I wonder why?

Cool. My sister-in-law bought a bottle of Heinz ketchup while here and I took her receipt and exchanged it for another brand.

[Dallas59]

Buy local Ketchup.

[Ron in Acreage]

Good. I will never buy a Heinz product again.

[stockpirate]

I can tell you this, I have stopped buying the product. And the ketchup is my favorite!

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Think they'll ever catch up?

[chambley1]

I wonder why?

Because it's reddish tint reminds voters of the blood shed by POW's getting tortured while John F'ng Kerry made pain greater.

LOL!
No coincidence about it.

Since the CEO of Heinz is a Republican and heavy donor to the RNC, I guess this means he will have less money to donate.

[Dallas59]

Could they change the name? Maybe to Znieh Ketchup?

Aw, poor widdle Heinz.
That W ketchup has a nice zingy flavor,
and I was a big time Heinz ketchup lover.
Ah, the power of the people!

[BizzeeMom]

We just received our W ketchup the other day. Bought a case of it. :)

You can file that under the BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Section!

Hahaha I live in Pittsburgh, Heinz is the local Ketchup...well not made here anymore since the Del Monte sale, but you don't find anything but Heinz here.

Frankly while I get the political jab attempted by "boycott" Heinz Ketchup has about as much to do with Theresa as Kerry has to do with Honor. Her relationship with the Heinz family was by marriage only.

Is extinction around the corner?

[HamiltonJay]

Don't confuse them with the facts when they are all riled up like this.... just wait for their sugar buzz to wear off and put them to bed.

Heinz is the company Terayza's husband, a big pub, built. She is not an officer nor does she sit on the board of directors. Her only connection at this time is continuing to hold stock in the company, which is less than 5%.

She sold out most of her shares a long time ago and uses that money to support lefty causes. Going after Heinz because she holds shares is like going after Rogaine because Carville uses it on his cueball head.
