Finally – The Stuck Ketchup Problem, Solved [VIDEO]
28 May 2012 by Jasmine Stone in Science
It’s taken months of research and some of America’s brightest minds to figure it out, but now it seems the end of tomato sauce frustration is nigh.
A new bottle coating developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) doctoral candidate Dave Smith, together with a team of mechanical engineers and nanotechnology researchers, has ketchup flowing like milk.
They have created the awesome-sounding LiquiGlide – a non-toxic slippery coating which can be sprayed onto glass and plastic surfaces. Its most useful application will be to food packaging, helping solve the age-old problem of how to get a knife into the bottom of the ketchup bottle.
Smith and his team say LiquiGlide could save 1 million tons of perfectly good but inaccessible condiments and other food annually. A service to humanity if ever we’ve heard of one.
Thanks, Beau
