>He's not alone. Shortages of ketchup -- specifically in packets that often come with your to-go order -- started popping up around the country last summer, and the plot has thickened. How did this happen? It started with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention discouraging traditional, dine-in service at restaurants and suggesting more pandemic-friendly options like delivery and takeout instead.
>Suddenly, restaurants coast to coast were packing up entrees, side dishes, and cold beverages for a steady string of people working from home swirling past in their cars. Those customers expected condiments. So those traditional restaurants jumped into direct competition with fast food places, which had also shut down their dining rooms and upped their orders for ketchup packets.

I know everyone has had to make sacrifices because of the pandemic, but this is too much 'chup bros...

Honestly you people laugh at ketchup hoarders, but you really dont have enough ketchup yourselves. The average person uses 100 packets per day. If you have a family of 42, that's 29400 packets a week. Over 117600 a month. Ketchup packets will be worth their weight in gold in a few months, because everyone needs it.

>faggots trying to imply its this retarded pandemic causing it and not a perfect disaster all last year and this year
The real issue is that there is a global plastic shortage. Texas got fucked by a big storm in the Gulf back in February that just made it all worse, ketchup just got hit harder than other shit.
