They say it could save 1 million tons of perfectly good but inaccessible ketchup and other food from being thrown out each year — not to mention saving untold hours spent in frustration.

Nice!

Awesome, and they have FDA approval too. Should be seeing this packaging on the shelves soon.

I am more interested in this though:

Preventing pipe clogs you say? Reducing pipe friction? I'll take 10!

Depending on how robust it is this could have a lot of impacts for industry, from coating domestic drains (cleaned out my sink u-bend last weekend - yuck) to chemical plants.
