    If eating french fries, pick ketchup. Otherwise, pick mustard.

    Actually, pick mustard with fries too

    If you hesitate between jumping ship or jumping rope just jump around. jump around. jump up. jump up and get down.

      Between riding a bicycle and eating salad, choose the bicycle

      …Why is this a binary choice?

          I was more referring to OP; If you like ketchup, put it on. If you like mustard, put that on too.

          The way it’s phrased gives off a connotation of having to pretend two completely different things are mutually exclusive when they’re clearly not, judging from how many eat their hotdogs.

    Nuh-uh. Ketchup is made from tomatoes. Tomatoes are vegetables. Vegetables are healthy. Checkmate!

      Ketchup is high in sugar. That alone makes mustard a healthier choice. It’s not some pseudoscience.

      The YSK is poorly worded but not wrong.

        It is?

        According to whom, again? Incan guarantee the ketchup I use isn’t “high in sugar”, whatever that means, and I’m not eating by the cup anyway.

        What do you mean by “high”?

        Again, more pseudoscience.

        They’re 2 different things, with different purposes. This whole post is nonsense.

          I truly hate it when people call things they dont clearly have knowledge about a pseudoscience. Traditionaly ketchup contains lots of sugar. Both are condiments so they are pretty similiar in use.

          But amount you use either one is so small it does really matter which one you use.

          When the USA was civilized we required every food sold to the public to list its nutritional information.

          https://calories-info.com/mustard-vs-ketchup/

          100g of ketchup or mustard both have about 100 calories, with ketchup getting more of those calories from carbohydrates and much less from fat.

          Even if you make your own ketchup or buy a no-sugar added brand, it still has a fair amount of carbohydrates. And a substantial amount of salt.

          https://tools.myfooddata.com/nutrition-facts/2594364/100g/1

          Both are worth including if you’re calorie counting. (And don’t necessarily trust the per-serving size label, since if they set that low enough they can round down and claim a 100% fat cooking spray is 0 calories. We only used to be civilized.)
