A Critical Analysis of Ketchup Packets

NO WAIT READER COME BACK DON'T LEAVE ME BECAUSE THE TITLE DIDN'T INTEREST YOU. Tricked ya, this is exactly what you think. Today, I am going to break down the elusive, the fun, the sexual, ketchup packet.

I spent some time making this graphic--but is is also my first one, so please go easy on me--but here I have labeled various sections of the ketchup packet so we can begin to discuss it on a serious note.

The Parts of A Ketchup Packet

The Spiky Edge of Death And Despair

Ever considered the spiky edge of a ketchup packet? Why is it there? Whey do we need something that can give me a papercut? I bled from that papercut. Not ketchup blood--real blood.

The Tear Here

The Tear Here is essentially like this guy I made out with:it led me on and leads me on. I know that was a jab at someone that you don't know but that's a different article. The Tear Here is deceitful, do you know how many times I have attempted to tear where it tells me to just to learn that God had other plans for this ketchup packet and safeguarded it with impossible-to-tear coating?

The Advertisement For Another Product

Ketchup packets are essentially advertising other ketchup bottles. It is like if your little brother wore a shirt with your face on it.

The Ingredients

Who reads these and actually understands them. Who even really cares, to be honest. They could put "fingernails, horse urine, stress-inducing olives, trace amounts of the swine flu, anthrax, dirt, and a Target 'caution when wet' sign" as the ingredients and I wouldn't care.

Random Address

I assume this is the place where I will die by the hands of the leaders of the ketchup company.

Random Number

I assume that this is the number of times I have used ketchup in my life.

How does this impact me?

It doesn't.

Edmund, are you okay?

No. Ketchup packets got me fucked up. And so do finals. Finals more so.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
