    How about when you get one of those ketchup packets and you open it and the color is little off? I'm like..i aint eaten that. And then you give your buddy the crappy ketchup packet. So cruel.

    have you seen the green ketchup packets? I'm trying to remember where they had those

    like, the ketchup itself was actually green
    Maybe on St. Pattys day and you were drinking?

    Sadly...it was a thing

    Love it. I hope it comes out the other end that color. :)
    But he did say green ketchup packets. Where are the green ketchup packets?

    And just think. Some marketing genius probably pulled down a good salary for "creating" the green/purple ketchup idea.

    I weep for humanity.

    They could probably respin the marketing for green and purple ketchup (maybe in a twin bottle) and market it to the gamers. (BTW, I am not responsible for what you see if you google green and purple and gamers)

    I like ketchup between 2 pieces of Wonder bread. Plain and simple.

    Throw some Velveeta or Cheez Whiz on there and you might be on to something.

    It's not "bad". I like it on certain foods.

    It's a bit too high in sugar for my liking, so I get the reduced sugar variety. Really though, I don't think it makes a huge difference with how little one normally uses.

    We stick to the 5 ingredients or less when buying packaged foods, and only if those ingredients are good for you foods. That said we tried making our own condiments (mayo and ketchup). None of the ketchups were even remotely good. Mayo is easy and tastes SO much better if you make it. You can add whatever you like is small batches. We now buy Annie's ketchup. At least it doesn't have high fructose corn syrup?

    I just scrolled up and saw velveeta and cheez wiz. I used to eat those like nobody's business. Holy crap. So delightfully delicious. Once I hate an entire bag of Dorito's with a can of spray "cheese". HURK.

    It's DELICIOUS. When I was a kid I would eat it with everything... after school I would eat it with pretzels. Probably part of the reason I'm on MFP haha. I don't eat it much anymore because I don't eat many french fries now.

    Never been a fan. I usually put salsa on burgers and dogs, gravy on my fries, sometimes on eggs, but rarely... otherwise no use for it for me.

    When I was (literally) a starving student, I would go to a fast food joint, steal a few packages of ketchup, squirt it into a cup and add boiling water. Presto! Tomato soup.

    Sort of.

    How about when your mom would put water in the ketchup to get the last of it in the bottle and then you use it? Ruined!

    Years ago I enjoyed this article on how artisanal mustard is a thing, but not ketchup:

    I also love that it was easily findable because of the internet.

    I could have swore I saw packets before at some fast food joint

    but I may just be losing my mind

    @draznyth They gave out green ketchup at Burger King a few years ago for St. Patrick's Day.

    Took my boys that day... They had a fun day with green tongues!! They didn't want to brush their teeth because of that. :laugh:

    So no, you're not losing your mind. :smiley:

    I just hate buying ketchup because I use it so infrequently that it just ends up going to waste.

    Salsa on the other hand I use a lot. I was skeptical about the current brand I'm using because it comes from Texas, but it turned out to be pretty good.
    Does ketchup go bad? I always assumed it was like twinkies...

    And seriously, what's with all the Texas hate today? Why would a state that borders Mexico not have good salsa?! Would you rather your salsa from Canada?

    Because people from most of the country think that salsa should taste like marinara sauce.

    There is nothing so depressing as going to a "Mexican" restaurant in the midwest. It's a soul-sucking experience.

    Even the good brands make "extra mild" salsa for certain markets.

    Extra. Mild. That's not salsa. That's chopped up tomatoes.
