Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Just because the hole is big enough, doesn't mean you should go sticking stuff in there.

[–]dongsy-normus 136 points137 points ago

[–]AgentBoJangles 43 points44 points ago

Even better. I use a drink lid.

[–]Dojinsan 39 points40 points ago

Everyday Reddit proves to me that I'm not unique.

[–]Nokia_Bricks 9 points10 points ago

Doesn't the ketchup seep through the straw hole?

[–]yelnats25 4 points5 points ago

I just put it over a napkin.

[–]Litico 63 points64 points ago

Wait, no. Seriously, they do this?

[–]PatAunces 31 points32 points ago

Yes, but I can't get them to sit flat without tipping over, so I just accept defeat and use the smaller version.

[–]thebest99 24 points25 points ago

but then again... who cares if a mcdonalds tray gets dirty

[–]ChaoticAgenda 54 points55 points ago

Nobody does, which is why I don't want to eat ketchup off of one.

[–]TesticleToe 4 points5 points ago

Use a small drink lid as a condom for the ketchup.

[–]catnipassian 18 points19 points ago

My mouth, because I don't know who touched that tray last.

[–]vertigo1083 14 points15 points ago

You're doing it wrong.

[–]katalyst_ 5 points6 points ago

i am experiencing a feeling akin to what i felt when i learned that the spoons in mcflurries weren't straws, but in fact were used to stir the mcflurry in the first place.

this...this changes everything.

[–]FreqFace 7 points8 points ago

EXPLAIN YOURSELF

[–]NekkidSnaku 3 points4 points ago

I am such a fucking dumbass.

[–]Orange_Astronaut 6 points7 points ago

This is actually an unintended side effect of their design. The reason they can fold out and are made like this is because they are made from flat cutouts that are molded to make the smaller cups. This is much less expensive than making a bottom and a side and gluing them together, but it allows them to be spread open like this if you so choose to.

So basically, they're designed to be used in the smaller form, but because of how they're made, that is not even their final form.

[–]dongsy-normus 3 points4 points ago

Thanks Buzz Killington

the deleted comment was from OP and it was a gif, then he started crying about the downvotes.

I was going to tell him, complaining about downvotes?

[–]its710 2 points3 points ago

not right now you dont.

[–]WTBKarma 58 points59 points ago

friend of mine does something I never seen before and its quite weird, he tears a small corner off, grabs a fry, squeezes a row of ketchup across the fry, eats, repeat for each fry.

[–]r00dyp00 9 points10 points ago

Hey, I do it too. Normally, when I eat, I'm not in a hurry. If I'm so much of a hurry that I don't have the time to take, then will settle to eat something more manageable (or just eat the fries sans ketchup).

It just works. There's such little ketchup in those packets already that you don't want to go wasting it to begin with.

For the record, though, I do do bigger squirts, holding a bunch of fries at a time, instead of one by one. But still, it works.

[–]WilliamDeeWilliams 20 points21 points ago

"I do do bigger squirts"

[–]sandman369 14 points15 points ago

Weird, but efficient. No ketchup wasted!

[–]Hoobleton 31 points32 points ago

Lots of time wasted. But I guess if you value your ketchup over your time...

[–]sandman369 29 points30 points ago

Oh I do. You have no fucking idea. (Continues browsing Reddit for hours on end.)

[–]Shibidybow 252 points253 points ago

who the fuck can eat one fry at a time?

[–]Se7en_Sinner 57 points58 points ago

[–]danE3030 62 points63 points ago

When I first saw this post, I thought it was the tipping point of unsubbing from /r/LPT.

[–]remotephone 17 points18 points ago

Give it a few hours and this will be on there. I can almost promise you.

[–]The_Mosephus 6 points7 points ago

me.. this is the only way.

[–]ShuggaCheez 192 points193 points ago

Because its inefficient and stupid.

[–]makgzd 17 points18 points ago

Not when you're eating fries in the car and want ketchup on them. An even better way would be to eat some fries, then squirt ketchup in your mouth.

[–]booyyyd 117 points118 points ago

I can hear you getting fatter.

[–]evilash422 7 points8 points ago

It saddens me no one gets this reference.

[–]Ygg_drasil 3 points4 points ago

I'm right there with you buddy.

[–]makgzd 20 points21 points ago

Lost ten pounds last month, actually. I work as a manual laborer so I burn more than enough calories to offset the fast food.

[–]MrTomMarvoloRiddle 2 points3 points ago

Same here, I'm in tiptop shape and eat fast food twice a day... it's all about burning.

[–]s0cket 6 points7 points ago

Why in gods name are you getting down voted? The logic is sound.. if calories in < calories out you lose weight. Now there is the point of nutrition and if the diet is nutritious enough to be "healthy"... but that's not really part of this conversation.

[–]righty 14 points15 points ago

1 hand for ketchup pack 1 hand for fry

So unless my math is off or you have more that 2 hands, you have 0 hands on the steering wheel.

[–]monkey_fish_frog 5 points6 points ago

McDonald's was supposed to incorporate these years ago. They still haven't.

[–]AcerRubrum[S] 7 points8 points ago

WHERE? only place I've ever seen em is at Chick Fil-A and I live in the liberal elite east coast region where my closest one is 40 minutes away.

[–]Poi-son 12 points13 points ago

Wendy's has them now too.

[–]AcerRubrum[S] 2 points3 points ago

ugh, none of the ones around here, Although they do have Mr. Pibb in my local Wendy's. Small victory there!

[–]cuteintern 2 points3 points ago

I've gotten these from Wendy's in western NY. I may have seen them in a local grocery store, too.

[–]4alex6 0 points1 point ago

they're at my school now, first year having them.

[–]Armyless 3 points4 points ago

God damnit, now I want Chick Fil-A and it's Sunday.

[–]AcerRubrum[S] 2 points3 points ago

Ouch. Good point.

[–]sallydreams 5 points6 points ago

I use to do that all the time growing up. We were McDonald's kids. :( My grandma kind of worships McD.

[–]angry_squidward 3 points4 points ago

BECAUSE YOU'RE A FUCKING IDIOT

[–]wirsteve 7 points8 points ago

Or you can find restaurants that have packets like these. http://consumerist-com.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/assets/dipnsqueeze.jpg

[–]TaintedSquirrel 31 points32 points ago

That's the smallest order of fries I've seen in my life.

[–]MysticKirby 4 points5 points ago

Chick-Fil-A has these and they'd be awesome if they didn't only serve waffle fries

[–]FalconOne 8 points9 points ago

Man, I love Chic Fil A's waffle fries.

squeeze some ketchup on a fry, and put the fry on the sandwich.

yummy.

[–]AJBURNSRED 9 points10 points ago

Because it is an irresponsible amount of impractical.

[–]splein23 3 points4 points ago

because a handful of fries and squirting a packet into your mouth is so much better.

[–]neebo_2323 6 points7 points ago

Because it can't fit 3 french fries at a time - the scientifically perfect amount of french fires for one bite.

[–]yentlequible 9 points10 points ago

I just suck a little bit from the ketchup packets every time I stick a couple fries in my mouth. No mess at all.

[–]bcl0328 29 points30 points ago

da fuck

[–]hjonsey 8 points9 points ago

That is almost as good as the cup. I look at ketchup so differently now.

[–]Kamylia 6 points7 points ago

First time you go to try it will be in the car and it will go every where!

[–]PGLubricants 3 points4 points ago

I reckon most people won't have a license when they try it the first time, but you're probably right.

[–]CrapNeck5000 2 points3 points ago

Thats only good for like, 5 fries though.

I would recommend making a tiny hole in the packet, and squeezing out a small amount on each fry.

[–]TheExcellence 1 point2 points ago

Because it's a lot less inconvenient?

[–]Jedoro 2 points3 points ago

It's okay, I've never found a french fry in a ketchup packet, either.

[–]njensen7 0 points1 point ago

One does not simply buy ONE french fry.

It's not "stealing." Reddit is a link aggregator. This is, quite literally, the purpose for which Reddit exists.

[–]NJDevils30 9 points10 points ago

It's perfectly acceptable when a reddit user posts someone else's idea without giving credit but as soon as IGN, 9gag, or some other website uses something on reddit without referencing it everyone freaks the fuck out.

[–]dailyfusion 2 points3 points ago

Because its a dumb idea

[–]AreoMech 1 point2 points ago

because I normally eat more than two fries at a time.

[–]AdmiralWhackbar 1 point2 points ago

[–]Abbadabbey 1 point2 points ago

Started doing this in high school. Still doing it 12 years later. My boyfriend thinks I'm crazy.

[–]Amsterdom 1 point2 points ago

Why'd you want the fries packaged inside the ketchup is beyond me... won't they just get all soggy during transport?

[–]Novalisk 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I can already imagine squeezing the packet too hard and having a terrible accident.

[–]meatwad1987 1 point2 points ago

from the looks of that fry, you're at Burgerking

[–]kalimashookdeday 0 points1 point ago

But you'll wipe the salty goodness away. That's unacceptable.

[–]zaykessel13 -1 points0 points ago

[–]Mine6chan -1 points0 points ago

[–]Lo2487 0 points1 point ago

You should prob just tear the corner, squeeze ketchup into your mouth, then proceed to stick tons of fries in. Easier and mess free.

I can't imagine opening a ketchup packet that precisely. I try to make a neat tear, add a little more pressure, then it splits down the middle and gushes everywhere.

Freedom fries are meant to be eaten by the trough full. Eating one at a time is awfully French....

This is also a great way to prank a friend. Substitute the fry for the straw from their soda and then put the straw back in the soda. The cup lid makes it so its next to impossible to notice.

[–]Maxfunky 0 points1 point ago

Because that's way too much ketchup for a single french fry. Hell, at that point, you might as well just have a nice delicious glass of ketchup and save yourself some money on the fries.

[–]belzurkur 0 points1 point ago

[–]Falconetti 0 points1 point ago

Because it is really inefficient and a pain in the ass?

[–]its_so_on 0 points1 point ago

so I somehow got it in my head that something happened to the person in the picture, like their fry got snapped in two or some shit.

So I click and it's like, What's happened to you? What is the calamity?

I can't find the carnage. So I click through the comments. I become more and more confused. It was not until 5 minutes later that I realized "occurred to me" is like, this great idea you had. Duh. Of course. I knew that.

am I the only human who is perfectly content to just eat fries without ketchup? I'm usually all like "nom nom" until they're gone. Fussing with ketchup just creates more mess and hassle.

[–]CircusAtari 0 points1 point ago

If you're like me, and you probably are, you fill your mouth with fries with each bite until you are borderline gagging because the sweet sensation of almost choking to death on trans-fats and carbs gives you a sense of fulfillment that no other experience could possibly provide.

And that requires much more ketchup.

[–]FriedOBrienHash 1 point2 points ago

who eats one fry at a time??

[–]BetaReality 0 points1 point ago

The instinctive reason to not do this would be to make sure the ketchup is indeed only ketchup and not with a rodent part or bug. This comes from a common fed paranoia of stories from canned food to fast food having surprises in them.

Apparently there are some who are not that paranoid. After all canned drinks do not show their content, and I'm sure there are some horror stories revolving that product. I guess it's only when it's relevant news do people over react and not trust the UN-investigated product. Otherwise a lot would double check if it was in the news.

[–]vmos 0 points1 point ago

because you need one hand to hold the sauce, one hand to hold your chips and one hand to dip the single chip in the sauce and put in your mouth.

Now that might work for you folks down there in Devon, but for us regular two handed folks, it's a bit problematic.
