BestAdvice: How to Tame Ketchup

Ketchup bottles get whacked more than snitches at a Soprano picnic. There is however, a more diplomatic way to get ketchup from a bottle. First, instead of mercilessly hammering the base or side of the bottle, locate the number on its neck (Heinz has the #57, others have numbers as well). Then simply hit the bottle at the exact location of the number on the neck. You'll get a smooth stream of ketchup every time.

So remember, next time you need to embellish your fries, leave the whacking to the wiseguys, and simply slap the numbers on the side.
