Oh Balloon Boy, your human interest story mesmerized us and gave us hope. But your misadventures lasted but a few short hours and like all minor celebrities, your fame is fading away like Marty McFly’s family members in that photo from that one movie where his car looks like a bird and they never really reveal how that professor makes money. He doesn’t teach any classes, that’s for sure, and his frazzled appearance would frighten most students. Wait, he’s a doctor. MD or PhD? What’s the story on this weirdo?
Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that the world still needs something to hold onto. And that something may very likely be this double-sided condiment bottle.
Perhaps the most heart-breaking aspect of this very simple solution to a complex problem is that it doesn’t actually exist in the marketplace yet. And to be honest, I can’t believe this idea hasn’t surfaced before. Maybe it has. All I know is that a) I’d buy it and b) they should do this for toothpaste too.

Unless the two-sided bottle will contain two separate condiments, what’s the benefit?
They already have bottles that are cap-side down.
All this is doing is making sure that you have no choice but to place the bottle cap-side down.
Am I missing something?
Thanks Aaron, now I’m going to have the episode of Seinfeld in which Kramerica industries proposes a bottle with both ketchup and mustard playing in my head for the rest of the morning. (Hallooo, lalala) Hopefully someone else reading this watches Seinfeld or that’s going to come off quite insane.
I’d make the caps wider, the stability of that thing with the small caps that are on there now is going to suck.
Oh and for shame for not remembering your Back to the Future lore Doug, Doc Brown specifically says that he “spent years and most of the family fortune” inventing the flux capacitor (that’s from memory so if anyone actually looks it up I’m sure the quote is a little different).
They should be selling these…
Totally lame writer dude/ Did you even watch “Back to the Future”?
Doc Brown Inherited a bunch of money from his wealthy parents. Duh.
