OT: Oh, The Humanity. Single Serve Ketchup Packets

[Chin Diesel]

And you thought we were past the end of the beginning with COVID shortages.

Nope.

Start hoarding those single serve packages. I'll assume everyone has a few months worth of single serve packages stashed away in the glove box, car door pockets, some random drawer in your kitchen and your old work desk- Ketchup, mustard, relish, Taco Bell sauces, Chick-fil-A, etc, etc..

Never touch the stuff these days. But if you said there was going to be a soy sauce shortage...

Good Lord, Grape-Nuts, too? Who still eats those, people trying to lose teeth or fillings?

Other recent shortages include Grape-Nuts cereal and microchips, which is affecting car production and used car prices.

I guess you'll be ok if you dine at Louie's lunch

Grape Nuts is one of life's great mysteries.

How does that make it through any focus group?

Got a nice stash right next to my Taco Bell sauce horde.

Why would a grown adult need ketchup? Literally red sugar and trash... yup judgement

Counts as a vegetable serving.

Only if you are over 310 pounds.

Now that is a grown adult. In the history of cereal Grape Nuts was an original. Saw a TV machine program on the CW Post vs Kellogg competition. Developed in 1897. There are no grapes or nuts in it.

Not literally.

And not needed. But wanted.

Agree to disagree...

They tested people it with people who like to eat gravel?

I hear Grapenuts, the only thing I think of is the 5:30 mark:

He's using "literally" in a figurative context you pedant.

Uh, nobody tagged @August_West ? What has this place come to?

I do have a hoard of those. With one or two containers of buffalo dipping sauce from McD or BK.

I can live without Ketchup, I eat French Fries with nothing or malt vinegar. Burgers though, if no Ketchup, then I'd opt for BBQ sauce. Hot dogs would be a problem unless chili dogs.

Put him and ketchup together and he becomes Chief00-like in his need to make the thread about himself and not the subject matter- shortage of single serve ketchup packets.

 

[UCOnions]

Got to save them for the Turkey and Ketchup sandwiches, they will make a comeback for the mojo at some point in the future.

Do you have the same disdain for BBQ sauce and many other condiments or just ketchup? 1 serving of Heinz ketchup only has 4g of total sugars for 1 Tbsp. Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ Sauce has 15g for 2 Tbsp (or 7.5 for 1). Spicy brown mustard has none. Also, the first ingredient listed is tomato concentrate from red ripe tomatoes. Your assessment is a little off.
I like ketchup. Use it on my burgers and also commit heresy by using a combination of sweet/hot mustard and ketchup on hot dogs. Wife uses it on her eggs. Neither of us is at the 310 mark (308 & 309 respectively).

Who also maintain that relish is really a cucumber.

Ketchup is actually really good if you add a grain of salt.

Ketchup is actually really good if you add a grain of salt.

And it’s certainly fluid.
