    Totally disagree on the Ketchup…there’s enough vinegar in ketchup to sustain it for as long as it takes you to eat it.

    ShoeShe, eventually that vinegar separates from the tomato part, and it is not pretty and does not smell pretty. For the record this did not happen in my fridge. I found some ketchup in the youth’s stash of food and things that had been there since the beginning of time. It was gross.

    Ketchup never stays in our fridge that long. I live with two boys and a dog who love it!

    I don’t guess we’ve ever had a bottle that has lasted long enough for the vinegar to separate. That’s pretty gross, Cat. By the way…it’s only Heinz for me!!!

    Once again it wasn’t in my fridge. I found it in the youth’s fridge and I had just taken that over. Ketchup doesn’t last that long in my house. Everyone but MG loves it. And we like Hunts, though as long as it isn’t del monte I am usually okay. That del monte stuff is just a wierd color.

    o.k. so this reminds me of the time I bought approximately 30 bottles each of ketchup and steak sauce to use at teller windows for a gimmick to stimulate conversation between the tellers and customers. After they were out a few weeks I boxed them up and took them out around a year later to do again. Then we ate some and I put the rest in the food pantry.

    It must take longer than a year or so for the separation to occur, because it was fine with the exception of the color which was not quite as vibrant as it should have been.

    Grammy, you’ve made me feel bad. I never have time for conversation at the bank…it’s business only…no pleasure. I’m probably one of the grouchy folks for whom you needed the gimmick to stimulate. Guilt trip. I guess I should say “hi” and smile politely when I deposit my check on Friday, huh? I’m usually a nice person. It just seems like by the time I get to the window, I’ve already waited for ten to fifteen minutes for the boneheads in front of me who don’t have their deposit slips filled out when they get to the bank.

    Don’t feel too bad Shoeshe. The gimmick was to get the customers to ask the question, “What’s the ketchup and steak sauce for?” The tellers were then to ask, “Which will you need in your retirement? Ketchup for hotdogs, or steak sauce for you steak?” This would ultimately lead to a referral to me to discuss whether they were doing enough to prepare for their retirement, or if more saving was needed.

    Concerning waiting 10 to 15 minutes, we have a policy at our bank, that if the customer must wait more than 5 minutes, they are given $5. Though, on occasion $5 is given away, it doesn’t happen often. Somehow that seems to satisfy the customer for their inconvenience.

    I remember that Ketchup, it was more than just a slightly off color. It even hurt your meatloaf. And that takes work.
    I was hoping MMIL would pop in to defend her salad dressing!

    On salad dressing…OMG…my dad has this thing about keeping stuff until it is empty. Last month I completely reorganized the fridge and threw away salad dressings with expiration dates back in 2002…6 years ago…NASTY!!! Even worse than that are all the spices. There were some in the spice rack that predated my birth (I’m 27). That’s just wrong!
