reaching for the ketchup, you know theres gonna be a problem getting that essential dollop. Yeah sure, everyone has their own superstitious way of overcoming this - pat on the base, pat on the neck, go at it with a knife etc. What would really solve this ongoing issue would be to redesign the bottle
itelf. Sure, theres the squeezy bottle, and its great....but the glass....oh dear! So i suggest the glass bottles should be fitted with a one-way valve on the base of the bottle to allow for air to get in when open and held upside down. hence the ketchup wold flow freely out of the bottle and allow the popular condiment to be added hasstle free.

I'm not sure this would help. The air vent is usually a solution to the problem of uneven flow (glug glug glug), whereas I think the ketchup problem is just one of slow flow. Any volunteers to go drill a hole in their ketchup bottle and see if it works? No vote until I'm convinced. |

Why not just redesign the ketchup. |

Have a 2 part mix with runny components that get thicker when mixed in the nozzle/mouth of the bottle. They could look quite nice too...a bit like Sheridans liquer. |
