BASF Podcast: The Chemical Reporter - Why is it Sometimes so Hard to get Ketchup out of the Bottle?

LUDWIGSHAFEN, Germany - Ketchup can be a stubborn condiment. Just when you’re ready to bite into a burger, it often refuses to flow. Only when you give the bottle a serious shake or two does it start to move. And there’s a reason why. Ketchup isn’t your normal, everyday liquid. In entertaining episodes our Chemical Reporter answers questions of our Podcast listeners on Chemistry in our everyday life.
