your brain associates small quantities with things that are more valuable
its kind of backwards logic, from an evolutionary standpoint having more of something should make it more valuable as it sates more of your needs, but scarcity tricks whatever mechanism responsible into appreciating a limited quanitiy of something more than it would appreciate an abundance

I always assume cause you out ketchup bottles in the fridge, and it just tastes better at a room temp.

Disagree. I prefer cold ketchup, especially on hot foods.

if there's actually a difference then it could be that the package protects the ketchup from light and oxygen better, which maintains a better flavor

There is some metal in the wrapper, same why canned beer tastes more metallic than bottled.

if you're used to cold ketchup then have a warm packet it'll taste sweeter
