If you add just a few drops of water to the ketchup bottle and shake, that last little bit comes out a lot easier.

if by 'ketchup' you mean tomato sauce.... stick a straw in the bottle right to the bottom of the sauce.... it lets the air in...breaks the suction.. and hey presto... a few more dashings of flavouring available to cover whatever piece of dead animal (dead from natural causes of course...ie- slaughtered for consumption) you may be imbibing in.....
feel free to aim the now empty bottle at any vegetarians who may be passing... |

| If you are dealing with a ketchup bottle, consider this invaluable advice. Most people tilt the bottle down, then slap the bottom of the bottle to get the ketchup flowing. This is ineffective. It's much better to hit the neck of the bottle. |

You can also try banging with your fist on the wrist of the arm that holds the bottle-- seems to work for me. |

I don't consider this "weird crap", but maybe it is.
1. I not only squeeze the last brushfull of dentifrice from the tube, but I then snip the tube open with a pair of shears and scrape the insides out. I don't brush my teeth with that, though. I use it to polish various metal things around the house that tend to tarnish. It works out pretty well in terms of the interval between tubes, and it keeps everything shiny and smelling minty fresh. Minty fresh.
2. I don't eat enough catsup that I have any set policy about getting the scuzz out of the bottom or off the sides of the bottles. But I do have EVERY food container, including beer bottles, thoroughly washed, rinsed and dried before it goes into the trash or recycling bin.
3. I always wash the restaurant dishes that Chinese delivery food comes in before setting them outside the gate for collection. |

OK, I was going to let you get away with polishing things around your house with toothpaste, but this last one defeats the whole purpose of delivery. Why not just cook the food for them as well before they deliver it to you? |

In this instance, on the intellectual platform, seeing things in proper perspective, detached from immediate sense gratification, one has to decide whether it's better to not waste the small amount of ketchup - or not waste the time it would take to get all the ketchup out. I personally would not waste the time, nor would I buy any more ketchup (unless I wanted to make John Kerry's wife a little richer by buying Heinz ketchup...) |
Ironically, I suspect that the problem is too many parties. |
Zinnnnnnnnng. Nominating this for post of the year. Bookmarked. |

I realise this may leave me open to charges of Freaky Waygook-ness™, but I've always done that. Though when I say "wash", I mean just rinse them clean in cold water and no soap. One of the things that annoyed me about living in Korean apartments was the fairly constant sight & smell of nasty half-eaten jajangmyon & jjampong bowls strewn along the corridors. Particularly the smell in hot summer months. With houses, the problem isn't just that it's unsightly, but it draws stray animals and rodents if you set them outside unwashed. Sometimes the delivery boy shows up before you've finished, but other times the bowls might sit outside for hours.
I use toothpaste as a polish beccause... why not? It's there. I have regular silver & brass polish, but that's only for when something's badly tarnished and hasn't been polished in ages.
These are all the same age, have all seen the same amount of wear, but the ice bucket & coasters have been polished recently with the dregs of a tube of "EPLUS" brand toothpaste. The c0cktail shakers get it next.
Toothpaste also does a serious job on brass.

| Tomato paste works like a charm, too. And fast. I'll never by jewelry cleaner/silver polish again. |

I've got something that needs polishing almost on a daily basis. But, I don't want tomato/toothpaste anywhere near the polishing surface. |
