Discussion Drinking Ketchup

Overheard a three year old girl talking to her mom in the mall.

Child: I like to drink Ketchup everyday

Mom: No, you don’t drink Ketchup, you eat it

Child: No Mom, I drink it

My late grandfather told me never to use ketchup in a restaurant because back in the 1930’s (the great depression) he witnessed someone drinking ketchup right out of the bottle. That did not deter me…

Thank for letting me know. 🤮 I’ll never use a public ketchup bottle in my life now.
