BASF Podcast: The Chemical Reporter - Why is it sometimes so hard to get ketchup out of the bottle?

Ludwigshafen (ots) - Ketchup can be a stubborn condiment. Just
when you're ready to bite into a burger, it often refuses to flow.
Only when you give the bottle a serious shake or two does it start to
move. And there's a reason why. Ketchup isn't your normal, everyday
liquid. In entertaining episodes our Chemical Reporter answers
questions of our Podcast listeners on Chemistry in our everyday life.
