Ever have trouble tearing open a ketchup packet? Then there's the fact that you have to open about 30 of them to get enough ketchup to dip even a small order of french fries. Well, Heinz has finally listened to the voices of the people and redesigned the ketchup packet. Power to the people!

If I had a dollar for the number of times I've squeezed a packet of ketchup and it squirted in any direction other than where I wanted it to go... I'd be rich.
