Tired of vainly thumping the bottom of a ketchup bottle, trying to knock loose that last inch of condiment? There's good news: A team of engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has invented a bottle coating that makes ketchup pour as easily as milk. They say it could save 1 million tons of perfectly good but inaccessible ketchup and other food from being thrown out each year — not to mention saving untold hours spent in frustration.

My mother worked in a cafe years ago and she learned this little trick. Now this was back when ketchup came in glass bottles. She would put just a little bit of water in the bottle then shake it up really good
