#Heinz
o The company is selling a ketchup packet ROLLER that gets every last drop of ketchup out of the packet…the item we didn’t even know we needed!
o It’s small enough to put on a keychain and it’s shaped like a ketchup bottle with a slot on the side that you feed the packet through.
o The roller inside squeezes all the ketchup out and spits the empty packet out the other side.
o It's not automatic. You have to crank it to pull the ketchup packet through. But it does look like it gets about 99% of the ketchup out of there.
o It's also got a tool that cuts the corner of the packet open. There's a loop on one end, so you can attach it to your keys. And you can use it with other sauce packets, not just ketchup.
o They're selling for $5.70, plus $2 shipping. You can get one at HeinzPacketRoller.com while supplies last.
