Ketchup Crust

Picture this; you are sitting down to enjoy a nice barbeque - a hamburger, foot long wiener (ha), steak, French fries, deer, or platypus. It smells terrific, charred (or gassed, for all the Hank Hills out there), to perfection. But then you go to get the ketchup. Oh god, its not a good start, since the bottle's label is already wrinkled from the fridge.

Then you try to open it; no! In an awkward snap open, you see it. Dried ketchup crust residue. A piece or two flies out when it snaps open. If you haven't paid attention to this before, look next time. It is so gross. Then, it gets worse, when you go to pour it anyway, and condensed droplets of red water come spilling out which resembles menstruation period blood. Now your dinner is ruined and you go to bed hungry -well, not that extreme, but for that five second period of disgust, you subconsciously contemplate it…
