Dara Ó Briain expresses shock at price of ketchup and surprising Burger King 'rule'

Dara O Briain has hit out at a chipper for charging him for a small sachet of Heinz ketchup.

The comedian posted on social media that he was surprised at the charge, asking "Is this a thing?"

Dara, 51, also had a pop at a Burger King restaurant for only allowing one sachet per packet of chips.

The funnyman took to Twitter to tell his fans about chipgate.

He posted a photo of the Heinz sachet and wrote: "Did I miss something? Has the Ketchup supply chain broken?

"Burger King are now only allowing one sachet per portion of fries, and you can’t even buy more.

"And the chip shop I was in today charged me 50p for a single sachet."

He added: "Is this a thing?"

The Dublin comedian will join fellow comics such as Tommy Tiernan, Deirdre O’Kane, Emma Doran and the Dirtbirds at the Paddy Power Dublin Comedy Festival next month.

Dara was recently forced to cancel a UK comedy gig after the Corn Exchange in Bradford was flooded.

He posted a clip on Twitter showing a deluge in the sound and lighting control room at the Corn Exchange where he was due to perform.
