Do you have a kitchen drawer full of condiment packages? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ireneparalegal · 01-05-2007, 01:48 PM

It never fails. No matter how many times I clean out the drawer that has miscellaneous stuff in it, there are tons of packages of ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, taco sauce, chili pepper for pizza, parmesan cheese packets, etc. On a rare occasion will I maybe seek a hot sauce packet, but there is no way I am going to use a condiment package when I could easily grab me a bottle of whatever I need from my refrigerator or pantry. I dread looking in that drawer and seeing what my family has put in there.

I know what you mean: extra soy sauce packets from the Chinese restaurant; sugar, salt and pepper packets, hot sauce, taco sauce, McDonald's ketchup packets and packets of mustard. In that same drawer are twist ties for plastic bags, some used and unused, several rubber bands from the newspaper, old nails and hooks for hanging pictures a pair of scissors, scotch tape and a few broken pencils with the points broken off and a few pens which no longer write--when the phone rings and I have to take down information I go searching for something to write with and nothing works. I need to throw out some of that stuff! I can relate.

Hahhaa, yup, we've always had a drawer like that in my house! It has ketchup, soy sauce, duck sauce, those little containers of ranch and honey mustard you get from McDonalds, etc. Not to mention a million other pieces of junk.

Brieannas21 · 01-05-2007, 03:01 PM

Nope, we use to keep the condiment packages in a glass bowl in the crisper part of the refrigerator

. After a while I got tried of looking at it and I just threw them all out.

Now in our miscellaneous drawer in the kitchen we have batteries, screw drivers, candles and some other junk.

Dipping sauces, Ketchup, Soy Sauce in a tupperware container in the fridge

PZelda · 01-05-2007, 03:45 PM

I don't do condiments, so I have exactly 0 packets of condiments lying around in the kitchen. No ketchup, no mustard, no soy sauce, etc.

Courtnee · 01-05-2007, 04:01 PM

yep. mostly from taco bell.

Czas na Zywiec · 01-05-2007, 04:07 PM

I use the little place on the door where you normally but your butter. I like my ketchup nice and cold.

Georgia's on my Mind · 01-05-2007, 04:23 PM

I used to do that but it got too full and all fell out

gilligan fanatic · 01-05-2007, 05:13 PM

A few but not many. I usualy throw them out

Titania · 01-05-2007, 07:46 PM

Oh god, I have a huge container of soy sauce and duck sauce packets. You can tell what I eat.

I think I also have some ketchup, mayo, and mustard... I don't even like mustard, but I can't bear to throw things away. If it's free, I'll keep it until I find it a use. I have three shoeboxes full of hotel soap.

Janice · 01-05-2007, 07:49 PM

I throw them out. We have sandwiches and fries delivered, and I have my own ketchup out. Those little packets are a pain, and there's hardly anything in them.

My second miscellaneous drawer has the batteries, nails, screws, one small screwdriver, one small phillips screwdriver, small krazy glue, and a whole lotta bunch of "junk" I feel I may use one day.
