The ketchup packet has been around for more than 40 years, and complaints about it for nearly as long: too messy, too small, too hard to open. Now ketchup giant H.J. Heinz
Co. is unveiling the first major packaging change to the to-go condiment. The new design has a base that's more like a cup for dipping and also a tear-off end for squeezing, plus it holds three times as much ketchup than a traditional packet."The packet has long been the bane of our consumers," said Dave Ciesinski, vice president of Heinz Ketchup.Oh, and it's also Hyperbole Week.
