The Ketchup Conundrum (2004)
- maaark 8y ago14 years later and we're still all eating Heinz. Sorry, Jim.
- sodosopa 8y agoI still prefer Heinz. I’ve had gourmet ketchup and still go back to Heinz. I’ve walked out of places for using that Sysco garbage ketchup.
- GrumpyNl 8y agoThe more sugar, the better people like it.
- delinka 8y agoThis seems to be the case for soooo many foods. And every time something gets sweeter, my family complains and we stop buying that item. We swore off a pizza chain years ago when we sat for lunch and the sauce was too sweet.
- exhilaration 8y agoHa, was it Pizza Hut?
- DiabloD3 8y agoIf it comes from a chain, it ain't pizza. Every town has some hole in the wall joint that makes pretty good shit.
- sodosopa 8y agoPossibly in my primate brain but I tend to prefer savory over sweet. But fried potatoes, salt and ketchup may be the key to why I have a preference.
- wodenokoto 8y agoI too find Heinz to be the definition of what ketchup taste like, but walking out of a place because they had the wrong brand of ketchup is downright silly
- sodosopa 8y agoTrue but I’m a snob about it since I don’t eat fast food but do like a good burger. It’s something I rarely eat. So it’s like the Van Halen Brown M&Ms, if they have Sysco ketchup, I can assume (yeah, yeah) the place doesn’t care about what their food taste like. If it’s homemade, I’ll try it out.
- HeyLaughingBoy 8y agoConsidering how easy it is to make decent ketchup, I'm surprised that most restaurants don't bother.

French's is making headway in Canada due to Heinz closing it's facilities and laying off 700 workers.
- DiabloD3 8y agoHeinz is absolute garbage, and consistently the worst major brand on the market. I want flavor. It is ketchup, it needs to taste like such! The only two major brands that pass muster are Annie's and Primal Kitchen. Everything else is a thickened red sugar with a tiny smidgen of vinegar added in. Generally, if Heinz makes a product, assume its botched garbage and isn't anything like what it claims on the bottle. Ketchup, mustard, steak sauce, relish? All fucking garbage. You're only here on Earth for so long, quit eating depressing fake food.
- el_don_almighty 8y agoI love me the Sriracha ketchup. I also like mixing my own with Franks or Franks wing sauce. I don't ever eat normal ketchup
