Shoot, just went to KFC for lunch specifically to grab some jelly packets, and they don't have grape jelly packets anymore. Does anyone know where to get squeezable jelly packets? I can order them online if I have to but don't need 200! Happy to buy food at a place where I can grab a handful.

Minimus.biz sells them by the packet. I'm only used to jelly or jam in those little plastic containers. Is that what you are looking for? My local breakfast restaurant carries those. You might try Bob Evans or Denny's or a local diner as well.

Burger King used to carry them, I'm not sure they still do.

I was looking for Strawberry jam in a squeeze tube to cut down on the waste production, but all they have in the store are big 20 oz tubes, which is a bit more than I need for 6 days.
Hardees or Bojangles might be worth checking.

I've ordered from Minimus, too, when I need more than a couple of packets but less than hundreds.

When someone from work gets a dozen biscuits in the morning to bring in for everyone, Mcdonalds puts a couple of handfulls of jelly packets in the bag. So we always have a pile of them with the condiments in our break room.

Make sure you get a wide variety of flavors. It will keep everyday a new adventure.

Small, cheap, plastic squeeze bottle or Coughlins food tube. Pack your own and no sticky trash to contend with.

Make sure you stick the traditional flavors like grape or strawberry. I had some of that Kentucky Jelly once and it tasted terrible. :eek:

I've been wanting to go up there. :)
Yes, WOO gave a good suggestion. Many diners have those Smucker's packs(not really squeezable tubes though) in asst flavors. The other thing I've done is as Chiefiepoo said. Get a squeezable Coughlins or GoToob. The GoToob's are easier to refill/clean(they have a large mouth), are colored so you know what's in each one, can be used for toiletries or food, etc. I've found the GoToob's sold in a pack of 3 @ 3oz each tube at Harmon's, Cosmetics stores, Pharmacies, and even WalMarts for about $8-9. Put whatever you want in them. The caps stay on pretty tight and don't leak in my experience. I like taking along almond butter, tahini(sesame seed butter), peanut butter, hummus, ghee, etc

I'm often in State of Confusion, maybe I could swing by and bum some... ;)
I'll try McD's and Chick Fil A. Thanks, all!!!

If your thru-hiking, KFC is probably your best bet, but due to them usually holding the sauces behind the counter, getting alot at one time might be tough depending on how willing the cashier/server is to give them out.
If your preparing to head out, or are on a short trip, trying checking out a fancy lunch cafe with a buffet in a business district in your city/town. The suit and tie lunch spots tend to have everything including spoons, salts, and all all different types of sauces openly available.
If you don't want to track down jelly packets you could try to find a small squeezable tube of jelly and save yourself the trouble.
