If you keep those items in the frig, they will last for years. If not, you will have to replace them faster because they DO go bad eventually, even if it's just the taste degrading. Organic molecules are complicated and start breaking down the moment they are created, so everything food-related changes over time to "not food" or at least becomes flavorless and devoid of nutrition. Refrigeration slows the molecules from jiggling so much and preserves these fine structures.

It's just a choice. I don't really see the point of buying your own bottles of that shit unless it's just a matter of convenience. So come on, let's be honest, unless your roommate chain the ketchup the refrigerator, ya'll are just buying your own condiments anyway.

It's worth it to buy my own bottles so I don't have to top hot hot dogs and hot fries with cold mustard or ketchup.

I mean, totally reasonable... just, unusual? I've never had issues with "cold ketchup" since it's kind of unusual to use more than a teaspoon on anything unless you REALLY love ketchup. Do you by chance have sensory issues? Like sensitivity to textures and temperatures?

Um... I'm not sure I've ever seen someone use less than a teaspoon of ketchup on an order of fries.

No i get that, it's just that I can't imagine how goddamn cold that ketchup must be or how much you're using if it actually gets cold enough to be noticable and chill your fries. I've been on Earth eating fries for a long time, at home, at restaurants, at other people's houses, etc... I just don't think I've heard the complaint that the ketchup is too cold XD

It's fine, just like I said, different and kind of quirky.
