    As if talking on the phone wasn't enough

    You gotta be kidding me. 1) there shouldn't be a market for this, and 2) no one should make a product for this market if there is.

      Really? People are going to do it if the ketchup is in a combination lock safe.

        The new package made national news last night. I didn't realize there was
        such a problem opening the packages. It looks like you'll be getting more
        ketchup, too. I'm all for that. I usually use 3 packets when I get fast food
        fries.

        Which car manufacturer is going to be first to have a Heinz ketchup holder
        built-in?

        I don't know if eating and driving is banned like cell phone use. 2 years ago
        I was driving with the missus on Skyline Drive in VA. We were on a straight
        section and it was 11am. Almost no cars. I was about to chomp on an
        apple when I passed a patrol car going in the opposite direction. The trooper
        waved her finger no-no to me and motioned downwards with her finger. It
        was that feeling when your mom says, "Wait until your father gets home". I
        put the apple down and kept driving but looking in the rearview waiting for
        her to pull around and pull me over for eating an apple. I guess by then I
        would disposed of the evidence. She never showed, and after a few miles, I
        ate my apple.

            I don't need a different form factor, easier opening, etc. but I would appreciate having 3x the volume...

              Just be glad you aren't in the UK where eating ANYTHING while driving ( even stopped at a traffic light) will get you a ticket. They call it "not being in charge of your auto" or words to that effect.
