Or you could get the plastic squeezy bottle. Or you could just not be a spazz and be able to get ketchup out of a bottle

Dead for Tax Reasons: Or you could get the plastic squeezy bottle. Or you could just not be a spazz and be able to get ketchup out of a bottle

And at a certain point you can squeeze and hammer all you want and there will still be fifteen percent of the contents bitterly clinging to the container.

I find a good overhead swing gets all the ketchup down to the cap easy enough already... how long until we find out this "magic coating" causes cancer?

Only MIT nerds would invent a super slippery non-toxic substance and then use it to line the inside of a ketchup bottle.

no no NO! it SHOULD be.

Yeah, I thought glass bottles emptied out better than plastic, especially if you stand them upside down to get the last bit out.
Because of the euphemism talk here, may I say that I just spent an hour scrubbing love bugs off the front of my car, and my right arm is totally weak; I can hardly do a thing with it. I think I finally know what it must be like to be a man.

Or they could just make ketchup a bit less thick. Or make the bottles with wider necks.
 
2012-05-23 11:27:03 AM
If that stuff is durable enough, I'd coat plates, bowls, and glasses with it.

Of course, you'd have to be careful with the plates, or your food would slide right onto the floor.

I love how the FDA can and will point out with absolute certainty an outbreak which affects less than .0001% of the population when it comes to tainted peanut butter...

nah, not worth expounding further on it.

We're missing the real point here folks. Heinz 57 and other such steak sauces should never be used. If your steak is so flavorless that you need to dump a bunch of goo on it, man up and address the real problem of your inferior meat. And if for some reason you really like the taste of these sauces, buy the cheapest meat you can find, but the quality won't matter anyways.

Hand Banana: Why do they even make glass ketchup bottles anymore?

They look better on the table. Also, some of the plastic bottles have that pressure sensitive "valve" to reduce leakage. So you squeeze with increasing intensity while nothing comes out...until it does, in a quantity 3 times larger than desired, and in one pile.

Same reason people don't like beer from a can, I suppose. Or maybe less environment impact when lazy assholes toss it into a landfill.

A little girl peeks out of her bedroom window one night & sees her big sister in her boyfriend's car, doing something to her boyfriend's lap. later, she asks her big sis what she was doing. "I was giving him a handjob" her sister replies.
"What's a handjob?" she asks.
"Well, it sort of like getting ketchup out of a bottle." Her sister explains.

Years later, the little girl is grown up & has a boyfriend of her own. One night sitting on the porch as things were getting steamy, he asks her for a handjob. Remembering her sister's description, she takes his manhood in hand and proceeds to SLAP THE HELL OUT OF THE OF IT with the palm of her hand!

Really? Both of you? You can't buy high quality meat and cook it on a grill and eat it without drowning it in spices dumbass and condiments?

I can taste plastic in bottled water, as I imagine many people who have made an effort to banish plastic from their food also are able to taste it. We've done a good job of getting people used to the plastic content in our food and water that you can't even tell you're poisoning yourself anymore. Even aluminum water bottles have a plastic liner, which is why stainless steel is the popular type. Given the way non-sticks work, you are eating the lubricant in the bottle along with the ketchup.

The fortunate thing is that our bodies seem to have an amazing tolerance for chemical exposure but it's not worth using your body as an experiment to test it. The Romans died out before ever learning that their lead pipes drove them insane. If saving food is what they care about, what about bottle redesign to make it easier to retrieve the remaining ketchup or a device that would do the job?

Or you could hit the bottle 'upwards' when it's tipped upside down, causing the glass to move away from the ketchup, and the ketchup to fall out.

For science, have someone do a double blind study with you. I'll hypothesize your tasting the other additives (salt most likely), not the plastic in bottled water.

Actually, you're wrong about the romans. There exists quite a bit of evidence that the effects of lead were known (even the medical term for lead poisoning is Saturnism). If any lesson is to be learned from the fall of Rome, let it be that industry and government cannot be counted on to express the vigilance that is required to keep a society flourishing.

Harumph, guffaw. You're both wrong...there is a well-established consensus among historical scholars that the fall of Rome was precipitated by enitirely too much buttsecks.
