Okay, so we were JUST talking about this on the show yesterday.  "Food Rule " violators.  My parents ARE THE WORST people to go to a steakhouse with as they order filets...WELL DONE.

I (Charlie) want to crawl UNDER the table and I'm sure the waitstaff wants to kill them.  Anyway, what prompted the conversation is this new commercial from pop singer, Ed Sheeran.

He's at a "very posh" restaurant eating food, but believes something is missing.  Sheeran then whips out his personal ketchup and put it on his food.  The restaurant patrons are disgusted by his actions, but he appears satisfied.

I don't know which violation I like more...the whipping out of the ketchup, or the bringing of it to the restaurant in the first place!
