I’m sick and damn tired of buying BBQ sauce only to find out it has a twist top. No one uses this twist tip shit and hasn’t in a hundred years. Ketchup and mustard figured this shit out before I was born so why can’t BBQ sauce? Cheap pricks is what it comes down to. —Squirt

You could always try experimenting with your own blend of ketchup, various sprecialty mustards and exotic vinegars, you know, if the technology of the twist cap continues to present an unsurmountable challenge.
And the Lame Bitch award goes to……..
Take another look. You can get BBQ sauce in squeeze bottle format.
This bitch needs some of this:

OP don’t you know there’s more important things to worry about in this world?
You are bitching about what is keeping the sauce in the vessel rather than bitching about the chemical additives it contains? YOU ARE A FUCKING MORON!
There is probably enough wax-derivatives in that shit to make another plastic container.
uh… So why not buy it BEFORE you need it an upend it into a squirt bottle?
Everybody. Wins.
Koda not all BBQ sauce contains additives, you know. I make my own from scratch and it’s all natural and all-awesome (With the exception of my addition of sriracha which IS full of salt and god knows what else.. but there isn’t much in there)
Hm. Maybe I’ll just bottle the shit and sell it at the market.. In squirt tops of course 😉
BBQvolution!
OP. You’ve got some serious issues if BBQ sauce pisses you off.
Great, BBQsauce Snobs. Whats next.
Hint, if it comes in a glass bottle, it is non-squirtable.
Lol right, because it would have taken way too much time and effort to check at the store what kind cap comes on a bottle before you buy it. Pretty sure the only BBQ sauce that comes in non squeezable is Bullseye. Pretty obvious when you pick it up that it’s not a squeeze bottle, cuz you know, it doesn’t fuckin bend when you squeeze it. maybe take an extra 2 seconds next time, would have taken less time than writing this stupid bitch.
Wow! Just…. wow!
I smell a Human Rights case in the offing, where’s the former LG when you need her, oh the humanity!
I heard she’s doing a cameo as Oprah Winfrey in the upcoming Blaxploitation epic “Percy Paris’ Baadasssss Song”
So this was mine and I changed my picture to the BBQ sauce in question. They are two bottles of the same kind and brand, but only one has a twist top. One was bought for $1.50 with a twist top, the other was bought with 3 others from Freshco for $1.
So I am aware it can be purchased in squeeze top format, thats only if the packaging was not changed since last purchase. I am also aware of the texture difference between glass and plastic, thanks TJ and Kegg. And once again looking at it in the store would have made no difference TJ. I’m not stupid, just horribly misguided by Kraft. I did like crayons suggestion but would have had to put the plan of keeping an old bottle in place first. Also, BBQ sauce and funnels arn’t friends. My solution is to simply switch the caps, so I’m actually pretty smart. I won’t clean the top first though because its the same flavour.
There is also not anything else more important to worry about in my life. I’m a happy guy with very few problems or complaints. I also know its a first world problem I’ve encountered as I live in a first world country.
I missed Koda’s comment. Please Koda, explain how one can live a life additive free? Do you have a sprawling vegetable and livestock farm? Do you make your own preserves and harvest and refine your wheat? If not, we are both riddled with additives and preservatives. The difference is I’m not in denial.
You disappoint me Kirk I thought you were a “Bullseye” man. : P
kirk, wheat?
I, for one, don’t touch it.
And you don’t need to own your own livestock farm to know where the good ones are. Bruce Family Farms in the valley is a very good example of a livestock farm done well.
No Reg, you cannot pass judgement because I indulged in on-sale BBQ sauce. I actually mix a few kinds together in a bowl prior to BBQ’ing. Its odd, but I always get good reviews. Kraft is at the bottom of my list, except when its $1 a bottle.
Straight up Crayons, I got yo back whenever you need it. I may not have expressed that thought properly, but I was just getting at the fact that damn near everything we consume is full of additives and preservatives. Even the fruits and veggies we consume are pumped full of pesticides. You can’t avoid it, not even the Amish can.
