So I go to lunch today, and as usual drop off the others at the restaurant and drive to the end of the parking lot to stay away from the rest of the cars. As I pull in at the end of the row, I feel a pop...and then a rain of liquid hits the car.

I'm thinking "What the hell?!?", and look around for the sprinkler or whatever that just rained on my car. And the water is a nasty brown color...

Finally I realize that I ran over two $$#%(((%#%# ketchup packets, which apparently managed to explode in a perfect fountain - all over my car. I'm not kidding, it almost defied physics - the front driver's wheel ran over them, and I found ketchup droplets as far back as the passenger side of the trunk!!! How the hell is that even possible?!?

Pretty funny in retrospect, even though I've a) rinsed it off (no car wash to be found) and wiped the ketchup off which b) undoubtedly created swirls which c) I'll have to wash/Zaino off later. Sigh...

 

Where did this happen?

 

funny story... I always park away from everyone.. watch out for those sprinkler systems.. they can leave water marks due to high mineral content... A real pain..

 

Could be worse, it could have been mustard.

 

Wash it thoroughly. The sugar in the Ketchup will do "wonders" on your paint.

 

Where's fries when you need it I'm sure you car is clean enough to eat out of

 

You must not have the Nav system, it has tracking, the red dots are ketchup packets and the yellow are mustard packets (right Garnet???) , if you had nav you could have avoided those.

Funny story!

 

driving over ketchup packets ftl! im sure you have a quick detail spray in your car for this reason....

 

That sucks...lol... funny story though.

 

huh that is weird. ya i have no idea how they reached that far back on the car from some little ketchup packet

 

I always park away from everyone but like we've talked about watch out
for the dreded sprinklers especially in the warm summer months. When
that hardwater dries quickly and you find yourself SOL!

 

Sounds like they were a bit 'fermented' and ready to pop on their own.

LOL!! You're safe with the 'ZAINO Shield'

 

Yeah, same thing happened to me, except I ran over a used condom with the jizz still in it....jk

 

This thread is getting pretty gross

 

AGREED. Ketchup is DISGUSTING!
