That's the longest ketchup packet I've ever seen.

[–] vogi@piefed.social 36 points 1 day ago

Great, now you made it all self-conscious :(

It only has those strange European looking units on the top of it. Despite living in a few European countries for awhile I can't say I recall seeing a ketchup packet, but yes typically the ones in US at least are shorter

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 1 points 21 hours ago

20g but 17ml?!? I was promised that metric masses and volumes were interchangeable! They told me I wouldn't have to use any weird conversion ratio!

Liars!

It's not longer. It's slimmer. Same price.

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

It's definitely bigger than US standard ketchup packets. I checked one I had lying around and it was like 9 grams, this is over twice that.

[–] bandwidthcrisis@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

It's worth pointing out to the rest of the world that the US packets actually say "NET WT 9g" on them.

Okay, what is spirit vinegar? Milked ghost juice?

Also does "contains Celery" mean that there's sodium nitrate?

[–] nyctre@piefed.social 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Spirit as in alcohol, I think.

[–] myyass@lemmy.world 1 points 38 seconds ago

I know, I was just making a shit joke. The whole thing was written oddly.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

yes celery ingredient would including the celery salt=aka nitrates, companies like to obfuscate the preservative by using another source of nitrates.

[–] myyass@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

I kinda figured, I've never seen it written that way before.

caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatsup

The only reason to close the sauce like this is if you’re trying to hide something. What are they doing in there that they don’t want us to see? This is why I don’t use closed sauce servings, anything could be in there and I would have no idea, FOSS (fragrant open sauce servings) are much more ethical and natural to human nature

Ketchup sucks. And they spell it funny.

Ugh, it’s so overly technical and bloated. Even the package size is non-standard.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Wait, how do you have 148g of tomatoes for every 100g of sauce?

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's the weight of the tomato that died to make this sauce. Despite improvements in efficiency, the entire tomato corpse cannot be used int the sauce.

[–] xavier666@lemmy.umucat.day 1 points 13 hours ago

So I'm getting more tomato wrt a unit of an alive tomato?

[–] fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Ketchup is reduced tomato and sugar. Big part of a tomato is water that boils off.

[–] SatansDaughter@quokk.au 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm gonna install Linux on my ketchup packet

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

You're mad! It can't be done, don't be a fool!

[–] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd like to know more about that wooden surface upon which the ketchup is resting. Is it a table, coffee table, chair, or toilet seat? Was the ring formed by a cup, a bowl, a glass, a mug, or a small bucket? What was held inside the object that created the ring? Where did you purchase this wooden panel? Where was it grown? How old was the tree prior to being harvested for lumber?

[–] vogi@piefed.social 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thank you so much for being interested in the wooden surface! It is a table, though it could also very well be a coffee table because I the original wooden panel was to long for the dining table i bought it for so I sawed the rest off and made a coffee table by upgrading an old IKEA LACK table I had laying around. However this picture is taken on the dining table . As for the ring I sadly do not remember the exact point in time it happened but I strongly suspect that it was coffee inside of mug which I regularly drink, in the morning, on that table. Regarding the used wood I am afraid I must disappoint you once more as my knowledge on it lacking. I have bought it in a local DIY shop in Germany so the chances are pretty high it was harvested in that area, however I guess you cannot be too sure about that nowadays. And as it not one solid piece of wood rather glued together I unable to count the age prior to harvest. Sorry about that. Im feeling a bit ashamed I do not know as much about the wood I dine on everyday, but if you have any further questions im happy to help.

This has proven indubitably informative, danke

Ew, Heinz. Frenches is way better.

In Canada, yes. Its more acidic and slightly less sweet than heinz is.

[–] X@piefed.world 2 points 1 day ago

US conservatives sweating bullets because they can’t figure out what the packet contains.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Even this ketchup packet isn't big enough for my mother in law when she orders lasagna.

Yes, she drowns it in the ketchup.
