Blast Ketchup and Mustard on Your Hotdog

First came the glass bottle that you couldn't get the ketchup out of, then the plastic squeeze bottle, followed by the upside down squeeze bottle and now, ketchup comes out of a gun.

You'd think this sort of thing would be an American invention, but surprisingly it's an import from our sophisticated neighbors across the pound, selling for £14.95 in Great Britain.

Here in the U.S. a pistol that shoots ketchup and mustard will run you just under $25. Seems like a waste - I'm pretty sure you can get a whole case of condiments for that!

Now too bad we just missed the Fourth of July. The Condiment Gun would have been a great way for dad to blow off steam after he spends an hour swearing and trying to get the barbecue to light.

But, if you're dad isn't into grilling, you could buy him the BeltzBib, so he can take his food and his road rage to the streets without staining his "World's Greatest Dad" t-shirt.

It is bright, plastic red; I can honestly say I've never seen a real firearm that colour.

Those darn glass bottles....hated it! But this gun is pretty stupid, and so is the price tag.

To me, still a stupid idea & some people don't necessarily know all about guns... a quick glance might make them think otherwise.

well the freedom to be shot by any slightly upset person is one of the bastions of your constitution. Why the heck would anyone ever want to live in the US????

Life is not worth living anymore for you.

Cute, but I can see it turning into a giant mess. I'm sure Tide is loving it...ketchup stains would be rampant with something like this around!

This is just silliness. It reminds me of the green ketchup, and the purple ketchup. Anything to get people to keep pouring sugar on their food rather than eating the real stuff!

While I agree with the poster above that it would be an invaluable aid to foodfights (and didn't I see a simpsons episode where bart had these???).... I take your point of view.

Then again, a little bit of sauce is yummy on bbq'd sausages...

Loser cooks 4 course meal. Winner gets to eat it in front of loser. =)
