Who designed this piece of rubbish?

After several months of ruining my food its about time someone was tried for this useless piece of crap.

I defy anybody to be able to control the amount of ketchup that comes out of these bottles.
If you have got any tips how to get a nice even flow out of one of these bottles then please pass them on.

Squeeze less?
It's not hard really, I seem to manage with mine.

I've tried the tiniest squeezes, I've even had my 6 year old nephew trying it but alas it spurts out all over my cheese on toast in a big dollop.

The old squeezy bottles were fine and you could get exactly the amount you wanted but these fat bottles are useless.
I have to wonder if some of you have actually tried the fat bottles because I refuse to believe that anybody can control the flow out of them?
I was by a hot dog van outside the computer fair on sunday and it was funny watching everybody trying to get the right amount onto their food.

Sorry but if you find that difficult to use properly you must have some kind of severe mental disability.

I honestly don't think you've tried one of the wide fat bottles.

How weird.
My wife has just come home from shopping and bought Morrisons own brand of tomato sauce because the plastic bottle is like the old Heinz 57 one which is controllable.

I'm sorry but how idiotic do you have to be to not be able to get ketchup out of a squeeze bottle?

Obviously never used one of these new bottles.

Its nice to see there are a load of others who know exactly what I'm on about while others have never even used one of these bottles.

I'd say these are easier because you don't just end up with a dollop of ketchup in one place, it's easier to make a line over the food for example.

Theres at least 10 of us in this thread that reckon it does exactly the opposite.
Its a dollop monster.

Retrain motor functions? Don't know, isn't really that hard.
Does make you wonder how people get by in life sometimes..

Because of your big headedness you now have to post a video showing how you are much better than us who can't do it.
Either that or you own up that you haven't actually tried one of these new bottles.

I have, I've been using them for years with no problems.

They haven't been out for years - they're quite recent.
You are thinbking about the wrong bottle.
These came out a few months ago.

Nope, no way. They've definitely been out longer than that.

I think most of you are getting mixed up with the normal plastic bottles and these new great big fat ones that are uncontrollable unless you remove the widget.
By my reckoning the fat bottles came out around August because I took one into work and splattered it all over my breakfast.
I then had around 10 workmates trying to control the flow and everybody failed.

It's easy. Just be gentle with the first spurt and keep a steady amount of pressure on the bottle.

And make sure its the big fat wide bottle.

What do you mean by 'normal plastic bottles'? Can you post a pic?

This is the one thats been out for many years with a thin neck.
The new ones have a neck thats nearly the same size as the bottom of the bottle.

I see. Well I haven't used one of those ones for ages. I have been using the one you mentioned in the original post for AT LEAST a year.

Well post a video of your skills with the widget in for all of us who can't do it.

EDIT -
Seems I owe an apology to those who said they've used these bottles for years because they have been out since 2004.

1 - I never do shopping
2 - My wife always buys Morrisons own brand
3 - She bought the Heinz 57 bottle about 4 months ago because they'd run out of Morrisons own brand.
4 - She went back to Morrisons own brand because the kids were complaining about the fat bottles.
5 - My main argument still stands - I don't believe anybody can control the flow coming out of these bottles on the initial squeeze (unless widgetless).
