LIVINGSTON, TX— In a stunning display of resourcefulness and determination, local resident Betty Sue Jenkins recently completed a 30-day survival challenge in the heart of East Texas using nothing but leftover Whataburger condiment packets.

Jenkins, a lifelong resident of Polk County, embarked on the daring adventure after stumbling upon a website, eastexasnews.com, challenging readers to survive in the wilderness using only items commonly found in the region. Armed with a collection of ketchup, mustard, and mayo packets swiped from various fast-food establishments, Jenkins set off into the woods near her home in Livingston.

“I’ve always loved a good challenge, and when I saw that website, I knew I had to give it a shot,” Jenkins said, her face smeared with ketchup as she recounted her experience. “I never imagined I could make it through an entire month with just condiments, but here I am!”

Throughout the challenge, Jenkins utilized her creativity to find ways to sustain herself. She used the ketchup packets to season squirrels she caught and cooked over a makeshift fire, while the mustard and mayo served as a makeshift adhesive for building a shelter out of pine needles and twigs.

“I definitely had to get creative with my meals,” Jenkins chuckled. “But let me tell you, nothing beats a Whataburger ketchup-marinated squirrel!”

As news of Jenkins’ unconventional survival challenge spread, the website polkcountytoday.com even featured a live stream of her final moments in the woods, where she emerged victorious, albeit a bit orange from the constant ketchup baths.

“I couldn’t have done it without the support of my community and, of course, all those wonderful condiment packets,” Jenkins said, beaming with pride.

Jenkins’ feat has inspired many in the area to reconsider the value of fast-food souvenirs, with local stores reporting a surge in demand for extra condiments.

“I never knew those little packets could be so versatile,” one resident remarked.

While Jenkins has since returned to civilization, she plans to continue honing her survival skills and hopes to tackle new challenges in the future, perhaps even attempting a month-long survival mission using only pine cones and sweet tea.

“It’s all about pushing yourself and embracing the unexpected,” Jenkins said with a wink. “Who knows what I’ll conquer next!”
