Shared Frustrations

While overweight people have plenty of frustrations that not everyone can understand, there are some frustrations that we all share. Consider ketchup. It's a fat man's friend. Low calories and great flavor. Everyone loves ketchup. Who doesn't? If you don't like ketchup it's pretty obvious that you are a member of Al Qaida.

Every nation has their own version of ketchup. South America has salsa. Italy has marinara. Britain has...what does Britain have? I guess vinegar. If your food is so bad that all you can dip into is vinegar you are in bad shape!

While we win the taste test there are some things that can frustrate us about our hero...ketchup.

Frustration #1 - The package. Seriously, can we not make a bigger package for fast food restaurants? One package is good for two fries and they are hard to open. A gold medal goes to What-a-burger for making a breakthrough! Plenty of ketchup in a container that easy to open and most importantly taste amazing! Seriously, you will find no better ketchup. The loser is any fine restaurant that thinks bringing you a miniature bottle of Heinz is a good thing. Seriously? There is more glass than ketchup. Stop!

Frustration #1 - The bottle. How long has ketchup been around? 1801! 208 years later we decided that ketchup bottles are only used upside down...so why don't we make an upside down bottle! Seriously, when did upside down bottles become commonplace? Six months ago? How sad it that is.

Frustration #3 - The colored container. When you sit down at a restaurant it looks lovely to have every ketchup bottle filled to the top. But, when you are deceived by a bottle that appears full only to find out it is empty your frustration level peaks. For our sanity please replace the colored containers with a clear container. Ketchup deception is so painful.

What-A-Burger ketchup and McDonald fries = gourmet appetizer...but not on my diet!
