1.
People hear "banana ketchup" and immediately think it's an abomination.
2.
And so with every fiber of your being, you try to be the one-man defender of your condiment hero.
3.
You don't usually find anyone of your kind, but when you do, it's a brief moment of simultaneous bliss and collective rage.
4.
Because you just can't accept people saying tomato ketchup is better.
5.
You don't mince your words just so you can straighten up other people's minds.
6.
You get tired of explaining yourself when people serve you tomato ketchup and you get upset.
7.
Or spaghetti that isn't sweet.
8.
It's a struggle when the restaurant you are in only has tomato ketchup.
9.
Even though you may slip sometimes, there's no denying that in your heart of hearts, banana ketchup still wins.
10.
You would DIE for banana ketchup.
11.
And tbh, one of the reasons you love being a Filipino is because of it.
12.
It's part of your DNA. It's part of your culture.
13.
You don't care about basic Filipino food stuff. You want people to go big or go home.
14.
People make fun of it being red instead of yellow and you're just not having it.
15.
When people ask why it's sweet, you get deeply offended.
16.
Or when people give you looks for making sabaw the ketchup to your kanin.
17.
And then people tell you you're OA but they just don't understand.
18.
Because to you, it's not just a condiment. It's creativity, innovation, and history, bitches!
19.
You don't even consider people who don't like banana ketchup Filipinos.
20.
Don't YOU DARE look down on it!
