- ketchup!
- maxerickson 10y agoYou just need to close the lid to move the ketchup, the elaborate gyrations aren't really necessary. Maybe tap it gently on your hand or something.
- drfuchs 10y agoYeah, better change step 1 to "tightly close the lid". Else hilarity and big dry-cleaning bills ensue, as I learned the hard way.

- tyingq 10y agoWith glass ketchup bottles, holding it upside down, then lightly hitting the area where the neck meets the main body of the bottle, with your palm...works well.
- agentgt 10y agoI was told that part of the problem on a new glass bottle of ketchup is the surface tension at the top. So if you break the top layer with a knife or whatever the ketchup will suddenly start coming out. However I never looked up if it was true or not (surface tension) but it does appear to work albeit slightly unhygienic.
