to not want the squeezing?

Squeezy bottles of mayo: all well and good to start with, but about 3/4 of the way through, the remaining mayo sticks to the sides and you can't get it out.

Squeezy ketchup: I don't eat the stuff because it is the work of the devil, but DH says it has the wrong consistency and tastes funny.

Squeezy marmite: I'm not even going to give it the time of day.

Why are manufacturers obsessed with the squeeze?

Squeezy toothpaste is the dogs bollocks though.

Mind you, I suspect a lot of posters on here can't remember those funny metal tubes that you had to roll up.

I like squeezy pickle, but hate squeezy mayo (agree, sticks to the sides).

I much prefer the squeeze when the bottle is designed to be stored on its lid so the product sits where it needs to be. Can't understand why squeeze bottles are designed so that they need to be tipped upside down.

Squeezy golden syrup is good. Not mayo though.

I see they're doing squeezy honey now. Won't that stick too?

I love squeezy marmite. It was really hard to spread in the original pots (especially if your kitchen is cold) and I would end up creating holes in my bread. In fact I love squeezy in general.

I have central heating and will be sticking with my original marmite thanks. Wink. Especially now you've told me that they've messed with the consistency.

It's weird how squeezey marmite tastes different. The proper stuff is stronger and you need less.

CharlieAlphaKiloEcho · 29/01/2014 18:05

I like squeezy stuff because DD has a habit of double dipping her knife so jam, marmite, honey all end up with crumbs or butter smears and then I can't use it (ishoos).

It they made squeezy butter I'd buy it!

Also, primula cheese spread in tubes is the dogs wotsits.

Squeezy mayo is crapola. Angry

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 29/01/2014 18:10

Squeezy honey is crap. As the bottle empties, the remaining honey crystallises and blocks the exit and you have to sit it in hot water for 5 minutes before you can squirt any out.

at squeezy butter Confused

I put the squeezy honey in the microwave last week, needed a tablespoon for a recipe.

Squeezed it hard and decorated the kitchen. A tablespoon went into the bowl of bread mix alright, but I had to spend 20 mins wiping everywhere else. Work of the devil, if you ask me.

MoreBeta · 29/01/2014 18:21

Do NOT microwave squeezy honey.

If the hole is blocked the bottle will explode or at the very least release the molten honey under high pressure.

I have bitter experience of this.

All squeeze things need to be stored with the old at the bottom.

Squeezy things are great! Marmite - bam, go. Honey - bam, go. Mayo, salad cream, ketchup. It's a revolution, get with the progress people.

Well whois, if 'progress' is constantly banging the mayo bottle on the work surface and making the neighbours think I am knocking for help, then 'progress' can go get stuffed !
