You wanna know how to get the ketchup out of the bottle without having to slap the bottom of it or use that godawful knife?
It's not noticeable to the naked eye, but there is an air-tight seal inside the bottle's spout (I don't know why it's there, pester Heinz about it), and slapping the bottom will put more pressure into the seal, thus making the problem worse. And knives don't fit too well into the spout either. So, how do you get rid of that annoying seal that keeps you from enjoying that tasty condiment?
Well, there's a certain place on the bottle where the number "57" is repeatedly embedded into the glass in a full 360 degree circle around the bottle. (No, it's NOT the logo at the top! It's more around halfway to 3/4 of the way up the bottle. The 57s are clear-colored, since they're embedded into the glass, so they'll be a bit hard to see.) If you tap the 57s just right, the air-tight seal will break and the ketchup will pour quickly, thus saving you precious time from the other horrendous methods that are used to get the stuff out. _________________ Toonami visual schedule - UPDATED AUGUST 2, 2015

That's not just for Heinz products. Even if there's no seal, my family secret is to hold the bottle horizontally and tap it. This pushes the bottom forward, leaving room for air to get in through the top. Neutralize the pressure differentials, my friend. _________________ Krogoth uses Berserk.
