I'm really starting to hate the wasteful packaging, and plastic in general. But if you have to buy cheap you don't get a choice lol.

I'd love some bigger and recyclable squeeze tubes like toothpaste. But designed to be easily rolled up from the end so you can squeeze everything out. And no air going in. And you could open a clamp at the end to refill the tube too. Made from long lasting inert and food safe silicon.

The longer I'm living, the stupider the world seems to become.

My wife did this with her salad dressing the other week and this is but one of the many reasons we each prepare our own salads

Though you could clean a squeezy mayo bottle out by making salad dressing in it

Much more efficient especially if you have a small silicone spatula. Although making salad dressing with the dregs is still a good precursor to rinsing it out for recycling.

Oh yummy. Watery mayo. Just like big brother used to make.

If you add a couple of teaspoons each of a neutral oil and vinegar to what's left in the bottle and then shake it like it owes you money, you've basically just made some more mayo.

If there's less than like 3 or 4 tablespoons of mayo left in the bottle though this wont work as it's relying on the remaining emulsifiers in that mayo to combine everything.

I do that to clean all kinds oft containers (Mayo, Ketchup, Mustard, Jam, Guacamole etc.) and put the watered-down solution into salads, sauces etc. that are liquids anyway.

That sounds like it would taste even worse on fries

At least that is something you normally mix with water as you use it

option a) buy glass containet with big opening (also better in many other ways)
option 2) cut the sucker in half

Hate to break it to you, but i have never seen a squeezy tube of tomato paste, its in cans here.

7

My wife buys tomato paste in a tube and it seems like the weirdest thing to me. Those small cans are usually perfect for my usage.

1

It does, over here. Not many brands, though

1

that's why you buy one small container and then just refill it from a bigger one

I hate this so much. Seen people do that with other food products too. Disgusting.

2

It's perfectly fine if you use an appropriate liquid. I'll use a bit of vinegar to get the last bit of hot sauce out of the bottle. Watery mayo is a food crime tho

Literally everything is wrong with this. Mayo at all, especially the fake shit in grocery stores, but on fries?

1

Yeah, garlic mayo is so much better. Or cheesy chips and gravy is really nice, but also like 1000+ kcal.
