PORTLAND, Ore. --The ketchup packet has been around for more than 40 years, and complaints about it for nearly as long: too messy, too small, too hard to open. Now ketchup giant H.J. Heinz Co. is unveiling the first major packaging change to the to-go condiment.

Are tomatoes technically a fruit?

I don’t even use all the ketchup in the current packages.

How does this help Michelle Obama fight against child obesity?

Heinz has enough money. Wouldn’t give John Kerry or his missus a dime of my money. There’s lots of ketsup out there that’s just as good.

She’ll spend less time putting ketchup on her hamburgers which means more time she can spend fighting childhood obesity.

“To really figure out if a tomato is a fruit or vegetable, you need to know what makes a fruit a fruit, and a vegetable a vegetable. The big question to ask is, DOES IT HAVE SEEDS?

If the answer is yes, then technically, you have a FRUIT. This, of course, makes your tomato a fruit. It also makes cucumbers, squash, green beans and walnuts all fruits as well. VEGETABLES such as, radishes, celery, carrots, and lettuce do NOT have seeds (that are part of what we eat) and so they are grouped as vegetables.”

What’s the difference between ketchup and catsup, and what makes fancy ketchup just so fancy?

[Obadiah]

Well, it is one of life's little annoyances. You pass the drive through and you need 30 packets of ketchup. Then, if you're daring, after you rip it open wit your teeth, you squeeze the little droplets onto your fries hoping you don't squeeze too hard and get bloodied by flying sauce. If you are successful you now have a tiny amount on your fries that you now have to eat with your fingers while you drive and get ketchup all over your dirty digits. It is not for the squeamish, nor for those wear ties and try to keep their car reasonably clean.

“What a terrible idea. Don’t they know that fast food is killing this country via obesity? This new packaging only promotes bad behavior and should be banned.”- M. Bloomberg

[dfwgator]

They’ll make for really good toilet seat “squishies.”

[Osage Orange]

And I heard on the news it took them THREE YEARS to come up with this new package????

[Notwithstanding]

Ketchup packets in Europe are twice the size of the ones in the US - but they cost 0.20 euros each.

[Osage Orange]

and what makes fancy ketchup just so fancy?

Less..or maybe more rodent hairs????

I dunno.....

[the invisib1e hand]
