If You Keep Seeing Women Squirting Ketchup On Their Counters In Front Of Men, Here's What The "Experiment" Is And Why It Has Gone So Viral

We are gathered here today to talk about one of the most popular condiments to ever exist: KETCHUP.  It is the star of what is being referred to as the "CLEANING UP KETCHUP CHALLENGE."  [...]

I would also agree it's a waste of ketchup. 😕 I don't think the failure to clean up anything properly is a gender related issue, more like an idiot related issue.

Or a "we have more important things to do than this" issue.

[Ban Hammer 12,848]

just another mess made by women that men have to clean up......

I truly hate ketchup.  Mustard is the only condiment worth talking about and I would be a little upset of folks were wasting it on some silly CCP challenge.

Heinz Tomato Ketchup was advertised: "Blessed relief for Mother and the other women in the household!", a slogan which alluded to the lengthy process required to produce tomato ketchup in the home.

 

Amazing how easy they have it now.

Fascinating, Bill -- you're the second VJ member that I know of who dislikes ketchup.  What's your reason?

All I can say is taste.  Back when I was a kid, I loved ketchup, but as my tastebuds evolved, I could no longer stomach it, not really sure why.  I tend to wince when I see someone putting ketchup on their scrambled eggs now.

Interesting.  I still like ketchup, but I don't slather as much of it on stuff as I did when younger.

I did this periodically when younger (thanks for prompting the memory), but now I prefer simple black pepper.

 

Right now, I'm mentally eyeing lunch of Costco chicken salad slathered onto Costco "everything" bagels, which I overbought.

The 'Relationship Test' Plague Has to Stop

 

[...] These tests are supposed to be fun for the girl because it allows her to either show off how great her significant other is or if she's of the self-victimization type, she'll post their boyfriend or husband failing her.

 

But let's be clear here, there's nothing good about these tests.

 

Somewhere out there are a host of women who are being led to believe that their relationships should live or die based on the success or failure of a mundane task.  But to me, that's not even the worst part.  [...]

Count me in as another ketchup hater. 🤮 Too sweet and it masks the flavor of the food. I agree with Dashinka -- mustard is a superior condiment. With french fries, I prefer mayo or aioli. 

 

We have had husband training school here over the past few years, and I have to say he has really improved. He 100% used to do things like smear greasy stuff all over the counters with a paper towel, because he honestly didn't know better. There was always some woman (mother, wife, cleaner) taking care of things for him, and when he didn't have one of those he kind of just... lived in semi-squalor? (I do not like thinking about the "divorce flat" he was living in before he and I were in a relationship.) But now while he still doesn't see how the sink is dirty where I do, he's pretty decent about keeping the kitchen counters and the cooktop clean. I did have to point out how filthy his bathroom vanity was the other day (I was hoping he'd notice) but I will give him his due -- he grabbed a roll of paper towels and the bathroom spray and took care of it with no moaning. Why? Because he's an adult and because he wants to keep his wife happy.

 

I still can't fathom how the ketchup challenge qualifies as news.

Begs the question where you get decent mustard?

Bristol Farms, usually, sometimes Gelson's. Not crazy about the selection at Whole Foods, tbh. Speaking of Whole Foods, I went to the one near my office the other day to get prepared horseradish and they had only one kind! Bananas, since even my local Vons has 6 or 7 different varieties. We ate it anyway, even though what I really wanted was the super hot one, the kind that temporarily makes your vision go dark when you take slightly too big of a bite.

There are a lot of different varieties of mustard out there at various stores.  It is interesting, there are a lot more options for mustard than ketchup.  Look for whole grain mustard.

This is your regular mustard a jar costs about a dollar. Occasionally you see Colemans here which is the brand name but a lot more expensive.

 

I am out of dry mustard which is a good boost to vinaigrette.

 

Dry mustard has the advantage of increasing in heat after being mixed.
