You need to relax. Being a religious NPR listener, you grab the ketchup. Not much is in the bottle, and it has separated to the point that it needs to be shaken to combine. When you do that, it's spread out over the interior surface on the bottle, and you cannot squeeze out a satisfactory stream, just a sputter that gets redirected by the crusty lid onto your shirt. To avoid this scenario, make homemade barbecue sauce when your ketchup gets down to the critical level.
I imagined Garrison Keillor reading this and fell asleep about two hours in. Although the ingredients list was pure poetry, if you wanted to hear poetry read by a bloodhound caught in a bear trap.
I just tossed a bottle of ketchup with a 2006 expiration date. (Got buried waaay back on a top shelf.) Maybe I shoulda hung on to it - it already had the color of BBQ sauce.
Here's another great "life hack." Cook a pork shoulder roast in a slow cooker with Coca Cola and a little chicken broth. Must not be diet - Pepsi doesn't work either. Go with regular Coke. When the pork is tender enough to tear apart with two forks, put the sauce in a frying pan and reduce by about two-thirds.
Actually, it doesn't. I think the Coke breaks down the meat. When you eat a pulled pork sandwich made like this you probably get about a quarter cup of Coke.
Well, I think you could add the dijon to this. Just do like Catholic post-communion clean-up where they pour the cleaning liquid from one vessel to the next.
Throw some hot peppers in the slow cooker at the beginning, and squirt some lime juice (or just a little vinegar) into the sauce after you've reduced it.

No molasses?

This directly conflicts with the life hack that tells you to pour coke down the toilet (to clean it).

The mayo is another story altogether . . .
