And dirty my only bowl with something that's already in a bowl like vessel that could be easily improved on to resolve the issue entirely?
No.
Plenty of dip correctly comes in wide containers. If people want to pour their salsa in/on to stuff, they can pay extra for tall jars with all this bowl money they apparently have.
Eating directly from the container will make it go moldy faster, even if you don't double-dip. It's more sanitary to pour it into a bowl unless you're gonna eat the whole thing.
Yeah and the salsa can get stuck on the inner walls after pouring, unable to be scraped with a nacho thanks to the narrow opening.
This actually already exists! though the flavor is 'agar'
But bonus: you can grow stuff on it that makes your dip taste funny and make you see god.
Those are my favorite kind of salsas.
Or just pour the salsa in a bowl instead of eating it directly out of the packaging.
Why is it ok for hummus but not salsa?
If you can pour it, it's not hummus.
True that's why no one has invented spoons yet.
It still gets stuck in the threading for the lid though.
Personally I think it should come in a bottle.
First off, that's subjective, secondly, it's irrelevant. I was talking about the shape of hummus containers vs salsa jars.
I don't know what hummus you have but I've never seen it sold in a glass jar, it's always in a little plastic container and therefore deformable.
Idk what "deformability" has to do what the any of this, but to the first point, yeah I know, that's exactly what I'm saying. Hummus gets sold in flat, chode-like cylinders specifically for dipping efficiency, salsa companies could do the same. In fact, some do, but I've only ever seen it for very "fresh" salsas. I suppose sealing/canning is the major issue, but I'm sure you could engineer around that.
It's to do with refrigeration salsa needs to be refrigerated hummus doesn't. Refrigerated and I think you're supposed to once open but it can be stored just out in the open.
The reason that it being deformable is important is it means you can easily get the hummus out of the jar it doesn't get stuck on anything because you just squish the tub. That isn't possible with salsa though because it has to be in a glass jar for refrigeration purposes.
Hummus is absolutely not shelf-stable, before or after opening, that's why they keep it in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. And the tubs are not deformable, at least not here in America. Salsa is shelf-stable before opening because it's canned in glass jars. What are you on about?
Finally, someone asking the important questions.
You should scoop the hummus into a separate bowl
You should freeze the hummus into little spheres and insert them into your anal cavity one by one and then shove one of those great big pretzel sticks up there
Salsa mixes after the fact, leading to a way higher risk of bacteria growth.
Full disclosure, I totally made that up, but it kinda makes sense to me 🤷♂️
Gotta upvote that straight admission of rear end information
After what fact?
Actual fun fact: Most brands of salsa have an acid content high enough to deter bacteria. Tostito's salsa varieties are NOT among them and cross contaminate ridiculously easily.
Relevant anecdote: So once I had to get my stomach pumped because of some cross-contaminated Tostito's hot salsa.
Factoid bundled into worldview . . . . . . . Confirmed
Pizzagate was real (y/n)?_
Several stores around me sell fresh varieties of salsa in those flat wide containers, essentially the same shape as I usually buy hummus in. You have to eat it within 5 or 6 days or it starts to go bad, but that is not a problem because you can eat right out of the container.
I've never seen a tall salsa. Only flat and wide
Feast your poor eyes :(
That is-...why?!
All of ours are no taller than this.
There might be tall ones for like tacos and stuff, I dunno.
They need to be taller to fit in the high fructose corn syrup duh
No they should be fatter from all the high fructose corn syrup. Just like me
Outside the US?
The salsa I get is good for dipping, and I do like not dirtying a bowl if goal is a quick few chips between meals and not some big event. I think in a shorter, wider container it's because it's the type you buy already cooled, and it isn't jarred. Seems... fresher?
As long as the salsa isn't made in New York City.
Weird, around my area salsa is typically sold in a wide flat jar. I thought that was common all over.
