Pour the dregs of one container into another so you end up with one full bottle instead of two sad half-empties. Classic move during prep or close-down: ketchup bottles, oil jugs, half-empty squeeze bottles all get married. Health inspectors hate it when done wrong (cross-contamination, FIFO violations), which is why a lot of kitchens technically ban it and everyone does it anyway.
“Before you clock out, marry those two ranch bottles and date the new one.”
