Heinz Offers A New Way To Squeeze The Ketchup

Innovative dual-function ketchup packet from Heinz.

Last year, Heinz introduced new ketchup packaging that can be used in two very important ways. Heinz Dip & Squeeze Ketchup can be opened up to dip french fries in, or it can be used traditionally like a squeeze packet. While the convenience is nice, what is important to note here is that, not only is it rolling out nationwide, but it also holds three times the ketchup. No more tearing open multiple packets while your burger and fries get cold!

New BK Stuffed Steakhouse Burger Looks Wrong Way

New BK STUFFED STEAKHOUSE Burger Spices Things Up from the Inside Out with JalapeÃ±o and Cheddar.

Well, I’ll admit it’s not the first thing I thought of when I saw the new BK Stuffed Steakhouse Burger, but it did remind me of Eddie Murphy’s classic sketch about a McDonald’s burger. His “house-burger” that he described had peppers and onions integrated throughout the patty, while Burger King’s new offering stuffs the patty with jalapeno peppers and Cheddar cheese.

Look forward to a television campaign starting January 17.

Where Did All The KFC Wet Wipes Go?

Wet wipes. Moist towelettes. Wet naps. Whatever you call them, those pre-packaged napkins soaking in solution come in handy all the time. From gas stations to fast food establishments, the real pocket squares are there to tidy up messes. And KFC is trying to say they are unnecessary for their sauceless Hot Wings. With a contest. Yes, a wet wipe contest.

For some odd reason, there doesn’t appear to be many wet wipe-themed contests, but KFC looks to change that starting today. To promote the sauceless Hot Wings, KFC is running a contest asking contestants for “ideas for repurposing KFC’s ‘leftover’ wet wipes.” Finalists will be chosen to produce videos that will be available for viewing starting January 20 on KFC’s YouTube channel.

Not only will five finalists each get $500, but more importantly, they will each receive one thousand wet wipes. (Brand to be determined.)

Smell Like White Castle

White Castle Ceramic Scented Candle

What do a candle and a steaming White Castle burger have in common? Nothing, except they are both only good after dark. While late nights and a belly full of booze may be required for admission into a White Castle dining establishment, the White Castle Ceramic Scented Candle doesnâ€™t require an altered state to be used. Especially useful for Left-Coasters who must endure In-N-Out Burgers to satisfy that burger craving. < /sarcasm >

Napkin Dispenser Saves A Trip To The Fast-Food Joint

Stainless Napkin Dispenser

There can any number of excuses in order to justify a fast-food trip: accessibility, speed, price, napkinsâ€¦. Wait. Napkins?

For the few people who frequent fast-food establishments to stock up on napkins, there is a better way. Without resorting to thievery, you too can mock up your kitchen to mimic your fave fast-food eatery. The Stainless Napkin Dispenser looks remarkably similar to one that may be found in any restaurant across the land. Spring-loaded and shiny, the familiar tabletop adornment dispenses napkins from either side. At a price of only about ten bucks, it’s reason enough to avoid the greasy burger shack.

Although, the salt and pepper shakers are not included, so maybe one more trip is in orderâ€¦
