How much is inside a ketchup packet?

ketchup12sefd.jpgHow much is inside a ketchup packet? No one knows for sure, but there is a general consensus that it is only about one-fifth of the amount of ketchup one needs to enjoy french fries.

Brooke and I decided to find out how many packets of ketchup it takes to fill a bottle.

However, Mohamed, wearing the characteristic green Scout uniform with scarf and woggle, lived up to the Scout motto of “Be Prepared”. He stepped between the knifeman and President Gayoom, suffering an injury to his hand in the ensuing scuffle. The President was unharmed, although the knife ripped his shirt.
