So, which is best? They all have strengths and weaknesses. I prefer the glass bottles in general, just because it doesn't seem right out of anything else. But then mayonnaise should come from a glass jar. And you should use a spoon. Squeezy bottles are handy for quick things like burgers, and for getting straight lines along hot dogs. Fast food only.

As for the sachets? Sad, I know, but I always carry a couple of HP sauce sachets in my bag. I hate it if I go into a caf

I like an escalator because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. There would never be an "Escalator temporarily out of order" sign, only an "Escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience."

Glass bottles. They remind me of a million little cafes. And lukewarm tea in china cups and gaudy fake sea shells on the wall.

Squeezy bottles only if at fast food vans and only sometimes, that's where they belong. Those ones with the pump handles belong in fast food restaurants such as McDonalds and the two should not be confused.

I have squirted vinegar in my eye from a sachet more than once.

Plastic, most definitely. Less memories and less effort.

Glass bottle; for the memories and for the impression that you're in an old-style restaurant. And for some reason the sauce always seems to taste better out of them.

Isn't Not NSSW a double negative?

Sorry. I'll shut up now.

We have one of those squeezy tomato dispensers, my old flatmate Nina was ketchup obsessed so now when she comes back she shall be horrified as it will contain brown sauce.

Yes it is. It upset me too. I couldn't put up "SSW" though, it just looks weird. "!=NSSW" would have worked better, but could be confusing.

Maybe we should get an official acronym for potentially misleading subject lines? "SSW"? "NNSSW"?

Actually, it stands for Not Suitable for School or Work. It confuses me sometimes because I'm more used to NWS to stand for Not Work Safe.

Squeezy plastic, simply because it's cost effective. If I didn't waste as much money on cigarettes, it would be glass. In my opinion, every sauce tastes better out of glass. In fact, glass is the new Jesus. It makes hash browns taste devine and no vivcar can argue otherwise. However, you cannot smoke salad cream. No matter how many times you may try. Therefore, sauce in plastic - tastes fantastic. Just ask my bank balance.

In fact, even my vinegar comes from a plastic bottle. A five Litre plastic container, in fact. I haven't had to buy vinegar since 2001. Which works out as a couple more boxes of cancer sticks, per annum. Me and my lungs have dones the maths..We know the cheap dollop's right.

Mayo in big Tesco Value jars and the big round stainless steel spoons to spoon out big gobs of the stuff onto the tuna that I used to have for my school sandwiches.
Ketchup in plastic bottles and turning it upside down and wacking it to get the ketchup to go to the bottom, then getting frustrated and squeezing it. It farts.
Decanting vinegar from a tub into a little glass bottle to drip it out of.
Mugs of barbeque sauce made, then put over the food while my dad flaps at the smoke, trying unsuccessfully to get it to go the other direction, and failing.

Pointless post of the year.

Oh, and of course getting ketchup all over my jeans on the ferry, ripping the sachet with too much vigour after several unsuccessful attempts leaving me frustrated.

No, I don't know what I'm trying to say. I guess it depends for each thing - and each thing has a memory. It's so typical of VR to get sentimental over sauce and its packaging.

Slightly off topic, but what is it with brown sauce in Edinburgh chippies? I swear they water it down or something. It's not nice. And why can't you get saveloys outside of the M25? Grr... if only ebay sold them.
Oh b*gger, I liked that hat.

I always buy the squeezy bottles - they're just easier to use!! And don't smash is you drop them...


50% of this statement is proven to be false in my house hold.

they smash all over the damn place. my sister has a habit of putting them in the milk part of the fridge at the side, but when you open the fridge, it flies out and lands on a hard floor and goes everywhere. they just slice right open like glass.

4 or 5 times its happened, now. she never ever learns. (i did it once too)





...twice

Ooh, I did the same but more often or not in my mouth. I could never open them, people used to laugh at me so much. Have you any idea how it feels to have to go up to your friends and say, usually in a sheepish voice, "could you please open my sauce sachet?". Not good. I could never to it with my teeth either.
