New research aims to cut down on waste -- and consumer frustration -- with a novel approach to creating super slippery industrial packaging. The study establishes a method for wicking chemically compatible vegetable oils into the surfaces of common extruded plastics, like those used for ketchup packets and other condiments.

Oh I agree those bottles are great! The lid/valve system is really good too and they sit upside down so product is always ready to dispense. It is a highly refined design.
I've seen the same valving system on mustard and I just got one with mayo too. Nice sharp stream sprays out when you squeeze and there is no mess.
It is great!
I don't like ultra slow pouring glass ketchup bottles its just that they aren't unworkably hard to drain.
