Corals are adapting, just like nature does.
You go to the ball game or a concert, they have pump dispensers for ketchup instead. Packets just add to the garbage.

I think it was Burger King that once had ketchup packets you could open like a dipping sauce. That was better than the little tear open packets.

Alex, usually there are cups to pump the condiments into when you have pumps. Hopefully the cups are biodegradable.

Pat, I don't think I saw those, but they sound convenient.
