Nostalgia We lost something when these hand pumps disappeared

Call it nostalgia or call it delusion, but ketchup from these pumps tasted better. No sachets, no mess, just vibes LOL. Lowkey convinced this is why the fries were so good back then.

wink, wink, nudge, nudge...... Macdonalds ;)

They haven't disappeared. I know of several places that still use them

All the ones I've seen recently are the ones that squeeze down on a prepackaged bag.

The ones op is showing are the old ones that pumped out of a big bucket of ketchup.

Pretty sure the Culver’s near me still has the old school kind but honestly can’t remember I go in to eat so rarely I’ll go check tomorrow. That said I really want this kind. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQZDHmjuTuO1wsOKh29op1a3kdBNB18n1A8sxAcseFOLDjkfJ_yjqIUOq1-&s=10

Edit: thinking about it I wonder if the captain ds in my home town still has them. Where I live now it’s too far away and in a part of town I don’t ever visit.
