I've been know to spread the ketchup on them first. However, I dip the french fries when I substitute mayonnaise for ketchup. I first tired mayonnaise on french fries while stationed in Germany in the 90s. The Germans preferred mayonnaise to ketchup.

Interesting factoid. The first tomato ketchup was invented in 1812.

Also, when you're at a fast food burger joint and you ketchup is in a little pleated cup. pull the pleats apart and you can get more ketchup in it and dip your french fries easier.
