Why are mustard packets sooo much harder to open than ketchup packets?

It doesn’t even matter what brand of mustard vs. what brand of ketchup, mustard is always harder to open. If you don’t believe me try it. I asked this at lunch yesterday and my friends just ignored me.

I think it's because most mustard packets are made from two different kinds of cheap plastic, where one is clear so you can see the mustard. Ketchup packets are usually all made from the same, easily-tearable, foil-like material, so they're easier to open.

Thanks, that makes sense.
