Your fries may never taste the same again!

For the first time in 40 years, Heinz ketchup is changing its famous recipe -- by lowering the salt content in an effort to appeal to more health-conscious consumers, the company said yesterday.

Well, I have to admit that, when I buy a small order of fries from either McDonalds or Burger King, I pick up and use anywhere from 12 to 15 packets of salt to add to whatever the workers put on the fries.

If I ate any more salt than I already do, I would become the Salt Monster from the old Star Trek series ...

.. and I still have the blood pressure of your average root vegetable.

Salt makes beer foam up.

This is kinda gross but I've seen people rub their nose (nose grease) and whirl their finger in their beer when they have too much foam. It actually works but is nasty.

That’s a BOLDFACED LIE!

If true they would be offering a new Heinz Diet or Heinz Lite Ketchup to go alongside the classic recipe. In this case they are scrapping the original. Clearly the Gubbermint is behind it.

So now I guess Pittsburghers will just slop lousy tasting diet ketchup on their 700 calorie sandwiches from Primanti Brothers....

Nope. Don’t recall ever seeing it.

Great tomato products.

Oh, well. :( At least the stuff I cook at home(cakes, chocolate chip cookies, pies, etc.) still tastes like it always did. The food police will have to arrest me for my liberal use of butter, sugar, chocolate and real vanilla.

I stopped buying Heinz products before the 2004 elections. There’s plenty of other good stuff out there.

I have tried Hunt’s Catsup and don’t like it.

It has to be Heinz. Same thing with Lea and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce. They got us by the short hairs.

"I use to love french fries, but then they changed the grease they were fried in and they tasted (to me) like cardboard."

I use Ore-Ida's Fast Food Fries at home. They're the shoestring variety. 11 minutes at 450, works for me. The only time I have them is when I make myself a hot turkey or hot hamburger sandwich, so they're slathered with beef or turkey gravy!! Yum!

I shop at Albertsons or Walmart. Both house brands are good. Heinz does have a “spicier” taste.

I very rarely use ketchup on anything I eat, so it doesn't matter if I have the store brand or Hunt's in my fridge. I make my own hot sauce for my hot dogs, and don't use ketchup or mustard on them, just onions and dill pickle slices (not Heinz).

agreed, a lot of things don’t taste like they used to. Some people claim it’s because of HFC instead of cane sugar being used. while I can see that in baked goods, the throwback versions of sodas tasted terrible to me...

“nose grease” is also good on metal fingerpicks. Quiets down the contact with the strings. Old Earl Scruggs trick.
