Plaid lids on jam are one of life's mysteries.
But I'm just amazed that ketchup still comes in glass bottles. You go to some restaurant, and somebody at your table has a sure fire method of getting the ketchup out. At worst, somebody will even resort to sticking a knife in the bottle to help it along.
