Rites de potage (LXIX): The Condiment Packet Gallery

An archive of flexible portion control condiment* packets. Curator: Chris Harne

The following rules make the collection more aesthetically pleasing and easy to maintain:
1. Only squeezable tear-off-the-corner packets
2. No spices, salts, sugars, etc.
3. No extra large packets (but there are exceptions)
4. Very similar packets are acceptable

* Koch: A condiment is a prepared edible substance or mixture, often preserved or fermented, that is added in variable quantities, most often at the table, to make food more suitable to the diner’s taste. – Harold McGee

Ausweitung der Zielgruppe

»Wir kämpfen laufend um neue Boxen.«


Peter Röthlisberger, Chefredaktor von Blick am Abend, Ringiers neuer-alter Gratis-Abendzeitung (Start am 2. Juni, Ersatz für das defizitäre heute), in: Die grossen Boulevardgeschichten werden auch bei uns vorkommen (persönlich.com-Interview, 26. Mai):

Die bestehende Leserschaft wollen wir behalten. Unser Wunsch ist es aber, die Zielgruppe auszuweiten und künftig alle zu bedienen, die nach vier Uhr Zeit haben, uns zu lesen. Das Blatt wird etwas hochwertiger und die Ansprache etwas erwachsener. Das zeigt sich auch daran, dass wir unsere Leser künftig per Sie ansprechen.
