Maybe you're not getting enough ketchup in your diet. You know, ketchup has natural mellowing agents that make life seem less unpleasant.

I like the package...But three times as much ketchup? Damn you americans with complementary condiments! We'll be paying through our noses for those! (It's €0.50 = $0.70 for a packet of ketchup now, what'll it become?!)

Not all of our condiments are complimentary here. Some places do charge $0.10 - $0.50 for them but usually that is for ranch or barbecue sauce. They usually don;t charge for ketchup packets but if they ever do start charging for them I may have to start bringing my own bottle with me or I could risk going broke

Typically the only time I'm charged for condiments is if I ask for more. I've seen some places (Arby's in particular) that'll have a sign explaining their condiment policy.
You pay 50¢ or more for a quarter ounce of ketchup? Seriously? That's messed up. Amazon has 200 packets (eligible for free shipping) for just over $10. Call it 5¢ a packet, though I doubt a major chain pays that much, and that's a 1000% markup. Charging for packets to prevent loss is one thing, turning them into a leader on profit margins is absurd. If this new packet starts selling for $1+ it will be the customers' fault for being sheep.

There's a mediocre chicken strip restaurant down here that everyone goes MAD for, but what everyone really loves is the sauce (which is actually pretty easy to duplicate). They charge a quarter per extra sauce and I think they sell it in larger quantities now, too. Ya know how places like that all have their version of the seasoned ketchup/mayo mixture? It's just that with some other stuff.

I learned the greatness of Heinz ketchup in Ireland. It's a bit more sour than the Finnish brands, so it's great in my traditional Finnish student food: pasta bolognese (or spaghetti and hamburger sauce, as we call it). For everything else, I use the Finnish brand. I go through... at least two litres a month.

There are always sweet potato fries in my freezer and ketchup in my fridge.
I don't believe I've ever seen anything like that.[/QUOTE]
It's been a while, but I have seen a packet like that, though it wasn't ketchup. It was a sauce packet in Lunchables Deluxe, about two decades ago. I don't think I've seen that type of container since.
AW YISS. You eat the good shit? By good shit I mean the spicy kind that either takes hair off your chest or puts it the hell on you (depending on the original state of your chest).

I don't like yellow mustard that much, but I love coarse, spicy brown, horseradish, Dijon... I used to love yellow but not so much anymore.

Darn you Germany for only having Kraft Ketchup packets at Restaurants and Fast Food Places! i will never be able to try that!
Can't you already do that with those packets with the two small tubs, that you squash together for squeezing?[/QUOTE]
I don't believe I've ever seen anything like that. The typical US ketchup packet is like this:

"fancy" Ketchup? That almost looks like a parody. Is there a kind of "un-fancy" Ketchup, or it's just something weird somebody at McDonalds thought up?
