Do you have a secret trick to get those last globs of ketchup out of the bottle?

This team of engineers came in second place in MIT’s $100k Entrepreneurship Competition, just a few weeks ago. The biggest payday, however, will come if they actually sell the invention to companies that make sauces, a market that is worth $17 billion.

Maybe some big companies will bite 😉
