Many people who visit fast food chains often bring back leftover ketchup sachets with them to maybe put on something they cook at home. However, a content creator named Sarthak Sachdeva decided to fill up a 2.5 litre jar with free ketchup taken from fast food chains.
He first visits McDonlad’s where he collects a few sachets of ketchup from the fast food chain enough to make an employee laugh. Following this, he goes to KFC where he scores 25 sachets of ketchup. However, after squeezing in all the packets they had collected, they couldn’t even fill till the halfway mark.
Knowing that sachets weren’t going to cut it, they went to Pizza Hut, where they set bottles on the table instead of little packets. He used up 5 bottles of ketchup in his 2.5 litre jar. This puzzled the service employees and they had to refill the bottles.
Sarthak Sachdeva’s mission was eventually successful as he could fill his 2.5-litre jar. He uploaded the clip with the caption, “Aha tamatar bade mazedaar." His Instagram reel has garnered over 11 million views and thousands of comments.
One user commented, "Vijay Mallya Ka Beta Aa Gaya". Another wrote, “Make some red sauce pasta now”. A netizen questioned “Itni sauce ka abh kareinge kya bro?" (What are you going to do with all that ketchup?) A user wrote, “Can I get sauce for my Idli?"
What used to be thought of as an American condiment quickly spread to different parts of the world. Many people think ketchup is an insult to gastronomy, while others won’t eat anything without it. Tomatoes that are processed, homogenised and then made shelf-stable with vinegar, a lot of sugar and salt to create ketchup has been a marvel for generations.
