Bottle ketchup banned in high school


Chandler, Arizona (AP) - One Arizona high school has added another item to its list of banned substances: bottled ketchup.

One student at Basha High School in Chandler was disciplined after being caught with a ketchup bottle two days in a row. And the principal says the school called the parents of several others found with the contraband.

The smuggling began after the school cafeteria limited students to three packets of ketchup per hamburger. You can get extra packets, but they cost 25 cents each.

You also can bring your own packets. But bottled ketchup is banned because the school says it would be a health code violation.

The policy was adopted because administrators were fed up with students stomping on ketchup packets and squirting the red goo on sidewalks and hallways.

    It's not condiments that are banned in school, it's condoms. Must be a foul up somewhere.[;)]

    Didnt Uncle Ronnie say that ketchup is a food group?????????

    1 bowl hot water
    4 pks of crackers
    Add ketchup to taste
    equals 1 FREE bowl of Tomato soup (but eat fast before they pitch you out on your ear)![:D]

    The schools are pretty much day care for the most part...they aren't feeding the kids the right foods at home most of the time, so I can see where the school systems would try and ban ketchup from the diets of the kids. Ketchup has a lot of sugar in it...I bet some kids eat enough of it to really be a problem.

    I know when I was in school it was wasted more than it was used. Who needs ketchup that bad???? Why not just bring your own lunch if its THAT bad????

    I think the school got pi$$ed because they had a good racket and the kid was cutting in to their profits. I know some schools are hard up on cash but gosh darn it man needs his bottle to choke down the saw dust burgers[:D].

    Actually they are a day care. I worked part time as a custodian for a local high school to make some extra cash (was trying to get in the system before the levies failed and wiped out that hope). A lot of the classrooms were filled with empty pepsi bottles, snack wrappers and crumbs. Spills from the soda was on the floors. The teachers wondered why they had ants. One or two rooms got so bad the custodians refused to clean them until the teachers did something.
    The I.S.P. or detention room was just as bad. They give the kids a 15 minute bathroom break every hour as they are drinking and eating in detention. The bathrooms next to the detention room are trashed. They pull the soap dispensers apart and smash the soap packets all over, rip apart the jumbo roll toilet paper dispensers breaking the locks and throw the rolls in the toilets. Jam the drains in the sinks and and urinals and leave.
    The girls are just as bad. Went in to clean their bathroom once at night and they had their used tampons and napkins stuck to the wall spelling out obscenities.
    This is a suburban middle class to upper class neighborhood school also.

    ......A possible loophole: Check the wording of the ban, and maybe the kids can bring their own "catsup".

    ......When ketchup is outlawed, only outlaws will have ketchup.

    It's about time. Catsup should only be in the hands of trained food-service personnel.
