Historical NotesHeinz Dip & Squeeze Ketchup prototype and package, 2010 These packets hold three times the ketchup of the individual serve packets, are not as messy on the go, and allow for individual dunking. Heinz Vice President for Global Packaging, Michael O. Okoroafor, even bought a used minivan to test these packets and discovered the original prototype difficult to open and use while on the go.
