Those are likely PET bottles which are highly recyclable. There are a few plastics that are recyclable in large enough pieces. It's just that so much of our packaging and products are just mixed or thin plastics with a lot of printing which are not in any way recyclable.
Now when I say recyclable I mean plausibly do-able at scale, with a decent quality output material suitable as feedstock for manufacturing, not profitably recyclable. I don't think any plastic recycling is profitable.
Even the plastics that are actually able to be recycled generally aren't. I still throw them in the recycling bin, but all the evidence suggests that the vast majority of recyclable plastics specifically sorted to be recycled just... aren't.
Because I often use ketchup and some lime juice as part of the sauce for certain stir frys I will add some lime juice and shake to incorporate all the ketchup into it, and then pour all of that into the next bottle (adding some lime if it gets too thick), repeating until I have a single bottle of ketchup and lime juice and a few almost completely empty bottles to throw away
It might be worth the effort if I actually had the energy for that, but I don't lol. Why do I do this to myself??

I would wash and recycle those so hard.

Would you refill them with off brand ketchup with extra salt and sugar?

nah. I'd refill them with packets swiped from fast food places

I'd skip the middle man and put them in the trash.

Then you failed.
It’s just empty ketchup bottle.
And I use 50% reduced ketchup.
What am I suppose to be angry about?
LdyMeow@sh.itjust.works · 15 pts · 65d
I think it’s the collection of nearly empty bottles? Like, imagine a home fridge with just like 10 nearly, but not quite, empty bottles of ketchup.
Probably.

So it’s an artistic homage to the futility of life?
An we are to experience the anger and rage of the artist when he goes to the fridge and finds 6 empty bottles?

OP is playing a numbers game. You miss 100% of the shots to the mouth that you don’t take.

Fingering the bottle with your pinky goes a long way. This is dead serious and not a period joke, I repeat, this is not a period joke.

What if it's them? The ketchup was coming from inside the house!!!

Are you having some kind of wedding so you can marry the ketchups?

If you're not growing your own tomatoes, preparing them in a way to make your own catsup, and canning and preserving it yourself then fuck you.

6 pack, drank.

You get a pool full of ketchup and you dive in.

Pour up (drank), head shot (drank) / Sit down (drank), stand up (drank) / Pass out (drank), wake up (drank) / Faded (drank), faded (drank)

You never buy a second bottle. Buy the cans and refill the original bottle
WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social · 9 pts · 65d
You can buy cans of ketchup?
thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz · 3 pts · 65d
Yep, that's what I do

Maybe it's a watties thing. Or it's a kiwi thing. We don't get heinz as much here.
terranoid@lemmy.cafe · 5 pts · 65d
That's awfully fancy of you. We just refill it with water when it's halfway done, and we never had to buy another bottle.

AI generated, I refuse to believe anyone would have this much ketchup in their house.

This photo is from 2016 so no, I found it in my Facebook memories.

I refuse to believe someone would have that much ketchup in their house. Photoshop it is.
