snip:

If you're someone who appreciates the phrase "I put ketchup on my ketchup," you'll be interested — and perhaps slightly horrified — to hear about the latest supply chain shortage to hit the country.

When are factories gonna ketchup?

1. When? Once the cat's up.

2. My former BIL is a massive abuser of Ketchup. He likes put it on EVERYTHING food related

We once went to dinner at a very fancy restaurant in Cape May, NJ. He asked for ketchup. The waiter absolutely blanched. He eventually found a bottle, but you could tell he was in fear of the chef catching him out.

Me? I can't use a bottle of it up before it goes bad.

3. Ketchup goes bad?

[Siwsan]

4. After a few years, I'm afraid to even open the bottle!!

I only kept it, for when my sister and he came over for dinner. Now she's gone so it's kind of a pointless purchase. I found a bottle in the back of the refrigerator, when I cleaned it out, and IMMEDIATELY wrapped it in plastic and tossed it in the trash.

6. If it starts to

bubble when you pour it out throw it away it has gone bad.

5. It's good to keep around for french fries nt

7. I usually use it to make sauce

for my shrimp or certain seafood, mixed with horseradish, lemon, Tabasco, and Worcester sauce. Or occasionally on French fries. Here in KY you better remember to say "NO catsup" when ordering your burger. They put catsup on all burgers automatically. yuck.
