The shortage of single-packet ketchup brought the nation to its knees; the masses reckon with reality as cold as a delivered french fry. The reality is that a $2.49 McDonald’s hamburger tastes like death without the savory-sweet lubrication of exactly one packet of ketchup.

The people have paid handsomely (at least up to $4 per packet) to ease the hardship. Others bogarting the ketchup are cruelly listing their coveted foodstuffs for thousands; this one on eBay can be paid off in manageable installments of $481 for 24 months with PayPal Credit.
