On the ketchup shelf in the supermarket. A 1.35 kilogram bottle costs €3.60. A 1.2 kilogram bottle costs €3.88. They're both your basic Heinz variety. Both come in an easy-squeezy plastic bottle. So why is the smaller one more expensive? Because the bottle is sold upside down - cap at the bottom. I bought one of the cheaper ones and

I HATE upside down bottles. They annoy me. Especially squeezy jam. You can never get all of the foodstuffs out of the bottle.

IMHO ketsup, yellow mustard and honey are the only things that should be in squeezy bottles. Plastic jar the rest to get rid of glass if they want to but LEAVE IT RIGHT SIDE UP!

Why are they more expensive? Cos people are stoopit.

My boy's favourite food group is ketsup. Hot dogs, nuggets, waffles, pan cakes, toast at a push if no lemon curd or grape jam...

I doubt this boy will ever have prostate issues!!!

We use a 64oz (1.8k) bottle about every 2 weeks or so. Mind, he is not the ONLY one who uses it but is the majority comsumer.
