    One side is to blow into to get more sauce out more quickly. You can also shoot it at people with enough airflow.

    Optimisation. Otherwise, they’d have to make separate bottles for right handed and left handed people. That way, a single bottle fits all

      After I learned this I stopped using those dispensers. I don’t want to pour soy sauce through a spout that has been touched by ten thousand different unwashed hands.

        Then I would never visit China ever if I were you. When I was there for 8 years, every foreigner (expat) would be vomiting non stop within the first 2 weeks, myself included. We saw people spiting on produce to make it look wet, dying spoiled grey meat to look red, people getting/skimming “gutter oil” out of trash cans and sewers to use for frying street food.

        Case in point, if a finger on soy sauce is enough to make yo not use it, I wouldn’t leave the west, it only gets worse. A lot worse.

          ??? I’ve been going there every few months for the last 2 years and haven’t gotten sick. I do know a couple foreigners who got sick, one from cross-contaminated pre-cut fruit, and one from some diner they were invited to party at. I did have mountainside-clearing farts when I went to Korea the first time tho.

          people getting/skimming “gutter oil” out of trash cans and sewers to use for frying street food.

          Oil does not grow in sewers and trash cans. Old oil can be stored in cans buried in the sidewalk or in bins behind the shop. That oil is recycled for industrial processes, though there was an issue where people were buying that refined oil to use in food like a decade ago.

          There’s no reason to put oil in the old oil can and then take it out to reuse when you could just not take out the old oil.

          The food safety isn’t great in asia as a whole, but the gutter oil thing is taken massively out of context.

        On the one hand (aha) only the air vent gets touched and so the spy sauce itself should be fine. But on the other hand, a lot of bottles don’t distinguish between the air vent and the pouring nozzle and even on those that do you can guarantee that some dipshit will use them the wrong way around. Sooool, yeah. Great for home use.

    So you can flip it upside down and you and a friend can both get a drink at the same time.
