- •Ketchup is difficult to squeeze out, especially when less than 3/4 full.
- •The new bottle design is described as 'paper thin' with noticeable usability issues.
- •The bottle doesn't regain its shape after being squeezed, hindering usability.
- •The bottle design makes the flip lid challenging to open and worsens with use.
- •Ketchup often gets stuck in the bottle, creating a frustrating user experience.
- •Children have difficulty using the bottle, leading to frustration.

Bottom Line
While FRENCH'S Ketchup offers a tasty product that has been preferred over competitors, the current 1L bottle design has been negatively received due to its thin plastic and usability issues. Many users have expressed hope for improvements in the packaging to reclaim their loyalty. If packaging is a deciding factor for you, it may be worth waiting to see if French's addresses these concerns before purchasing.
