I saw some at Maruta the other day and I'm sure Uwajimaya has them as well...it would work for the skinny Mae Krua bottles!</p> In Japan, where everything is so darn cute, they sell plastic holders specifically for your upside down ketchup and mayo bottles.

“it’s Suave” is a nice phrase to say. You sound like Julian in Gone-Away Lake.

The hole (nozzle?) has a sort of valve that requires a certain amount of pressure before ketchup will come out. That's all well and good for keeping the ketchup in the bottle when it's in the fridge, but I hate the way it does come out when you use it. The pressure buildup before the valve opens forces you to blast your ketchup at your food, making it hard to distribute a nice even pattern over your fries (or tuna casserole or what have you).</p> <p>How's a guy supposed to draw a good smiley face in his food when that first burst creates such an uneven line thickness? Seriously, it's outrageous.</p> <p>I've never had a problem with the regular upright plastic squeeze bottles - give it a quick, single shake before opening the flip top lid, then squeeze. I still buy that style when I have the choice.</p> Maybe I’m crazy, but I get annoyed by the inverted ketchup bottles.

I’ve never had a problem with the regular upright plastic squeeze bottles - give it a quick, single shake before opening the flip top lid, then squeeze. I still buy that style when I have the choice.

I told them I would pay a lot more money for baking soda if it came with a flip-top lid. (of course baking soda is cheap, so "a lot more" still isn't much.) I'm hoping this comes to pass.</p> I don’t know if this product is out yet, but I did one of those mall market research studies last year on baking soda with a plastic flip-top lid.
