An opened jar of Ketchup is not sealed tight any more. The liquids start to separate a little bit. You have to shake it to get thin pink juice back into the paste.
Packets are vaccum sealed. The ketchup won't separate. Even if it does, it would be hard to shake the packets.

There are several ways to shake a ketchup bottle. The best one that I have seen is to hold the bottle upside down in your left hand and use the edge of your right hand to hit your left wrist just like you were going to do a judo chop. Lefties please reverse. This seems to give better results than other ways of doing it. You will get zero results for a while but after a few hits you will get a lot of ketchup. This gives rise to the old poem that runs
"You shake and shake the ketchup bottle,
And none will come and then a lot'll."
Packets, on the other hand, do not need shaking because you squeeze the packet to get all or nearly all of the ketchup out.

Mustard is the same way. I think it might have partly to do with the fact that it's such a teeny amount and the packets don't sit in the same position for a long time - they get squished about if you add more to whatever they're in and whatnot.
Maybe I should buy only packets - I hate getting that ketchup pee on my food.

howdy Pets, exciting solutions, those people of yours, yet incorrect. As a supervisor of eating places for some years, I surely have used a million and a pair of gallon plastic bulk luggage of Ketchup. no could shake those. (it may well be kinda no longer person-friendly too, they weigh approximately 7 to fourteen pounds each and each.) Nope the undemanding answer is incredibly boring.... AIR! there is not any air in Ketchup packets, no rely what length. yet seem interior the precise of each and every Ketchup bottle and you will see a niche! Air. See, I instructed you, very boring. stable question although! James in San Diego

Because in the bottom of the ketchup bottles there some vinegar still there so you have to shake well is all the ingredient will blend in

Because when you use a bottle, some of the more liquidy part is separated and you have to shake it to mix it together... In the packets, when you open a packet, you squeeze what little bit there is in there and it comes out mixed.

But don't you kinds squish around the ketchup packet before you open it? I don't like the vinegary stuff to come out first!

I think the packets can't settle like the bottles can.
