Let's talk for a moment about the ketchup bottle.
When I first saw the comparison I thought; what bullshit.
I actually prefer the old style ketchup bottle. However, because of the glass they can really only come in small sizes.
The plastic bottle solved a perceived user need. However, in real-world use (at least around this house) when the ketchup bottle is stored top-down, it creates a very top-heavy bottle. And when the bottle is stored in the door of the fridge (common placement) when the door is opened it more often than not tips over. Not a huge deal but what happens is (again, at least around this house) is that the bottle when stored gets flipped onto its bottom so it doesn't tip over. Then, when the ketchup is taken out for use you're right back to the age old method of getting ketchup; You shake the shit out of it. Shake the ketchup downward into the top (cap). Open and squeeze. *Massive fart sound*. Close cap. Shake down into cap again. Squeeze. So, what really did this solve other than the ease of squeezing out your ketchup?
The one great thing is that I really enjoy the fart sounds it makes.
