Whoever made these tiny doses must not be from the midwest. Today, I got this craving for fries and ketchup. The cafeteria here has a great big pump device that dispenses about a gallon per glug. I can use about two pounds of ketchup per order of fries. Well today the pump was broken, and I was forced to open 300 little packets of the red heaven. My fingers hurt.
Ok, rant done. I love ketchup.

I agree. Fries are simply a ketchup-delivery device.
Those packets are horrible. They contain enough for one to two fries, and that is it. They get everywhere too. I hate the mustard ones even more. What is it in the properties of mustard that causes it to adhere to every surface in a 5 foot radius?? I can’t use mustard without getting it on whatever it is I’m wearing.
I feel like i am stuck in a Seinfeld episode.
What’s the deal with ketchup packs?
Dont make fun. This is not a joke. You don’t understand how much distress this caused me. I wait for fries to come right out of the frier then order them and get out to the ketchup dispenser quickly.
Opening all the packets caused my fries to get cold. Ugh. So sad. It ruined my lunch. Now you must all be subject to my bad attitude and complaining until I get home and can complain to my wife.
My wife just does not understand. When I showed up in her life, she did not even keep ketchup in the house. Now, we buy it at costco every two days or so, it comes in five gallon buckets.
Really, ketchup stock goes up each time I visit Idaho.

Even though small, ketchup packets are the way to roll if you are eating while driving. I learned the trick to proper packet use from the movie Tommy Boy. Put a fry (or several) in your mouth and then suck ketchup from the packet like an energy gel.
Don’t forget that if you get bored you can put them on the ground and stomp. It takes a while to develop aim but so much fun.
I like a touch of ketchup on fries but prefer them with out sauce. Unless were talking fry sauce, then all bets are off.
CaptainCanada is a chef so he has absolutely no sympathy for us poor suffering slobs. He just laughs as we suffer. People who work in restaurants have the least amount of sympathy for people like us.
plain fries > fries with mayo > fries with ketchup
I really don’t get the fascination, it just makes the fries all soggy and icky tasting…
LOL, I once stepped on one of those little mustard packs with ski boots on. Well you can imagine, it went everywhere, I was finding mustard in my ski pants and boots for weeks !!!
McDonald’s french fries with McDonald’s ketchup…it may be the single best paring of food and condiment in the world!
Being in Florida, you have probably not had the pleasure of fries from In-and-Out Burger. They make McD’s fries look like cat droppings after an all night mouse feast.

The sweet and sour sauce for the nuggets gives it a serious run for the money. Sometimes I wish I could eat this stuff and not get an instant stomachache.
Go deluxe: fries w/ skins still on, liberal use of vinegar, coat entire fry boat in ketchup and revel in messy hands. Dunking is for amateurs (as is light-colored non-plaid clothing).
I always find it under my fingernails. They are yellow for days!
We must be related.
Nothing irritates me more, than when I ask for a “HANDFUL” of ketchups and they give me like 3 or 4! LOL

I lived in CA for a bunch of years so I know In-and-Out Burgers. They’re good, but I don’t quite get the cult following…I just never found them to be that good.
…and since we’re talkin’ ketchup here, their ketchup doesn’t compare to Mickey D’s. It’s the whole combo that works best for me. 
I am Canadian. we dip our fries in mayo. Or smother them with cheese curds and gravy. It is called poutine and it is manadatory eating when you visit Canada.
My wife uses five…yes five packets when she gets fries from McD’s
She opens a little hole and puts a line of ketchup on each fry…one by one…it is so painful to watch
