LET THE KETCHUP CATCH UP

Food packaging was once simple. Ketchup came in a glass bottle with a small cap that you unscrew. Now we have plastic package new. Man’s cleverness comes to the fore to give ketchup a novel pour. What clever gadgets we are sold but there are details we’re not told. Just the right squeeze is critical from plastic bottle flexible. Now if it’s straight out of the fridge you must squeeze hard to get a squidge. Then it should be allowed to breathe, inhaling just from underneath. But if you overlook this part the next squeeze with a splat will start and all around receive a share as bright red splatters everywhere. So next time with plastic ketchup give it breathing time to catch up.

Thanks Lindsay. Now huge amounts of plastic waste that's too much to recycle. So it is now exported. We pay a fee to see it goes away. But then where does it really go. Perhaps, by stealth, into the sea. Tony

Thanks Darlene. The packaging industry is using more and more plastic to flood us with trivial novelties to impress us. But it helps to bump up sale price and increase profit. And create more heaps of plastic waste. Best wishes.
