When did Heinz stop making ketchup packets?? They never stopped, they just didn't make them right. They are changing how they are made. |

Hopefully they make some improvements with them. I suspect that lots of people have been complaining. What's the new design going to be like?

And what was wrong with the current design? Don't mind all my questions, I never paid that mush attention to ketchup packets.

They did not hold enough ketchup. Have you ever or have you ever known anyone to just use one? The result was one of the most over packaged, wasteful and environmentally unfriendly things.

Very true...I never thought of that angle, and it makes even less sense for a ketchup packet to be small, as consumers don't pay for them (But I guess the places that serve them do...damn it! It's all for profit isn't it?).

Yep it has been that way for some time now. Also, condiment packets are kind of hard to open anyway. Wonder if Heinz has fixed that as well.

Well, our Query's have been answered:  For decades there was only one way to use the humble ketchup packet, and it was messy. Now, fast-food lovers have a choice: the traditional squeeze play — or the option to dunk..The new ketchup pack, unveiled Thursday by H.J. Heinz Co., is shaped like a shallow cup. The top can be peeled back for dipping, or the end can be torn off for squeezing. It holds three times as much ketchup as a traditional packet...Heinz struggled for years to develop a container that lets diners dip or squeeze, and to produce it at a cost acceptable to its restaurant customers...Heinz is rolling out the new packs this fall at select fast-food restaurants nationwide. It will continue to sell the traditional packets.
Whether restaurants buy the new packets will depend on cost, experts say..news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_heinz_ketchupWell, that's another mystery solved gang, get back in the Mystery Van... |
