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.

idea for low-carb ketchup packet-substitute
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, DebH PS: I'm not associated with Tupperware, except that I like it. "DigitalVinyl" wrote in message ...

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! -- Regards, Evelyn (to reply to me personally, remove 'sox") |

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. -- Regards, Evelyn (to reply to me personally, remove 'sox") |

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. PS: I'm not associated with Tupperware, except that I like it.

That's an interesting idea-I've never seen that. WOuld have to be leakproof. I scalded my arms yesterday in the garden on the thai dragon cayennes. I must have gotten the oils on my arm when trying to look through the bush because my arm burned for a half hour. Habanero and cayenne sauces are not something you want leaking in your pants!! I took a trip to the Container Store. A pricier but interesting store. I found two oz leak proof plastic bottles about 1" sq. by 1.5" tall. They had an assortment of tiny containers down to one oz in glass & plastic. Even plastic mason (i think that's right) jars with the snap lock lids that were 1" round x 2" tall. All less than $2 each. These should do fine. I have to admit that certain things like ketchup & bbq sauce continue to be can't-do-withouts for my taste buds. I think if I had tried low carb several years ago the menu would have looked bleak without the lower carb varieties available. Thanks to all for suggestions...
