I don’t do this with ketchup, but I do it with Taco Bell hot sauce. ---

When I was a Census enumerator my partner was… interesting. He’d fart and waft it up so he could smell it. He’d also take the lids off of the little tubs of catsup when we’d go to Carl’s Jr. for a bite on the road and lick the catsup out of them. I’m sorry, but there are things that are Just Not Done. ---

> [@wheresgeorge04](#): > > Wait, what? Yes, everyone on Earth except you eats raw tomatoes, unless allergic Untrue, and we’ve done threads on this. A number of us love tomatoes in nearly all forms, save for raw. And yes, we’ve tried the wonderful, home-grown varieties too. Something in the taste of a raw tomatoe is very unpleasant to me. Marinate it in vinegar and oil, and it goes away, or cook it and it does too. Sun dry them, and I’ll eat them by the handful. I try raw tomatoes several times a year, to see if I’m over it. But I never am. ---

It is rare for me to eat while driving - I have enough trouble not getting food on me when I’m not driving. Eating while driving will guarantee that I end up with something on my shirt. French fries with ketchup definitely will end up somewhere on me. ---

So? Wear the kinds of shirts I wear and no-one will ever notice. 😃 ---
