?? That's got to be a special non-stick worktop. But.... why? WHY?

“But.... why? WHY?”

I think you’re missing the diabolical genius of it. Instead of simply wiping up your spilled ketchup or mayonnaise, say with a paper towel, you can now sneak it into the neighbours’ house and deposit the incriminating sticky blob – perfectly intact - on their kitchen surface or expensive couch. If you want to get next door’s kids into trouble - or the husband or the dog - it’s the perfect tool.

Just a small correction; "Rite in the Rain" paper has been available since the 1920's; it's more typically designed for outdoors use rather than the shower though. http://riteintherain.com/
