    As an ex Taco Bell employee, we "supposed to give 1 sauce packet per item", but the stores order like 50 pounds of each sauce and some people need more than 1 packet sooo.. Enjoy having a quarter pound of sauce

      As a taco bell worker, I do get yelled at if I follow this rule since it's either too much sauce or not enough. I even had one person's order a taco. 1 taco. And got mad when we put only 3 sauce in their bag.

Then I noticed that other new workers wouldn't have that training, so it kind of became just put a handful in the bag and leave it as that. Unless the customer asked for a specific amount.

    Hey Matt, I have a suggestion for a Food Theorie Episode. In modern cooking there are five basic sauces that are considered as so called mothersauces. Every other sauce there is can be created by altering these five. The mothersauces, as considered today are: Béchamel Sauce, Tomato Sauce, Espagnole Sauce, Velouté Sauce and Hollandaise Sauce. But among those is an imposter. The french author Auguste Escoffier first mentioned this definition in his book "Le guide culinaire", and he described the sauced as stated above with the one little difference, that he did not consider hollandaise a mothersauße, because there is a simpler more basic sauce, that is made the same way (a cold emulsion of egg(water) and oil), and this sauce is … mayonnaise. But because he did not list mayonnaise in the same paragraph as the other mothersauces, and only described his discovery in the introduction sentence above mayonnaise, that got lost in the official English translation, this information got lost and even disappeared from later publications. The cooking RUclipsr Alex (He is a frech guy that does food oriented videos) had doubt about the legitimacy of hollandaise and went to the Paris library to requested to read in the original version to proof that. But to this day almost every article on the internet published the wrong mothersauce status of hollandaise, denying mayo his rightful place in the Olymp of sauces. (He did try to contact Wikipedia to "fix" the article and after half a year he managed to secure a side note on the English entry of "Frech Mother Sauces" about mayonnaise be the OG mothersauce.) I highly recommend watching Alex's original video, because this was his discovery and not mine. I just thought it would make for a nice Food Theorie Episode. (Man did I write a lot. I should probably got to sleep now xD)

    Man! As an objectively ketchup obsessed guy, I gotta tell ya… more accurately speaking, the history of ketchup is from Central Europe. The first time it was made, it was a type of sauce called “catch up” or “Catsup,” and the most historically known primary ingredient was assorted edible mushrooms. A simple way of making the sauce was taking a large quantity of mushrooms in a basket or bucket, covering in salt to extract the moisture, separating as much moisture as possible by squeezing through a cloth, seasoning by preference and taste, and using like that, the mostly dehydrated mushrooms would be usable in other dishes, or if prepared a certain way, could simply be a travel snack. To my knowledge, the Chinese fish pickling thing is more along the lines of a way to make a soup broth and preserving the fish.

      I like this theory idea a lot actually - trouble is, Matt & Steph aren't heavy drinkers, and nobody anywhere wants to be known as an alcoholic, so they'd have to do a best hangover cure episode over a LONG period of time, like months in development. Also, exactly what would work best as a hangover cure would vary wildly from person to person... but it could be done! Make it happen Matpat!
      My understanding is that what we call "hangovers" are actually caused by severe dehydration caused by alcohol consumption - the chemical causes you to lose water, and you'd feel the same way if you were trapped in a desert for several days - so the best hangover cures are often those that hydrate you quickly, like lots of water, or some smoothie recipes. I've heard that smoothies with lots of watermelon, cucumber, coconut, etc. can really help, largely due to their electrolytes & stuff. Also, some over-the-counter drugs could help, like Alka-Seltzer. All of which could make for a good test on Food Theory.

    Hitting the ketchup bottle in the 57 definitely works better than just shacking it. I worked at a Johnny Rockets in high school where we had to make smiley faces out of the ketchup coming out of the glass bottles. As you can imagine this was difficult. We actually found out that instead of your hand hitting the 57 the best way to do it was to keep your hand in the same place and moving the bottle to let the 57 hit your palm.

And it reminded of the time I ordered a 12 pack of tacos and when they asked me what type of sauce I wanted I said "Just give me all of em, im the sauce boss" and they responded with "I got you fam." and when i got home and opened the box half of it was filled with sauce packets.

      Theory 2 would be good for film theory, and for theory 1 it's not a theory it's a fact. They make money by selling expired food that nobody else wants (about 80% of the canned soup and whatnot that I've personally seen there is expired, same goes for chips and candy) aswell as plastic products that are already cheap to produce, but are cheap off brands so even cheaper for dollar tree to buy. Every dollar you spend there the company makes around $0.35 so that gives you an idea of just how cheap stuff is to make, combined with not buying high quality name brand products and buying the cheap low quality products, aswell as the expired food it's not that surprising they make money.
      To compare: Walmart makes around $0.24 per $1 you spend, At dollar tree you're actually getting less for your money. You buy alumnium foil from dollar tree? It's shorter. You buy a can of soup? It's either an ounce or 2 less but in the same size can, or more watery. The whole thing with dollar tree is that even though it seems cheap, it's actually cheaper to go buy that $1.37 roll of alumnium foil or $1.49 can of soup from walmart. Well not cheaper, but more value for your money.

    Canadian here, in Ontario we had a Heinz ketchup factory that Heinz decided to shut down to open a cheaper plant elsewhere (i.e. not canada). The condiment company "French's" decided to buy the plant to keep the ketchup jobs that were there open. Ever since then French's ketchup is about as common if not more common in restaurants in Ontario because there was such a shift in support from Heinz to French's to support the local jobs that were saved. (Could have some of the details wrong as this happened years ago and I'm just going off memory)

      @Stig maybe that's the younger people you know but most of the younger people I know are incredibly savvy about marketing. There is a huge difference between buying something you don't need or even want because an ad made you feel like you need it & buying something you need or want where the marketing was pretty irrelevant to your decision to purchase that item.
      Marketing that gives you an introduction to a product that would make your life easier or that would give you an experience that would enhance your life in some way which you may not have heard about any other way & doesn't include any psychological pressuring to purchase said item is the useful kind of marketing. Predatory marketing is where they use psychological tricks to sell you something that is unnecessary to your life experience. The marketing that includes the illusions of exclusivity, scarcity or FOMO are examples of this type of marketing. They also create or exacerbate insecurities to sell you the "cure" for those insecurities.
      This is common knowledge for most older gen Zers & millennials. The younger members of gen Z maybe aren't really as well versed in the ins & outs of marketing yet but the info is pretty easily accessible & pervasive.
