Does ketchup belong on a fridge shelve or door?

Forums:

And what about the rest of your refrigerated condiments?

IMO, all condiments belong on the door ... occasionally some stray to a shelve.

Cop question.

It's shelf.

 

And it's shelf.

For someone who professes to be a progressive liberal, I find it disconcerting that you, not being a condiment yourself, would impose your will on your ketsup, mustard and the like. Let the condiments be in control of their own contents. 

Self determination. Let 'em be where they want to be.

On door, right before mayo, mustard....alphabetical and all....

 

 

Just kidding...that would be just crazy!....i only aphabatize my spices, ya know, like a normal person

what type of person eats ketchup?

^^^

Aye. Ketchup - the Devil's condiment.

I love ketchup, it goes on the door with my mustard and bread&butter pickles. Mayo goes in the back of the fridge, at the coldest location in fridge

On the door, somewhere around the mustard and hot sauce.

64oz Heinz needs a shelf

Like mayonnaise and mustard, it needs no refrigeration....

Hot sauce in the fridge?

^^dip your ff in it...(sounds gross, just try it)....but, only if its been refrigerated....go ahead, leave your ketchup and mustard out at room temp, no problems, but, keep the mayo refrigerated!

Nothing wrong with mayo - it's just oil, vinegar, and egg.

They all go in the door of the fridge that’s what it’s designed for.

Step One: The Door

In our temperature performance tests, which occur in climate-controlled chambers where we crank the heat up to 110 °F, temperatures on the door climb a couple degrees higher than the main compartment. That’s too warm for milk and eggs, despite the fact that many refrigerators have gallon door bins and egg-shaped compartments that seem like ideal places for these items. Instead, reserve the door for items that can handle warmer conditions, including the following:

• Butter
• Condiments
• Juice
• Cooking oils
• Soda
• Water 

Hot sauce in the fridge?>>

Certainly, it makes it easier to find. 

Wouldn't the better question from you be why is Trail leaving his mayo out of the fridge, or do you do that also?

i say door.     I try but my condiment stuff ends up everywhere in the fridge.

>> Certainly, it makes it easier to find. 

As someone who spends time looking for hot sauce, I'm switching to your side now.

>> Wouldn't the better question from you be why is Trail leaving his mayo out of the fridge, or do you do that also?

I'm on team-Canyon - I don't consume mayo. I have no idea where it is in my house/fridge.

Anyone who doesn't put mayo i the frig should be admitted

I'd like to know exactly how many oppose mayo around here?, we should do a poll. Also i find it interesting that some people here have such a dislike even hatred for ketchup.

Now the oil in the fridge is a new one for me, i have mine stored in the spice cabinets.

It depends on the size of the ketchup container. The smaller ones go in the door, but the big ones live on the shelf.

Mayo lives on the shelf, front and center.

We do not discriminate against condiments in our household. For heavens sake, they aren’t people. 

Food is merely a vehicle for condiments.

It's shelf.<<<

^ I had it spelled this way first, then changed it ... does that count for anything?

I kidnap extra packaged condiments from ski area concessions on sight ... have giant tubs at home filled with packets.

I bet you do.

Hot sauce on the table, Ketchup & BBQ sauce in the cupboard. Opened mustard in fridge door with opened horseradish, pickles, capers, mayo. 

 

Miracle Whip is for psychopaths and belongs in the garbage.

Seltzer on the door.

>>Cop question.

Friday night I was having a real tuff time to put a pint of water, cranberry juice & a quart of half & half in a cheap refrigerator door of a Residence Inn 8 miles from here.

{Not proud to say; that I think I am on-the-lamb since around Father's Day. A family member is having some tuff times & is taking it out on me. So when this happens I pack my stuff & split to avoid any more negativity}

The fucking water, half & half and cranberry juice wouldn't even stand straight up on the major front shelf at 2am

F-me, they kept falling on the door shelf too!

I had NO WEED & still have no weed, so its tough to laugh about.

Someday I will chuckle a little... I hope

I Never buy ketchup-- i might have a few packets around Cupboard

>>>>>had NO WEED & still have no weed

 

There's no excuse for that in this day and age.

Someone nearby should hook a brother up.

Yup. Thank you sir.

Everyone in my area of Earth,  knows I need a joint. A heat wave today, pushed things out a day or two.

Many a ski bum have pretty much lived on packets of this and that taken from base lodges. It's a tradition! 

I didn’t know skiers could live on ketchup packets that’s crazy I saw Larry David eat edible panties when he was stuck on a ski lift though. 

Edible panties > Miracle Whip

(though the two somehow seem related...)

Some ketchup packets, some half and half creamers, salt and pepper to taste and you have a cream of tomato soup. Add crackers and you're living the good life. 

i have never refrigerated ketchup in my life

Neither has any restaurant ^^

for the record, I refrigerate mayo, ketchup, and mustard.  Just to clear up any confusion....

All condiments are refrigerated.  Are we not civilized?   Not refrigerating mayo?  What?  Not knowing where mayo is in your house?? Paleeze..  

I shelve condiments so that their shelf life is longer.  Fucking animals....   

My fridge is so packed with shit that I can't even fit the real food.  I have at least 4 kinds of pepper paste --- turkish, armenian, portugese, thai....of top of the chili paste I make.   Never mind the other bought and homemade sauces & pickled veggie(turnips, okra, carrots, onions....).

 

   

We didn't have any ketchup to go with tater tots someone brought to an after party at our place... never heard the end of it lol. 

And it's not that we don't like ketchup, we were just uut.

(we keep it on the shelf, fwiw).

 

>>>Hot sauce in the fridge?

 

yep, hot sauce definitely goes bad, even if it has preservatives.  Just last week a friend offered me some Tapatio that he kept in his pantry... it's color was noticeably darker than normal and it tasted nasty (just tried a couple drops), so I had to suffer through eating an otherwise perfect breakfast burrito without any hot sauce. 

:(

(((when first and third world problems collide.)))

How come nobody ever talks about the second world?

>>>>How come nobody ever talks about the second world?

Because the second world is a bunch of commies. They are miserable by choice, so no one else gives a shit about them. 

Ketchup turns the same color as spent hot sauce if left out.  

Look at it this way.  Donald Trump is our president.  Yes -- I'm looking at those of you that can't even manage their condiments.

     

I'm good now ~

I did learn that water bottles & ketchup that fall in refrigerators; are an inherent problem for the cheaper/cost effective verities only.

Exactly Hall ! Both Tapatio and Other Hot Sauces Go Bad Quickly ! TOSS Em !! They Are Cheap Enough To Replace.

And if there are Mayo packets along with the ketchup, it's heaven .... getting to chug 1k island

The only problem with packets is germs ... since one has to effectively touch most of the exterior of said packets.  Napkins are much easier to use on a condi bottle or pump.

So, nobody else keeps it in the nightstand?
