Do you have a "packet drawer" in your kitchen?"

One of the funny You Tube videos I watch over and over is Tom Hanks as an affable redneck in SNL's Black Jeopardy. I'll provide a link below. One of the questions involves a "packet drawer," the kitchen drawer where we all store our leftover packets from Taco Bell, the "Sushi Place," etc. Do you have a packet drawer in your kitchen? Mine is actually my silverware drawer. It is there you'll find my ageless soy sauce, hot sauce, and Horsey Sauce.

My family did, but I don’t. Maybe I should start the tradition in my own home. It’s handy when you need hot sauce, or there is no ketchup for your fries.

No ketchup with your fries? For shame?

@AmbiePam Actually, I prefer A-1 Sauce on my French fries.

@wolfgirl569 Got it. Most of mine are from when I have Sushi.

Funny video, Tom Hanks always proves to be a great actor. I never heard of "packet drawers", this must be something different in your culture.

I had not really thought of it until I saw the video. Maybe it is an American thing.

Those restaurants are starting to charge for packets. Even McDonalds. I don't go to enough of them that often to need a drawer for them.

I don't have a packet drawer but I have a container for sauce packets, etc. I don't know why I have it as I never seemm to get around to using them.

We used to. Now we just have some stuff in the butter holder in the fridge.

No, I only have 4 packets of ketchup right now. Threw the rest away because they were ancient.
