YOU DON'T SUPPORT DEMOCRATS. WHY SHOULD YOUR KETCHUP?
I just had a delightful conversation with an American entrepreneur. He is both hated and beloved. If you are a supporter of sKerry, he is a member of the dreaded vast right wing conspiracy.
Bill Zachary and three of his pals, admittedly after a few drinks, had a great idea a fews months ago at a barbeque. They saw the Heinz ketchup bottle and wondered --- why are we supporting this? We need our own ketchup. Alas, W Ketchup was born. Isn't American ingenuity marvelous?
The company contracted with a manufacturer to make a private label of their W Ketchup. The first order had to be 48,000 bottles, so they had to raise the money. They did, and the first shipment arrived on the Friday before July 4, 2004.
Who was the first customer? It was the conservative icon William F. Buckley, Jr. Buckley who proudly served it at a dinner party.
In a short time, W Ketchup has sold over 100,000 bottles. Zachary gets a couple hundred emails a day, split between blessings and curses. One of his favorites is, "You have the blood of Iraqi babies on your hands."
W Ketchup has been featured in stories from around the world, including in the Irish Times and a Korean paper. A Russian camera crew recently visited his warehouse and filmed some footage for a TV piece.
To order, you can click on the link above and order from the website. You might like to do what I do when I go out to eat. Take your W Ketchup with you and make a mildly loud scene having the waiter or waitress remove that dreaded other product from your table.
Rabble-rouser. :^P
My W Ketchup is currently in Laurel, MD and should be here tomorrow. My daughter says she refuses to eat Democrat (Heinz) Ketchup anymore so I hope it arrives on schedule.
I hope the GOP has arranged to have a lot of the shipped to NYC for the convention...every delegate shuld get a bottle in their "goodie bag"..and all the caterers for all the parties should have the stuff...can you ask the guy if he's gotten orders..and has he sent any to the WH?
Fantastic!
*PING*
I invited Bill to this thead. I hope he has time to come here and answer a few questions.
Thanks, Doug...please ping me..

In an on-air taste test between W Ketchup and Heinz, W Ketchup was judged as tasting “more conservative, with a sweeter, more compassionate taste.”
