I mean, really. Why? One ketchup packet handles two french fries, maybe three. If I'm at McDonald's I have to grab a dozen packets to cover a large order of fries, and it makes me feel like a heel to do it.
And it's not even efficient. There's so little ketchup in each packet that 10 percent ends up on the packet where I tore it open due to surface tension or non-Newtonian flow or some other scientific principle. Who designed these things?
Is the problem me? Do I use too much ketchup? Or is the problem a society that makes me a villain for using ketchup? [Reply]
Shit. I used to know the reason for that. Think I saw it on "How Things Are Made," or something. Dang it, now I'm going to be thinking about that the rest of the day. [Reply]
Never really thought about it, but you're absolutely right. It just so happens that the biggest super star athlete in the world probably also agrees with you. Need to get him to speak out for this meaningful cause. [Reply]
I am with you on the application to fries. Dunk 'em. But one packet is the perfect size when applied to a bun. Much bigger on my burger would result in a messed up shirt, unless it is a red Chiefs shirt.
See that, I made it into a football thread. [Reply]

Yeah, I was trying to remember where I've seen those. Any restaurant that offers those has me for life.
Well, unless I forget that they do it, of course. [Reply]
