- proggy 6y agoIf it’s being used for certain mayonnaise packaging in Europe (where mayonnaise is the “ketchup” of the continent), I can’t imagine lack of ketchup market penetration is for cost reasons alone.

- vxNsr 6y agoAsking honestly how does this work? If I as a producer need to manufacture 100g of something, whether it’s all consumed or not I still need pay to produce all 100g, what benefit is there in paying to produce something that doesn’t get consumed?
- ComodoHacker 6y agoLet's say all consumers collectively eat X kg of ketchup per month. If 10% gets left on the bottle walls, they are buying 10% more, thus ~10% more profit for producers. It works the same way we are using much more laundry detergent and toothpaste than necessary.
