The grams of waste per teaspoon of ketchup seems high.

What else has a super high packaging waste per consumable volume?

the large packaging is so they don't grow legs and walk out of stores or warehouses. some retailers require larger packaging, plus those non-recyclable trackers embedded inside for anti-theft systems. some of those larger blister packs and hangers are comically large.
