How many packets of ketchup do you think are thrown away and wasted each year?!
Answers: I mean, come on.... there's like a dozen packets of ketchup in my fast food bag that doesn't get used and just thrown away. Is the ketchup industry losing money from this?
oh yes, big waste of ketchup! But the ketchup companies are not losing the money, the restaurants are, they are the ones that buy the ketchup no one uses.
20 gazillion!
they dont lose any money...
yeah thats true and i'm sure they are losing money they have to be.
I bet a lot. I don't know an exact number. But, I know I have thrown them out before...but now I won't anymore.
I would think about 30 million packages of ketchup. 25 million packets of mustard are discarded. Give or take a few million packets.
Enough so that we could pour it all out into a dried up ocean and use China as a french fry.
It's not losing money. But the ecosystem is losing bigtime in this throw away culture we have!!!
Junk Food outlets pay the ketchup industry whether or not you throw your packets away.
And remember, "president" reagan declared ketchup a vegetable....
probably about 50% of fast food packets get tossed...just my opinion based on how much i throw away....kethup industry isnt losing any money b/c fast food places poaid for it so they dont care if its tossed....Fast food industries are losing money that why a lot of places now wont even give u kethup unless u ask and charge you for extra sauces like bbq
Most fast food restaurants have now gone to the pump dispenser to serve ketchup......problem is with the small packets there is not enough in one of them for a bird.....you need to squeeze 10 or more to cover a hamburger or taco.......most restaurants leave a bottle on the table and the fast food joints are all going to a big bottle with a pump dispenser......
I doubt it, you would have paid for those packets as a hidden cost in the food.
100,000 and that may be low
bunches and bunches....i try to not take more then i plan on using...and i make a point to not just toss the unused packs....
maybe, maybe not
In the US people throw away 180million tons of ketchup thats enough to bury 27,000,000 football fields in a layer ten feet deep.
Why do you care?
Ketchup sucks.
