condiment Maxed out salsa tub-

We recently scaled up the salsa recipe, got a new chopper and a 48" spatula.  Every batch of salsa is a little different based on how much the onions have to be trimmed, the size of the cilantro bunches, etc.  Today, I think we hit the max for this mixing tub.

Every once in a while, I'll give 'em a couple tubs with little extra something.  1 teaspoon habanero and 2 teaspoons Jonah 7 Pot per tub oughta do the trick!  :twisted:

Did someone say TUB of salsa? I think it's bath time!
If heated salsa tasted good I'd put it in the hot tub!

Are those liver containers? Or what is often referenced as liver containers? They seem to be the same as the BBQ tubs that my uncle and them used for the 1200 pounds of pork shoulders they did....
At first I was like ...???...but I think I know what you are talking about! 
 
I do remember 16 oz plastic tubs in the meat department with liver.  That's probably the first memory I can come up with for those 16oz containers.  But they have been used so much over the past 20+? years in the deli department at most stores that I call 'em Deli Tubs or Deli containers.  That's even the way they are labeled on the boxes now.  Deli Tubs.  Find 'em labeled as such at the restaurant supply stores.  Funny thing is, for the past "forever" I've been ordering the 16 oz tubs through the local grocery store's Meat department....not the Deli department. :lol:
 
One local store Deli still used the round 8oz, 16 oz, 32 oz containers.  The other Deli counter uses the rectangular hinged containers with ridges. 
 
 
Wayyyyyyy back in the day, one lady working in the "round container deli" store, stated she didn't like a competitor's salsa because it was in the hinged lid rectangular container with ridges in the tub, and the ridges made it hard to get all the sauce out of the container. 
 
 
Random comment that has stuck with me, and now I use clear straight sided tubs at about double the price of the Natural semi-opaque tubs.  Plus the fact the Natural lids don't fit tight. 
 
But there have been issues with these new expensive tubs also.  Sometimes, there are a few lids in a row that don't have as wide of a lip and the lids pop off the containers very easily.  In some sleeves of tubs, the first 4-8 tubs have vertical splits in the sides, like a machine gripped too tight and split the side of the tub. 
 
Just another crap that has to be dealt with.  Bidnis as usual~   
 
I just heard that one of Evan's classmates' family (who is very familiar with the salsa and other products) just bought one of the XXX salsas and it was waaaayyyy too hot! 
 
I'm asking him "why did they buy the XXX?  They Know Better!"  
 
He didn't have a good answer~~~  :banghead:
