W Ketchup

Recommended Posts

WASHINGTON, (AFP) - Americans allergic to the subtle Democratic flavor of Heinz ketchup can now plunge their "freedom fries" into a 100-percent guaranteed, patriotic alternative: "W Ketchup."

 

"You don't support Democrats. Why should your ketchup?" says the W Ketchup Internet site wketchup.com, which promises a totally US-made condiment, right down to the bottle.

 

The only thing dumber than the ketchup itself is the fact that people will probably buy it.

I patiently await the day restaurants divide their tables up into different sections for each political party - each with their own set of condiments.

What political party does my cheap generic store brand ketchup fall in line with?

That one has already been done, sadly enough.

 

Oh, I didn't even catch this part of the story. It actually might be WORSE than the ketchup, if that's possible:

 

Star Spangled Ice Cream was also launched last year as a conservative alternative to the produce of Ben and Gerry's, the ecology-leaning company whose founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield had supported Democrat Dennis Kucinich (news - web sites)'s unsuccessful campaign for the presidential nomination.

 

Among the flavors offered by Star Spangled Ice Cream: "I Hate The French VANILLA (Real American Vanilla, NOT French Vanilla)" and "Nutty Environmentalist (Rich Buttery Ice Cream with Roasted Pecans)."

Enviromentalists taste like pecans? I find that hard to believe.

I did a google search:

 

And came up with this.

 

The term "FANCY" refers to the USDA Grade A Ketchup that is a standard of

identity. US Grade A or US Fancy tomato ketchup possesses a better color,

consistency, and flavor, and has fewer specks and particles and has less

separation of the liquid/solid contents than US Grade B or US Extra

Standard Ketchup and US Grade C or US Standard Ketchup. Substandard

tomato ketchup fails to meet the requirements of US Grade C or US

Standard.

Its Sunday. High ranking Ketchup officials don't work today.

I hate the Sabbath. The one time in my life I have a legitimate question for the ketchup people, and they're CLOSED. Tomorrow, are they ever going to hear from me.

 

If what Will is saying is correct, I'd like to see this Grade C ketchup.

The important people won't talk to you, though. They still have swelled heads over their product being named a vegetable the the Reagan administration.

Ask them the difference between Ketchup and Catsup while you're talking to them.

Ok. I got some customer service bozo on the phone after some talking. Turns out the Fancy moniker is indeed an indicator of ketchup "grade." The grade C stuff is mostly what you'll find in jails, soup kitchens, etc. Government Ketchup, basically. I asked specifically.

 

Catsup and Ketchup: Only difference is the spelling. This is according to the fine people at Hunts.

 

You have no idea how glad I am to have gotten closure here.

That's fucking brilliant. You have picky eaters out there(like Inc) who will say "I only eat Catsup...Ketchup is too (bullshit reasoning here) for me" and will then choose the higher priced of the two. Every new bussiness owner should strive to become like the ketchup corporations in the end.
