post-mustard museum

So now that the mustard museum has served its purpose -- the Red Sox have won the World Series, after all -- some of us have moved on to other pursuits. I've just stumbled on the Condiment Packet Gallery: "an archive of flexible portion control packets". I'm sorry, I wish I could make these things up, but I can't.

There are four rules listed as criteria for the collection, starting with:
1. Only squeezable tear-off-the-corner packets
Dipping tubs, creamers, and butter tubs cannot be preserved to my liking,
and are easily crushed or spilled.

I note that there are over 700 items in the collection, but the last update to the News section was made over three years ago. I'm glad that people out there lead such fulfilling lives.
