A hotdog and pretzel stand with large hanging bottles of mustard, ketchup, and mayonnaise. The bottoms contain squeeze tubes to dispense the condiments.
I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport.

But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.
