"Ever do it without wearing mustard on your fingers, your golf glove, your carryon luggage, your phone, your heretofore clean shirt and pants? I would submit that NO you haven’t. Not once."

Fingernails, Dee. Tear off the corner, then squeeze. So Yes.

That clip reminds me of my final complaint about packets. They’re simply unsubstantial. A little puddle of delight that satisfies nothing.

Good job, Ashley. I agree. Mustard is way better than ketchup anyway. Ketchup is way too sweet these days and I use it occasionally on fries but mustard? I use it on burgers and fries and corndogs and hot dogs and possibly even a biscuit. Yes, give mustard its own botte. And now. Great post, Dee.

🤭 you got me with this one Dee! I’m also a mustard lover (many types) something about that tart, vinegar and bright yellowness calls me! And those packets!! I tend to smoosh the contents pretty much everywhere. 🤣

Kindred spirits indeed ☺️

I absolutely despise condiment packets (and do NOT get me started on those butter-blocks), but I always carry a work-around for opening them. I keep a miniature Swiss Army knife on my keyring, which includes tiny scissors; snip the corner of the packet and gently squeeze, mustard distributes evenly :-)

Still, it's a hassle when a bottle is so much easier to use, so yes - for sit-down restaurants, I concur 100% with your take here. It's nice that a local place was willing to work with its customers - that whole 'living local' thing really DOES make a difference ;-)

Practice safe salt: use condiments.

Mustard (in bottles) over ketchup always.

Mustard on eggs! Yay! I have never tried this and now I will. If you have not tried a tiny bit in your homemade tomato pasta sauce I recommend it for a great change of flavour. I fully agree about the damn plastic packets! Preach it to the world.

☺️ I’ll have to try that!

I agree this is odd and maddening. Good read. Maybe "BYOM(ustard)"? You can get small, refillable, travel bottles at CVS etc. and squeeze at will! Just a thought. 😀

Love it! I’ll give it a try

Plastics and over-dressed mustard. . . one of many great tragedies in this modern age. But seriously, if you're paying for a meal, you shouldn't have to rip open the condiment pack with your teeth, or even spread it on your teeth before you can eat your eggs or your burger. My sympathies and this is a VERY funny piece. Thanks for the grins, Dee.
