DailyDirt: You Say Ketchup, I Say Catsup...
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
Ketchup actually started out as a fish sauce and somehow evolved into the much more widely-consumed condiment we know today. Early recipes of ketchup contained sodium benzoate -- which was banned in the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act. That ban led to other formulations which contained vinegar as a preservative and used ripe tomatoes. Here are just a few more fascinating factoids about this tangy, thixotropic, tomato-based foodstuff.
- MIT researchers have developed LiquiGlide -- a non-stick coating that could let people get every last drop of ketchup out of a bottle easily. Anticipation is no longer making me wait.... [url]
- Malcom Gladwell is famous for (among other things) his talk on spaghetti sauces and the discovery that customers want a spectrum of choices when it comes to spaghetti sauces. But ketchup seems to be the exception to the rule because there's just a single dominant brand -- and there are far fewer than 57 varieties of it. [url]
- Should ketchup count as a vegetable in school lunches? The tomato sauce on pizza may not count as a vegetable serving according to mothers and the USDA, but it might for some politicians. [url]

And yet one still finds it on the grocery shelves.

Getting It All Out
1) As it gets low, start propping it upside down when you put it back in the larder/fridge.
2) Give it a vigorous shake with the cap firmly on to coax it all closer to the opening. Then you can open the cap and dribble it out with less vigorous shaking.

Really, who cares what Malcom Gladwell says?

here's the things i apply to avoid this problem
2. In cases where point 1 wasn't applied, I point the nozzle downward then I flick my wrist such as to stop the motion of the container abruptly
That being said I'd gladly have this invention aplied on my diches and bowls. I hve doing the dishes and don't want an energy & water wasting machine to do it either, nor do I have the room for one.
