Before squeeze bottles, it was impossible to get that last 1/8 of the ketchup out of the glass container unless a spoonful for water was added.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-37333281801965755802018-04-22T04:48:55.499-06:002018-04-22T04:48:55.499-06:00My mother, one of ten, always loved fresh, crusty ...My mother, one of ten, always loved fresh, crusty bread.
