Grabbed what I thought was ketchup at a Wendy's drive-thru last Tuesday

I was going through the drive-thru in Nashville and grabbed a handful of packets from the bag. Dipped my fry in what looked like ketchup but it turned out to be sweet chili sauce. The packets have nearly identical red labels with tiny font. Had to pull over and scrape the rest off with a napkin before eating. Has anyone else been tricked by these near-identical sauce packets in fast food bags?

Read a news article last month about how fast food companies are saving money by using the same red packaging for different sauces now. Total nightmare. I grabbed a handful of what I thought were ketchup packets from a Burger King bag last week and ended up dipping my fries in some kind of jalapeno ranch. Had to toss the whole batch of fries. Sounds like Wendy's is pulling the same trick with their sweet chili - those packets might as well be identical twins.

Omg literally the same thing happened to me at Wendy's last week! I grabbed a handful of those red packets and slathered my fries in what I thought was ketchup, but it was that sweet chili sauce instead - ruined my whole meal.
