From a big guy who looked like a lumberjack as a matter of fact. I learnt this trick when I visited the States in the mid ’80s.

He's been known to go up to complete strangers in restaurants and demonstrate the proper method. So if an old guy who looks a bit like a lumberjack ever accosts you for hitting the ketchup bottle incorrectly...well, I warned you.

All at once or little by little. Since ketchup becomes less viscous (i.e. flows more easily) the more you agitate it. Hence why, if it's been standing in a bottle for a while, it'll be hard to get out. After a short while of shaking or tapping the bottle in your prefered way it will come out one way or another. That's your trivia lesson for today. Or indeed, you could bypass this and just get a squeeze-bottle. Any method works, it all depends on how you want the ketchup to come out of the bottle.

Turn it over and pull the straw out. Flows like water. No banging necessary, however one does have a ketchupy straw to dispose of.

Shouldn't that arrow be pointing up if you are hitting it from the bottom? Unless, you put your hand under the bottom and hit downward, hitting self in nuts. The reaction would cause you to slam the bottle tip into your food as you bend over in pain. Yeah... That's the ticket! :) Isn’t the graphic on the far right drawn wrong?
