My dad became a strong advocate for this after a particularly nasty dose of food poisoning.
“But it’s too hard to get out of the bottle!!!”
“You know what wasn’t hard to get out? The two days of explosive diarrhoea! I’ll take shaking the bottle a bit, thank you.”


Not myself, the old man. Strange that it affected the three people who used tomato sauce but not the two people who didn’t, tomato sauce vs chilli sauce being the only difference in their meals.
So tell me, let’s hypothetically say you strongly suspect that tomato sauce which had gone bad turned your ass into an IED for two days. Would it really stress you to put the bottle, the one that says refrigerate after opening, in the fridge?
Hell I have a cousin that can’t bring himself to eat garlic bread, and an ex who can’t eat chicken for the exact same reason.
If anything the old man just made a small tweak to how he stores it and kept throwing it on his meat pies, showing some real gastrointestinal fortitude.
