Abstract
An arrangement of individual condiment serving packets in an outer container is provided having an approximately cylindrical container with at least four dual-packet sheets within said container.Each dual-packet sheet has a pair of individual condiment-filled packets each having a condiment-filled portion, said packets having a weakened tear-line in an unfilled medial portion of the sheet between them for manual separation of said packets for individual use. The dual-packet sheets are arranged with their condiment-filled portions in opposed front-to-back contact with their medial portions in parallel alignment and pinched closely together or in contact so that the condiment-filled portions are arranged generally like spokes on a wheel sized so as to fit into said approximately cylindrical container and to be thereby maintained in said approximately circular arrangement by said outer approximately cylindrical container.
