a tomatoey remembrance

[unamaga]

Isn't it a little bit amazing how the Heinz Ketchup bottles have changed in the past five years? The one I'm staring at sits easily upside-down on its cap and says "NEW! FRIDGE DOOR FIT!" which is just blatantly untrue, since it won't fit in the fridge door no matter how I shove it. I miss the days of yore when you had to know exactly how to hit the 57 with the heel of your hand to get the damn stuff to come out. Definitely the most exciting part of eating french fries as a kid - especially since my sister was really bad at it and sometimes splashed her entire plate and shirt when she got angry and hit it too hard.


I miss you, awesome ketchup bottle. :(

OR what about when you had to stick the handle of a knife or fork in to make the air pocket to get it out?

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

GOOD TIMES! Especially since it would always choose that exact moment to unstick and you'd end up with a grossy, sticky handful of ketchup.

The sign of a good diner is one of those on the table.

True facts. Wedge fries just aren't the same without.

I... have one of those glass bottles sitting in my fridge, right now. :)

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

LUCKY. D:

[wolfgrin]

Do they not sell them wherever you are? I find this a major tragedy!

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

If they do, I haven't seen them, only plastic! It's enough to make a girl turn to Hunts. :o

I am SO SORRY! :( I have an incredible fondness for both Heinz and Coke bottles. Luckily, I can get both at my local, run-of-the-mill grocery store.

Oooh, Coke bottles! I miss those things too, even though you couldn't recap them. *wistful*

The new bottles are really heinously ugly compared to the old. I miss glass! D:

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

Me toooo! Come, let us share in a hug of mutual anguish. :(

The trick was to shove a knife in there to disperse the air pocket. ;)

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

YES!

julie heeeeeeeelp me! i'm watching that kiss again. D:

[kashmir1.livejournal.com]

MEEEEEEEL. I fear there is no help!

Inferno was on SciFi earlier. I want coda fic now!

[polyspaston.livejournal.com]

Aww we do still get them, though. I have them. Did you have the ones that said things like, "Makes brocolli taste nice" instead of Tomato Ketchup?

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

For a bit, yeah. Some of them were just plain hysterical.

*mourns*

it's so sad that kids today won't have any of these fond diner memories - instead they will only have "new and improved, easy squirt design" - where's the fun in that? everything has had the life sucked out of it these days...

Wow... really? Realllly?

[unamaga.livejournal.com]
