So who on this site is eating 6 bottles a year? I figure someone here is eating my share.

Malcolm Gladwell wrote an article called The Ketchup Conundrum that explains why (despite countless efforts to tweak it, improve it, add variety), the original ketchup recipe remains essentially unchanged. It's a great article. I guess I like reading about ketchup way more than eating it.

I'm with you on this one. I dont use ketchup at all, so I never bought it. So, someone on this site is eating 9 bottles a year. LOL.

I tend to use mayo on everything, including dipping fries in it. Hellmans only.

I use a lot of it, but I know it isn't 9 bottles a year!!

ketchup <---- way too much sugar in it!

I was born in Pittsburgh, Penn...(perhaps you have heard of our football team) so I am definitely a fan of Heinz! Although they make the Hunts in Oakdale CA which is not far from my current home.

HEINZ, of course!

This thread is giving me a craving for onion rings. It's my favorite food to have with ketchup.

I have a weird relationship with ketchup. I can stand the smell of ketchup around other certain smells, like cigarettes (I hate the way they smell anyway but the mix of the 2 is puke-worthy) and other foods.

I also think it is disgusting to put ketchup on eggs, tuna salad, and hotdogs. I am vegetarian so I don't eat those things but the thought is YUCK!

Now I'm going to be observing ketchup usage among members at the Reunion.

Ketchup is vile, absolutely vile. Cannot stand it and don't like the way many people cover it over their food (I tend to have rather intolerant food habits). That said, I'd instinctively opt for Heinz over other brands because of the old Heinz - Joe DiMaggio story.

I like, in limited usage, HP sauce (not sure if it's widely available across the pond) and hot English mustard. I also love mayonnaise on french fries.

This thread has me wanting to can my own ketchup now. hmm.... I wonder..

I don't use it too much. I like it on hot dogs, rarely fries. When I see people put ketchup on hash browns I want to cry for the hash browns. . Sometimes mixed with mayo to make that pink dipping sauce for tater tots. Mostly on my burgers I love mayo/mustard (anything that gets close to Burgerville sauce makes me swoon).

Just sayin that it might be me who's going through 9 bottles of ketchup a year.

Love it. Like disgusting amounts. Heinz for sure in the giant Costco sized bottles

Yup. Haters gonna hate
