This lunch-saving ultrasound app makes ketchup easily pour out of bottles | Stuff

All you want to do is cover some tasty chips in some tomatoey goodness, but nope, that infuriating red sauce is quite comfortable where it is, and it’ll be damned if its leaving that bottle without raising your blood pressure in a fit of palm-slamming rage.

A simple tap of a button causes your phone’s speaker to emit an ultrasonic sound, which resonates at the precise frequency of the mixture of molecules that make up the ingredients in ketchup.

When your phone’s chirping away, the ketchup vibrates at such a high (almost imperceptible) intensity, that it just slides right out of the bottle.

It’s worth bearing in mind that some control on your part is required to stop the entire load from pouring out all at once, and dogs will be able to hear the sound itself, which could result in some confused barking.

The KETCHapp app (try saying that out loud) is currently available for £1.99 from the Apple Store, and an Android app is confirmed for “some time in the spring”.
