idea for low-carb ketchup packet-substitute

Until Heinz or Hellmanns figures out that LCers would like to have LC
ketchup in convenience packets (just like Splenda or regular ketchup
or mustard or mayo), I was trying to find some kind of small dispenser
that I could bring 2-4 tablesppons of ketchup in when I go to a diner.
Something that I could carry in my pocket and skip the 6-12 extra
carbs of real ketchup.

Any ideas?

The smallest tupperware container I found is 1/2 cup(8 tablspoons) but
it is too big and round to carry around in a pocket.

Look in a department store at Rubbermaid plastic storage containers - they
have one that holds 1/8 cup. Oh, and at www.tupperware.com, look under
"Storage" for Classic Sheer Midgets Set - they hold 2 oz each.

Hope that helps,

The tupperware site didn't have them anymore but I found them on ebay.
The size seems similar to the ones I have 2"x2" which is a bit thick
for in a guys pocket--in a purse would be no biggie.

If you look into tiny plastic pill containers, sometimes they are just like
a tiny "tupperware" and will work for that. I used to use them for diet
salad dressing.

Another option is to take along a small ziploc bag, but be careful if you do
that!

I should add that I found a group of very tiny "tupperware" type containers
in the dollar store. They are really handy as pill containers or for salad
dressings or whatever.

I've bought small plastic cups, the size to hold melted butter, at
supermarkets. Not sure if they also have lids. You could also save
one of the little plastic containers you get with take out food to
hold dressing, tarter sauce, etc.

I thought about those but they open too easily. Really wanted
something I could toss in my pants pockets or a jacket pocket and not
reach in later and come out with sauce all over my fingers.

Pouring ketchup into a container and carrying it around is a sure-fire
way to get some lovely fermentation going. The packets are called
"aseptic packaging" which means they won't spoil because of how
they're handled in preparation and filling. Little plastic containers
aren't aseptic and will explode most ickily in your pocket.
