You slid your little paper sample cup under the spigot and pulled the handle forward. Out gushed a pressurized stream of tomato-y goodness. Ketchup plumbing. What will they think of next?
Dude, we have those everywhere in Texas. I mean, not everywhere, but it isn't a novelty.

But I have to open 10 of the damn things to get enough, and by the end of the process my hands are covered with ketchup, so slippery that I can't open the final packets, and I have a big mess o'messy packets.

And, no, ketchup does NOT make good lube!
One time the drive through person at Taco Bell insisted that the rule is "one sauce packet for two menu items" ...think about that for a minute.

So we drove around, went inside the store, and cleared out ALL of their sauce packets.
