these things:

They are so helpful, especially if you are eating fries at a place where you have to stand or something. To try and imitate this, sometimes I'll tear the top off of a ketchup packet from another fast food place and open it up like a tube and dip my fries into it, but it results in way less ketchup and more of a hassle because they don't stand on their own.

Also, spicy ketchup should be standard, too.

This is what I came for.

Also, these things are getting fairly common, or it appears that way for me.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

LTTP on this one OP. A lot of places started using these a long time ago.

What's wrong with the standard ketchup cup?

 

[Zoidberg Jesus]

I read that as "ketchup cans". I need to go to sleep.

LTTP? What-a-burger has been doing this for like 30 years now.

And please list these lots of places. The only places I see that give those kinds of ketchup packets out are Dairy Queen, or places that otherwise aren't fastfood.

McDonalds:

Burger King:

Jack in the box:

Wendy's:

 

[MogCakes]

I agree, they should be standard but not because they're in a cup. Their spicy ketchup is just damn good.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Seems like a waste of material and thus production resources/energy.

 

[HoodWinked]

these packets are pretty cool too they're called "dispen-pak"

[soco]

i prefer the while things you fill yourself especially as you expand them.

agree on the spicy ketchup. don't know how it's not common.

 

[kamakazi5]

The taste of Whataburger ketchup is absolutely incredible. McDonald's frys and Whataburger ketchup is a match made in heaven. It's kind of weird that they're ketchup is so good but 90% if the time their frys are limp and not crunchy.

If you are dining in, yeah, that's the best. Burger Kings usually have those kinds. These are for drive-thru.

Wtffff where can you find those?!
Should be filled w mayo and sriracha. Or ranch and buffalo. Or pb & j.

I'm so hungry rn.

 

[Asmodai48]

Pretty sure KFC has been using these for like 10 years now (Australia)

Sweetened tomato paste is a condiment no human over the age of 7 should comsume at any time.

Comments on adult hood, yet proudly decorates his every post with images of japanese toys

 

[Stasis]

Anytime I eat fast food I don't get condiments unless I order nuggets of some kind. All sauces come like that. I'm in Quebec so if we're getting fast food I'm getting my fries upgraded to a poutine, which is available everywhere. No need for ketchup.

Though I agree. Those normal ketchup packets are awful. If I had to deal with them I'd be annoyed.

 

[gimmmick]

Probably was the best thing about this overrated chain.

Utter rubbish.

 

[Randy Monk]

Where's my Sriracha packets?!?!

 

[Des0lar]

America lttp as always. We've had these here for all kinds of sauces at McDonald's since forever.

was just about to say, Chick-fil-A has all their sauces this way (except for one sauce, but I forget which one).

Chick-Fil-a and Raising Cane's have them off the top of my head. I see them around a lot nowadays. Didn't know What-a-burger had them for so long, don't eat there.

 

[acheron_xl]

And please list these lots of places.

Culver's has those, for one.

 

[Drain You]

condiments are gross no one should eat them

 

[Fat4all]

All 8 of my local Sheetz give those cool Heinz packs with meals.

 

[Fat4all]

Also, it's not Wendy's ketchup if it's not this ketchup

 

[natsuyasumi]

Surely fry-dipping convenience outweighs any environmental concerns.

 

[Newt]

We're getting advanced with our ketchup setups.

So what I'm getting out of this comment is that you don't recycle plastic?

no need to get all holier-than-thou on people in a ketchup thread

 

[Krejlooc]

I assume you meant to direct that at the guy who infers global destruction because of ketchup packets?

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

KFC used to do these.

Dipping crispy strips into these used to be god tier. Then they stopped making crispy strips and replaced them with the garbage mini fillets.

 

[The Atticus]

Which backwards country uses PACKETS
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NERDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[dperrin]

LTTP on this one OP. A lot of places started using these a long time ago.

I always struggle to open those. Lol

Whataburger and Chickfila packets are easier to open IMO.

In Australia they're the norm, don't know why they haven't taken off elsewhere.

 

[Zombine]

Just carry a pull string bag like I do but throw a bottle of ketchup in it when you know you're going out for food.

 

[Night Angel]

The containers are indeed awesome, but the best part is on the inside.

Some of yall just don't know the bliss of:

Double whammy WAB ketchup and HEB snapshot right there.

If they sold CFA sauce in a bucket, I'd buy it, too.

 

[bigkrev]

LTTP on this one OP. A lot of places started using these a long time ago.

Yeah, it may depend on how nice the neighborhood is, but all the Wendy's, Chic-fil-As, and Popeyes and other Fast Food chains not best known for dollar menus use these.

 

[Philia]

Honey Roasted BQ, the GOAT.

I stockpile these like no tomorrow. They're great with just about anything.

Wendy's at least in MN uses the dipping Heinz ketchup.

 

[Aeriscloud]

I really don't understand why McDonalds ketchup is like that still when all of the other condiments are in dipping containers.

 

[Krejlooc]

Wendy's at least in MN uses the dipping Heinz ketchup.

The Wendy's near me uses regular ketchup packets -- the one in the picture above isn't actually the ones they give, because that one has the wendy's name on it. Rather, they hand out nondescript Heinze ketchup packets -- not the dipping ones, but the little regular packets.

I wonder if it's a franchise and that's why.

 

[Walter White Walker]

I prefer

Because you can spread them out like this if you're so inclined.

 

[h1nch]

LTTP on this one OP. A lot of places started using these a long time ago.

Alamo Drafthouse started using these. The first time I tried them I had trouble peeling off the tip (to use as a squeeze bottle) and made a mess. The 2nd time worked a lot better. They're a bit tricky to operate in a dark movie theater.

But if you buy an American Dog (Corn Dog) at Family Mart... the package has mustard and ketchup... There's no way to get one and not the other ;(

[Transistor]

Whataburger ketchup is the best ketchup ever. And their spicy ketchup is god tier.
