The ketchup packet.

So today while I was eating my lunch I had some time to think about my next blogpost.  It's time to bring back blogging about inanimate objects (referencing previous blogs about a toothbrush and straws). 

Ketchup packets are .32 ounces.  That's not enough ounces.  Think about the consumers who use ketchup packets, those who are probably eating a burger and fries. Keyword there -- AND. 1 ketchup packet is certainty not enough to even spread around a burger AND dip your fries into.  Typically the burger meal comes with fries thus those who are eating this meal will need a lot of ketchup. Due to the obnoxiously small size of this packet, consumers are forced to use at least 3 or 4 packets of ketchup in one sitting, wasting a whole lot of packets. Don't get me started with how terrible the tear of the packet is, because I am pretty sure there's more ketchup left in the packet than on the plate after you open it up. It is just impossible to get that ketchup out in a neat and organized manner.  You can simply never get all the ketchup that's in the packet.  Also,  think about all the plastic that is being wasted from manufacturing all these packets when really, they could be going more green in investing in larger packets, isn't everyone trying to be more green these days anyways? (don't worry, I love to recycle).

I understand Heintz created new ketchup packets this past year, but I have yet to see them anywhere. My suggestion, make bigger ketchup packets so we don't have to use 48 in one sitting.  Mayonnaise gets one, and no one even likes mayonnaise.
