They&#8217;ve come up with this idea only 37 years after the first ketchup packet hit the scene.  That is an unsubstantiated historical fact of course but the point is I&#8217;m being sarcastic.  Anyone who&#8217;s been a road trip knows the time for a reinvented ketchup packet is long over due. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nThat being said, I am eager to see other innovations arise from this.  For instance:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n-Soda in a tube (spill proof)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n-Pizza in a tube (spill proof)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n-Mayonnaise solid singles (like American cheese but with solid mayo)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n-Non-finger-staining Cheetos, Doritos (Nacho cheese and Cool Ranch flavor), and Cheese Puffs<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n-Combos (original and pizza flavor) with built in laxatives (hours on the road can funk up your digestive system)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd more!  The possibilities are endless!  Food science companies shouldn&#8217;t rest until they have found us the quickest and easiest way to consume massive amount of calories.  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nSincerely,<br \/>\nPoor Lucky Me<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Poor Lucky Me, As an on-the-go American, I cannot tell you how many times I\u2019ve found myself fumbling with a traditional ketchup packet.
