Seems wasteful  
Why are ketchup packets so fraking small?

I mean, I like to think that someone in the food services industry has done some huge study showing that the teeny packets we get are somehow the most efficient use of resources, but since I've yet to meet anyone who uses just one, I find that hard to believe.

I dunno WHAT exactly I'm supposed to do with these tiny things. We need a better ketchup delivery system!

Somehow in the past couple of days I've unintentionally managed to eat lunch next to Steve Urkel and Matthew Perry.

Anywho... work's been crazy busy. I'm looking forward to the weekend.

Vinegar and tomato paste are a scarce resource during recessions.

I think I've uttered those words on a date or two...

Was Urkle on a coffee break, or did you catch him when his shift ended?

I never thought of that before. You are right. Mayonnaise comes in larger packets. Why can't ketchup? Maybe restaurants are worried that the higher priced bigger packets will cost too much.

You should see me when I (rarely) use ketchup with my fries ... I try too hard to rip up several packets at once. It's so annoying. :)
