How has Heinz not pushed everyone else out of the portable ketchup market with the introduction of the dip and squeeze packets? I usually get pretty offended when I find shitty, traditional ketchup packets in my to go bag. Discuss...

Shitty = cost less = profit?

Well if you think of places like McDonalds/Burger King that purchase millions of packets save a LOT of money by buying packets vs dip and squeeze, saving $0.05 cents per ketchup packet can save them millions of dollars.

it takes at least 5 packets to access the same amount of ketchup as one dip and squeeze. You don't know efficiency, do you?

But you are dispensing 5 times the ketchup when only one will do in some instances.

There is a reason McDonalds doesn't offer them. If there was a true demand for them McDonalds would adjust their prices accordingly and start offering them. If it's truly that important to you start voicing your opinion with your wallet and only go to whataburger and chick-fil-a.

Who do you think understands the cost effectiveness of ketchup packets better, McDonalds or snake23?

I forget which chain has fancy ketchup, but it's a classy place.
