Why is Whataburger ketchup so good?

Oddly enough, I'm wearing my Whataburger shirt today. It's a shirt I got at Structure that has blue, orange, and white stripes. One of these days I'm gonna wear into a Whataburger and tell them I'm the new district manager and they should give me some free food.

 

Why is *any* ketchup so good? (is there anyone else out there who simply doesn't like this overly sweet, bland midwestern-American condiment? ) Dip your fries in something else, anything else... blue cheese dressing? hot sauce? A1? salsa? Or put tabasco on them. Red or green. But can't we do better than ketchup?

 

The ketchup is pretty badass at Whataburger. I love bunching together a crap load of fries, dumping it in the ketchup, and stuffing it in my mouth.

 

Spoken like a woman.

 

I went with my parents to visit my brother in San Antonio a few years back. One day up there, we went to Whataburger, and they poured the ketchup in a styrofoam bowl. Well, my brother is a clown, and as my dad was dipping his fries, my brother shoved my dads hand into the ketchup bowl !!! After my dad cleaned up and we all had a laugh about it, we went back to eating...but my dad hadn't forgotten about it. As my bro was dipping his last fry, my dad took a swing at his hand, but my brother moved out of the way and my dad hit the ketchup bowl and sent it flying all over the restaurant!!! Luckily, no one was in the restaurant and no one got dirty, but the whole situation was hilarious!!! I've never seen my dad looking so nervous!!!

 

Vincent: “But you know what they put on french fries in Holland instead of ketchup?”
Jules: “What?”
Vincent: “Mayonnaise.”
Jules: “*Goddarn*!”
Vincent: “I seen 'em do it. And I don't mean a little bit on the side of the plate, they *funkin'* drown 'em in it.”

 

Cream Gravy.

Oh yeah.

 

CLARK: Real tomato ketchup, Eddie?
COUSIN EDDIE: Oh, nothing but the best.

 

Remolaude sauce. Fries dipped in remolaude sauce. Mmmmmmm.

Then again, I'll put remolaude sauce on anything!

 

I'd like to have a WB shirt. I've asked the employees in there a couple of times if I could buy one of their hats. REQUEST DENIED.

I've always loved the ketchup, but never could figure out if it was the ketchup or the containers. I'm leaning towards the containers. I tend to think ketchup is ketchup for the most part.

 

Man, they used to be stingey with the ketchup with the Whataburger in Orange. When you got your food, they would ask you if you wanted ketchup and when you said 'yes' they would give you two little tubs. One time I asked for more and the girl said to come back when I finished what she had given me.

 

I too wonder about the obsession with ketchup. As a kid I was addicted to it. I put it on EVERYTHING. I was always partial to Wendy's ketchup as a kid... maybe because I was addicted to their french fries. I loved those little white paper cups they used to get your ketchup. I would usually take about 12 or13 "shots of ketchup" for one order of fries.

Now as an adult, my taste buds have moved to mustard. I have actually caused my family to gag on several occaisions over the past few weeks with the types of food I SMOTHER in mustard (not cover, but actually smother in mustard... and onions. I eat one onion a day, literally)

And yes, I brush my teeth like a mad man afterwards as well.

 

Usually, I'm scraping the tub to finish off an order of fries if I just have two.

 

When I was a little kid, I used to put a dab of ketchup on white rice and then mix it up. Did anybody else do this?


Who likes the polynesian sauce from Chick-fil-a? I love dipping those little chicken nugglets in that stuff. Mmmm mmm good.

 

Mulder's post confirmed what I thought.

Reason: Salt, and lots of it. In fact, most of Wataburger's stuff has alot of salt in it.

I eat at Wataburger and an hour later, my skin shrivles up.

 

I can't stand regular yellow mustard, but the spicy brown mustard is awesome! I put it on everything.

 

mmm... regular yellow mustard. Sometimes I will eat it straight out of the squeeze bottle.

 

I got a temporary second job at Whataburger to help fund my ordinance wish list and people do go ga-ga -goo-goo for the ketchup... They always ask for more...I think there is something to it...Police come in all the time for the free food and a good thing with the overnight shift and some drunks you get at that time...

 

What a waste of a thread...

but hey, when your right, your right...

I love that stuff, I always ask for more and use it on other fast food...
