ketchup packets

Fast-food tomato pouches

Small sealed pouches containing a single serving of ketchup, ubiquitous at fast-food restaurants and takeout counters.

The standard packet holds about nine grams—never quite enough for a full order of fries, leading to the ritual of grabbing a handful.

The glove compartment was stuffed with old ketchup packets.
