Tomato Ketchup - Cupboard or Fridge?

No, it says. . .

Imagine a cave with a long entrance open to daylight leading away. In the cave there are prisoners who have been there since birth. The are chained to a wall so that they can only see the back of the cave and not the light from the entrance.

Higher up and behind them there is a fire, kept lit by guards. Between the fire and the prisoners there is a path, which the guards walk along carrying things such as statues and wooden animals etc. And sometimes the guards talk and sometimes they dont. Imagine then that the shadow of these guards carrying statues and animals is cast onto the back wall of the cave by the firelight. The prisoners below can only see the shadows.

Imagine also that the voices of the guards echoes from the back wall, so to the prisoners it would seem like the voices would be from the shadows of the item, and to them the shadows would be reality. They take great sport in guessing what shadow is next, for that is all they see.

Then, one man is released and brought up from the cave to where the fire is. The light from the fire would surely burn his eyes, and he would see the items and he is told that this is reality and the shadows were false. He is then forcibly dragged up the long entrance and out into daylight. The brightness would surely blind him, temporarily at least.

The man has to watch the dark, which eventually becomes the man looking at shadows of people and items, he then will be able to look at reflections of reality in water, and eventually he will be able to gaze at the sky at night. Finally after years, the man can look at the sun and daylight, and learns mathematics and sciences and arts. He is then taken back to the cave and chained to the wall with his old prisoners. His eyes are unaccustomed to the dark so he is once again temporarily blinded. His friends ask him to predict the next shadow but he cannot see them yet and is ridiculed.

The man tries to explain that they are wrong, that reality is outside the cave, but the other prisoners continue to ridicule him and say that his venture out the cave left him blind and dumb. If the man then attempts to force the other prisoners to ascend the cave, they would surely kill him is they could lay their hands on him.

Excuse me, but isn't that just a load of old bollocks?

Alexa Jordan made a funny youtube video about this.

I keep it in the refrigerator after opening it. I'm sure the labels on them tell you to do that for a reason.

This is apparently a mind boggling question for the masses!

I keep mine under the bed in case of a break-in or other emergency that requires instant ketchup access.

 

[pornophile]

I keep all my ketchup packets in the fridge. Yes, packets. From fast food places, because I'm a cheap sum'bitch.

 

[Bearded_Menace]

gotta keep it in the fridge, otherwise it gets all watery.

Try shaking the bottle before serving. That cures this problem, unless you are buying extremely cheap and nasty ketchup.

This woman is brilliant. My points entirely.

So it seems - the popular belief being that tomato ketchup was invented in 1867 by Heinz, and that Ketchups in general originated in the eastern asia.

Yes, yes you are. Now take those packets out of the fridge and store them at the back of a drawer in your kitchen like the rest of us, where the labelling can wear out and eventually form a silver packet of unknown contents.

 

[larss]

I could be wrong, but does it say on the bottle to refrigerate after opening?

It seems that not all brands tell you this, and Heinz only started adding this to their bottles a few years ago.

You, sir, are far less lazy than I am. It's funny, the weird little rituals and customs people share and never question. Mine's in the fridge and will remain there and, if anybody ever asks why, I will crush them.

so why?

crush away
and i too put it in the fridge for reasons i do not know. just always been there

 

[Skyraider22]

[Sparky Shortz]

That's good...because ketchup on a hot dog SUCKS :thefinger

Neither. I dislike ketchup.

 

[Sparky Shortz]
