A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

The grams of waste per teaspoon of ketchup seems high.

What else has a super high packaging waste per consumable volume?

taco sauce packets at taco john's are a lot worse in the 'waste per packet per quantity of sauce' category.

Thanks for noting the per quantity nuance! :)

Water bottles suck, but you do get 500g of water for 10g of plastic. For ketchup it's more like 5g ketchup to 2g plastic. Never seen a taco John's packet and hope I never do
