# Sauce-Squeezing Fry Sleeves The Ketchup Presser Makes Eating French Fries Less Messy By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-01-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ketchup-presser References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/01/10/the-ketchup-king/) When your fingers are too greasy to deal with your [single-serving condiment sachet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sauce-packet-jacket), the Ketchup Presser would really come in handy. You've got enough grub on your hands anyway, it would be favorable not to have the viscous tomato sauce smeared all over them as well. The solution is rather simple. Designers Hwandong Lee, Nari Lee, Myung Gyu Kim and Taeno Yoon have adapted the [standard French fry carton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gamifries) so that it can help you obtain the most flavor and minimize the mess. Just the addition of a small flap to one side of the packaging makes a delicious difference. Where the flap creases inwards on the Ketchup Presser, a slot has already been cut. Once you've inserted your [catsup pouch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-carp-packaging) the setup enables you to evenly and efficiently squeeze all of the sauce out without soiling your fingers more than necessary. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sauce-squeezing Packaging:** Opportunity to create innovative packaging solutions that allow for mess-free sauce dispensing. - **Mess-free Eating:** Potential to create products and technologies that minimize mess while eating. - **Convenient Condiments:** Demand for convenient and easy-to-use condiment solutions that enhance the dining experience without creating a mess. ### Where This Applies - **Food Packaging:** Opportunity for food packaging companies to develop sauce-squeezing packaging designs that enhance consumer experience. - **Restaurant and Fast Food:** The fast-food industry can utilize mess-free eating solutions to enhance customer satisfaction and minimize clean-up efforts. - **Kitchen Gadgets:** There is a market for innovative kitchen gadgets that make it easier and less messy to handle condiments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Built-In Ketchup Unit Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-dipper.md) - [Redesigned Fry Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dipper.md) - [French Fry Spoons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spoon-friez.md) - [Portable Sauce-Dispensing Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ksooly-squeeze-bottle.md) - [Crumb-Funneling Chip Packets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chip-packet.md) - [Naturally-Crafted Ketchup Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-gold-dunk-cup.md) - [Sauce-Included Multifunctional Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saurk.md) - [Tomato Sauce Pouches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-sauce-co.md) - [Crinkle Fry-Inspired Clips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fries-clips.md)
