Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

We’ve all been through the following moment before. You’re at the burger spot (or enjoying some takeout at home) and there’s no ketchup bottle to be had. Instead, you are stuck trying to make the most of it with some ketchup packets.

Of course, there is just one problem there. We can never seem to get enough ketchup out of the packets when we need it the most.

It’s such a common issue that the good people of Heinz have decided that it is time to intervene. The corners get all clogged up, causing us to experience a great deal of frustration in the process. This problem causes us to end up using more packets than we actually need, too. After all, who wants to use up multiple packets when one would have done the trick just fine?

That’s where the magic of the Packet Roller comes into play. Thanks to this incredible invention, you will now be able to squeeze every last droplet of ketchup out of the packets. Heinz is referring to this as the “biggest innovation in sauce since the packet itself,” which might seem like a bold statement at first.

The more we stop to think about it, the truer it seems. It is designed to look just like a ketchup bottle and you’ll be able to roll it over the packet to coat your burgers and fries to the heart’s content. We cannot believe that no one thought of this idea before now. We are so grateful to Heinz for helping us to solve this all too common problem.

The best inventions are great in that way. They take a problem that was once plaguing many and make it into a thing of the past. Heinz has taken this invention to the next level by making it portable. You can attach it to your key chain and take it to any burger joint of your choosing. We can’t lie to our readers, we are very excited about this.

“There are few things better than the unmistakable taste of Heinz and enjoying a meal with family and friends,” said brand director Ashleigh Gibson in a statement, according to PENNLIVE. “Our packets bring the magic to mealtime no matter where people are having their burger and fries but squeezing out every drop is no easy feat. We engineered the HEINZ Packet Roller to give fans a whole new way to savor their favorite condiment and ensure the last drop never goes to waste again.”
