This may be the biggest fast-food restaurant news since we started talking to Jack, The Clown at the drive-thru.
The ketchup packet is being revised!
Yep, that tear-it-open-and-spill-ketchup-everywhere-but-on-your-sandwich-packet is being redesigned by the Heinz ketchup company.
The new "Dip & Squeeze Heinz Tomato Ketchup" package has a base that's like a little cup for dipping and also a tear-off end for squeezing, plus it holds three times as much ketchup than a traditional packet.
Heinz even bought it's research team a used minivan to test if the new Dip & Squeeze packet actually worked while eating on the road (they also probably gave them a cell phone and shaving kit, too, 'just to make sure they'd be completely distracted).
Anyway, that's the latest news on "ketchup" - and it's no Pulp Fiction.

Fines for red-light traffic violations in Los Angeles County have skyrocketed over the past eight years - from $271 to $446!
And the number of tickets that have been generated by the red-light traffic camera systems has grown to 13,000 tickets with almost $1.6 million in revenue.
'Gives "Red Light District" a whole new meaning.

Time to issue a White House gag order (or maybe a gaffe order would be more appropriate).
This week, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel referred to a group of liberal Democrats as "f***ing retarded."
Needless, to say, he was forced to issue a public apology - not to the liberal Democrats, but to persons with disabilities.
But even before this latest gaffe, Emanuel has been in hot water for salty language and heated political controversies.
On Thursday, a White House official (who was not authorized to speak publicly on the topic) made no apologies for Emanuel's tough, but sometimes childish style.
"Doo-Doo, Rahm Rahm!!", he reportedly said.

Have you heard about the "demon sheep" ad?
It's a political attack ad produced by the campaign for California Senate candidate Carly Fiorina against her opposition, candidate Tom Campbell.
It features a pastoral field of grazing sheep (which are supposed to represent fiscal conservatives), and a devilish interloper - a man in a sheep's clothing - who is supposed to represent Campbell (implying that he is not what he appears to be).
The video has gone viral on YouTube.
The producer proclaims that any attempt to prevent the ad from being aired is "ewes-less". According to the Wool Street Journal, he was quoted as saying, "Flock anyone who tries to stop us!"
Where's Ram Emanual when we need him?
