Heinz 'Dip and Squeeze' Container Aims to Conquer a Major Frustration of Chowing Down in Transit

MK-BP127_KETCHU_G_20110918191221.jpg

Some people rip off the corner of the packet with their teeth. Others, while driving, squirt the ketchup directly into their mouth, then add fries. Some forgo fries at the drive-through all together to keep from creating a mess in the car.



I could NOT believe what I was reading on my Yahoo face page
in BIG BOLD PRINT...HEINZ CORP
is advertizing their new ketchup packages to make it easier to

EAT & DRIVE !!!!!!!

Why is this ANY DIFFERENT from looking down and texting or dialing on a persons cell phone while they are driving ?????

I am totally at a loss for words for this advertising.

I agree that eating and/or drinking (ANY beverage) while driving is distracting.

Yes they will try anything if they think it's gonna make them money. There's nolonger a thing called morals when it comes to business. It's really sad.

I wonder what they would think if
one of their kids or grandchildren were
hurt or killed by someone in the process
of them using their ketchup !

I saw the ad on TV last night and didn't realise they were talking about driving -- I was happy to see the new pack because I can never get them open even when I use two hands. I'll have to look at the ad more closely -- I thought of walking and munching

they have specifically geared this ad for driving and eating.
