Wall Street Journal said:
After observing these and other "compensating behaviors," H. J. Heinz Co. says it spent three years developing a better ketchup packet.

Heinz says the new "Dip and Squeeze" packets will begin replacing the traditional rectangular ketchup packets later this year at Wendy's Co. restaurants. Smaller chains including Chick-fil-A Inc., Smashburger Master LLC, and International Dairy Queen Inc. started carrying the packets earlier this year.

I was in an ambulance, having just been struck on my bicycle by a minivan whose driver was putting ketchup on his fries while driving.

While talking on the phone and shaving no doubt.
 
These dip/squeeze packets are awesome. Seriously, they are really cool.

PS: You know you're at a cheap eatery when they have Hunts ketchup.

Awesome.

Personally I think that "dip and squeeze" sounds a bit kinky... Where was Jill when the new packets were introduced? Getting dipped and squeezed by Jack.
