That $6 squeeze bottle of mustard ruined my whole sandwich routine

I was at the deli counter last week and the guy just squeezes a perfect line of yellow mustard on my sub like it's nothing. Meanwhile I'm at home wrestling with a glass jar that shoots a glob the size of a quarter onto my bread every time. Has anyone else noticed the new plastic squeeze bottles at the store feel like they're made for dispense control but actually just clog up after day two?

Heard there's a trick with squeezing from the bottom to prevent clogs.

Gotta love how everything these days is designed to look better but actually works worse. First it was ketchup packets that explode, then those impossible-to-open plastic clamshells on electronics, now mustard bottles that give up on life. It's like companies think if they make the packaging look sleek and modern, we won't notice it's completely useless after two uses. The real kicker is the deli guys have some secret technique passed down through generations, and the rest of us are left fighting with crusty tips and random squirts.

Hang on, wait - you had a deli guy actually squeeze a perfect line of mustard on your sub? That's like seeing a unicorn at the supermarket. Every time I go to the deli they just hand me a little cup of mustard on the side like I'm supposed to build my own masterpiece. And yeah, those plastic squeeze bottles are a total scam. I bought one last month and by day three the tip was completely crusted shut. Had to poke it open with a fork and then it shot mustard all over my counter and my shirt.
