My son is something special lol. He'll eat ranch out of the cup from McDonald's. We caught him eating a literal stick of butter. It must be from my husband's side. My side are not butter eaters lol.

Are your plants outside? I couldn't tell by the pictures.

Its a half open balcony with tall glass rails on an apartment building, anything smaller than a horse with wings will have no issue to “sneak” in lol

Are we all going to ignore that the perpetrator, or perpetrators, ravaged the ketchup pack but largely ignored the Chick-fil-A sauce? Too pedestrian for them?
Ketchup is good, don't get me wrong, but it's available literally everywhere. On the other hand, Chick-fil-A sauce has a very limited scope of availability, and is fire!
I question the choices made by the interloper(s).

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.

I hate when that happens to my plants...

On the other hand, it may have been a cat(?), though I'm not accustomed to seeing them eating ketchup...

I once accidently dropped two of my flytraps down the stairs.

By the time the plants reached the bottom, they were completely uprooted, and the peat was everywhere (the walls too). I had to sit their scrubbing it all from the bottom, all the way to the top.

Lesson learned: be careful when carrying pots.

Apparently they decided that Chick Fill A sauce tastes meh with N Peltata (growth tip gone yum), N Vogelii taste best with ketchup among the rest of the options, as its the only plant no where to be found (anyone wanna give this receipt a try?). Thankfully they spared MikeB’s Purpurea who survived the fall during this robbery…
