I’m sure you’ve thought to yourself on more than one occasion–maybe even today–that what the world needs is a website which catalogues the packets of condiments that you get at fast-food restaurants. (You know, the little plastic envelope-like things that contain ketchup and mustard and stuff.) Maybe it’s crossed your mind that there are so many of these packets that such a site would have to let you sort them by type, by brand, and even by country of origin. Maybe you’ve even thought that you should build such a site yourself but just haven’t quite gotten around to it.<\/p>\n
Okay, you probably have never thought any of that. Regardless, such a site exists: The Condiment Packet Gallery<\/a>. There are currently images of 724 packets on display there; you can see them all at once by clicking here<\/a>. You can look at them by type and by category with the little menus near the top of the window. Apparently you get a free pin if you send a packet that isn’t already represented, but I’m not sure whether the offer still stands since the item listed under the “NEWS” heading is dated early 2005. However, I intend to find out; Japan is under-represented and I’ll try to rectify that after our next trip. (I don’t think I’ve ever seen a condiment packet it Japan, but on the other hand I haven’t been in any fast-food restaurants there either.)<\/p>\n It kind of makes my stomach sour just to look at them all. Thanks go to my long-time friend Gloria for bringing this site to my attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m sure you’ve thought to yourself on more than one occasion–maybe even today–that what the world needs is a website which catalogues the packets of condiments that you get at fast-food restaurants.
