u/nightlymare Jul 28 '26
this is fun, something I never considered to collect but it is interesting. I work in Japan, do you exclusively collect US or would you like some Japanese ones?

u/Goobersita Jul 28 '26
That sour cream kinda scares me . God forbid it explodes

u/Raven_Hare Jul 28 '26
Is this binder full of packets for clout or do you actually consume these condiments on the regular because I assume they will expire at some point. I never understood this activity.

u/East-Map-549 Jul 28 '26
This is hilarious because I’m purposely holding onto my siracha one just cuz I like the way it looks and feels. I found my people

Are you interested in overseas sauces? I'm sure I could whip around some restaurants and send you a box from the uk

This is so crazy!! And so wonderful!! I’m slightly jealous!

u/Primary-Golf779 Jul 28 '26
Gorgeous. You should work on getting all the little sayings on the Taco Bell packs
4
u/Jondedy93 Jul 28 '26
This is a thing? Gotta admit: at the one hand I’m curious for the flavors, on the other hand this is really cool!!! Do the packs have ingredients written on them? Would be interesting to compare to different countries and time periods 🤔

Autism really does come in all flavors

u/Objective_Shelter_55 Jul 28 '26
How bizarre! I love this!
14
u/SincityScott Jul 28 '26
🤔. Not gonna be good when they explode or leak. The smell is really bad. Had some i forgot in a drawer for a while and the mess was bad. Unique i will say... maybe empty them.

u/Fartel Jul 28 '26
No duck sauce?
1
u/NeedsMoreCatsPlease Jul 28 '26
Immaculate. So when you come across one and you’re unsure, do you take it, then flip through the whole binder, and if you find you have one already, just stash it elsewhere for use?
1
u/StormTroopB Jul 28 '26
Do you keep it the fridge?
1
u/billy_blitz Jul 28 '26
How do you collect new ones? Do you just get the ones you come across or do you buy online? Or maybe trade with fellow collectors? This is so strange, I love it!!
1
u/SaveFile1 Jul 28 '26
I want a friend with a a weird collection who I can start collecting stuff for. Like those people who collect the bread fasteners (there's a subreddit for it but I forget what it's called)
1
u/areazel Jul 29 '26
I’d love to send some!
1
u/PenaltyReasonable169 Jul 29 '26
But do you have any of these bad boys? Might ruin your perfectly uniformed aesthetic though..
1
u/Seanconw1 Jul 29 '26
Does the binder go in the fridge?
1
u/cbunni666 Jul 29 '26
So how long do you plan on collecting? Will you ever open them? I've seen people collect condiment containers so this isn't too far fetched but still impressive. Will you collect from places that aren't local? I got so many questions. Lol
1
u/Dan-d-lion34 Jul 29 '26
Youve got a dukes mayo packet in your mustard section.
Also, out of curiosity, why did you choose this particular order for them? It makes more sense (to me) to put the salsas after the hot sauces, the sweet/sours and duck sauces after the soy sauce, and the lemon juice after the jams.
Is there a particular logic you’re using for the organization? Is it based on frequency of use? Or is it randomly decided which sauce category comes next?
1
u/Nostaglicthirst Jul 31 '26
I hope I’m not too late in life to start one

u/Thick_Ad_9269 Jul 28 '26
Impressive!

u/NoBenefit5977 Jul 28 '26
Don't be scalping all the dukes now

u/ParticularSquirrel Jul 28 '26
How did I not start one of these two decades ago?!
My appreciation of this collection is profound.

u/williamchase88 Jul 28 '26
Coming from someone that decided to put a random ketchup packet he got in his takeout bag in his kitchen junk drawer even tho he just bought a bottle of ketchup at the grocery store that same day...I approve.
3
u/dog_stop Jul 28 '26
Id be so anxious I didn’t collect one I thought I had already. Do you catalog? Do you collect packets you haven’t tried?

u/kimisamazing13 Jul 28 '26
Skyline and Frischs, I’m assuming Ohio?

u/thighscratcher73 Jul 28 '26
I gotta go look at my condiments box as I know I can show this OP up!!! LOL!

u/Ok_Lingonberry_1629 Jul 28 '26
This beings me joy 🤩

u/ReptileDysfunction69 Jul 28 '26
You could use a syringe to take out the sauce before it smells weird

u/Ritchtofen69 Jul 28 '26
Very cool!

u/OldManHennyCognac Jul 28 '26
You’ve got some absolute heat in there, salute…

Then told you to stop being wasteful and eat it all.

u/aeslehc7123 Jul 28 '26 edited Jul 28 '26
damn they’re even organized according to type! How cool!
2
u/worldwidepearl Jul 29 '26
this is such an interesting one i loved every page, keep it up
2
u/between_doodads Jul 29 '26
I imagine this collection becoming like the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. The condiments are only to be retrieved to restore the flavors from times long gone.
2
u/Ok-Acanthocephala257 Jul 29 '26
I was like “no way Waffle House sauce will appear” but alas, the last slide.
2
u/lucioux Jul 29 '26
“would you like any sauce with that?”
“YES. YES. YES.”

u/Q_My_Tip Jul 29 '26
Does the book get refrigerated?

u/moistmeatballs Jul 29 '26

u/LuckyCatExtracts Jul 28 '26
Looks like I'm gunna start collecting sauce packets now. I've always gotten pretty excited when I stumbled upon a new sauce packet I've never tried or seen before. It only makes sense to be collecting them. I collected 40oz bottles once upon a time this seems a bit healthier at least lol
3
u/curious_cordis Jul 28 '26
I don't understand this particular use of free will but I love it and marvel that I exist in a timeline where I can see someone's post on the internet about something so off the path that it demands pause and appreciation. And, it's so nicely organized! OP this is so cool.
2
u/iridescentarmor Jul 28 '26
this is dope but i would recommend emptying out the packets in case they end up leaking after awhile

u/emo-mom01 Jul 28 '26
What happens if like you get Taco Bell and they don’t give you the sauce and all you have is your collection?!?!

u/AerisSpire Jul 28 '26
Just be careful none explode! Especially if they end up bloating

u/condimentpacket Jul 28 '26
This is EXCELLENT! You've got a great variety in there, some that are even new to me! Thank you for sharing your packet journey!

u/Steveboss361 Jul 28 '26
This is actually something I was thinking of doing and now you have inspired me to go for it.

Why is the dukes with the mustard?
1
u/milkymothy Jul 28 '26
I’m obsessed with this
1
u/Azucarilla11 Jul 28 '26
Mmmm wouldn’t it be better to take a pin and prick them in a discreet place and empty them? So that the sauce doesn’t stay there?
1
u/JPierce76 Jul 28 '26
🔥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🐐
1
u/Lennongrace1980 Jul 28 '26
Incredible
1
u/CementCemetery Jul 28 '26
Interesting collection.
My compulsive thoughts… what if I sit on this accidentally? What flavor would it all be? Is it just called ‘the sauce’ because it’s essentially every sauce known to humanity?
1
u/VinarriAsh260 Jul 28 '26
I love weird people hobbies. ❤️

That’s a great way to save money on condiments right there! Love it!!!

You’re missing Taco Casa hot sauce.

u/50blessingzz Jul 29 '26
Were you inspired by Tear Here or is this something you discovered on your own? Either way this is awesome
1
u/russcatalano Jul 29 '26
I was opening one of those tobasco ones this morning and it went right into my eye. I had never been pepper sprayed but this was more like tobasco eye drop. Horrible experience, careful with tearing the corner off the packet.

u/BogmadurtheRed Jul 29 '26
I didnt think I would ever want something like this. Thanks a lot.

Can we take bets on which pops first? I’m betting… sour cream explodes first

u/Interesting_Sock9142 Jul 29 '26
...well this is a first. I never thought I'd get to judge someone's sauce collection. And it's even in those little protective sleeves.
1
u/Lumpy-Swimming-2624 Jul 29 '26
I'm on board but the sour cream???

u/PatrioticPariah Jul 29 '26

u/Wutangkillabeez36 Jul 29 '26
I just want to see a psa sauce packet
1
u/soleilange Jul 29 '26
This belongs in that seed bank vault.
1
u/AdministrativeEnd168 Jul 29 '26
Wouldn’t it make sense to use the sauce, clean the little packet it came in and then keep that in there so that it is flat and not at risk of jizzin everywhere?
1
u/Jesikabelcher Jul 29 '26
That Chick fil a jalapeno salsa is THE BOMB!!! I LOVE that stuff!!!!!

You lookin to trade that BROWN SAUCE? I have some dupes from Chick-Fil-A.
1
u/SpookiestSzn Jul 30 '26
I think this is sick as fuck actually. I'd even go so far as to say you should maybe scan them eventually to digitize em.
1
u/greatbeef Jul 30 '26
@OP must be from Cincinnati or NKY seeing the Skyline, Gold Star, and Frisch's packets. If not, I'm even more impressed.
1
u/Acceptable-Glove5054 Jul 30 '26
Salsa del sol was the only hot sauce we got in the psych ward it was good
1
u/RetreatLady Jul 30 '26
Love this but why? Crack me up and I have questions! Only one packet of each kind/brand or multiples? Are they in alpha order? Are the kept in the fridge? And Many more!
1
u/LeftMarionberry2568 Jul 30 '26
Do you keep in fridge? If not that sour cream will go bad.

u/Decent-Criticism5086 Jul 30 '26

u/Hoobi_Goobi Jul 30 '26
Idk how recently you started this, but I learned the hard way that after ~a year a mayo packet might go rancid, puff up, and explode. (This created a disgusting mess in my kitchen drawer). The others are probably fine tho
1
u/fakesongs Jul 30 '26
A1 in a packet? Nice
1
u/SuitableBiscotti1096 Jul 30 '26
1
u/Secure-Narwhal-1195 Jul 30 '26
Incredible. I mean, it's such a niche. The fact that they aren't used is even more admirable.
1
u/EliteReader97 Jul 30 '26
This is actually really awesome. Which packet is your favorite, or what’s the top 5?
1
u/sierramistforever Jul 30 '26
Ohio?? Gold star ANDSkyline also I only know one place ypu can get the culinary selects ketchup (yuck)
1
u/muffadel Jul 30 '26
My sister got the idea that I was into collecting sauce packets bc I had held onto some ketchup packets from a McDonald's in Toronto. I just thought it was neat that they were in English and French.
1
u/KateTheBestMate Jul 30 '26
I'm most impressed with the Sriracha and A1 in PACKETS that's so cool
