The only thing mustard is good for is sitting around so long that when someone does use it, that first squirt is nothing but piss water.
Why Do People Put Ketchup And Mustard In The Fridge?

-ketchup on anything other than fries is for simpletons and kids. It'll work in a meatloaf mix if you don't have paste/sauce. Too much sugar.
-ketchup on a hot dog is disgusting. Eggs!?! Gtfo. If it "comes" with a fast food burger I'll manage...otherwise mayo and mustard.
-mixing mayo and ketchup for fries is a pro move.

Years ago I was listening to "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" when Heinz announced it was going to start selling the premixed 'mayochup' and all of the panelists acted like mixing mayo and ketchup was the most horrific thing that had ever been concocted.
I was just like "WTF have you seriously never been to DQ or Wendys or 1000 other places that do that?"
People who eat ketchup on hotdogs should be sterilized.
That's why Nathan's Hotdogs doesn't have ketchup in their stores and will tell you to leave if you ask for it.
I love ketchup... on fries. Other than some form of fried potate or onion rings, it's nearly useless on it's own.

Mustard and ketchup are both trash. So is Mayo for that matter. But if I had to pick one of the three it would be ketchup.
Of course you want to compare the simplicity and the low footprint of simple mustard when comparing it to the real deal Ketchup. When it gets down to it though that's not what you really want, it's too bla. No sir, we won't find you at KFC dipping your nuggets in "simple mustard" You gotta mask that crap by adding sugar, honey, vinegar, beer, and a host of other bad stuff just to make it tolerable.
Ketchup isn't just a product name, it's a slogan. You wont find no honey Ketchup, or spicy Cajun Ketchup on shelves, no, Ketchup is awesome enough just like it is. Win win all around for GOAT condiment.
Because people who like Mustard don't need to dip a ton of things in it. It's never been a dipping condiment.
And I'm pretty sure I've never seen Colonel Ketchup with the Candlestick.

Im assuming the water is worse when it is warm. When it is warm it isn't as thick and that probably causes the water to separate more and the heavier ingredients to sink below the water. It still gets a little water on the top while in the fridge but nothing a good shake won't fix. There's nothing worse than opening the ketchup and having water go all over your burger or fries.
I use it on my fries, burgers, hot dogs, fish, and when I was younger scrambled eggs (lost the taste for that one). My son puts it on just about any meat he eats. It's the Jack of all trades condiment.
All the no this, no that, on, not this, not that, need to get a life. Be happy you have food. I’ve eaten things that would upchuck most posters on here, but I’m 61, and still growing. Taste is way overrated. Substance is not.

I will not eat ketchup, I think its gross, way too sweet.
I do go through a big bottle of mustard every few weeks.

Just to stir the controversy: I refrigerate hot sauce.
On topic: I refrigerate everything I can, aside from some vegetables and fruits. That includes hot sauces.
You get food poisoning a few times and you become real gun shy with food expiration dates and spoiling.
The only hot sauce worth eating has enough vinegar and/or salt to prevent bacteria growth.
I know it's irrational, and I don't care. If I open the container, its going in the fridge.
Buffalo chicken dip, likely made with Franks Red hot or some other kind, was the worst of my food poisoning escapades.
Otherwise, hot sauce is probably my most used condiment. Goes on almost anything. And putting a little cold hot sauce in a hot dish, is hardly noticeable.
Like that dummy Eli Manning says: I put that **** on everything.

Hot sauce was not the issue. The chicken or cream cheese were.
Most hot sauces are made through lacto-fermentation. You put salt, water, and chilis in a jar then let them sit on the counter a few weeks.
Cold hot sauce on a taco or bbq sandwich is blasphemous.
This is exactly why. I know vinegar preserves food, but peppers rot.
Once talked with a guy who had worked at a food factory in Ohio that processed tomatoes. He was telling me that the great thing about ketchup was that the quality of tomatoes doesn't matter because of the processing and vinegar. I know he's technically right but it still makes me suspicious about how it's handled.
I'm mostly kidding. When I go to restaurants, I use their table hot sauce. But at home, I have gotten in the habit of just putting everything in the fridge.. even if I know I don't need to.
I only started eating foods a day past exp date like a year ago. Before that I wouldn't touch it if it was one day past.
Restaurants don't do this. They do keep them on shelving in the back that is as air conditioned as anywhere else.
Firehouse subs has a bunch of hot sauces lined up - opened and not refrigerated
The restaurant I worked at in college had a job called "marrying the ketchup" where we would take the half full ketchup bottles and drain them out to refill other half full ketchup bottles.
None of the ketchup was ever refrigerated at any time.

Sound just like me except I don't play around with the dates at all. Some people will smell the milk but I dump it the day after.
I've started to loosen it up. More so things that have yet to be opened, but may have expired the last day or two. Meat as well. If it says to "cook by" such and such, most of the time you're fine to cook it a few days after.
Dairy is the only one I generally don't toy with. 90% of the time, you'll be fine. but when that 10% hits, it's just not worth the risk.
I co-ran a dairy farm for over 30 years. You wouldn’t even eat cheese or butter if you knew what I know. But apparently, it’s safer than most foods, as I haven’t been arrested yet.
