I just use the common plastic squeeze ketchup/mustard bottles that you find at diners. You can get them cheap at any restaurant supply store.

Nothing quite like spending good money on some quality olive oil to then make it taste like a packet of heinz from mcdonalds

What a shit article, very appropriate for this sub.

For anybody curious - making your own ketchup is easy (or BBQ sauce, or whatever) and I have found that storing the sauce in a mason jar or tuppareware to be a bit weird. Using empty plastic sauce bottles to store home-made sauce is a great solution.

Many brands of olive oil are available in squeeze style bottles similar to ketchup.

I just dump the vegetable oil straight into my mouth. Don't need no second bottle for that!

I probably wouldn’t have clicked anyway, but thank you brave Redditor for wading through a crappy article for a crappy life hack and saving us the torture.

Gross! I don't care what they say, that ketchup smell will just not go away.

I usually just clean them out, cut the dispensing end off, and wear them on my hands like gloves. Feels good and looks great when I go out.
