This month’s Stupid Plastic Crap is so bad it is almost funny - Booger Buddies. It is plastic lid that can be screwed onto a squeezable ketchup bottle. When you squeeze the bottle, ketchup comes out of its mouth. Similar to this is Mustard Monster. Mustard comes out it its nose."Add some whimsy and fun to your food with the Booger Buddies Ketchup Bottle Cap by Evriholder Products. This comical bottle cap comes in the shape of a little devil head, which attaches to most ketchup bottles."
It’s whimsical and gross and silly - a huge waste of resources and $3.99. A greener option, of course, is just squeeze your mustard and ketchup through the lid that comes with the product. An even greener option is buy mustard and ketchup in glass bottles, which is getting harder and harder to do. You could also make your own. Mustard is really easy to make. Try this recipe. I have never tried making my own ketchup. Have any of you? Send a recipe.
Think about the products you buy and ecological the footprint they leave.

Great post! I will try to remember my footprint when I buy something.
I came across your website looking for a butter spread and began browsing. I try very hard to teach my children not to act silly and gross. These won't be coming in my home. Not being connected to television helps to keep things like this out of my kids radar.
We live on 1/2 acre of land and farm it all. We make and can all our own spaghetti sauce, ketchup and pizza sauce. We tried many recipes... and finally settled on the flavoring packets sold in the canning section by Mrs. Wages. They are all very good and saves me (actually usually my husband) time on canning day. They are not sold in plastic containers.
