Where the **** is the ketchup?!

08-12-2007, 11:45 PM

In the spirit of better eating, I've cut down the trips to fast food chains to once every 2 weeks. Last time I remembered that when you order chips [french fries] you get Ketchup without asking.

I go to Jack in the Box, order Fish 'n Chips, they have no "salt & vinegar" so you have to settle for Tartar sauce. I also ask for ketchup ahead of time. I get home, there's no sauce, there's no ketchup, but there's a wad of napkins in the bag.

... am I suppose to tear them to pieces and sprinkle them on my chips?! What the bloody hell are people thinking? One used to have to ask for EXTRA ketchup, now they don't put any at all!

Oh no, you won't be able to eat them. Why don't you just have a bottle of sauce/ketchup in the pantry?

Here we have to pay for little sachets of sauce in most places.

I ran out. Grocery shopping is on Tuesday.

You could go shopping on another day. Or is there a law? Or are you such a person of routine your entire month will be ruined if you go messing with shopping day. At least you won't need napkins....unless you decided to go with V's suggestion and did eat them.

The fast food places always forget to put something in the bag, if you go to taco bell and order more then 2 things, one of those things is going to be left out. You must always check the bag.

I havent been out to fast food in a long while.

They do only have two hands. When you order more than two things then one hand has to do more than one thing, or maybe both hands will have to do more than one thing and it's easy to forget which thing each hand is up to.

I just like Tuesdays.

At McDo they never ask if you want Ketchup or Mayonaise, neither do they add any of these. At BurKi, they mostly ask you, can also happen that they dunnot ask and just add Ketchup. (Though I prefer Mayo.)

Ever mixed in some mustard to the mayo? Fantastic for fish 'n chips!

I was at the McD in Sonneberg today. Their cappuccino milk shake is better than that at the McDs in Saalfeld or Ilmenau respectively. It's not so foamy and you really taste the icecream.

And tell you what. After I was finished and decided to have another 500ml of milk shake I had to find out they didn't have any more of it. I was a little disappointed. I can go without ketchup - I don't even like ketchup and hence don't understand why you're so upset - but not without a second milk shake.

kicki · 08-13-2007, 11:54 AM

I still work at McDo...
When I'm in the drive through I never give ketchup unless the client says /he/she wants it. Otherwise, if it's for take away I ask.

08-13-2007, 12:43 PM

Make a difference, Kicki. I know you have it in you.

kicki · 08-13-2007, 02:23 PM

hehe, anything for u babe!

**Ophelia** · 08-13-2007, 02:27 PM

For whatever reason I prefer the McDonald's ketchup to other kinds. Very weird.

**MSFixR** · 08-13-2007, 02:47 PM

The ketchup in those packets is from China so you're better off without it.

kicki · 08-13-2007, 04:42 PM

I think ketchup smells really bad. Especially when it's a lot in a puddle.
I hate to change the big ketchup thingies because it smells.
I like swedish ketchup, like Felix.

**Val** · 08-13-2007, 05:26 PM

I like potatoes with ketchup and beer. There's nothing better.
And after, if you give a kiss in your girlfriend, she will love you forever.

The other day I bought a burger from Jack n the Box, and they gave me no napkins, so phoenix I know how you feel.
