Thieves in Vienna, Austria made off with 21 tons of mustard and ketchup.
The loot was in a semitrailer parked in a lot over the weekend northwest of Vienna. Police say the truck driver showed up Monday to deliver his cargo only to see the trailer missing.
Police assume the thieves were more interested in the trailer than its contents.
Authorities are on the lookout for the missing mustard as well as the $22,000 trailer. Link -via J-Walk Blog

Ew, you spilled it all over the couch! Etsy seller diffractionfiber made this throw pillow and felt spill mark. She was inspired by Chicagoans’ affinity for the condiment:
One of the first life lessons I learned after moving to Chicago was that it was blasphemous to use ketchup on your hot dog. “Real” Chicagoans use Mustard I was told. (And sometimes a array of veggies resembling a salad perched upon that hot dog, but I digress.) Then was informed if I really wanted ketchup I’d have to put it on myself, because the guy behind the counter flat out refused. Welcome to the Windy City!
