Just when you thought wedding receptions couldn't get anymore exciting, a handful of art school students engineered this monument to snack food eating: the Ketchup Fountain.

To be fair, most people don't agree with ketchup devotee in exclaiming the condiment's tastiness or nutritional value, but there's certainly no harm in bringing a liter of catsup to a hot boil, siphoning it through a fountain and savoring the syrupy goodness.
