just puked in my mouth a little. Ugh.

So you can dip it *or* squeeze it? Hm.

I love tabasco or cholula or tapatio in my ketchup. I actually find it pretty plain otherwise. Cannot do without. Luckily, most restaurants seem to come out with the mustard, ketchup and at least tabasco at the same time these days.

Other than that, it's really about the spicy mustard.

And for pizza? Sriracha sauce.

They shoulda made the little container out of potatoes so we could eat it afterward.

REally they could make all packaging out of food, so then we could eat our garbage. Which really makes sense cause most packaged food is garbage anyway.

My boyfriend got me hooked on sprinkling pepper in my ketchup. He says its an NYC thing.

salacious - my BH uses mayo on his chicken, like when I cook chicken, baked, BBQ'd, etc, he dips it in mayo.

I don't know if you have Whataburger up North, but Whataburger has THE BEST ketchup EVER. They have dipping ketchup like that already. This is nothing new!!! AND it taste amazing as well - better than any bottled mess.

I don't really like ketchup. I dip all my fries in honey mustard. Yum.

But tearing off the corner of the old packets, sticking the fry in and letting the sides of it scrape most of it off when you pulled it out left the perfect amount.

ME TOO! Yay! My husband thinks I am so weird for doing this. Glad I am not alone in my ketchup habits.

Are these things biodegradable?

I read somewhere else that they're claiming it is.

Supertramp's picture

I can tell you that Heinz probably spent over $10 million to develop this new packet.

elmo533's picture

Whataburger (a burger place here in Texas) already has something similar to this but better and has had it for years.

Just another sign that the apocalypse is near.

I'm having imaging people having that much trouble opening the packets. Unless your hands are oily, or maybe if your nails are too long (solution: cut your fucking nails), I don't see it.

Probably I dream about a lot of places Ive never been to or seen before then a while later Im there.

I also dreamt about 5 children dying in a house....and well...I don't wanna get into it.

MK this wouldn't make ketchup bombing *obsolete*, it would make ketchup bombing EASIER! Instead of making one yourself with a bottlecap and aluminum foil, all you'd have to do is poke a hole in the top of one of these and throw it.

This is, indeed, a sad day.

Not to mention that fucks shouldn't be dipping their foodstuffs into any sort of sauce whilst @ the wheel.
