Popular Post T-Dog Posted August 26 Popular Post Share Posted August 26 (edited) You know when you have a bottle of something, say ketchup, or shower gel or mayo, and it's got the opening of the bottle at the bottom, so it's designed to be opened from the bottom, cause you know, gravity bringing the goodies the right way - when that bottle is put in the cupboard or fridge upside down (so the purposefully engineered opening (kw.gif) is at the top, instead of at the bottom) - it doesn't matter if the bottle is full, or nearly empty, why is it upside down. You don't put the butter in the fridge upside down, you don't put a 'right way up' bottle in the fridge upside down, why is my Hellmans standing on it's head. That really shouldn't piss me off. But it does. Far too much. Edited August 26 by T-Dog 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that it says 'suɐɯllǝH' and not 'Hellmans' should be a massive clue. The bottom opening lid is engineering genius, and we have people that refuse to acknowledge it, it makes me want to smash the house up. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it does. Far too much. This is a bone of contention with me and IDKWTCH She's far tider than me. Cleans more. Generally just better domesticated than me. But there are two exceptions. The first one is the insides of cupboards and drawers (her technique is open, throw in whatever it is you're putting in, and shut the door very hard so it all just squashes in0. The second one is anything that comes in a tube or squeezy bottle. It's like living with a(nother) 2 year old. Firstly she stores them in the fridge sideways. On their side. Theirs literally no need. There's a shelf specifically made for condiments. Then when she squeezes them she squeezes them like king kong. Like fairy liquid, you barely have to touch it. The tiniest squeeze and loads comes out. But she crushes it. Every tube or squeezy bottle in the house is crushed. Because that's how she uses all of them. So every time I come to use them I have to do that annoying thing where you take the lid off and kind of squeeze the sides so that air goes back into the bottle so you can use it again. Toothpaste, shampoo, ketchup, fairy liquid, creams. EV ER Y THING And finally she doesn't put the lids back on. Ever. So half the contents are spilling out or smeared around the top of whatever tube it is. It's gross I've asked her nicely. Really nicely. And I've asked her not so nicely. It's literally what you teach a 3 year old child not to do. Nothing has worked Drives me insane 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you don't have to, it just feels right though I think they do tell you to don't they? My parents never stored ketchup in the fridge though and they're both still alive as am I and my brothers. Not sure how nucg actual egg is in heinz Mayo though. I suspect ketchup has much more sugar than mayo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 It’s been done to death and it seems like there’s no right or wrong answer. We keep mayo in the fridge once opened but I don’t think it’s really necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Fairly confident the last time fridge condiments came up, i posted a picture of the small print on the back of a bottle of Heinz tomato sauce that said ‘do not refrigerate’. Then, shortly after that, they changed the labelling to read something like ‘for best results refrigerate once opened’. Proving Heinz had a source at VT.
