Someone Has Invented Sliced Ketchup and The Internet Is Obsessed

No more banging on the end of bottles...

We all know the pain of squirting too much ketchup on our burger…

And that’s if we are lucky enough to have access to squeezy bottle, with those glass bottles it’s just the luck of the draw.

Now, some genius has invented handy slices of ketchup, which melt on contact with your burger bun for the perfect amount of tomato-y goodness.

Named “Ketchup-leather”, it’s all the brainchild of Ernesto Uchimura, an LA chef who was sick of too much ketchup making his buns go soggy.

To make the slices of ketchup, Ernesto blends tomato paste with soy sauce, garlic and other spices before drying it out in the oven and cutting into squares.

According to The Metro this invention is being heralded as the future of burgers.

We don’t know if we think this is genius or completely rank, but we do know that we’ll be having a bacon cheeseburger for dinner.
