Attn: Fellow Ketchup Lovers

I am an admitted ketchup lover, though I do only put it on the normal stuff like burgers and fries (unlike Ranch dressing, which is so much more versatile - but that is another post entirely). I am appalled when I leave the drive-thru and find only 1-2 packets in my to-go bag. Much to my husband’s dismay and embarassment, I require more like 6-8 packets for the average combo meal. So when I went through the drive thru at Chick-Fil-A today and asked for extra ketchup, the guy at the window says, “Oh, but we have these bigger ones now,” and held up the new Heinz Dip & Squeeze packet.  “Still, I’m going to need a couple extra,” I tell him, concealing my excitement. I’ve said it before, I’m a sucker for cool packaging, and I had read about this fancy new ketchup packet some time ago. I couldn’t wait to give it a try.

So here’s my review: I was eating in the car, so I used the squeeze function on my sandwich with one packet and the dipping function for my fries with another. (I don’t recommend trying out both ways on the same packet :) It does hold at least twice as much as a regular ketchup packet. It’s easy to open making it a lot less messy overall, and bonus: the opening is large enought to dip the entire width of a Chick-Fil-A waffle fry! The only drawback: it’s a little on the shallow side, so you can’t dip very deep.  It’s thoughtfully designed in a bottle shape and fun to use. Way to go, Heinz! You just made a ketchup packet cool - who woulda thought?
