Yup. Gonna get fast food soon and try that now.

Mind. Blown.

I'm part Polish and Ukrainian and one of my friends said something along the lines of "You guys do everything completely backwards". On the outside I was laughing but on the inside I was thinking "****."

Is that true of Polish ancestry? I never knew. But that does explain a lot. I always take the longest road...

Re: Off Topic 2012

Seriously? Mind blown, game changer?

I've been doing that my entire life. I was under the impression that everyone does that.

I've never seen a ketchup container used like that in 25 years of moving around the US. I also love fast food.

I, also, have never seen that done in my 20 years of eating fast food.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Well here in Cali (LA or SD doesn't matter I've seen them in both cities) we have those ketchup containers at most fast food places.

You take your little cup and over by the self serve soda fountain they have little ketchup fountains to fill up your cup.

I was shown opening it up like that so that you could get to all the ketchup when I was a kid and been doing it ever since.

Dunno where the hell you guys are at that you've never seen nor heard of this.

Not all fast food places have them, but I know places like In N Out and McDonalds do.

This is a game changer.

I feel like we've been lied to our whole lives.

I seen this about a month ago and magically all the fast food restaurants switched to packets -- now I'll never be able to impress my friends

Oh, I think we've all seen the cups and stuff. Just never seen that little trick, ever.

Re: Off Topic 2012

I recently learned about the trick also. SMH.

Re: Off Topic 2012

I think I've found my "in" with business groups/meetings.

I'm young enough that I'm still "green" and most elder businessmen seem to have some kind of mentoring complex so they're always friendly with advice and words of wisdom and taking you "under their wing" so to speak. We'll see if it actually works down the road.


Anyway, had a business meeting this morning on 1031s/Deferred Exchanges. Pretty helpful stuff.

Re: Off Topic 2012

I guess I'm more mind blown by people using those little cups all this time and not noticing the little pleats in it, all around the cup and it never occurred to them to undo all those pleats.

I guess as the old saying goes, you learn something new everyday.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Honestly, its never occurred to me either. Not that I'm dipping burgers into ketchup so I guess I've never needed a bigger surface area to dip from.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Only Arby's and Long John Silvers still have those cups in my area. Both places where the trick is much used and needed. Horseradish Sauce and Tarter Sauce, respectively. Not that I frequent those places much...
