It all came to my house. My son in law gave me 12 assorted bottles for Christmas. He hates it and thinks I eat too much of it. I showed him on Sunday that I have 4 left. It is not going to make it until next Christmas.

Geeze now I kinda feel bad for all the packet I’ve thrown out. I hate ketchup, so any packets I get go straight to the trash.

The country of Belgium lives on Fries and Mayonnaise. Ketchup is hardlyused with “Pommes frites”.

Darn it. It’s not ketchup, it’s tomato gravy!

George always did the opposite.

I forgot about that one.

Probably because the shows are so heavily edited these days, many parts are missing (don’t know if that part is missing).

It’s hard for me to watch rebroadcasts because much is cut from the original versions to squeeze in more commercials.

Like Newman sliding the black Acura NSX on his way to eat the muffin stumps. I noticed that was missing years ago, in what I saw on TV.

Whenever I ask the clerk at a fast food restaurant for ketchup, he/she almost invariably gives me a huge handful when I only need 2 or 3 packets.

Wendy's in our area won't give you ketchup packets unless you ask for them. When you ask for 4-5, you'll get 6-7. ???

Still seems heathen-y to me. The only acceptable condiments for french fries are salt, malt vinegar, ketchup, or cheese.

This is how ‘fake’ shortages start. Although the last couple of attempts have not been successful. The ‘coin’ shortage a few months back; the ‘meat’ shortage etc. Although the Toilet Paper one sure worked. What does that say about us? :O

>>ont think I have ever eaten at WB but I would have thought they would be in the gourmet category like FiveGuys or Fuddruckers. Are they really that bad?<<

Tasteless patties as thin as a sheet of paper. They just throw a bunch of crap on, like the pointless jalapenos, to mask how bad they are.

They are not quite MacDonalds.

Fries and onions are another way.

Exactly. Anyone with a brain knows that you dip your fries in BBQ sauce.
