We’ve all done it. Or thought about doing it. Or seen it been done. The question is, do you do it? Are you a ketchup packet licker? You know what I’m referring to. You get a burger at a fast food restaurant, or a diner, or grab a burger and fries and take them home. [...]

Could cilantro be the bacon of 2009? Food bloggers and online foodies know the obscene levels of obsession and attention that bacon received online during 2008.  But what will be the bacon of 2009? Is cilantro on the verge of breaking out and becoming an internet obsession?  The creator of a site I just discovered [...]

The other day, I received a small cardboard box in the mail.  A small sticker affixed to the side told me to expect “Pizza Zing!”  I was, as one would expect, excited.

Idea:  Take the Big Three pizza toppings from any NYC pizza-eatery (Parmesan cheese, oregano, red pepper flakes) and combine them in one easy-to-use container.  [...]

I was listening to NPR a couple nights ago on the drive home, and the topic was the changing shape of certain jars of consumer food products.  For example, the once-flat bottom of a jar of Skippy peanut butter is now concave, so that it dimples inward.  This change does one main thing – reduces [...]

The Wall Street Journal has a video up of the newest Heinz ketchup commercial, which continues their “slow pour theme.”  The ad is well done, and the kid’s line of, “hey you can’t shake it Dad!”, and his defensive “I wasn’t!” is probably one of the cuter interactions I’ve recently seen in an ad of [...]

I mean, doesn’t everyone? Don’t you get tired of seeing condiments dribble out of a plastic bottle all the time? BORING. Well in the same spirit as the Condiment Gun, comes a new product that can make this wish a reality: Spread Heads! Specifically, Ketchup Charlie and Mustard Marvin!

So what the heck are Spread Heads? [...]

The Condiment Gun.  For when you want your food lathered up with condiments, but want to feel like a badass doing it.

Perhaps most shocking of all is the product page now says “Back in 2009″ and features this note:
After phenomenal demand we have now unfortunately sold out of this product until after Christmas.
See? I’m not [...]

From the makers of Bacon Salt, comes the next development in bacon flavored condiments: Baconnaise.

Some of my most loyal readers may remember that the third post I ever wrote after launching So Good discussed the absurdity of Bacon Salt, which, at the time, I called “simultaneously both the greatest, and the worst, condiment idea in [...]

I’ve written several times in the past about so called “products of convenience” that really aren’t convenient or where it is questionable that anyone is asking for them. But P.B. Slices a.k.a. “The Funner Peanut Butter” may take the cake as the most utterly ridiculous product I have seen yet.

My pal Brendan, over at [...]

About 2 weeks ago, a company by the name of Country Bob’s offered to send me a couple bottles of their “All Purpose Sauce.” Given that A) I love food, B) I love condiments more, and C) I love free stuff, I gladly accepted. A quick check of their website shows they offer not [...]

Although blogging at So Good did not begin until mid-August of 2007, the amount of “food, folks and fun” that we packed into those 4 1/2 months is surely enough to get me arrested in 23 of the lower 48 states.

On the website taquitos.net, there are reviews for 39 different brands of ketchup chips. Huh? People, people, people. Ketchup as a flavor is boring, plus we’re talking potato chips here, not french fries. What gives?
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen ketchup chips on the shelves in a store. This begs the question, what has [...]

The Condiment Packet Museum (not to be confused with The Sugar Packet Collector’s Page) was a little discovery I made a few weeks ago and vowed I would post about at some point.

The goal of the site is to collect condiment packets (and pictures of the condiment packets of others) in as many different designs, [...]
