I would have thought that ketchup would have been measured in gallons and not pounds since it's liquid.

They have a fine collection of square nails.

It's properly measured in football fields.

/462, yeah, 462, 462, yeah, yeah, 462 football fields of ketchup. Wapner at 11.

did it make the English Major weep or shout in joy?

All that ketchup, someplace where it doesn't belong.

Almost complete headline fail (partial credit for getting the green) There are so many better and more obvious jokes you could have gone with in this case but you chose one that barely makes any sense and some modmin approved it. I weep for Fark some days.

does this mean that Warren Buffet is dropping out of buying Heinz?

What, no ketchup snubs. I was expecting more "mustard or some other sauce is preferred" comments.

Well, all I have to say about that is, if only the Oscar Meyer mobile would happen on the scene to help with the clean up.

He's delivering 42,000 lbs of ranch dressing to the scene; the Kranch must flow

YES!

The tag line sadly did not say FL, but they will ketchup.

I'm not trying to insinuate that Reno is the anus of America, everyone knows that is much further east, but isn't grape jelly the preferred condiment of choice for salad tossing?

/asking for a friend

Chainsaw Turd Elf		2013-03-01 12:58:54 PM

So ketchup is transported in tanker trucks? Do they pull up to the back of fast food restaurants and then transfer it to a holding tank via a hose?

Each truck comes with one of these and a kajillion little paper cups:

If the salad is well-washed, you don't really need condiments. *shrug*

It's the latest "totally real" "grassroots" meme to hit the web. Japanese people buy a bunch of McDonald's fries, dump them on the table, then eat them.

/My guess is that MickyDee's is long on fries and is trying to get rid of them without taking a bath.

Somebody must have hit the "57" on the side just right.

MattyBlast		2013-03-01 03:10:21 PM

Fortunately it was easy for other motorists to see...after all, Heinz-sight is 20/20.

I live in Reno too, but if I got butthurt every single time someone insulted it, my life would be pretty miserable.

I guess it the fact that it tastes like ass is, for me my friend, somewhat of a turn off.
